Why are you naked?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I don’t know how men prep for their dates, but ladies usually enjoy every single moment of our pre-date rituals. By the time we have decided on our hairstyle, picked out our lip color, and the perfect accessories and shoes, we walk out with a boatload of confidence! We look and smell amazing, thinking “Just wait till he gets a load of ME”.
After ALL that, the last thing a girl wants to hear her date say is, “Um, why are you naked?” My friend Rachel had a second date with Michael this weekend, and this is the gem he dropped on her when she opened the door. She was stunned to say the least!
She doesn’t dress trashy or cheap since I have known her so I asked Rachel to describe what she wore, in GREAT detail: a neutral colored, jersey wrap dress that fell just above her knees, and a fierce pair of heels. Doesn’t exactly scream “street walker”, if you ask me.
Mr. Uber Conservative had apparently planned to see some friends from “church”, and he was very concerned about her attire for the evening. He thought the dress was too snug and her neckline plunged too low. Excuse me, but are men in the habit of telling their dates what they should wear? If this is the new trend, miss me with that one!
Needless to say, they both were unhappy with how the date began, but Rachel decided to go anyway, without any wardrobe change. I doubt I would have gone though!
Ladies, what would you do if your date remarked negatively about your attire? How would you handle it?
Guys, what do you like to see women wear when they are out with you? What do you consider trashy and cheap attire for women? Would you ever ask a woman to change her clothes because her attire was not appropriate for the plans you have?
We all have varying opinions about what to wear on a date, but what do you tend to wear on your for first, second, or third dates?
When you are out and about, are you mindful about what your clothes “say” about your image? Do guys worry about looking like a player? Are women concerned about not wearing the floozy uniform?
