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

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?!
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.) | |

Posted: 2/24/2010 8:23:49 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...
I dated a girl I'm college. Pretty, nice. Same thing OMG nose hair!!! Every time I went in for a kiss, it's like a spider was going to get me!!!! So it only lasted a month or so. Then again, I broke up with a girl because her laugh was sooooo annoying. She couldn't giggle "tee tee" it was just a full on guffaw!!
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.
maybe you could have explained it's sentemental significance to you... | |

I would be fine with the fanny pack IF we were meeting to go on a hike, amusement park or. . .
On a date to "an extremely trendy restaurant"? No way.
Some people have no realistic perception of the world around them, of how others view them. . .

And perhaps those who belive they realistically perceive that world might be just as clueless too! Interesting how that works huh??
OP I know this thread is months upon months old and in a way I can identify with your concern or disdain for this poor guys fashion sense especially since you do seem quite the Fashionista. While his snarky comeback to you was a bit uncalled for I'm sure he thought it was right in keeping with the tone you'd set already.
I also get your humor and while it was not mean spirited word wise the intent was probably easily discerned which finally bubbled over enough for his curt reply. Maybe change your profile to say you hope for or expect someone more "fashion forward" and give some examples. Might get you nothing but Metrosexuals but at least no more fanny packs! | |

Posted: 4/14/2010 9:37:29 AM | | What happened with the guy you had a great date with in the cemetary? As far as the fanny pack goes... it is outdated. I didn't know you could find them anymore. But, I would still date the guy. That would not be a deal breaker. | |

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.
well damn girl...I think that's the cutest thing...
I'd love your sense of humor if you came at me for wearing a fanny pack. I sure would have played it nicely and would have easily found something about you to zing you on.
Deal you should be more concerned about than his wearing a fanny pack is that he did not find you to have a sense of humor.
Which means HE did not have a sense of humor.
Kinda reminds me of Shallow Hal when Paltrow asks Costanza "Is that a Member's Only Jacket?"
Costanza replies..."WHy yes it is!"
"So what? are you like the Last member?"
I thought your humor was cool... | |

Posted: 4/29/2010 3:18:09 PM | I made fun of a guy with a fanny pack at a bar a while back. Said something to the effect of, "Macho man called and wants his purse back." However in response, he opened up the front flap just enough so i could the hammer of his .45.
Whouldda thunk fanny packs would become the latest in weapon concealment apparel?
Needless to say, I won't talk smack to fannypack wearers anymore; I'd much rather be gunned down by someone in a "Frankie says RELAX" shirt.  | |

Posted: 4/29/2010 6:01:05 PM | LOL at gun concealment.
But, I agree with the OP. I could not go out with a guy carrying a fanny pack. Better to carry a briefcase or a small shopping bag or ANYTHING!
Where does one even buy one of those these days? | |

Posted: 4/29/2010 7:38:26 PM | | I agree that it's really goofy to wear a fanny pack. But if he opened it and you saw it was stuffed with $100 bills, I bet you would be saying: "What a great fashion statement. Let's go shopping and see if we can find a bigger, better one for you." | |

What the hell is a fanny pack, can some give me the Readers digest version?
A zippered bag that straps to your waist.
Sort of like a man purse ... lol

Shallowness abounds.
Fanny pack: OUT
Red Sneakers: OUT
Forget about personality, humor, affection.
If they're wearing the wrong sneakers F*CK 'em.
~can't catch my breath, lmao~
Embarrased is embarrased, doesn't really matter by what; it's a personal thing; is it major or minor and can you deal with it. Just that fact that this guy felt that his fanny pack was a part of who he was would have been enough to sent me running. | |
