Wow, you are WEIRDLY defensive about this.
1. No one ever said nice guy status
2. First impressions matter, fashion included. If you can't go a single date without wearing a nerdy or fandom related item, that's on your wardrobe decisions.

Need your help dating-gaf. I just had a first date with someone I met on app. We exchanged numbers and met to grab drinks after work. The conversation flowed pretty well naturally for the 2 hours we were there. After we exited the bar I did the awkward one arm hug and said "I had a good time, see you later" and then we walked away in separate directions. I'm sure there was some interest towards me on her end at the bar. What should I do now to redeem this all and potentially get a second date... I've never done the awkward hug before.
Am I just over thinking this all

Now sure why you're throwing these basic dating platitudes at me. Has nothing to do with the original tie statement that i simply thought was ludicrous. sorry next time I'll let you believe any kind of self indulgent advice is keengaiages said:
Guys, wear a Disney tie if you want to wear a Disney tie. It could start a conversation. Or follow their advice and show up looking like a basic ass H&M model. The point is no one cares.

I always overthink things and it creates problems that don't exist.

No, plenty of people care. You're utterly missing that point. There's nothing inherently wrong with wearing a Disney tie, just like there's nothing inherently wrong with collecting Amiibo. And I agree that there's little point in self-censoring to the extreme; it's imperative to be comfortable with yourself - and with someone who's comfortable around you.
But doing (and wearing) certain things broadcasts messages. For instance, yes, I have a Charmander t-shirt. I'm sure as fuck not wearing it on a first date because it's not what I want to lead with, nor does it define me as a person.
No, I dress well, accent certain physical attributes, and look as attractive as I can. I expect my date to do the same - because that's how things are done. In my apartment, I don't hide things anymore, and I've got a "fuck it, yeah, those are video games" attitude.
"Not wearing a Disney tie" is functionally equivalent to "not starting off your very first conversation with someone about how fucking awesome Metroid Prime 4 is going to be."

I've made enemies with that opinion but I can't help it.
Metroid Prime feels way too bulky. Sams doesn't feel acrobatic at all.

Wearing a mickey mouse tie with a suit would only cheapen the suit. Why anyone would want to cheapen a classic look that all men look great in is beyond me. If you could get away with it, then the tie simply isn't necessary. Disneyland's Dapper Day is the sole exception here.

I think wearing a Disney tie wouldn't look so cool, but it isn't anime tee level.

How do some of you handle someone who is coming on way too strong when you don't have feelings for them, as well as facing pressure from peers and family members to be with someone?

You have to be firm and clear your not interested. While also respecting the other persons feelings so that it's not a criticism about them as a person.

1) have great photos where you look attractive or hold a cute puppy
2) the rest isn't really a big deal. Don't be too wordy or nerdy, I guess.

Why do girls get offended by everything?
I texted my gf what she was up to. She said 'making tea for the family... why am I in charge of tea?'
I replied back 'because you're a girl and you belong in the kitchen lolololol'
I was clearly joking.
She took great offence to that and said she is really, really upset by me. I told her it was clearly a joke, but she said it was a horrible thing to say and couldn't believe what I said.
Why can't they take a joke? Why so sensitive?

Haven't posted in months, and found this joke so bad I took the time to log in and comment. Really poor taste. There's a way to make a sexist joke work if the delivery is really on point and you have a history of sarcasm with your GF. I don't know your style of humor or how she reacts to it normally, but on its own, this is really bad.

"why are all women so sensitive"
"why can't any women take a joke"
"why do women get upset when I'm sexist"

Eh, the delivery wasn't really funny, more so obnoxious if I'm being honest. Should've said "I don't know, that sounds really tea-dious. Tell them next time that making tea is not your bag".
Rule of thumb with humor is that sexist jokes are a tough sell and not funny to a significant other because they communicate a lack of respect, and should be avoided.

If you have to do sexist humor, and you don't, at least say it in a clever or original way.

Dude maybe because that's more like a 4chan troll post than a joke.
Yeah, that wasn't a good joke.
Speaking of sexist jokes. Yesterday, the girl I'm seeing and I were talking about military conscription. She said it wasn't fair that women didn't have to enlist while men did. Later that day we were lying in bed watching Skyfall and when the scene came up where Bond gets accidentally shot by Eve, I said something along the line "See, that's why there are no women in the military". It was clearly a joke and she actually laughed but then gave me the evil eye after that
. But it's all good.

Not the time to be making a joke about something she is already pissed off about, and text delivery can easily misread the tone without lots of diplomatic immunity emoji's. You should have had empathy with her and directed the joke at her family, not her.
Yeah, that wasn't a good joke.

See now that's pretty funny, it makes sense in the context of your conversations and isn't some dumb typical 'get in the kitchen' joke.

You guys are incredible thin skinned lawd have merc. The horrific things I say to my friends and vice versa makes that look incredibly tame, including two friends that I have that are girls.
To me it depends on your girl's humor. Some can take it, some can't. Some might just be pissed so when you say it, they get even more angry which is understandable lol

Relationship context is the difference. Women are not a hive mind that all think/react the same.
