To call things off because of the way he dresses?

I work in a healthcare so wear a uniform, man I've been on a couple of dates on often works in my department and is always in scrubs.

The way he dresses, really gives me the ick. I was so attracted to him before, but now I've seen him outside of work in his own clothes j barely am.

We haven't slept together yet.

Should I just get over this? I don't know how!

What does he wear??

Moonlightstars · 16/12/2024 12:12

We need to know what he wears so that we can either judge him or judge you 😁

Alalalala · 16/12/2024 12:12

What on earth is he wearing?!

vodkaredbullgirl · 16/12/2024 12:13

What exactly does he wear?

CreationNat1on · 16/12/2024 12:14

Dump

revenp · 16/12/2024 12:14

So, I know this won't be an ick for a lot of people here. I think it may be generational, as he is a decade older than me.

Skinny jeans, fluorescent coloured boxers, all white Ted baker trainers. They're the worst parts for me.

Ick ick ick

There's no point taking it further if you're not attracted to him

HPandthelastwish · 16/12/2024 12:15

Well you can end a relationship for any reason but I'm interested in what he wears.

A secret goth? Dresses like a baby? Womens clothes? A furrie? Tracksuit?

jinglejanglejo · 16/12/2024 12:15

If you don't find him attractive dressed then it's a no

Porcuporpoise · 16/12/2024 12:15

So you're not well suited, move on.

AuntyEntropy · 16/12/2024 12:16

If you don't fancy him then don't shag him.

hydriotaphia · 16/12/2024 12:16

If you're not attracted to him then you're not. I can't really imagine being offended by the clothes you describe (not the point I know).

Marblesbackagain · 16/12/2024 12:16

If you really fancied him the clothes wouldn't matter.

Chamomileteaplease · 16/12/2024 12:17

Yeah that sounds bad! Skinny jeans on men are just so bad.

But I don't have a solution! So difficult.

Olika · 16/12/2024 12:18

You are allowed to call it off for whatever reason you want. If his clothes give you ick then just end it.

revenp · 16/12/2024 12:18

Marblesbackagain · 16/12/2024 12:16

Perhaps I'm just shallow?

I was so attracted to him right up until the point I saw how he was dressed in person.

I get you

I really could not be attracted to a man who wore skinny jeans, they are hideous😁

Disturbia81 · 16/12/2024 12:20

Better to meet someone your own age. Don't let an older man steal your years.

Dotto · 16/12/2024 12:20

Are skinny-jeaned men less virulent I wonder?!

Annabella92 · 16/12/2024 12:21

How skinny is skinny jeans?

Slim or basically painted on leggings

How do you know what colour his boxers are?

What is wearing on top

This made me laugh so hard! 🤣

Somewhere in-between that. They skinner than slim, but not skin tight either.

I've seen the boxers poking out.

Yeah any of those things would put me right off too. It’s all part of the overall picture of fancying someone, and if you don’t fancy him
it aint going nowhere. Particularly the skinny jeans part 🤢.

BlueGlassVase · 16/12/2024 12:25

I don’t think you’re shallow. I don’t think it’s really about what he’s wearing it’s about how that might reflect his attitudes and interests and how they might not chime other your own, I’d leave it OP.

FrostyTheSnowHuman · 16/12/2024 12:27

I think ideally you want a partner to have at least broadly similar tastes in music, films, decor etc. There’s a reason you don’t see too many goths going out with people who wear tracksuits 24/7! If you hate his clothing it’s an indicator your tastes aren’t compatible.

Also, perfectly reasonable not to fancy a man in skinny jeans! Few could 😜
