I can't say I've been to any high end events, which seems to be the kind of event this article means, but really this whole thing just seems incredibly shallow and really awful.

If I was going to any event, I would pick my partner based on whether they would enjoy said event or not, not based on their style and how well they compliment mine. Being proud of my partner is less about what they wear and more about who they are - my boyfriend may be a jeans and tee kind of guy, and I much more fashion conscious, but that wouldn't mean leaving him at home to go somewhere with someone who dresses in nicer clothes.

Who gives a fuck about what others think?

People are people, I wouldn't use them as an "accessory" if people who hold events choose to do so that's their issue. I can't fathom the thought of using people in my daily life as an accessory.

does that mean then that i cannot bring a friend along to a party even if said friend is a blast just because it's either he's beneath me or out of my league, looks-wise? although i do understand why people would worry about such a thing. if that's the case, why would you even want to go to such a party?

bring who you want to bring. probably the only reasons why i wouldn't bring someone with me to a party is because they're incredibly dull, extremely rude or have terrible manners (in that case i would have to rethink why i was friends with that person in the first place).

People are people. Not accessories. I understand that everybody has a different style and some even choose to disregard style completely; I wouldn't associate myself with someone for the sole reason of being attractive or fashionable.

Would you use a number system to rate your plus one? It's not about choosing someone more attractive than you. It is about choosing someone on your level. Someone that complements you.

Wouldn't a dull personality or bad manners make someone "unattractive?" Some types of events really do require giving thought into your plus one... Especially when you are there for networking or at an important benefit.

No, that has to be one of the shallowest things to ever be said.
