Posted: 10/8/2007 8:45:21 AM | when i had 'that first date' with The Gentleman i'm dating currently, it was to meet at the Pizza place near my work(great! *gasp* i'll be rushed!) he was wearing a large White TShirt with a design on it (i was too busy looking at him. watching where i was walking so i wouldn't trip & fall),and his long gray shorts and white athletic shoes... Yum...i got to see his legs arms, and it's a wonder i ate my pizza and salad without dropping/spilling anything on myself.... (he could have been wearing a gunny-sack for all i care, i had talked with this man before, we never arranged a first-meet, it just faded, no biggie..then he called & we Both wanted to meet... ) *but a CLEAN gunny-sack would be preferred!) | |

Only outdated if you spend your time driving around in a car or sitting in front of the TV.
If you get your butt in gear and bike a lot Spandex is a must.

Posted: 10/12/2007 5:46:35 AM | OMG, I feel so sorry for the guys. All these personal opinions and they are more confused perhaps than when this started.
If one fellow tried to follow every suggestion he'd have one heck of a divers wardrobe and I'm sure that he be uncomfortable a great many times.
I will try to generalate it for you.
Definitely: clean, neat and tidy, make it look like you put some thought into it for the person you are meeting. Be yourself, don't wear a "costume" you would be uncomfortable in. Don't forget the personal hygene/
NOTS: baggy pants, scruffy shoes, body odor, do NOT overdress, above all wear something you are comfortable in and that represents you.
BETTER: Bring your closet over and I'll dress you! NOW isn't that the fun way to dress! | |

Posted: 10/13/2007 7:28:27 AM | For me, when a man takes me out on a date I'd wish for him to dress for whatever occasion we planned for. If it a casual dinner, then jeans and nice shirt is fine. A wedding or more formal event, then I'd hope he'd try to be dressed up in a casual suit or sports coat. In the summer, it's no big deal if he wears shorts and a tee.
My biggest complaints are.....muscle shirts, shirts with weird writing, white socks and dark pants, socks with sandals, ripped or stained clothing, dirty shoes, high top sneakers, out dated styles like skin tight jeans that looks like they have to peel them off.
I am kind of picky and I know that. I like a man who dresses with the current fashion for his age. Khakis never go out of style, they are classic. Polo shirts are also classic and will be around forever. But....I like the relaxed fit jean style, updated shirts and sweaters. A man who dresses like he did in the 70's & 80's is a real turn off for me. I have met all different kinds of men and I like the more classic, fashionable look. My daughters are even picky like me. Most women I know my age like a man who at least tries to dress to look good to meet you or to take you out. Suits are over rated accept for formal wear. A man in jeans and sport coat is a looker for me.
I met a rather handsome man and he dressed okay, but he had extreme potential to even look better. One night I told him if at anytime he wanted to update his look that I would help him. So...one day he said, "take me out and lets get my hair cut right and buy some clothes that are what you like to see me in." Well I jumped on that one! He looked great after we were done and in time he started to go out and would only buy certain clothing he knew he looked good in and that appealed to me. The only thing is, it backfired on me. Through time, he lost some weight and became even more picky about his look. I helped him and he looked so yummy! Then....other women started to see him differently...women who never gave him a second look before. They'd say how great he looked and how they liked his new look. After 4 years of being together and getting engaged, he was cheating on me with these women who thought he was not their type before I helped him "dress himself up." He sure looked good as I kicked his sorry ass going out my door and put all those new fashionable clothes on the porch for him to get out of my house. | |

Posted: 10/13/2007 8:07:30 PM | Oh, this will be fun!
It's easier to say what not to do. Don't tuck sweaters into your waistband. Don't wear a waistband too high on your torso (unflattering for both men and women). Go easy on cologne or wear none at all - you're extinguishing your natural pheronomes.
Personal turn-offs for me are pointy shoes, high heels and cowboy boots. Excessive gold jewellry. From my past experience they spell danger. I associate a jaw muscle that pulses with these.
For some reason, shoes stand out. I worked in nightclubs for many years in my youth. The waitresses could always spot a narc by their shoes. They often wore highly polished leather with white socks.
High class sandals or casuals appeal to me (this is all so personal!) I like blue jeans or cargo pants (in a current style). Black turtle necks or pullovers. | |

Posted: 10/13/2007 8:34:38 PM | | A PS added after reading some of the posts. So many women don't like socks with sandals. I don't mind them at all. It's a European look. There's a lot of ethnic diversity in Canada and it's not uncommon to see socks with sandals or Berkenstockers. I do it myself. | |

Posted: 10/13/2007 8:42:57 PM | wear what you feel makes you feel good! comfortable and/or sexy, and steer away from women that are picky (or men) about what you wear, for if they are the type to deny themselves the freedom to feel comforatble, they will surely try and do the same to/for you!  
oh yea, sandals without socks can be disgusting, especially after walking about on filthy oil ridden parking lots etc... | |

Posted: 10/13/2007 9:51:33 PM | ....I have to say it again, jeans and a white shirt do for me every time.... if you care to complete the ensemble with a sports jacket and I'll be taking you out for dinner and drinks. Add a splash of Nautica or Velocity and I'll be taking those same clothes off later in the evening haha.

This just makes me laugh. Just goes to show what women like you, and the ones he screwed around with are after.
My suggestion: try to find a MAN , not a COAT HANGER. | |

Posted: 10/14/2007 11:08:10 AM | Any jeans are fine with me, if they are clean and fit nicely, brand doesn't matter much.
Boxers or Briefs? - depends on the man. I have been with men who looked good in boxers, and others who chose briefs. My thing is, no WHITEY TIGHTIES! Not a good turn on, at least to me! Some men choose the in-between look, with the longer briefs. Those can be nice, but over 45, no thongs please!! | |

In another site we had the boxer and briefs discussion and Hugos and Commandos came up. I didn't know what Commandos meant!!!!! now if someone had said Birthday suit or in the buff I would have known!! | |
