find a new one, why bother dating someone who wants to change you from day 1.

Don't wear the socks.

Start a relationship with her, and a month later, just start wearing the socks again. At that point she will
a) decide you are not 'poofy' notwithstanding your sock inclinations
b) continue to detest the socks but not end the relationship because she realises that would be shallow, or
c) end the relationship ... shallow B!t@# ... you dodged a bullet.

look at his location. She is clearly just worried that he is a gay dude who hasn't realized it yet, I mean it is San Fran.

Post pictures of how you dress. Then we'll decide whether or not she may be onto something.

In any case, I'd never change my style for a girl, and I'd probably change a girl for my style.

Seems pretty shallow of her. But, you could tone it down while keeping your personal style if she is really special to ya.
