"How did he react when you told him, Hulahoney?"
he said at least he wore clothes! he likes to hang a nude beach with hat reads" naked tour guide"
(my son advised me, "mom, don't go there with him!")
oh! his reaction,...the date man replied ,he was riding his motor cycle and did not want to be cold!

ok. my first date was obviously proud of her recent surgery, because she showed up wearing a tight t shirt that said, Yes, they're real (expensive), it went downhill from there. Yes i did find out she lived in a trailer.

better watch out...2 women on here will rip you apart for complaining about what a man wears..they and some others seem to think its ok for a man to dress however he wants to take you out on a date and you should be appreciative...for the "free meal"...I wrote on the same thing and I could not believe what some people were saying!! we went to a very classy restuarant and he wore wrinkled pants and tennis shoes and you would think I was the biggest beach from hell for saying something to him. I stand by my decision and I think you and him should discuss dress beforehand...and he should dress appropriatly...MYSTA! p.s. I totally understand your embarrassment..cuz I was there!! and I was dressed very nice bought a new outfit just for the occaision...and again was ripped apart on here for what I wore! Mysta

I've shown up wearing sweats and flip flops for a first date before, because we were going to take a pottery class. It was a lot of fun!

I actually wear sweats all the time to school, mainly because they're warm in the winter, and I usually go to the gym after class before heading home.

There is no way, I would go out on a first date, much less going out, to a nice resturant, wearing anything other than, at least some nice slacks, and a nice blouse. What was the woman thinking. Two, who really cares where the woman lives, as long as she is a descent person ( on the inside ).

I had a third date with someone from this site...I drove 90 miles and he was in his pj's and slippers. I can understand wanting to hang out at home...he could have at least got dressed. I agree it shows a lack of interest in the date and in life in general.

unless the location of the date allows super casual clothing (ie going to an amusement park or on a picnic), it's nice to see a guy dressed appropriately.

my first date with this person showed up wearing shorts.

He considers jeans dressing up, and wears sweats every other time. He even changed out of his jeans after we got back wednesday night into his sweats to "be more comfortable". I am just a neater dresser than that and think that sweats belong in the gym or doing yard work.

I am trying to not let this bother me too much as this is minor detail compared to how much he cares about me, and how much I care about him!

I know one thing though, I wont be dressing too "smart" anytime soon just so I wont be out of balance. I look overdressed next to him in my jeans and sweater sometimes.

the thought of wearing sweats on a date has never crossed my mind. I'm glad I saw this post. I have problems with my left side pant leg in regular trousers because of my prosthetic leg. I have a "sleeve" that I roll up that helps seal the suction and keep the leg on. When I wear nice pants, I have to bunch up the leg to get the sleeve rolled up and then the pants are wrinkled something awful. I'm not sure which is worse, wearing wrinkled pants that make me look like I don't care or wearing some more casual pants that aren't dressy and looking a bit more out of place.

The other thing I (and probably other amputees) deal with is changing shoes. Most of the time I wear tennis shoes. I hate it! When I put on dress shoes it can sometimes throw the alignment of my leg off. Tennis shoes just don't cut it when going somewhere nice, but I'd rather be able to walk than stumble or have a screwed up gait because I'm wearing certain dress shoes. Without going into detail, the heel height can make a big difference.

Sweats wouldn't fly with me. Jeans are casual, I can handle that. Sweats are for the gym or lazy days at home.

I rarely leave my place wearing less than black dress pants. Because I meet a lot of people and my city is not that big only about 80k people. I never know who I am going to bump into and I like to leave a good personal impression. I think looking clean and professionaly casual can be a bonus in a chance meeting and leave a good first impression. At home yes I wear sweats and am very casual, if someone is comming over, I change into something more appropriate. It is just out of respect and shows that I have some dignity and integrity.

I would have been TOTALLY embarassed, and probably would have asked him to go home and change. It shows a lack of respect for you. I always dress to impress my date, and would never think of wearing sweats out on a date. To me that is disrespectful to you. When you told him your feelings , What did he say? That his laundry machine is busted? Or he doesn't know how to work it? You did the right thing, No doubt about it. Maybe he thought you were so taken with him it would not matter what he wore.

I had a first date show up with a yellow stained t-shirt and smelt bad!! I was so upset that I didn't know what to do. Needless to say it was a quick date and I've been busy ever since. My thoughts are if they can't put forth the effort to dress nicely than "they just aren't that into me" Take care everyone and remember you never get a second chance to make a first impression!

I don't care how good looking you are, you show up for a date with me wearing sweats, you're out. There will be no 3rd date.

I take care in what I wear and try to pesent myself well, and I expect the same of my date.

It also shows a bit of a lack of respect that your date wasn't dressed to impress.

at the end of evening i requested "sharp dressed man" by zztop be played and told him my feelings. if a man shows up in sweats on a 2nd date, it indicates a lack of interest in me. now i am just wondering if i did the right thing?


Yes you did the right thing. You have a standard you want met and you let it be known. If doesn't agree then you both move on. Better to be up front instead of playing games and being passive-aggressive about the situation.
