I hate them.
I know I'm miserable 🤣
How do you politely decline an invitation (its a family member and so I don't want to upset anyone, but nor do I want to have to explain myself either) there will be a lot of people going who I don't know all that well and some of the ladies are a little on the wild side 😜
Anyone have any magic polite decline ideas?! They'll know I'm not away, so can't use that! Should I just be honest and say hen's aren't my thing or does that sound awful 🤔

Sorry, I can't make it. Have fun!

You don't have to explain yourself.

What ever you have to say- DON'T GO!

I should have added that you are not miserable for disliking them, indeed I would say you have perspective and sense.

"I wish I could but I don't want to." is my new favourite phrase after rewatching Friends on Netflix recently 😁
I try to use it as much as I possibly can.
