| He brought his Fanny with him...
Posted: 9/7/2009 9:28:14 AM | You know... sometimes I just find this whole idea of noticing objects on a date just weird...
I have two situations that happened and to this day I still smile...
1- I had a date with a very very nice respectable gentleman... Unfortunately, all I noticed was the hair sticking out of his nose...
I swear the whole date turned out like a Seinfield episode...
ALL is saw was the hair. The man was cute, handsome, polite. He did EVERYTHING right... The good night kiss was HELL... I just could not get past it...
I struggled all night thinking if I should tell him. SURELY he can see them when he takes a shower or when he shaves... I could not tell him... NOT in the context of a first date...
2- I had an other date... Since I suggested the place, I insisted I pay. It was not an issue. He had picked me up at my home and he noticed the renovation process I was going through. I was embarrassed, I was renovating my living room and my living room furniture was now in my kitchen... Big job... Anyway...
He noticed a design of custom made furniture I was having made for my living room. My house was built in 1924 and the ceilings are over 10 feet high. Anyway, he saw the amount I was spending for the furniture. He said nothing but he also saw all the quality furniture I have in my home... Anyway....
Off we go to our date and we had a great time... When the bill came, I picked it up and I took out my wallet. My wallet is sooooooo old and used. He says...
"You have no issues paying thousands and thousands of dollars for furniture but you cannot get yourself a decent wallet?"
I was so surprised and I had no words really.
I blushed... I mean... I never thought that a used wallet would be an issue.
So... I still have that wallet and I refuse to let go of it. This wallet has GREAT sentimental value and if I am being judged by a wallet it is best to put that fish in the pond.
Anyway... just musing.  | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 11:16:58 AM | | Yeah, you might have been a bit shallow. And to have mentioned more than once was probably irritating. I have noticed more men are carrying fanny pacs and in particularly men over 55ish. They have "stuff" they need to have on hand just like we do. I have a friend, 58-yrs old, that carries a very handsome deep burgundy leather fanny pac. It is about 8" wide x 6" deep and carries his wallet, meds, some kleenix and of course grandchildren photos. Said he got tired of sitting lopsided on a wallet, having stuffed front poctets, and hated the noise of coins jingling around. However, his comment about your blackness was out of line and doesn't relate to the fanny pac issue. Guess two wrongs sure didn't make a right here huh?! | |

Posted: 9/7/2009 11:47:10 AM | | He was offended and returned the perceived but unintended insult (joke) by lobbing a racist grenade which you coolly dodged. I agree the two are nowhere near equal but you didn't escalate further. The guy can't take a ribbing without taking out the big guns. You dodged a bullet. Well done. Fish on. | |

Oh, it was intended alright ~ passive-aggressive but intended just the same
I prefer to get to know someone before I'm comfortable taking or giving a ribbing | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 6:23:40 AM | Everyone is out to get my Fanny
Everybody wants to see my Fanny
Everybody likes to hold my Fanny
But she loves no one but me
Everybody wants to seize my Fanny
Everybody likes to squeeze my Fanny
They do everything to please my Fanny
Still she loves no one but me
Oh, don't touch my Fanny
Please don't ever try
My little Fanny
Is reserved for just one guy
That's why I never let another love light blind me
Everywhere I go you'll always find me
With my little Fanny right behind me
'Cause she's so in love with me
Everyone who ever spied my Fanny
Tried to hang around beside my Fanny
Maybe I should go and hide my Fanny
Or she'll find somebody new
I've seen lots of fannies in my time
And frequently their cheeks were close to mine
But never have I held one so divine
Like the Fanny that belongs to me
We will be married
Some day next June
And when we go away
To spend our honeymoon
I know that everyone is goin'a miss my Fanny
No one ever could resist my Fanny
But they wouldn't dare to kiss my Fanny
'Cause she's so in love with me

Dear OP,
Sorry you got unwittingly caught in a nasty POF dogpile where each person regardless of the topic, drags refuse from the deepest recesses of his/her psyche and dumps it on your metaphoric head. Generally making tenuous (at best) connections to your post. I am old enough to remember when those hideous things first came out. I never owned one. I honestly didn't know that aside from a few women in their 80's traveling in Las Vegas or Scotland, anyone else still used them. My 74 year old mother has one in the back of her closet which she refuses to throw out but I've never seen her wear it. Nor would I be seen with her wearing it so I can certainly understand your horror of being on a date with a youngish man carrying one. | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 8:04:46 AM | OP, I see your humor in this, and by the look of your profile pics, you take fashion seriously so I would expect you to want a mate that does as well.
I cracked up at the fanny joke. My mom used to wear them when I was younger- total embarassment.
What's up with his "blackness" question though? Totally uncalled for! Can he seriously not part with his fanny pack? I mean, going on a hike, or camping yes- date biiggggg NO. | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 11:25:20 AM | "Sure, I'll remove my fanny, no problem, would you remove your blackness for a few minutes?"
I guess he was annoyed and said something he shouldn't have ~ I'm showing him a little understanding for being the brunt of a joke all night.
We all have different ideas about what's funny. He didn't think her jokes were funny ~ she knew this. Y'all didn't like his comment about her blackness. Guess you had to "be there" | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 11:51:28 AM | | I was at an 80's party a couple weeks ago and part of my "attire" was a fany pack. It was vicious man-- bright red and vinyl. I rocked that thing out to its fullest. I was amazed at how useful and efficient it is. You can fit all kinds of stuff in there with room to spare. It's secure, stored all in one place, and right at your finger tips. I'd consider wearing it again just because. (Though not on a first meet.) | |
