Yea.. Just what is it with some of these men.
I once had a conversation with a man in his 60s (a relative). Well, it was him talking at me, more like. He was ranting how women (in general) let themselves go nowadays, how they are fat, dress 'like lesbians' (whatever), don't even wear makeup anymore - so unkempt looking, wear those 'horrible chunky shoes', etc. He sat there, a man in his 60s, bald, fat himself, dressed in nondescript 'dad from the 80s' jeans and washed out T, bad teeth. I couldn't listen anymore, so I blurted: jesus christ, have you actually SEEN YOURSELF in the mirror in the past 20 years????!
Another one, same age. Also a relative (I have awesome relatives..). Filthy rich, just widowed, dating again, looking for a partner. Who needs to be: YOUNG (up to 35), no kids, slim, beautiful, 'take care of herself' (heels, bodycons, that sort of thing). He's very wealthy, so sadly doesn't lack women matching his description and even younger. Yet they're no good, because he ALSO with all the above, wants a wealthy woman. I asked him, why would a young, beautiful, childless, rich woman date a bald, overweight, 60 year old? No reply.
I don't date now, but used to. I ALWAYS stick to my look, no matter what. I do wear lots of dresses and like to show my figure. Regardless of dating, that's just me, I always dress like that. I'm also to the alternative side, chunky boots, skull jewellery, tattoos, that sort of thing. It's just 'me'. And don't do false-anything, don't dye or 'do' my hair, don't ever wear makeup, not for any occasion. I'm good looking enough (echem), tall, slim, busty, long legged, so get plenty of attention. Fair share of it is from dickheads with 'you'd be a smashing knockout if you'd dress normal and ditch all the emo getup'. Yea, nah, fuck you very much.
Although I gotta admit. Once went on a date with a guy. Nice guy, polite, friendly, kind, no weird bullshit, no sly digs. Got along fine. But he came wearing a loud, red, screaming, shiny polyester basketball jersey, similar to ones those noughties American rappers used to wear in their videos. I don't even remember his trousers, some dark jeans I think. No, he wasn't a rapper, didn't play and didn't come from a training session - that I would have overlooked. And no, we weren't in our teens. I didn't say anything and didn't criticize his look, but the date didn't go nowhere and I was slightly embarrassed to be seen with him..
