Cap on a first date?

[pinenuts75]

Don’t know if it’s me or not, I went on a first date today only a coffee, and he wore a baseball cap the entire time, would this put you off? I thought he might have took it off.

Did you sit outside?

You are a bit strange to be bothered by that.

If he didn't take it off inside then he is either ignorant and has no manners or is going bald and has a complex about it or something else.

It would definitely put me off.

Oh, haha. I thought this was going to be about contraceptive, should you be prepared. Depending on age,my oldest DS went bald at 20, he was so self conscious,he always wore a hat of some sort, usually a proper tweed flat cap. I know 2 people very well, not saying too much,a woman 60 bloke 75,who both wear baseball caps all the time, regardless of the occasion it outfit and I want to knock them off! So unless you're both 16, yes it would.

That would put me off

😂 he’s 52

I bet he was hiding his bald patch.

No

Why?

I wouldn't date a man who wore a baseball cap on a date. I want a proper grown up man, not a teenage boy!

Caps are chavvy.

As you were inside I'd be a bit put off by that, especially at his age

I know someone whose husband wears one ALL the time inside and out. Posh restaurants, hotels, friends houses - everywhere. I always feel sorry for her, she must be so embarrassed. He’s semi-well known and I assume he’s hiding his baldness as still wants to ‘be down with the kids.’

Another vote for probably covering up hair loss. I see so many men in the gym exercising with a cap or beanie hat on presumably for the same reason because their heads must be roasting with it on.

Thing is the date went really well, he was polite and we have a lot in common, if I see him again I might ask him if he always wears it 😂

I’d give him a date two if that’s the only issue!

Strange behaviour, I always think it’s bad manners wearing a hat indoors.
But I suspect it’s covering up a bald patch or something that he’s insecure about.

😭😭😭 i was gonna say, ive seen late 20s guys look hot in a baseball cap

52! Chuck him back! xx

Was he wearing it back to front?

Aka Brookyln Beckham?

This is a weird and very angry assumption to make. No wonder half of mumsnet is angry and single

imagine the outrage if a man told a woman how to dress

I used to think years ago that this would be rude but I've lived long enough to see that every casual encounter where you're somewhere having a coffee or a burger, going for a walk, sitting around together, that unless the date has come straight from work and is in more formal clothing ,that it's perfectly acceptable.
Wearing a comfortable and favourite cap is as much a part of a person's personality and usual dress sense as wearing a pair of jeans is in most situations.

Men shouldn’t wear hats indoors. But even outdoors I would have liked him to take it off on a first date.

Bald patch no doubt. Or full time bald.
Would probably put me off. I like men who carry it with pride and I quite fancy Statham

No 🤣
