OK, here's the scenario for you:

You're the owner of Maximillians Home Health Service. You have a good business and run a tight and nice ship. You have a dress code and so far everyone has complied. Moreover, you are doing so well, you've just hired some new Home Health Aides--3 females and 2 males.
Things have been going smooth for awhile and then you start getting some phone calls from your clients. What are their complaints, that their Home Health Aides are dressing "scandeously" and that they dress like "thugs." You call in the Home Health Aides that were complained about--the new 3 females and the 2 males and check their clothing.
Female 1-she wears her scrub bottoms which when she bends down shows her g-string.
Female 2--she wears her scrub top so tight, there is nothing left to the imagination.
Female 3--she wears her scrub top and bottom normally, but they are funky and stained--constantly.
Male 1--he wears his scrub bottoms where you see more than a plumber's crack, you just see azz.
Male 2--he wears his scrubs normally, but the B.O. hits you at the front of the office--before he even gets to your office--around the corner and down the hall.
What do you think that you would do?

Remember--this is YOUR business, your money maker, and how you pay for your bills.

He will say that he will find out what they are ABOUT and not care about what they are wearing/how they look.

:)

He has to drive the point home even if he isn't being honest or realistic.

I guess so!

But then again, the child is 19 and has a little but of a way to go. But he should remember the old saying if he keeps thinking in the way that he does, he going to "have a hard row to hoe."

Well I would make them change a few things. Like i said i know that you are suppose to dress up during a job, interviews, and things of that nature.

And I guess that's the thing with kids today--they don't or aren't or aren't capable of being honest and realistic with themselves or anyone else.

Then they tend to wonder why people react to them the way that they do. But then you cannot teach an old dog new tricks and new dogs tend to wonder why they are back at the pound.

Make them change a few things?

Boy are--you are NOT in Egypt! This is not the River of Denial!

Child, stop deluding yourself as to "I would change a few things." There are way too many things that would have to be changed with this scenario.

Stop trying to downplay the situation and learn how to--how does the phrase go--man up.

This is about being able to KNOW how to DRESS and KNOW WHERE to DRESS and be APPROPRIATE where you go!

Everybody has a different dress style though. You telling me just because they are not dressing to the half of americas liking that it is wrong?

This might not be a good comparison but its like a car. It seems that you people would get the car that looks the best(aka the person that wears the suits) on the outside instead of the car that burns the least amount of gas.

Since we're talking about physical appearances and dating:

I get the car that both looks the best and burns the least amount of gas.

For some of us, the world is truly our oyster. :) We really can have it all.

O.K., but in corporate America, there are certain things that are expected!

When I was working at a Mental Health facility or at the Drug Rehab, I don't think they would have appreciated it if I showed up wearing tube socks with a pair of high heels and a tube dress (mind you I know my body size) and go to work to "help" the clients.

No I think I would have been told: 1) go back home and get dressed and you will not be compensated for the time away; 2) go and buy something appropriate to wear and return to work; and 3) if you refuse to do 1 or 2 go home and don't come back and we will mail you your check!

No what I am telling you is that when you are running a business, people expect your business to be run a certain way. At the Mustang Ranch in Nevada, they require those girls to look a certain way, but from a Home Health Agency, you require your employees to dress a certain way.

Dressing like a soiled dove or a sloven dolt is not the way that you want to present yourself or your agency or is it? If it is, believe me, you won't have an agency for long.

No, when I get a car, I get one that I can AFFORD! Simple as that!

What I am saying is that you are trying to justify dressing a certain way because of your desire too without looking at what you are a) going for, b) attracting, or c) what your home training might have been.

Here's the thing, if you want to be viewed as a certain way, then you dress a certain way. If you want to be seen in another way, then you dress in another way. Either way, people are going to judge you as to what you are wearing.

If you are wondering why LaQuisha keeps smiling at you through the window of Mickey Dees or Jack in the Box, then just take a step back and look at what it is that you are wearing.

However, if you wondering why Kandice, Patricia, or Alma are looking at you while tilting their head to the side with a slight wispy smile while you are dressed neatly in your shirt and slacks at the bank, then just take a step back and look at what it is that you are wearing.

ok everybody has spoken their opinion on the matter and it seems that nobody is going to change their view. With that said lets get back to people naming with they would refuse to date =)

Why cant it be that they are checking out my face instead of my clothes? If Kandice and the others are smiling at me while im in a bank the only thing im doing is protecting my money:D

Boy, I don't know whether to laugh or cry with you right now.

*shakes head back and forth*

You have LLLLOOONNNNGG way to go.

Who are you? :rolleyes:

I am deltadevil. The guy who doesnt get Kandice because i dont wear a suit:) Who are you?

Someone who isn't a "19 year old" newbie and borderline troll.

Well nice to meet you

I don't like really skinny women.

He cannot be taller than 6 feet. I'm 5'2. I would hate to jump to kiss my date.

I hate short women.

Heh!


...not really...


But...I have preferences.

I'm 5'2".

My ex is 6'8"

No problemo. :)

runt

Typically I would date guys that are over 6 feet, and I'm 5'3. I dated a guy that was 6'3 once and I looooooooooooved it.

Live-in is 5'11.5 so a little shorter than others I've dated but overall it's not like I'm the same height as him so we're good. ;)

You're just as bad as he is when you say things like this. Just FYI.

For what it's worth, old dogs who don't learn to adapt to changes brought on by new dogs tend to become quickly irrelevant, yipping annoyingly in the back of the pound.

my foot can still reach your ass

LOL

if I don't step on the other one first. Heh!

But...nah...I don't believe in hitting women...I don't see myself having a Chris Brown moment unless it's my life vs hers.

Whatever you say. It was just that way that I saw it. Don't get offended if it wasn't meant for you.

No No's--

A guy with no job
A guy with a jheri curl
A guy with gold teeth/tooth
A guy with no teeth
A guy that lives with his Mama
A guy that is younger than me
A guy with no ambition/inguneity(sp)
A guy that has children by 6 different women
A guy that doesn't take care of his responsibilities

Do you go to a date who had guud ingrish?

*dead*

I'm not "offended" at all - just pointing out the irony in a decidedly inflexible view of those darn kids (of whom I'm probably not even one). Carry on telling them to get off your lawn.

She was rather dramatic in her typing. In an unentertaining kind of way.

high horse /
you're sooooooo not one of those darn kids
/ high horse

I don't like crooked teeth

too much makeup.

what about crusty feets?

I don't understand what is dishonest or unrealistic about the belief that a person should be judged on their character and merit and not on their attire. I think that is quite realistic.
What is unrealistic is believing that you wont be judged based on what you wear. You will. You'll also probably be judged based on your skin color, gender, hair style etc. at some point. It isnt right, but it happens.

We "kids" do wonder why people react to us the way they do because most of you should have been through the same thing. When you were a kid your parents thought the way you dressed was unappealing, but you liked it. Same thing with kids these days. Nothing new under the sun. The weird thing about it is that you cant teach an old dog new tricks, but it seems that some old dogs cant remember the tricks they were taught when they were young. This is why while new dogs are wondering why they're back at the pound old dogs are wondering why they never left.





My dislikes:
1. Ugly hands.
2. Long hair
3. Height issues
4. Ugly lips
5. Pigeon toed guys

Physical, physical.... I will not date an obese person, a super scrawny person, someone with bad teeth, someone too short, no smelly feet (like exceptionally smelly), very bad acne. Honestly, I'm looking for good, strong DNA to pass down to my offspring at this point.

Rats...that rules me out...HAHAHHA
