So I posted some photos of me on here the other day in an unironed Simpsons t-shirt.
It got me wondering, is this something that puts people off looking at a profile? Am I causing my profile to be looked over because of a poor clothing choice? |

T-shirt like that doesn't bother me as it's already a casual look.
But I do love a pic of a guy in a pressed white shirt so if it was an either or situation between 2 guys probably would not work in your favour. |

That's good to know, at least it looks casual!
But of course, i was thinking in a toss up, i'd come up the loser, thank you. |

"Its all about how you introduce yourself in a message, women never message me, and so its all about that subtle and yet friendly approach   "
So you're saying it's about messaging, and not what i'm wearing? |

"Couldn't give a toss buddy
Then why even leave a reply? could have just ignored it"
Because he burned a big hole in his Simpson's T-shirt the last time that he tried to iron it, probably a sore point |

For me message is more important of the two. But again it adds an extra boost to attraction if pics are good too. I think i sum it up on my own profile text, but that's just my personal preference |

You've posted a question in an open forum where all m_mbers of the site are entitled to post comments. You may not like some of the replies your thread generates, or even think that they are particularly helpful, but this essentially boils down to freedom of speech.
To be fair, whilst you might not think that response was particularly helpful, I would suggest the opposite.
You have asked if a non-ironed T-shirt would put people off. Clearly this user wouldn't be, and so has, in fact, answered your question |

Subconsciously it possibly would put me off.
If your message was good and I liked your profile I might overlook it or not notice but I think if someone is "selling" themself but can't be bothered to make an effort then it would put me off.
Unless you referred to it in your profile in a joking way maybe. |

You have to rem_mber the ratio's of men to women on here also,...which is around 30:1, so that means if there's 100 women there's going to be 3000 guys, you have to really stand out against those guys....always consider this  |

"Would you iron it for a meet?
I would, yes
Then I think it’s okay, pal.
Sounds good. Wasn't sure if it was a visual thing for here though"
I think if I met someone and they hadn’t ironed their clothes then I’d probably be a bit disappointed but ultimately if they’re a lovely person, what does it matter anyway. They’re probably a level of care free I should aspire to be. |

Ah I see, so a good message to someone could help make it better, but overall it's best to have a clean and crisp look to grab attention? |

Do all the women on here do ironing though?  |

That is a fair point...... and an unironed shirt won't stick out as attention grabbing! |

"I'd just think you couldn't be bothered, don't care about your appearance enough.
It would out me off "
That's exactly what i've ben thinking myself.
I can see why you'd be put off. I think effort is definitely needed. |

It would put me off as I like a man to make an effort. If he didn't present himself well on his profile, the first opportunity to make a good impression then I'd assume he was a slob. |

I see how it would do. It does come off as incredibly slobbish really, thank you |

"An unironed casual t shirt wouldn't put me off. I like casual clothes. I'm unlikely to be interested in a guy in a suit or formal shirt."
Oh really? That's a different take on the other comments, nice to know that some women prefer casual clothing on men to suits etc..... |

I relate suits on guys as work wear or wedding clothes. I far prefer casual clothes. We all like different things but i dont like to follow the norms so if a guy is clean and he's wearing clean casual clothes then im happy  |

A good profile and dress sense does help but getting your personality across is the main thing, prove that if you get a social and good verifications will do you wonders! |

Ah I get you. I'm glad you don't follow the norms and like clean guys in casual clothes, means we don't always have to be suited and booted! |
