Disney Prince: despite the mainstream interpretation that Prince Charming is indeed charming, the reality is: most Disney Princes are complete buffoons. They lack intellect, insight, and depth. The princesses have all the brains, wit, and strength. So if a guy is dressed as a prince, be prepared for superficiality and hang onto your glass slippers.
Reality Star: “Reality Star” is an oxymoron. Not only are these shows not reality, their participants are not stars. If you meet a guy dressed like this, your best bet is to be very confused and say “I don’t get it” over and over again while walking away.
Superhero: This could be a classic case of overcompensation (who doesn’t want to leap tall buildings in a single bound?) or an excuse to wear man-tights in public. Choose carefully.
Horror Character: this guy is not looking for a girlfriend, he is taking his Halloween Costume very seriously and is probably enjoying scaring people or freaking them out. As long as this is a once a year thing, he might be a keeper!
Best costumes: quirky, creative, esoteric, effortful. It’s fine to be someone famous or a recognizable character; the trick is to think it through, research details, and don the persona. Have fun!
