If Told Your Blind Date Weighed 320lbs, Would You Still Wear A Rolex ?

Let's say that generally you want to make a good impression on a blind date..

That good Impression would include strapping on your best Rolex..

But what if you were told that she weighed 320 lbs...........

Would you still strap on that Rolex ????

why not?

The way I see it is that if someone set me up on a blind date it would be because we have things in common with each other. Weight wouldnt make a diff, (especially since I am a fatty fat fat ) however my GF might not like me going on a blind date though LOL

Geez, Larry, you always come up with the tough questions.

And to answer the question, I wear a Rolex because I like it and not because I want/need to impress someone.

320 pounds? I'd keep my watch off so I could encounter the least wind resistance running home.

Gee, was her momma taking steroids when she was pregnant or what? I'm just a bit under 6' and she would make me look like an Umpa Lumpa!

Didn't say I wouldn't go out with her did I. AHhh, what was the question again? I think I would wear my Submariner since it is rated for depth or in her case..height! Sorry, my wife just slapped me!
