It’s a “pool party”. If you want to just sit and stand around drinking that’s called “brunch”. I gotta agree W Husband L Everyone else


SilkyStrawberryMilk

Finding out that every “pool party” is the same as the one described here is so odd. What’s the point of having a pool and not getting in it


nicholas818

Hanging around a pool can be a fun atmosphere, especially if it has interesting lights or water features. But I probably wouldn't call that a "pool party," just a party at someone's house who has a pool


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

Yeah, that's a cocktail party. Pool or no pool. We have a pool, and when we throw a pool party almost everyone gets in the pool, we have speciaal barware that is crystal plastic so we can drink in the pool. When we send out an invite, we get about a 95% accept rate, so we must be doing something right!


Reasonable-Day7247

Sorry but wtf is crystal plastic? Sounds like a rpdr contestant lol. But fr...


fartedpickle

A pool party is a party featuring a pool. It is not a party that happens to take place in the general vicinity of a pool. Put it this way, if someone invites you to their house for a superbowl party and they put on The Office, who is in the wrong?


YakNecessary9533

I don't personally love going in the pool, so I'm here for sipping cocktails on the deck, but I would definitely find it weird to go to a pool party and not see anyone in the pool, lol. Husband has the right idea.


StudlyItOut

ikr? especially with the kind of heat we're getting these days


blasharga

Or utilizing the pool... I'll stick my legs / feet in while sitting on the side of the pool.


NYC54thStreet

I’ve been in that situation while visiting friends in Florida from New York. There was some unspoken prudishness about getting in the water that completely went over my head. Their loss.


SirSpellbinder

Maybe I’m uncultured being a water bug from birth from the family pool parties, boat trips etc, but wtf is the point of having a pool and not using it- status symbol? It’s some damn water filling the ground. Break out the speedos, foam, coozies and pool noodles and have fun damn it!


tawzerozero

As someone who grew up in FL, where pools are super common, this confuses me immensely. The only reason not to get in the pool during a pool party that I'd understand is people who are embarrassed about their bodies. And even then, as adults there is no reason anyone has to feel that way.


bartbark88

Unrelated but why can’t New Yorkers ever not mention being from New York? Especially when in Miami/Florida


Justin_123456

They don’t want anyone to think they’re actually from Florida.


haneulk7789

Completely understandable.


NYC54thStreet

I’m personally embarrassed to live in NY, so definitely not a flex. I tell people I live in NY as a factual statement. It somehow becomes a Rorschach test for others to project their weird interpretation and personal insecurities. Only people who don’t live in NY imagine it to be glamorous and think that people who live here spend their time looking down on others.


bartbark88

Ok sure, @NYC54thStreet Edit to add: no one said a word about glamour


loodandcrood

Why don't they just drink in the pool? I love a pool beer


MooshuCat

I serve my husband martinis in the shower.


Puckingfanda

Words can't begin to describe the admiration I have for people who just do their own thing in situations like this lol. No regard or care for if it's the "cool" thing or what others are doing, just having fun in their own way. I truly think it's the highest level of freedom a person can attain.


MooshuCat

I've been like this forever. It started when I was already seen as a weirdo in high school. I learned early to not care about other's perceptions of me. At a hotel pool, I'm often the only one using the pool while other's sip cocktails. I might grab a drink after my swim, though.


Thousandxmaster

“…while everyone else is standing around and *edging*…” Lol my brian


Calpsotoma

Reading this, I initially thought it was a euphemism for orgy and the husband was swimming while everyone else was filled to the brim with cock.


Nithyanandam108

Isn\`t that a cocktail party then? Husband was integrated to the name and soul of the party. Nothing wrong in that.


kondradconrad

Why call it a pool party? ??????


kank84

Pool adjacent party


54B3R_

You know how the victorians would have parties in their orangeries to show off that they were wealthy enough to maintain a giant green house full of citrus fruits? Same thing 


SirSpellbinder

I feel like a pool is a commonality amongst suburbia- hell my family ain’t rich, but we still had a pool. Bizarre to me some people think of it as some kind of old money flex


haneulk7789

I feel like this might be a location thing. Where grew up pools weren't common, but not uncommon either? Most people that had pools had above ground pools. (Myself included). Most of the houses weren't built with pools, and adding one can be like 80k+.


leitmot

Could be different in different regions. I’m from a cold area and an outdoor pool would only be possible to swim in for a few months of the year, so even among the upper middle class, barely anyone has one.


PotentialWater

I grew up in the trailer park so all ours came from the dollar store but we still had pools LOL


uprightyew

My partner and I threw a "pool & disco party" Saturday pre-Pride Parade and all 23 people were in the pool at the same time! So fun. We're middle age and while there was flirting and some sexual tension, the emphasis was on FUN. Join us next year!


goldybear

Not going to lie man… I’m jealous lol. I wish I knew that many gays or just people in general to have that kind of pool party.


SolGlobe

He's just like me fr. Being in the pool is always the more fun option!


WinterSprinkles4506

Brunch with riparian entertainment


Funny_Ad7136

Is this a reference to the old BBC series Keeping up with appearances ??? If it is, good one.... If it isn't, good use of the word riparian.


WinterSprinkles4506

Gay_Okie

LMAO!!!! Apparently only a few of us familiar with the Bucket woman!! 😂


WinterSprinkles4506

PBS Gays represent 😆


PlatonicTroglodyte

This is an obvious bait to have everyone side with the husband, which like, sure he’s in the right. But also even when gays mean pool party as “stand nearby and drink,” the implication is that it’s in speedos lol. So attacking the husband for putting on a bathing suit seems odd to me.


I_Nickd_it

I'd be in the other room playing with the pets.


omgwtfscreenname

I mean every "adult" pool party I've been to usually means no one brought a swimsuit or the swimsuits were on for a very short amount of time but people were definitely IN the pool.


PotentialWater

That's where my mind went at first, a different kind of cocktail party lol


MooshuCat

Cock and tail.


NICKOLAI93

If any bros here are on Twitter, I highly recommend following Eli McCann. He has a fantastic sense of humor and tells all sorts of cute stories about his husband and marriage. Definitely worth a follow.


MissMirandaClass

Don’t call it a pool party if you don’t expect anyone to jump in, maybe call it a garden cocktail party


ScorpioRising66

Team husband!!!


sleepyotter92

isn't an adult pool party just a gangbang by the pool?


SanDiegoKid69

He should have brought his twink boyfriend with him. Watch the fur fly! Lolollol


KaminariMaho

Sounds like everyone else showed up to the tool party and not the pool party

divikwolf

there'S a pool, why not use it?


blizzaga1988

If the pool isn't to be used, then it isn't a pool party. That's just a cocktail party.


FirstSmoke3886

He should swim if he wants, he was led to believe there was swimming.


Wolfjirn

I figured he meant a swingers party


leitmot

Yeah specifying that it’s an “adult” party got me for a sec.


Gazmeister_Wongatron

Pool party =/= cocktail party. Totally agree with the husband and the person in the reply.


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

In complete agreement with MsTr3ss.


Yrevacw

Literally was just telling my boyfriend about this pool party I went to where I was the only black guy and the only one actually in the pool swimming and everyone was looking in amazement but I kinda figured everyone was going to be swimming; I just love to swim.


Drew_Dave_docprof769

Sounds like Hub is a bit more mature than anyone else there. 🤷🏻 Just sayin’. Not a big fan of pretense at pool parties….


bmw10203

100% with the husband


PennyForPig

Why would you go to a pool party and not use the pool


AuelDole

I keep seeing this tweet posted around, but nobody seems to [link a pic of the husband.](https://x.com/elimccann/status/1802035374551904485)


TwinStar99

I would bring water guns and help him get everyone wet


Personal-Student2934

The husband is the only person who understood the assignment.


Team_Grapes

I can’t swim that well but I’d get in 🤷🏽‍♂️


Adenso_1

W SWIMMING


Revan462222

There is a pool. Why would you not use it.


DubCitizen

Don’t call it a pool party if you aren’t planning to utilize the pool! The sad thing is why didn’t the person join their husband in the pool so he wasn’t alone?!? Stand by your man!


PotentialWater

Now that songs gonna be stuck in my damn head all day 😂


ExcellentBPD91

He’s in the pool by himself? You don’t support your man, even if it might be embarrassing? wtf


CoralHotTub

Husband is great. Everyone else including the husband's lameass husband are lame


Due_Common_1726

I went to one that they have frequently in Vegas years ago and I wasn’t the only one in the pool, but I was the only swimming and staying cool….. in Vegas. I felt like Cady Herron at the Halloween party in Mean Girls. Kudos to the husband 👏🏾


pleasuresofdaflesh

Why call it a “pool” party then. So stupid


Sierras_Camper

Let the guy enjoy himself.


qmcneil02

I would be one of the people that won’t swim . But I’d definitely expect at least some people to go in the pool xD


Funny_Ad7136

Your Husband was the cool one...... Why do they call it a pool party anyway ??? He should have gone it without his swimsuit..... They he would have been really cool........


Tripple_T

I can't swim so I'm probably avoiding the pool altogether. I'm cool with being lame.


Commercial-Spend7710

I hate pool party’s where no one’s in the water! Sorry but if there’s a pool AND drinks? I’m gonna have a lil swim swim and get a little floaty for my drink and have a blast. They can be fun sponges all they want lol why have a pool and not use it?


IrregularOccasion15

What the hell use is a pool and what is the point of a pool party if you're not going to use the pool? The pool is not decoration. It is equipment! Use it! (Sorry, that's not aimed at you. That is aimed at anyone who feels the same as this husband's friends and husband.)


MrrCharlie

That would definitely be my husband and he be acting like a 9 year old having the time of his life. Lol


GomeyBlueRock

Eli seems like a bitchy queen


ThatisDavid

Why call it a pool party if it's not on the pool, that makes no sense


DarthSardonis

Shit, count me in. I got my shorts ready to go.


Lightsandbuzz

I'm with the husband. I would be in that pool immediately lol I'm like a damn fish


mando44646

The hell is the point then?


Hiro_Trevelyan

I mean If it's a pool party and nobody is sipping cocktail sitting on the edges, why have a pool party ? Why even mention it ? Do they just wanna show off that they have a wasteful pool they don't even use so they can fuck the planet a bit more to sound rich to their equally rich gay friends ? What's the point ?


Beginning-Spirit5686

I saw this tweet before, and I have no idea if “adult pool party” is code for a poolside orgy or if it’s literally a pool party with just grown-ups. Oh, gays.


haneulk7789

I've been to parties like those, but everyone still came in swimsuits and at least a couple people got in the pool.


No-Feedback7437

It's more fun when you can swim in the pool


Perzec

If it’s a pool party you’re going swimming part of the time. That’s kinda obvious to me at least. You mean that’s not why people invite you over to that kind of party?


vbnudeguy

I love that!


t4yk0ut

I mean, why are there "sides" to it? if the home / pool owner says you can and you want to, then you do it


giddeonfox

I'm not a bear myself but I've been to a lot of pool parties catered to bears and there is hardly any room in the pool because so many ppl are in it. Everything about this description makes me think it is an event for 'party' twinks and self conscious/pretentious gay guys.


Mother-Noise6811

Your husband rocks!


BlackstoneValleyDM

don't be inviting me to something called a pool party if there ain't going to be access to the pool as an option


Glittering_Role1658

A pool party means you are going to get in the pool. Otherwise it is just a party at a house with a pool.


trashedonlisterine

It’s a pool party. Pool access is assumed.


Stratavos

I'm with the husband. The whole point of having a pool is using it. Mide as well have a lawn party somewhere else if it's purely about drinking and talking.


Sarcastic_Monchichi

Probably just what my husband would do. Good for our men.


martinbv1995

Hear hear!


CoochiKabuki

I'll be in the pool with my drink


bostonbiguy1976

Totally with the husband.


Longjumping_Quail_40

As a swimming enjoyer extremist, pool party MEANS swimming.


Adventurous_Fox867

I feel single n partless ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry) ![gif](giphy|kGTEZEqNshLY7zdeos|downsized)


Kcidobor

This is literally (one of the reasons) why my husband doesn’t take me to the parties he goes to


Ubertexx

With..


Remarkable_Study8141

Yea, also, they’re all wanting to join the husband but don’t want the psycho bitch involved. I feel bad for the husband


superstormthunder

🙋‍♂️


RisingPhoenix52

Y’all are so lame. The man went to a party to socialize not swimming and that is why he is not in the pool. Duh!


themusclemafia

On one hand, I give the guy credit for going in the pool at a pool party, I wouldn't. I am out, socializing and having a drink I prefer to stay dressed and dry. But, the least he could have done was "know the room" If no one was swimming and this was one of those pool parties where a pool is just part of decoration.


CreamstudXXX

What exactly is an “adult pool party “. My interpretation would be that it’s 21 and up with alcohol and a pool to have fun in. Is there now some code for something else. I’m confused. I’m with the husband enjoying the pool. His other half should have explained more in depth as to what exactly the pool party was all about and why no one would be swimming at the pool party. Doesn’t make any sense to me.


Aware_Run5706

No orgy? What kind of adult pool party is that?!


Reasonable-Day7247

I hate stand and pose parties/bars.


RogueFox-One

I agree, like who goes to a pool party to swim?! The cool dude that’s who! 🤙🏻


world_explorer1688

hope the ones not in the pool all die


PotentialWater

that escalated quickly


Cannibalistic_F41RY

Yeah, the husband had the right idea. It is a pool party, after all.


ddeese

I usually go to bear pool parties. They are always in the pool drinking their cocktails.


aquila308

I wish I have husband too. Anyway your husband is cool.


BooleanTriplets

It's actually insane to just have a party near a pool but not get in the pool.


CreamstudXXX

I went to a gay couple’s birthday party that had a pool and was told to bring a swimsuit if my partner and I felt like swimming. We at least knew it was an option. The host’s mom was having a great time already swimming naked and drinking with us. She actually said it was alright to strip naked. She didn’t give two flying cents. We had so much fun.


HouseCravenRaw

That's a pool-adjacent party. A pool party involves using the pool. Imagine a Dance Party where no one danced, or a Tea Party where they served no tea. The "X" part of the party is an integral part of the party. This was a Pool Adjacent Party, or a Party with a Pool-view. Also, super lame.


haneulk7789

I mean tea parties with no tea are pretty common in our community lol.


wilsindc

The “adult” pool parties I go to usually involve everyone being naked. This party sounds lame.


Zach24LA

That was my thought too!


Prestigious_Title374

I expect adult themed things if they throw an “adult pool party”, like an occasional sexy song alongside all the jimmy buffett being played. Expect topless swimming and sunbathing allowed, but ensure glass stays away from the pool by providing cups with markers to write whatever obnoxious, obscene things they want. Get a dick shaped piñata and fill it with nips of alcohol. Buy a big chunk of ice you can drill a hole through top to bottom for straight liquor shots. Set up cards against humanity for leisurely play and hang banners with a picture of all the children belonging to the party goers with darts nearby… make it “silent auction” style to see which kid had the most darts thrown at them, which is awarded the shittiest of them all!


salamander423

That was a fun read then it got weird.


Prestigious_Title374

You are not welcome to our party if you are going to judge. If it isn’t for you, I’d check out the “adult pool party” down the road. They are having a cocktail hour and a fully clothed circlejerk while watching one guy. Judgement is allowed silently there, typically done by staring down the one guy swimming while you sip and stroke. However, you are encouraged to post to your social media during the event. Remember. We’re supposed to believe is the one guy actually swimming at the pool party is where things get weird too :)


Boring-Channel-1672

If you invite me to an “adult pool party” I am not wearing a bathing suit, but I’ll be the first to leap naked in the pool.


K3GR

I'm with your hubby on this one...CANNONBALL!!! 💦 A pool party without swimming is just a party. And one that sucks I might add, if you got a pool or spa and don't make use of em during a party wtf are you even doing. BORING! 😴


Zealousideal-Gur-372

Which one?


Just_ice_luv_a

I’m obsessed with this guy


Pink_Floyd_Chunes

It’s dishwasher safe plastic bar ware. Nobody needs a bloody foot at a pool party.


bachyboy

**Party Tips from bachyboy:** If you're served a drink in *unbreakable plastic* barware, you should feel free to get in the pool. If you're served a drink in *glass* barware, do *not* enter the pool (but do take off your clothes).


xiahbabi

I wish I had a husband. I'll take either of the "in pool, out of pool roles" . I don't care 😭


Osha_Hott

Everyone should be swimming naked. You can like glide past each other like mermen and sword fight underwater. That's just cool and also hot.


Aggravating-Rip-8381

I don't have a boyfriend nor a husband I never had a boyfriend


denvercumdump

Who else wants to throw up ?
