"Curious to hear people’s opinions on this? In a world where people have less and less time we have found it rather disappointing to have made a big effort to get dressed up for a social and found the other side hasn’t? When you’ve showe_ed, shaved, done your hair and make up and spent time picking out your sexiest outfit and heels and the other side turn up like a sack of potatoes. It’s happening more and more and sometimes it seems to be the people that don’t even work so have all day to get ready. When this happens we just get out as quick as possible. If they don’t care about their appearance then we can imagine they don’t care much about their hygiene either. What do other people think? It’s just a discussion topic but would like to think others out there think the same?" Yes, we discove_ed this on a recent social. Dressed as if he was going to walk the dog or do some gardening. Lol. It killed the prospect of going further stone dead. B/O and dirty joggers tucked into socks are not an image to cultivate the urge to book a room and shag. We were surprised because on his pics he looked quite dapper and well groomed. | |||

It’s just a discussion topic but would like to think others out there think the same?" I’m generally of the opinion that you do what makes you feel best. If I put on killer heels, a full face and tight clothing, I would not feel comfortable, I wouldn’t even feel like me. I’m very upfront about this in messaging, I am more of a casual girl and if my casual appearance isn’t for you then that is totally fine. As far as I’m concerned, basic hygiene is vital but what you wear and how you look means very little to me. Of course I can appreciate someone who’s put a lot of time into their appearance but that isn’t going to want to make me talk to them more. That comes from within. You can’t dress up someone’s vibe, you can’t dress up someone’s spirit or the way they carry themselves or how they treat others. | |||

My local high street has a high % of people who look like they've run through a famous discount brand sports outlet and grabbed whatever has a 90% discount label on it without checking what size it is | |||

"So am I right I'm assuming that prior to the meet ye and said other or others have put in the ground work on here or other forms of chat apps, And if so there was enough of a spark/ click to advance to a meet, and from your description of your getting ready dance, not just a social meet but if all worked out well a play meet, But as soon as ya arrive ye judge said other on what they are wearing and the password to bolt for the door asap is Dropped.. I'd say ye need to get over yourselves, that or don't be in such a hurry to meet in the first place as Clearly ye did a lazy job on sussing the other or others out Reading your thread again there, your doing more Judging than just asking a Question. " I think it's preference, i wouldn't judge someone by their clothes, if oi like a person i like a person,but i do like to see people taking care of themselves,maybe it's because its my industry . | |||

"I think that more people are embracing not feeling like you have to dress to the nines to be on a social - you can make an effort and be perfectly clean and hygienic without rocking up in studded Valentinos and a bodycon mini for a coffee . If people dressing up is important to you and what you get from the experience, you can find a way to bring it up in conversation possibly? " | |||

"I'll never dress to impress and it certainly isn't an interview! I have met for socials happily around my work and met guys straight from their work! I'm not looking to be impressed either ... if they're interesting, funny and we get to flirting then all is good in Fabland, if there is that amazing chemistry then woohoo! Next time would most likely be naked anyway! " Ohh big fan of Your work. | |||

Next time would most likely be naked anyway! " I can't walk in heels and I don't ever wear a dress or skirt. I do have a glorious selection of lingerie but if I'm meeting someone straight from work it's highly unlikely I will be wearing anything too flashy. I will wear subtle makeup and will style my hair, make sure I'm clean and smell nice, but I'm still going to be myself. I don't object to others being dressed to the nines but I'm pretty open that that isn't who I am and isn't something anyone meeting me can expect. | |||

"I really don't care what people wear, I make the effort because it makes me feel better. I've met guys straight from their work or still in their football gear before, and I've met people suited and booted. It doesn't make a difference to how much I enjoy their company.

Certainly would make my excuses and leave if they hadn't. Regards Miss | |||

"Thanks once again for everyones opinion and comments. Just shows that we’re all different and it’s all about preference. In the past we have started conversations on fab with peoples who’s photos show then dressed up and looking very sexy and smart only to find the opposite on meets. We have always dropped the hints about what we like in the conversations so that’s why it can be annoying. It’s not about judging the persons personality or anything else but more to do with the kind of people we would like to play with personally. That’s what we are trying to say." My pics show me in my underwear or nice dress but that doesn’t mean I meet wearing them items. I usually of a day am in jeans and converse and never heels | |||

"I find it a bit odd that a lot of people seem to be getting disappointed by their own expectations. Aren’t you talking about it beforehand? I find the discussion, and requests to wear certain things really fun and a good turn on. Equally though if I’m meeting someone for an impromptu cuppa and I’m in my scruffs (atm that’s jeans and a jumper!) then I’ll say so. Just seems the logical thing to do" I think you have hit the nail on the head. | |||

"I don't own a suit. At the best, I do "smart casual", whatever that means, but my idea of smart casual could differ to someone else's. I have to be smart casual for work, so if my (lack of) dress sense is good enough for meeting clients, then it's good enough for other meetings, too But, I feel more comfortable in cargo trousers or jeans, tee shirts and trainers. Smart casual is all good as long as its fresh and clean. Cant stand a man in a suit. Always come across as a shiny arsed rep." Always fresh, clean and ironed, and my clothes are, too | |||

You have date, so yes if I was going on a date then my expectations may be higher than if I'm meeting someone for a fab social. | |||

"Curious to hear people’s opinions on this? In a world where people have less and less time we have found it rather disappointing to have made a big effort to get dressed up for a social and found the other side hasn’t? When you’ve showe_ed, shaved, done your hair and make up and spent time picking out your sexiest outfit and heels and the other side turn up like a sack of potatoes. It’s happening more and more and sometimes it seems to be the people that don’t even work so have all day to get ready. When this happens we just get out as quick as possible. If they don’t care about their appearance then we can imagine they don’t care much about their hygiene either. What do other people think? It’s just a discussion topic but would like to think others out there think the same?" . If someone makes an effort then that's surely right if it's an evening meet. Day time coffee is smart casual but I think it's all part of it getting ready. If someone doesn't make the effort I would instantly be pissed and switch off | |||
