When i was younger I dated this guy for a while. About the 2nd date he was wearing a God awful green, it think polyester, outfit from the 70's. I had to bit my tounge. I bought him a nice shirt and pants, wrapped up all nice but never said a word. He got the message.
I was a lot nicer when I was younger. Today Id probably say what my mother use to say to me "my God your not going out dressed like that are you" or something like hey, the brothel called, they want their outfit back.
Somewhat expected results: 75% of women consider it inappropriate to "tell a woman how to dress" on the first few dates, and men are twice as likely to think it depends on what is said and how than to think it is inappropriate regardless.
That's assuming this board is representative of people in general, of course. Probably not something we should do. Still, it's interesting. I wonder if there's anything more to the fact that men are considerably more tolerant of this "social blunder", than just the fact that it's a man doing the "telling" in this scenario...
On the first few dates I would never tell a girl to wear anything. I would maybe once in a blue moon ask her too wear something special for me, like once or twice a year, though I'd also go out my way to make her know that I appreciate the gesture and never press the issue.
I wouldn't personally mind wearing something a gf would ask me to wear so long as it wasn't too often.
I tend to expect any grown person to chaffe at being told what to do. But then suggesting something you would enjoy seeing your partner wear
is harmless in my opinion, as a suggestion is a proposal that can be either granted
or declined without incident.
I have to be very direct with this one. I'm not fond of the women I date to dress "racy" if you will. I'd have to make mention of it during the planning and getting to know each other stage. There is no other way to dress on a date but as a lady and gentleman, no, that does not mean "dressing up" but it does mean having a sense of class and dignity.
I will not sugar coat this one.
And Im usually attracted to women who are already dressed in styles that appeal to me.

Exactly, though I don't mind someone suggesting things for me to wear oddly enough. Then again, I like to try new things.
