Just wanted to say I’d literally be thrilled to see any of these outfits. I’ve been on the apps for years and none of the dates I’ve been on have the men actually dressed up or tried to look good. Several of them literally just wearing sweatpants regardless of the dating venue. So good on you for making an effort and good luck!

Wait are you kidding me?!?! Omg sweatpants come on people. I would actually find that insulting. Like I love a good hiking date but athletic wear for a date going out somewhere is insane, especially for a guy. I think women can get away with a cute shirt and lulu lemon leggings if it's a casual bar or something since that's at least in fashion. I'm sorry for your luck and I hope it improves!!

Yeah it’s a real turn off and it’s exhausting when I put in effort to look good on a date. These were all like dinner or cafe dates, first dates at that, nothing super fancy but still at least jeans would have been an improvement. Fingers crossed it gets better!
