Posted: 7/8/2009 10:24:18 AM | LOL! well, Chris755 I happen to think Sam Elliot has one sexy voice, but the moustache would be a problem! To be honest I have never met a man with a 'magnum' moustache or better that I have been attracted to. A goatee or some beard stubble is fine, but I just don't like the look of a 'stache.
Now, a girl with a mullet...I have seen those too and equally horrible!
as far as the fanny pack doubling for a holster, the thought didn't even occur to me as I live in Canada and it is illegal to carry a handgun on your person, never mind a concealed one. That could be a whole other thread....
I would be more attracted to a man with a 'man-purse' than a fanny pack. Maybe it's a Canadian thing! | |

Oy! My co-worker makes fun of my nose all the time ~ you mean to say he's insulting me?

Posted: 7/8/2009 10:29:11 PM | | Nothing wrong with a fanny pack - guys don't always have pockets deep enough to carry all their belongings. I have no problem with them. There are other things that are more important dealbeakers for me. | |

Posted: 7/8/2009 11:24:57 PM | Thank you all for this thread. At least I now understand why so many are alone, and likely to remain so.

They were the epitome of cool until they became a favorite of older people. Hikers love them because you can get the ones that have an attached water bottle, and add a first aid kit to them.  Now they bling them out, and change their names to LV status bags ( same type of bag idea, just use a brand name to sell them). | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 4:01:20 AM | For a woman to reject a man because she doesn't like his fanny pack is just so silly.
That was as bad as the woman who walked out on me, because she didn't like my boots with the 4" stiletto heels. Or maybe she was jealous. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 5:55:05 AM | I'm actually surprised you're from Atlanta where a good man is hard to find, so something as superficial as a fanny pack couldn't possibly be a deal breaker!
I think his clever way of obtaining a second date out of you shows he was willing to compromise. Maybe the second date he wouldn't show up with the fanny pack. Maybe he would still keep his fanny pack but respect your distaste for it and not wear it around you.
I don't think he should've made the analogy of a material object to skin c olor. He should have simply told you, its not that serious. You gave him no opportunity to compromise or adjust.
P.S. I went on a date with a police officer who had a fanny pack, I asked about it and he told me it was his personal weapon that he carries off duty.
Should he have put in a shoulder holster which could make me uncomfortable and other people nervous?
Should he have carried it in a plastic bag?
Should he have carried it in a briefcase or laptop bag?
Would a man-bag be more appropriate for you? | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 9:06:05 AM | | Everyone draws the line somewhere. I went on a date once - and I'm not sayin' how long ago - who wore flip flops to dinner. You know: plastic thong-thingys on her feet. On a bad day I might wear them to take out the garbage. Actually I take that back, I wouldn't even wear them to take out the trash. I thought to myself - 'What is this? A date or trip to the convenience store to buy a pack of smokes?' Needless to say we didn't go out again. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 3:17:43 PM | LOL I died laughing at this post!! I totally agree with you honey! I wouldnt date him again! I feel that your first date is all about first impressions....
I once went out with this guy, and we agreed to go for drinks... and he was wearing Jogging pants with a fanny pack! I couldnt do it either.. I had to walk away! | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 6:12:39 PM | I have to laugh out loud at the thought. Putting a different spin on things, I think I may have just asked him to hold my smokes and then put my purse in the car for the night  | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 9:52:52 PM | Ah ya know, some people are just stuck in a particular decade. I see it all the time, all these 80's poofy hairdo's etc. I'm sure there is some girl who is stuck in the 80's who would be tickled pink by someone wearing a fanny pack. Some people just don't realize they are in a time warp, and appreciate being told, and helped out of that decade. Others are firmly planted there and keep the faith, come hell or high water.
LOL god, my parents in their 70's rock fanny packs.
Oh well, there is someone for everyone, and obviously he isn't for you. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 1:59:41 AM | I didn't realize that this post was still alive and kicking... but what the heck. Might as well for old time sake.
I guess the level of scrutiny we use when looking for a mate is relative. Nothing wrong with the women who called me shallow. All the more men for you to choose from once we superficial women have weeded out those we deem as unacceptable. Joking.
Really, you'll never hear me complain about there not being enough good men out there. Plenty of good men. I just have to find the one who best suits me.
And as to the suggestion that my shallowness is the reason that I'm still on this website/single... well the majority of those posting are single as well. What's your excuse?
Believe it or not, in all my single days, I've not looked back with regret at letting this Fanny fall by the wayside. | |

Women have all manner of purses that you spend hours gettin just right, transferring between, etc.........& guys are supposed to make due w/ trouser pockets? It's too dang hot down here to wear a jacket everywhere just for the extra storage!
Dude! They're called cargo pants! If you get the good ones, you can even stuff your laptop in them!
Kidding about the laptop. Maybe. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 4:20:11 AM | NO...you were not to shallow. I agree, Fanny Pack = Deal breaker. It may not be a big deal to others, but, if it is to you (and it would be for me), don't compromise. I feel certain, come Fall, you would have seen a "Members Only" jacket!
And...Remove Your Blackness??? How offensive!!! | |

Has anyone else met up with someone who had some sort of oddity that seemed small but was a total dealbreaker?
One guy asked me if I'd like to meet for coffee and then sat there leaving his untouched, explaining "I don't like warm drinks" 
I'm sorry, but I cannot see a future with someone who doesn't drink tea or coffee  | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 6:37:21 AM | No you are not shallow, that is indeed an oddity I could not help but laugh at.
It has never ever been ok for a man to wear a fanny pack in public.
I get a little creeped out about sunglasses on the head along with crossing legs at the knees and very short shorts myself and the fanny pack would go great with that "package".
Call me shallow, but hey it just looks so WRONG.

Posted: 7/10/2009 11:45:08 AM | | Here in Florida it is warm all the time. I know that a lot of cop's wear them when not on duty to carry ther off duty gun. Other wise you have to put on some kind of jackit or big shirt to cover it up. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 11:56:24 AM | I think you can choose whatever you want to eliminate someone from your search.
And seriously you shouldn't have to explain it or feel badly about it.
Jeepers...I thought I hit cancel instead of post.
But sometimes there really is something that freaks you out about people.
I saw a guy in the bookstore who looked nice but he was wearing bright
orange crocs with his plaid shorts. I just thought REALLY? All I remember
now about him is his crocs.

Sorry if this is a repeat, I'm not reading all 15 pages of drivel....
OP did you ever consider that there might be a specific reason for the fanny? A good reason?
Like maybe a severe food allergy....that would require using an "epi-pen" immediately, if he even got a hint of the food he is allergic to?
Would it have been better for him to call the Chef out from the kitchen, and interrogate him about the ingredients of every dish on the menu, to ensure that he wouldn't eat the "wrong" thing?
If the fanny had a "red cross" on it, indicating that it was a medical fanny, would that have made any difference to you?
I really would like to hear your response to this..... | |
