I'm meeting a guy for a date and I know that he's a runner. Should I wear my Letsrun t-shirt to test him?

Wuuuuut?

It gets +1 bonus for proper college/Trump spelling.

My advice for jamin : no t-shirt but breast has to be shaved. The intersex issue would be addressed implicitly. If the guy talks about LRC, run away as fast as you can and see if he's a heel striker. If so, cut him loose asap.

I would hope that the girl would dress a little nicer than a T shirt on her first date with me.

wear a tshirt from the last race you pr'd at. A serious runner might recognize letsrun but not say anything about to be perceived as really elite. Its common knowledge that lots of elites post here but pretend not to, using anonymous handles.

It's going to be super casual.

Okay here's another question: What if we meet for something like working on homework? What would you think if a woman showed up to that wearing a Letsrun t-shirt? Would you comment?

But if you recognize the website when someone is wearing the shirt, aren't you just as bad because it means you read the website too?

THIS. HERE.

I was at a regional conference for my field and was talking with other graduate students who were runners. One was this crazy chick who just started opening up randomly about all these LetsRun forums and talks, and how Canada has its' own type of site and she posts under multiple user names on there.

Que. CRAZY.

Was a firey ginger though.

To be fair I found this website for the training content.

As another chick, I've had more luck wearing the shirt with guys who don't know about it. I've worn it a few times and had someone comment on it or assume it's "just another running website" so they think I'm a runner, not a deranged psycho.

You mean hobbyjoggers, right?

Research shows that only 1 in 12,297 runners actually are aware of Let's Run, so don't wear the shirt. Wear an A-line dress that you rock, but save the heels for a later date.

It is a risk. If he knows of the website it will start the date off well and make it easy assuming you don't know him well. If he doesn't know the website he will probably wish you had dressed nicer. At the same time I think a girl in a tight pair of jeans and a t shirt and a little make up is hot and doesn't come off as though you have to try so hard. If you are good looking in a t shirt and jeans you will be smoking in a dress and make up.

I would feel more attracted to you than otherwise because of the shared common interest.

She shops at thrift stores and is bat shit crazy because no woman in their right mind would buy that shirt.

A lot of this. However, although I am many years out of the dating pool if I were 20 something and single, I'd probably be intrigued if my date showed up wearing a Letsrun t shirt. Would make for interesting conversation.

Is this Phoebe Wright? Phe are you trolling again?

I'd be pleased if someone like this showed up.

I still can't get past the premise that: (1) there is a female Letsrun poster; and (2) (even less likely) that she owns a Letsrun t-shirt.

Is the date also on the moon? Will you be riding a flying pig there?

Also I have to add (as a woman): If I saw a woman with a Letsrun t-shirt I might make conversation with her because for the most part the women on here seem cool and I know if a woman is wearing a Letsrun t-shirt she doesn't take herself too seriously.

The guys on the other hand...
