Posted: 5/30/2008 9:19:48 AM | It's nice when people can be relaxed and just go with the flow!
We were going to the nicest restaurant in town,
but Oh My! Look at those trousers!
We'll just go to the BK Drive Thru Instead!
And these are quite often the people that CLAIM
to have such a GREAT sense of humor! | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 9:45:46 AM | I would laugh at such a comment, it wouldn't bother me in the least.
I can't imagine why it bothered him: he can't have failed to notice that they were wrinkly.
I can only think that there is more to it than this -- do you often make negative comments on his or other people's appearance/attire? Maybe the no-show is due to the overwhelming amount of roses rather than the comment about his crumpled trousers. Or something else entirely -- who knows what may have happened this afternoon to get his attention and make him forget to call you. I think you'll just have to wait and see. | |

You're still laughing at them, aren't you?
I have to admit that I didnt think a 42 year old man would throw a bigger temper tantrum then my 3 year old son does when I tell him no ice cream before dinner...lol. It is rather amusing and I have decided that I dont need a man that is going to throw a fit over something so little....like a another poster said "what would he do if it were something serious?"
I am just sorry that I spent the $13 dollars on roses...lmao...I should have bought a case of beer instead! | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 2:06:45 PM | | colorado, If you believe that WRINKLED PANTS are a deal-breaker, then by all means ...you should've ironed them for him after you only told him to take them off give them to you ...w/o telling him that it's why you wanted him out of his pants. Instead you missed an opportunity to learn why most men don't need to have their underwear ironed too, unless of course, your guy just loves his wrinkles. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 2:09:00 PM | | I certainly wouldn't have appreciated the comment. Probably would have snapped back with something very immature. I'm more sensitive to the things my SO would say as opposed to a stranger on the street. | |

Basically telling someone they look awful isn't the slightest bit serious? I guess I better rethink my serious scale then... | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 2:41:20 PM | | I wouldn't be offended. Probably embarrased. But promise if you iron them I'll squeeze your butt and nibble your shoulders while you do it. | |

I'm going to write a song entitled, "My Wrinkly Pants".
It'll start out all Beatles-esqe and cheery... then turn 70's psychedelic... then finish with a crushing death metal riff and lots of screaming...
Maybe, for the B-side you could do a cover of "my saggy bal1s" by the go-gonads. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 3:41:43 PM | I have not read all of the posts but I have a stinking feeling this has NOTHING to do with the wrinkled pants and everything to do with the final straw that broke the camel's back.
What I mean is it sounds like this might be part of a long history of you ragging on him about what he wears, how he wears it, his choices, his hair, etc. It makes no sense in the context given by the OP alone that a guy would go off like this. It sounds like this is the end of a long series of instances in which that context was left out. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 5:09:31 PM | Dating tip, no 365.
1) Turn up in wrinkled pants so that she says they look awful.
2) Act all hurt & offended.
3) She buys you a dozen red roses.
Nice !!!

Posted: 5/30/2008 5:53:10 PM | Well this is more rediculous then my box of smarties incident,
In my case, I was with my girl who gave me a box of smarties, i bit and ripped the top off to open the box. After having succeded in my efforts, she began yelling at me for not having used the convenient insert thumb tab provided.
Their were other issuse at play, however this isn't something to argue over lol
Much like the wrinkled pants incident of 2008, lol their are other issues at play.
my guess' are the following:
1. he was looking for a fight and he got it (bad mood)
2. you've been nagging him and commenting negativly on numerous things not just this isolated situation and he's had enough and decided to push back
3. he's feeling guilty about something and doesn't know how to express it, and is extreamly on edge
best of luck, dry clean only | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 7:08:01 PM | | Probably was the first time this guy ever tried to wash and perhaps dry his own pants and you hurt his feelings. Probably left them in the washer for several days and discovered they dried by themselves. Okay so they were a little wrinkled and you noticed. Gyou get a piture? Sounds funny, gotta say. | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 9:56:24 PM | 1) Would you get this offended and ignore me over this?
nope, he must be a mommas boy...cant dress himself, takes offense to every little thing
2) What can I do to make it up to you?
You said youre sorry..thats enough | |

It sounds like this is the end of a long series of instances in which that context was left out.
Actually this was the first instance I had said anything negative. Before this he usually was VERY presentable and smelled awsome too. I told him how handsome and great he smelled on a regular basis...so thats not it.
my guess' are the following:
1. he was looking for a fight and he got it (bad mood)
2. you've been nagging him and commenting negativly on numerous things not just this isolated situation and he's had enough and decided to push back
3. he's feeling guilty about something and doesn't know how to express it, and is extreamly on edge
Well lets go in order here:
1. makes lots of sense as he had been working long hours getting ready for a horse show and wasnt in the best of moods...however this was after the show took place and he was back to getting off work early.
2. I will admit my mood hadn't been the best and I had made some negative remarks (mostly about myself ) as I lost two jobs I really wanted.
3. I did catch him lying to me the night before all this happened and he told me a story I guess I was supposed to believe but knew the truth and told him so. He also as said before isn't a big talker so getting him to tell me where he wanted to eat let alone what was on his mind was a task in itself.
Oh well it is officially over as of today. I told him I couldn't deal with the fact that instead of talking to me he stood me up and blocked me out...I deserve better than that I think. Not just with the pants incident but with everything. I need someone that is more communicative then my three year old not less....when we went out to dinner I felt like I was there alone because no words were said. I like conversation and when I said something I would often feel ignored because he wouldn't reply or even acknowledge that I had spoke to him. Its for the best and I know that.
Will keep on   and if it happens it happens....if not well I have made it thus far single....just means I can buy whatever I want and not have to answer to someone...lol...like the $600 pool I bought today...lol.
Thanks for all your imput... | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 10:26:46 PM | sounds like you weren't right for each other.
Why is it that girls seem to feel that they can make little improvements to the man they are interested in? This is a fools errand. Don't do it. Either you like the guy or not and if you do, then do not belittle, complain, point out flaws, or make any other comments which you feel were meant to help by changing him in a way you feel is improvement. By the way, I also do not approve of men that try to dictate to their women how they should dress, workout, eat, etc..
In fact, you complained about his wrinkly pants because you were going to be embarrassed to be with him in public. Well honey, then don't go out with him! Simple as that.
Yea, I think the guy is overreacting a bit, but on the other hand, maybe he just realizes, perhaps rightly so, that you aren't a good match. | |

1) Would you get this offended and ignore me over this?
no. some days i'd say the trouser remark is an accurate observation. i hate ironing! that's why****es trousers rock out so much as they don't need ironing!
2) What can I do to make it up to you?
make it up to me? didn't offend me in the first place! however, i am a sucker for jolly rancher candies... mmmm, jolly ranchers!!!!
seriously, i'd say there was more to it than one remark about his clothing. if he went that nuts over such a small comment i'd say its his loss and move on. | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 8:34:21 AM | looool
too funny
I don't have an iron personally or an ironing board. So I use the technique of letting them iron themselves out as iwear them. ..unless they're business clothes that I take to the dry cleaner. Sounds like you just didn't think before you spoke, I might get annoyed by that comment also. Or maybe not. Depends how you said it.
Just remember not all guys have an iron and ironing board. | |

1) Would you get this offended and ignore me over this?
No, if they're actually that bad you should be offended that he cares that little about you to actually look presentable around you. I'm going off the premise that you guys had some kind of plans to go out and do something maybe so if he can't at least find a less wrinkled pair of pants to go out on a date with he sounds like a grade A moron.
2) What can I do to make it up to you?
Tell me not to show up looking like some trailer park cast off. Then tell me if I want to go out with you again I should learn the finer points of using a washer/and or iron before doing so.
In short no girl should reward a guy for being a slob who gets mad at you for pointing out the obvious . | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 5:13:31 AM | If you said I had wrinkled pants -- most men would reply~ "Its better that than me having a wrinkled face....no?"
This guy you described in your post sounds over-sensitive. He may have had underlying issues & your comment was the drop that made his bucket overflow. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 12:00:51 PM | I would have said: "Why don't you help me get the wrinkles out of this area right about here!!!"
I would be pissed if you bought me flowers. That may start a fight. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 12:05:43 PM | why would someone show up with wrinkled pants
and not expect someone would notice?
I'll bet if she showed up with a wrinkled dress he's say something.
He probably wanted out and couldn't figure out a way to do it
without stretching himself beyond his limited boundaries...so he
let you do it.  | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 2:37:40 PM | OP
You did more then enough to say your sorry, nothing more you can do really.
If a woman I was dating said to me I had wrinkly pants, I would just laugh/smile and say something like. "Ok wait I'll go change and you can iron them" 
Seriouly though, no it would not offend me, I would just make a light joke about it. Personally though I would never show up with pants that bad to begin with. | |
