Well, it looks like most of you think I'm crazy for dressing like I do on a first date. I've had a profile on match dot com, although I haven't used it since this past April. I always wrote in my profile that I'm a casual laid back type of person, and when I'd speak to a girl on the phone I'd always mention that there was no need to dress up for the first date, blue jeans and T shirts were fine with me.
Some of the girls I met dressed the same way I did, and some had on nicer clothes. I was in my best blue jeans, sneakers, and T shirt, so I felt dressed up also. And some Axe spray that a girlfriend got me last year.
When I go to meet a girl, I'm interested in meeting the PERSON, not her clothes. I couldn't give a rat's ass what clothes she has on, and the fewer clothes, the better. GIRLS are the ones who get all hung up on style, and what's "in" and BS like that.
Some men do also.
So I'm thinking I should continue dressing as I do, but MAYBE I'll give in and make a trip to K-Mart. 1 pair of slightly dressy shoes, 1 pair of khakis, and 1 dress shirt. Maybe 2 dress shirts, so that'll be enough to get me through 3 dates, and by then I'll be able to revert to my usual clothes. Hopefully putting on a bullshit front in fancy clothes to impress the women on the first date won't cost me more than $50 or so.
