Just tell them all how wonderful they are! Also might want to mention how exceptionally good looking each of them is.
There is no end to the amount of praise you can heap on those guys. (Then just hope the get-together ends soon!
)
It does pay the bills, so best to help your boyfriend.
Can you get out of going to some of those meetings? Do other girlfriends / wives not go?
Also you might want to try selling something door to door. People say NO a LOT and it can be quite discouraging. How do you and your friends treat door-to-door salesmen? (probably not very good.) I had to sell stuff door-to-door for fund raising in high school - quite discouraging to be told no by 10 houses in a row!
