SADIE HAWKINS DAY DANCE HIGHLIGHTS SINGLES MEETUP SPECTACULAR

          Once a year single women can ask for whatever they want…and get it.   At this year’s annual Sadie Hawkins Day Dance in the San Francisco Bay Area, Saturday, November 15, 2014, 7:30pm-Midnight, men are NOT allowed to say NO if a woman asks them to dance. The party is at the The Fairmont Hotel’s Venetian Room, atop Nob Hill, at 950 Mason St., San Francisco CA. Contrary to popular belief, Sadie Hawkins Day does NOT occur on Leap Day. It happens every November 15.

     This year’s celebration will be part of the San Francisco Bay Area’s first Singles Meetup Spectacular, where dozens of singles meetups will exhibit and reveal many options for singles to meet new friends and engage in fun activities. $20 at the door also includes dancing to today’s hottest hits and the greatest songs of the past.

     “Single women have lots of complaints about single men,” says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization.  “One of the biggest is men who turn them down when asked to dance.  How rude!  At our Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, men will NOT have that option.  Sadie Hawkins Day is a wonderful opportunity for single women to be assertive and get what they want in life, rather than follow the disastrous strategy of playing hard to get.”

     Rich Gosse, author of eight books on dating, is available to the news media to discuss Sadie Hawkins Day in the context of bachelorettes fulfilling their romantic needs, by calling 415/479-3800.

     Sadie Hawkins Day, an American folk event, made its debut in Al Capp’s Li’l Abner strip on November 15, 1937.  Sadie Hawkins was “the homeliest gal in the hills” who grew tired of waiting for the fellows to come a courtin’.  Her father, Hekzebiah Hawkins, a prominent resident of Dogpatch, was even more worried about Sadie living at home for the rest of his life, so he decreed the first annual Sadie Hawkins Day, a foot race in which the unmarried gals pursued the town’s bachelors, with matrimony the consequence.  By the late 1930s the event had swept the nation and had a life of its own. Life magazine reported over 200 colleges holding Sadie Hawkins Day events in 1939, only two years after its inception. It became a woman-empowering rite at high schools and college campuses, long before the modern feminist movement gained prominence.

     This event is co-sponsored by The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization; and by dozens of singles meetups, including  SPiN, Single and Professionals, Bay Area Nightlife, Bay Area Singles, Singles with Advanced Degree, SF-Young-Single Professionals, Silicon Valley Networking Events, Beyond 40, ChristianSingles, Your Asian Connection, Cougar Parties, BlackSingleProfessionals, Free Speed Dating and Events, Beachcomber Singles, American Singles Who Love Asian, Quality-Hand-Selected Dating for 50+, Sweet-Sexy-Savvy-Singles, Irresistible and Amazing, On-Line Dating Profile Bootcamp, Tri-Valley Singles, Magnetic Man, Bay Area Party People, Marin Spiritual Singles, Matchmaker Make Me a Match, and many more.
