I've met people like this. They tend to have delusions about their wierd thing. Im confident those proposals were mostly in his head or from one off jests.

I'm a school bus driver and I've been proposed to by third-graders. I don't exactly take them seriously since I'm older than their grandparents.

Nah I'm sure he got some joke proposals from people that are actually attracted to his eccentric dress code

I mean, he does look pretty sharp. It's just kind of silly at the same time

What's funny is that he sort of bragged about these joke proposals to the article

joke proposals

one off jests

Those are the same things

I used to dress weird (anything from HS Thompson in Fear and Loathing to Victorian-ish numbers to goth stuff) for the hell of it and got a lot more positive attention than otherwise. I suppose it was effort and confidence more than anything else, but who knows. I never took it very seriously, so not sure what the article's subject's real story is.

Getting more tangental but thought I would share. I went to fandom cons in my youth and middle age and some fen had like costume identities. We stopped by a guys place spontaneously because we were in the area and when he answered he was like. Give me a min and then came back in his costume and invited us in.
