You can get these fairly cheap, John Howard is the man to see.

Jeez you really don't have a clue do you? Sane, non psycho chicks are not going to leap on you if you flash an arm muscle or if you let slip you're in Finance Get the damned costume man

No, but those were two reasons I have been given recently when being ditched...

I'll take this post as a yes

I didn't vote, because I think you should do what makes you happy. But, just a thought...Could it be that wearing/wanting a Storm Troopers costume is the reason why you don't have a significant other? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there is some woman out there (probably at a Star Trek convention) who would find the costume sexy, but are you sure you want to date her?

No, I think it's cos I'm a nice guy - It doesn't appear to be vogue for women to like nice guys these days...

Hmm, I'm not tall enough to carry that off. Maybe a black hooded cloak and a load of lightning from my finger tips?

I do a good line in evil cackling...

I like nice guys. I married nice guys - both times. I think it's more because you're smart and that frankly scares the sh*t out of a lot of women. I find smart men fascinating. I find men in comic book costumes just freaky. It makes me think of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons.
