Posted: 8/6/2009 1:14:34 PM | I think the point that needs to be made here is that fashion sense, especially with a guy, should not be used as a measure of someone's character.
Let me make this clear to the less mature folks on here. When I date, deal breakers are things related to how the person lives, what their abilities are, and their integrity. A girl could come to a date with me in a trash bag if she was an active person, could teach me things, and treated people nice.
To act as if you know a guy is wrong for you because he has on a certain fashion faux pas, is pretty damn lame when you think about it. Like one of the posters said - What if he wore it because he couldn't fit his huge wad of cash in his wallet? He wouldn't be so dorky then now would he?
Sorry guys, making fun of a fanny pack just seems pretty high school to me. | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 3:17:05 PM | | Greg: I don't "savvy" because you're wrong. I think differently. A jerk is a jerk. Just because it's a woman, doesn't make it any different. It's pathetic when guys use the forums as a means to score brownie points with women by defending them no matter how stupid it is. I doubt you would be so defensive with regards to a complete stranger if they were male. You're transparent as glass I'm afraid. You savvy? According to your logic it would be totally reasonable for me to laugh at someone then dump her if she were completely perfect in every way but I didn't care for the color purse she may have decided to use that day. That wouldn't just make me insane, I'd be an arrogant moron. There's more to people than what fashion accessory they may have chosen on one particular day. You can bet money if that had happened to the OP, it would be a different story. | |

I'm not aiming this at anyone in particular, but I definitely agree. | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 4:20:01 PM | | I'm not sure if I'm more disturbed that you think you're a psychologist or that you've been stalking my posts. If you ARE stalking my posts then why are you acting like my comments surprise you? You have me all figured out so why not just ignore me? Why are you allowed to think what you want about people but I'm not? I have my opinion. End of story. If you don't like what I say then you'd better stuff your head up your as* because I don't plan to shut up anytime soon. Funny how you didn't bring up any of the positive comments I've made. | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 7:52:50 PM | look i agree with you. fanny packs are a huge no-no. credit to you for hanging around. i would have walked out laughing. i suppose it is a bit shallow.. but jeez a fanny pack? | |

Posted: 8/7/2009 2:46:34 AM | This is why people should go to dates naked.
That way they can't be judged for what they wear.
On a serious note, yes... It is very superficial.
But... Dating is all about physical attraction.
And physical attraction is... superficial. | |

Posted: 8/7/2009 6:13:00 AM | | Greg: It gets thrown at me whether I give it out or not and I don't really care to be honest. Water off a duck's back. If you're so sensitive to my comments (which have NOTHING to do with you) don't pay attention to them. Pretty simple solution. | |

Posted: 8/7/2009 2:02:04 PM | Oh shit fanny pack! Was I suppose to throw mine away???
True I have not worn it in a while.,
I don't think I got enough use out of it, to throw it away,
It was quite handy at the amusement park. 
so I really gotta put it in the goodwill bag Hugh?
Burn? shoot it? castrate.......
I only put it up because it wouldn't fit around my waist anymore.
But smaller now, Hmmm fanny pack to keep or not to keep??? | |

Posted: 8/7/2009 3:52:53 PM | | Today, I was getting my lunch at my favorite sandwich place and there behind me in line....a road worker, in coveralls and a brilliantly visible flourescent vest, with..... his fanny pack. Except....he had cut the strap from the fanny pack, and was using it more as a "clutch". While he searched for his wallet in his pack, digging through his smokes, keys, various and sundry items, including a small change purse where he tucked away the coins, I couldnt help think of this thread. Clearly this guy had a few items to tote around and didnt get the APB that even modified fanny packs were no longer in vogue. In fact...he couldnt have cared less. He grabbed his sandwich, tucked his clutch under his arm, in lethal range of his sweat glands and trotted out the door. No one would ever consider telling this guy, his fanny pack detracted from his appeal. He wouldnt give it a 2nd thought. | |

A small change purse where he tucked away the coins.
Brilliantly visible....flourescent vest and all.
Clutch tucked under sweaty arm pit.
And everyone survived, intact....no one was embarrassed or self-conscious during the making of this post.
You just made my day, *golfgirl* | |

I think you lack the conviction most 'Packers exhibit. A true 'Packer wouldn't give up on their ass bag just because it won't fit the waist anymore-a dedicated 'Packer would do something like cut the ties from a chef apron, and sew them to the pack strap to add girth. All you have to do then is tie your pack on, or secure it with. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 4:03:30 AM | Hey Foncho I think I shall wear it today just to honor the memory.
Now D@mn, which bag, did I put the bag in???
Now that it can fit around my waist again without special alterations.....
Maybe I'll even wear it to church tomorrow, you think god would mind,
Afer all I haven't seen lighting in a couple of months:
Now that would be true commitment wouldn't it???
There is a designer sale today, 75% off certain designer names, So regular people like me can afford to buy the stuff.  I will find a Dunnie & Burke or Coache
that my fanny pack could fit inside  I'll show you how committed I am!!! . and hey would you send me the man who like to wear it with full of cash,  We can wear mathing ones    | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 8:13:53 PM | OP if people call you shallow, pls count me one as well. 
I know I'd find it awkward too if the guy couldn't just leave his fave fanny pack at home, knowing we are going to an extremely trendy restaurant.
I must admit I still find it very amusing when I see some ladies from Mainland China going on hiking wearing 4" stiletto. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 9:43:13 PM | Okay, here's a funny one. Met a guy online. Beautiful in his pictures even if slightly balding (okay a bit more than slightly but who cares). We exchanged a few emails, moved to a phone call or two and then of course the first date. I was so excited. I don't make it to many first date (due to the weeding out process). I wanted to look my best. Eyebrows arched, hair combed, deodorant. I went to meet him and he shows up
wearing.... a fanny pack. Now, I'm not as shallow as I'm going to be called but come one. A fanny pack? We went to an extremely trendy restuarant. Me with an embarrassed smile. Him with a pack named Fanny on the front of his belt. I'm not one to beat around the bush so I broached the subject. I asked him whether he had a special permit to carry one of those after 1993. Surely they've been outlawed. He didn't find the humor in my comment or the subsequent comments that I made all night. He then admitted that his bag was a bit beat up and asked would I like to help him find a new fanny pack. Maybe this coming Friday. Make it a second date. He didn't understand that the problem wasn't with this particular bag but Fanny packs worldwide.
I know it seems shallow, superficial, maybe a bit mean but, is it not alright to look for someone who takes the same pride in their appearance. I mean would you date someone with a Captain Hook mustache and Fourth of July pants?
In the end we agreed that we wouldn't be a great match despite the awesome rapport over the phone. He said that he couldn't change who he was. And then hoped I would see the light by asking me how I would feel if he wanted me to remove my "blackness". Somehow the two didn't balance out in my eyes.
Was I too shallow? Has anyone else met up with someone who had some sort of oddity that seemed small but was a total dealbreaker?
that is not good, a fanny back is a deal breaker, if you get yourself a nice smartphone and a good wallet it will eliminate a lot of pocket clutter. did he also wear running tights. a fanny pack is terrible  | |

Posted: 8/9/2009 12:39:06 AM | | Lucky man. He wore it to weed out shallow little snoblets who would judge him harshly because of it and it worked! | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 6:04:21 AM | yes, it may seem a little shallow, but i totally agree, not very appropriate to wear a fanny pack on a first date, to go hiking maybe, but come on not a first date, its just common sense!
We all want to make a good impression on a first date and that in my mind would not be portray a good impression!....i would definitley move on.. | |

Here's a question......just how far could a man go in 'taking pride' in his appearance before you would label him a 'metrosexual' or effeminate?
Off topic yes, but I had to share. This one guy I met IRL, who cancelled our first meet because his eyebrow waxer had recently lost a family member...so we rescheduled, me being understanding of his eyebrow issues (even after the waxing they were quite...prominent). So the time comes that we actually meet. I invite him to a party my friends and I are having at a local pub. He arrives (late!) and orders a fruity martini...while I'm drinking a vodka paralyser from a beer pitcher! He was quite feminine, and being around him sort of made me feel like a manly girl (I'm pretty much a tomboy)...he was most definitely metrosexual at the very least. | |
