Purepony Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 How can I tell someone I’m seeing that I don’t like the way they dress ? This girl dresses odd. I usually date very feminine dressing girls and this one dresses bohemian or whatever you call it and it’s a turn of for me. Last time I saw her she was wearing purple pants ?! Who the hell wears purple pants !!! I just think she needs better clothes, she’s attractive and has nice features that go with all colors but her taste in clothes sucks !
Insoc Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Maybe she is a Prince fan? Dunno, you cannot often tell someone how to dress, but you can buy them new clothes to get them to change. Might want to try it. I haven't seen Purple pants in a long time, but what goes around comes around, trends change. 3
central Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 You don't say anything. You accept her as she is, or move on. Eventually, if you have a relationship, you may earn the right to express an opinion, and may earn the respect to have it heard. Obviously, you don't think she's good enough for you as is, so you shouldn't date her. I wonder: is the problem with her? Or, with you? 9
Insoc Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 I think you need to post a picture of how these purple pants look? MC Hammer style Genie Pants or skin tight down to the ankles, just curious, because skin tight on a good figure, I could care less what color they were, green, yellow or purple lol. 1
SunnyWeather Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 given what appears to be her eccentric nature, perhaps artistic, it sounds like she's in a different scene that you prob wouldn't vibe with. why try and changer her to fit your mainstream expectations? 6
Art_Critic Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 yeah but Purple looks great all balled up on the floor of your house.. doesn't it ? 1
guest569 Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 I wear purple pants. What’s so wrong with it? 3
chillii Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Cool , my gf wears purple pants and man they look gorgeous on her, lovem. 3
Insoc Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 yeah but Purple looks great all balled up on the floor of your house.. doesn't it ? If they are as tight as I can imagine, they would stand up on their own.
Gretchen12 Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Do you boys even know if it's ultra violet?
frankspeci Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 This sounds like a Seinfeld episode lol. I would suggest getting used to it. If she has a style and she dresses appropriately for whatever setting shes in then theres nothing that should be done. You have to accept her. If there are outfits you like to see her in you could let her know. But I would never tell anyone to stop wearing anything unless its universally bad and they're just not aware and you're doing them favor by letting them know. 1
Author Purepony Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 They’re not tight workout spandex pants like everyone’s thinking. They are cat lady type of pants and I have a great time with her but her style just gets to me She also wears boots like cowboy boots This isn’t Texas !! Thank you all some great and hilarious answers. You all rock but I still wanna tell her to change her outfits.
basil67 Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Sorry mate, it’s not cool to try and change somebody, If you don’t like how she dresses, then move on. 4
Wallysbears Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Please come back and tell us how that conversation goes. Because it likely will not go well. Do you want the “we told you so” now or later? 3
Mrs._December Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 So, before you started her, she was wearing club clothes all the time, and/or youthful girly clothes? I mean, you obviously had an interest in her and started dating her so you were already very aware of how she dresses. Why is this suddenly a problem NOW when it's likely been the way she'd dressef from t he second you met her?
Wallysbears Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Last week you posted about 3 women you were dating...none of which you were especially into. And now you want to tell one to dress differently? Seriously dude...just move on. These are people, not pet projects. 8
smackie9 Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 That is not how you keep a GF! If her style turns you off, she's not the one for you. We all know clothing style is a form of personal expression, and those ugly purple pants are how she enjoys expressing herself. She likes them, she takes great pleasure in wearing them. If you go on about how she should dress differently is a stab at her, her self expression and what makes her happy. She will feel insulted by your request. 1
losangelena Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 What are “cat lady” pants? Are you trying to say they’re frumpy? Baggy? Ill-fitting? Please, you have a vocabulary, use it. 3

Thank you all some great and hilarious answers. You all rock but I still wanna tell her to change her outfits. You mean like the 90's thrift store look lots of people have been wearing, right? Well at least in urban areas. Yeah not sexy. But yeah you can't tell her that directly. Or not even indirectly. If it's one or two offensive items, i can help you think of a way around it but if you don't like her "style" overall, date someone else 1
Giraffe-A Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Short or you buying her a whole new wardrobe, You let her go so she can find someone who appreciates her purple pants. 2
Author Purepony Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 Here’s an update so we go out last night and had a great time. She was dressed really nice she had like a really neat coat and I asked her about it and she said “ my students got it for me as a gift “ I just laughed becauee I knew it was something she wouldn’t normally wear.
Author Purepony Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 Short or you buying her a whole new wardrobe, You let her go so she can find someone who appreciates her purple pants. It seems like that’s the solution to everything. Just let them go and start something new Good advice “My bf doesn’t call” Leave him “My gf doesn’t text me” Leave her Lol “My cat doesn’t eat” Leave him
preraph Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Wow, how controlling are you? If you don't like that the girl is bohemian, don't date her. Why should she tone it down for a man? She is expressing herself in her clothing, so if you don't like it, you don't like her. It's kind of different than with men and how they dress because their range of "acceptable" is all pretty much the same and not much self-expression so it doesn't always mean anything other than disingenuousness. But women tell you who they are with their clothes. 3

This has nothing with control or being controlling. I’m usually always wearing a suit and I don’ expect her to match but when I’m wearing a suit and she’s wearing purple pants it really doesn’t mesh. Maybe in your world it does but I was given lemons so I tried making lemonade so if it doesn’t work out I guess I’ll just go to the next

You always wear a suit and she doesn’t fit your perfect mold. I can’t roll my eyes hard enough at this 4
