First impressions .

Exactly folks.

I don’t get it. Why would someone not want to take extra time getting themselves together prior to meeting?

Makes zero sense.

Well it is Phoenix after all. If we got a nickel for every time we heard that we'd be rich LOL. Just because you live in a place with a relaxed dress code doesn't mean you can't dress to impress. For us it starts with the physical attraction and we dig deeper from there. Alas....we are willing to admit it's difficult to dig deeper into the person when you show up at an upscale meet and greet in a t-shirt, tennis shoes and the inevitable baseball cap on backwards. If you were going to your kids baseball game or a neighborhood BBQ we'd understand. But for us, and only us, we prefer that initial impression be a bit more tailored to an evening on the town versus said BBQ with the neighbors.

You only get one chance to make a first impression, if it’s a bad one...it will be a very short interlude.

first impressions matter to me. if i'm not attracted to your appearance or at least your personality it ain't happening

Hysterical BT.

Maybe they're taking the No Expectations-No Disappointment thing a little too seriously? As in...If, over time, I'm not having any success, why would I bother showering, shaving, pressing a shirt, or trimming my knuckle hair, if it's proven to be for naught in the past?

Or...it could be the whole, I'm going to a "Free Sex" event; So, since everyone's gonna be fucking, why would I need to do any personal prep?

Or...perhaps in the past he/she/they have seen success without having to brush or floss after their shrimp scampi. So, why put in the effort?

Dunno for sure, but its kinda fun coming up with potential answers.

Great evening last night. Local place put on BDSM suspension and other activities. For me— I found it a great and at home feeling. Perhaps over 200+ people including single men.

Perhaps it’s just me but do first impressions matter to you all? I’m not saying you have to dress to the 9’s, however does it hurt to iron a shirt? Bathe and shave..or perhaps even brush and floss?

One would think if folks wanted to meet others—why not present yourself adequately?

I am puzzled.
