First Dates: Clothes and Conversations
One of my guy friends had a first date with a young lady last weekend. He met her at a religious function so he was a bit taken aback at how she was when they went out. Apparently, she was dressed provocatively, something he thought inappropriate for someone her age (ouch?), especially on a first date.
He went on describe the way she used profanity, made several sexual remarks, and pretty much made him blush. Admittedly, my friend is super conservative and in my opinion high strung. However, the fact that he expected someone he met at a religious function to behave in a certain way, isn’t completely unreasonable. At the same time, are first date impressions reliable?
I do have to wonder, though, if we often meet people and have some preconceived ideas of how they should act or behave. Was the young lady projecting one image, yet behaved in a way that contradicted that? Perhaps, she was. However, should she get ruled out by the first date clothes and conversation?
Do you think we should judge a book by its cover and the first few pages of the book? If you were bothered the way someone behaved on the first date, do you grant a second one?
Do you ever think about the way dress on a first date? Are you careful about what you discuss or talk about?

But that’s my experience with thongs. Those bad boys keep a sister on “ready” all the time. Wet all day can’t be healthy for the kitty. Just saying.

Never had the suffocation issue, but I’ve had the “I pulled everything up too fast, and shorted myself on the front to back ratio” mistake, which is not terrible….until you sit down.

ITL…that too Fine. Take suffocation out and apply all of what I said you said and Leggs said. Thongs are NOT comfortable.

On the subject of boxers & jorts, that reminds me of a story from college. So, I bought a few pairs of ratty jeans from a 2nd hand store (well, the hipsters call it “vintage” — but it’s f#cking 2nd hand) downtown with holes all in them. One of the pairs had a rather large hole in the crotch-al region, but since I work baggy boxers, too, it didn’t really reveal anything. Except that I also had one pair of boxers with a giant hole in the ol’ crotch-al region. I just had to make sure I didn’t wear both those jeans and those boxers at the same time.
So, one day, I’m waiting on the but & it was running especially late this particular day, so I sat down on the sidewalk & waited. After about 5 minutes I looked down & noticed that I had forgotten & worn both the holey jeans & holey boxers, and my junk was in plain view.
I looked up & there were about 5 chicks standing around me who all turned their heads away quickly as I looked around.

Were you embarrassed, Swiss, or were you like, “how you doing?” in your best Joey Tribiani voice…

Jake, I have a Mrs. Santa thong bra outfit that is out of this world. You talking about Sexy. It’s still in its wrapper. Perhaps I’ll get a chance to wear it this Christmas (LOLOLOLOL).

Well, maybe for some… but I ended up pulling a number from one of the chicks later on the bus ride…

That is hysterical, swiss, you turned that around. Too funny. You found a woman who wanted to play ball at the bus stop.
