Theme nights/Fancy dress at POF events..Good or bad thing?
Posted: 7/5/2008 5:00:56 AM
It rather depends who the PoF events are for. If they are for the regulars to meet up with their friends and have fun then I suppose my opinion doesn't matter. If they are for new members to meet people then I think fancy dress is a bad idea as it definitely has put me off from attending events.

On the rare occasions when I get a chance to dress up, I want to wear some of the nice clothes in my wardrobe that rarely if ever get seen. It is unnerving enough to go to an event on my own where I don't know anyone, without the added embarrassment of wearing fancy dress.

Perhaps fancy dress events could be alternated with non fancy dress to keep everyone happy.

An event was mentioned where the only requirement was to wear blue, and I could go along with that.

i love dressing up at the meets, thats where my pic was taken, and when we move onto a club i find it helps as we are still all a group of people together and tend to stick toether rather than drift off

Personally, I think fancy dress is a bad idea - mostly for the reasons that have already been discussed. And saying "fancy dress optional" isn't likely to help; those that are feeling a bit timid about coming to a meet are also likely to think that they're the only one who won't have dressed up, so they're still not likely to come.

Anybody who wants to dress up is, of course, free to do so for any event - so if you want to wear fancy dress, do so - but please don't force it on others.
