Apparently there is an exception to the rule. Glad thats not a thing for men, or I'd be falling flat on my face regularly.

They were warm.

I also remember the bell-bottom jeans as looking slightly different than the ones Dixie is wearing. They were like these.

Yes, thats the type I was referring to.

Don't remember corduroys being any warmer than jeans, but it's been a while. Seems like they were better for static shocks though...

Should have held on to my purple crushed velvet bell bottoms.

And that was BEFORE I started doing drugs.

Yes, there is a young lady at work that wears jeans like these and she fills them out very nicely if ya know what I mean. Talked to her a time or two and she parks in the same area that I do so, I get to enjoy the view for a while when walking to our cars after work.

Who here will admit to owning a 'Leisure Suit'?

I had one...but I think I only wore it once...to a wedding.

I remember my Dad had some leisure suits. I borrowed a blue plaid one that he had and dressed up as a nerd on Halloween once. Lol.

Mine was black with silver paisley pattern. It paired nicely with my sunburst Fender bass.

Reviving this thread due to a couple of dumpster fire dates that I've had recently.
One of which lasted no more than 15 minutes. We sat down for coffee and started chatting. She hits me with "you should shave your beard off it makes you look so old".

Buh bye

The second one lasted through the entire date but she kept checking her phone and looking around the cafe' as though planning an emergency exit. I had to pry any conversation out of her.

Man, it shouldn't be this hard. I get along better with my 19 year old ambulance partner.

Keep looking. There's a 10% chance you will 'like' anyone you meet. There's a 10" chance they will like you.

That's 1% that you like each other...

I apologize you were treated so poorly. Being on the phone while in someone's company is inexcusably rude. First date or thirty years married, pull your phone out while spending time with me and you'll hear the gates of hell begin to open.

Okay, first date I'm simply walking, but there will never be a second date.

Older men with beards need to be sure that they are fashionable (Like Vincent Price or whomever) and don't just look like drunken David Letterman or Mel Gibson beards that make them look homeless....
