Girlfriend furious over the hat i wore to our date?!?

Question

i went on a date last weekend and was real hot so had to wear a hat, so i took my bucket (fishermans) hat with me, i honestly dont think they're that bad but my gf insisted that we need to go shopping bigtime!. She says i may look like eye candy but my fashion sense is terrible! She even goes that if i ever wear a bucket hat again she will make me wear her pink bball cap next time even if it makes me look g*y! (yeah right like i will wear a pink cap!)

I will admit my fashion sense is poor but....

i mean a bucket hat that bad cmon?!?!

do MOST girls share this feeling?

Answer 1

I'm afraid it's true. I have poor fashion sense too. I appointed some friends to keep my style up to date once in a while. Whenever I wear something they dont like, they just say it and would argue that I don't do it again (even if I personally like it). Imagine a girlfriend. hahaha. Sucks on your case.

Oh btw: you WILL be wearing that pink cap. Girls are powerful like that...well, hopefully you'll resist. And no, a bucket hat ain't that bad. I think it's kinda cool.

PS: Wanna know get back at her? Guilt it. -->"I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND. NOT YOUR BARBIE/KEN DOLL. Are you that ashamed of being seen in public together because of what I wear?" Jussttt giving you a weapon of words, just in case. haha.

Cheers!

Answer 2

Personally, if she didn't ask you to thnik more sensibly what you wear, and offer you fashion tips, she's not worth the bother. It seems like she's more interested in how you look 'hey girls, i have the best boyfriend!'.

I persoanlly love guys who dress with the gothic fashion. However, my partner generally wears sweatshirts and jeans all the time. This really doesn't bother me, as I'm crazy about him for who he is, not what he flipping wears lol :p

Ask her why it matters so much to her. If she can't answer, I'd think about dating her.

Answer 3

If a poor sense of fashion is the worst flaw a boyfriend of mine could have - I would be quite happy to let him wear what the h**l he wants. I don't know - maybe she's a bit immature.

but there are worse things a person can do on a date - and dictating to someone what they can and can't do and what they should and shouldn't wear is not exactly an attractive quality either. Your girlfriend could use a bit of perspective

Answer 4

haha, you took a fisher mans (old mans hat) on a date with your girlf friend?

Dude you don't do that. plane and simple. look nice when you go on a date! its a date for god sakes!

Answer 5

im sorry who is the guy in this relationship ?

Answer 6

well you need to show us the pic of the hat on you. but other then that most girls care what there date looks like so it really depends on the hat. if it was that bad that she made you put on a PINK hat ya you need to go shopping for so hats :)

hope this helps

Answer 7

wow anger managementttt...

lol hmm, no if my bfs fashion was bad id DEFINITELY try to help.

thats just her lol.

Answer 8

no, my husband dresses like a total loser straight out of the 80s (Get this, he has a mullet ... yes a mullet!) ... I just laugh and think "That's what makes him special" and learn to pick my battles on other things  

Answer 9

she doesn't sound furious just embarrassed and irritated

Answer 10

fisherman's hats are only for frumpy old men

Answer 11

You have to understand that most girls feel that their boyfriend's are reflections of them.  So if she looks good, you had better look good.

Not all girls think that way, but it really depends on their taste.  For example, girls who are a little more sporty will typically be laid back in dress, but like their guys to be masculine and athletic looking as well.  

If you are a nice looking guy, I'm sure that your girlfriend wants other people to notice, and while it sounds insane, she won't have a hat ruining that.

Just be careful not to become a trophy.

Answer 12

I've no idea what you are talking about (I don't fish).  But in my experience many g*y men and many women tend to have a lot to say about fashion that is often right.

Let her take you shopping and show you what makes you look good.

Answer 13

let her take u shopping, bond

Answer 14

no as long as it is presentable and it goes with the outfit

Answer 15

haha that's silly i reckon. sounds like ur gf is more concerned about how you look to everyone else next to her than anything else. .if my bf wore something i didn't like in public i wouldnt' crack the s***s about it, i'd just giggle at him and say he's my frumpy cutie, an maybe tell him he's so hot i've gotta dress him up sometime an take him shopping but i certainly wouldn't ever get mad at him!  

Answer 16

Most girls do feel that they have to dress their men, because they want to look good, and they feel they have to accessorize their man like they accessorize themselves.

A large portion of their confidence and self-worth is based within how they perceive they look.  This is why there will be times you feel she looks great, but she will insist that she does not.  You will be unable to understand how she could NOT see what you see, in that she looks great.  You will tell her, and she will question you "Do you really think so?" Then proceed to pick apart why she doesn't think she looks as great as you think she does.

Lack of confidence, and materialism to a destructive depth.  But hey that's pop culture for you.

Make a choice.  Either be comfortable in your own skin and stand up for yourself, or let her dress you like she's your mom and you are a 5 year old.  

In the end you might look better, but then she will get upset at YOU when other girls notice how good she made you look and start to pay attention to you.  She will refuse to take responsibility for this.  it will be your fault for attracting them.
