A man has revealed that he ditched his date after he didn't approve of the outfit she wanted to wear. After being invited to a business client's party, he decided to bring a date with him as he didn't know many people attending. He explained there was a "certain standard" of attire due to it being a formal house party, and was less than impressed with the outfit his date suggested she would wear.

He had been dating the woman for only a few weeks, but after seeing what she wanted to wear, he described it as something he would "expect a stripper to wear" and told her if she didn't choose something else he wouldn't take her to the party. Which resulted in him doing just that - and she wasn't impressed.

He shared the situation in a Reddit post and wrote: "One of my business clients threw this formal house party that I was obligated to go to. I didn't really know too many people there so I figured I would go with a girl. I asked this girl 'Kate' who I had been seeing for a few weeks if she wanted to be my date for the night and she said yes.

"She later sent me a picture of her in a dress saying that's what she was going to wear. Now, this dress was very revealing and showed her whole rack except for her nipples basically. It was also very short, putting the entire cake on display. I mean, it's something I'd expect a stripper to wear. I told her to pick another dress and that she could not wear that to the event because there was a certain standard. She said that it's her body and she can wear whatever she wants. I said you either wear something more appropriate or I don't take you. She said cool, don't take me then."

When he didn't approve of her dress he claimed left little to the imagination, he decided to bring another date to the party. Much to the dismay of the woman he was originally meant to go with. She told him he had no right in having a say on her dress so he asked online if he was an a**hole for doing so.

He further added: "I ended up going with a different girl 'Lisa' and we had a great time. The next day, Kate calls me an a**hole for ditching her and going with somebody else. I told her that I would've gone with her BUT she didn't listen to me. Kate said I have no jurisdiction over her dress choice and that I should have taken her wearing that dress because that's what gives her confidence. That makes no sense to me."

Many people were quick to agree that he wasn't in the wrong, as one Redditor replied: "It's her body and she can wear what she wants. But you can decline to take her to the party because her outfit would reflect poorly on you at a work event," whilst another added: "While yes it is her body and she has the right to dress as she wants, there are also appropriate standards for parties. Since this was a work party for you it was your decision on what would be appropriate for your date to wear. It was her choice to agree or to not go."
