21 Halloween costumes that will not get you laid. Probably NSFW. Looking through these, I'm sensing a certain theme. 21 fun, ad-choked clicks. sorry.

All the guys with costumes that will never get them laid should meet all the girls with slutty Halloween costumes.

If you had a whole party that was only heterosexual girls in slutty costumes, and guys (any flavor) in costumes that will never get them laid... what would happen? (Assume that no one is allowed to leave the party, no one is allowed to change their costume, and no new guests - such as guys in slutty or neutral costumes - were allowed in.)

taz: I would expect one guest to be murdered every hour, all of the guests' embarrassing past secrets and character failings to be revealed over the course of the night, and the murderer to be the plain-Jane kitchen maid. There's nothing like a grown man bawling over his failed relationship with his father while wearing a three-foot long velour-covered pantomime penis.

This is still the most disturbing set of Halloween costumes out there. It's the over-the-shoulder come hither look that really does it though.

I just went to McDonald's to get my morning coffee, and intersected with the drunk-after-halloween-party crowd. The guy next to me was about 250 pounds, with three days' growth of beard, dressed in a pink tutu and little pink crown. I caught his eye and said "Listen buddy, there's nothing wrong with that, and anyway, this is a gay neighbourhood." He laughed and gestured me to draw closer, clearly wanting to impart a secret. "If you ever, ever, want to have a whole lot of women pay attention to you all night, cross-dress." I agreed to take his advice and made my lonely way home.

I posit that those models got laid before, after, and during the photo shoot. I also posit that during the costume fitting, a bisexual orgy broke out.

Paging Fashion SWAT Dr Thorpe: Somebody is going to get drunk in this thing and fall down, and he'll be as helpless as a flipped tortoise. Zack: It's so horrible it makes me want to buy fifty of them and then get groups of people to stand in darkened alleyways downtown. Like you walk past the alley and you see five of these guys standing around a burning oil drum. You'll keep walking, but you'll never forget what you saw. Dr. Thorpe: It would be like that part in The Shining where the guy in the dog costume is going down on the old man. There's nothing objectively scary about it, but it's just fucked up enough that it chills your blood.

Sadly, I think these costumes will get a lot of guys laid. But it will be, for both parties, extremely unsatisfying. Although the next day, they will brag about it like it was incredible and all of their friends will be jealous.

Ugh. Not dealing with 21 page clicks, but gave up anyway after the link on the first page to "tips for getting laid on Halloween" which comprised of a list of five different ways to say "be a slut." I have feminist friends who have written honest and thoughtful pieces for this exact site. No idea what Bizarro World I just walked into here.

Turtles, the guy in the tutu is right. About twelve years ago one of the Gulf Coast casinos had a summer long Thursday "ladies' night" promotion with a free blackjack and video poker tournament and other goodies for the ladies. The male tournament sharks spent the whole summer grousing about not being able to play and several kept threatening to show up in drag. Well, the next to last ladies' night actually fell on Hallowe'en, and on a bit of a dare from my GF I did it. I got an old long dress from Goodwill, white sneakers, a tiny purse, and I let my long hair down and went as a little old lady. Hilarity ensued. Everybody had to check it out, and I ended up having my picture in the Mobile newspaper the next day. The guys who were too chicken to really do it are still kicking themselves. For weeks the male pitboss who didn't let me play in the blackjack tournament was taking heat for his lack of sportsmanship, and the female slots host who did let me play got mad props. People were still talking about it at Christmas. That said I will almost certainly never do it again.

Regarding the whole "will this get you laid" framing, it is obvious to all of us that the only way for an individual with a penis to be worthy of respect is to gain access to a vagina, and the only way for an individual with a vagina to be worthy of respect is to withhold access from penis. So what we have, is a zero sum game. This is a war, and there will be a winner, and a loser. As a person with a penis, it is my job to make sure that the winner each night is the "macho stud" (me) and the loser is the "pathetic whore" (whichever vagina-owner I am able to conquer on that night). If I lose, my opponent remains a "respectable lady", and I become the "loser who can't get laid". Many people swear by mind games and social strategies. Others focus on things like staying in shape or learning to dance. As a person with poor interpersonal skills, a terrible mind for strategy, a bad habit of overeating, little interest in dance music, poor co-ordination and a dislike for inebriation, the usual approaches are not cut out for me. What I do is collect urine samples from virile athletic young men (pretending to be an official for an intramural athletic conference works here) - I dress in my "club camo" - wearing clothing that lets me blend in with the crowd. Then I generously apply the pheromone laden jock urine in order to attract a likely specimen. Once she is in range, I use a special plastic tube that duplicates the call of a rutting douchebag, if she replies positively to the call, I ascertain that we have no friends in common, and we plot a series of events ensuring that she can claim to her friends that she went home alone and I can claim to my friends that I totally tapped that ass. And that way we both win.

What really gets me about the vagina costumes is that both models look deliriously happy. It's like they've always dreamt that one day they would have their pictures taken while wearing a ginormous plush vagina but never thought the dream would ever actually come true.

If you google image search for "vagina costume." the costume my husband made for Halloween 2000 is still on the first page of results. (The picture isn't from Halloween but a Super Heroes party - thus the pink cape.) I dare say it is one of the few vagina costumes that's actually based on what a woman's crotch really looks like. I guess that kind of detail would make it cost prohibitive for most manufactures.

idiopath: I think I found the costume vespabelle is referring to. At first, after clicking through to see the picture, I sat in my chair transfixed, my brain locked and immobile from shock. And once I had closed the tab the image remained in my brain so that every time I blinked it flashed before me. And now, it has become like a translucent film strung across my eyes so that even when looking at something else I still see... it. Soon, I know, I will see nothing else and I will be forced to close myself off from the outside world so that I can bury my head in heavy cloth and swaddling and scream, scream, scream until I pass out and, I hope, never wake up again. But I fear, should I dream, or should there be a world beyond this, I will still see... it... before me... forever... in eternity.

Years ago a group of us went to a halloween party thrown by a sharehouse. My immediate friends and I decided that we would dress up as the hosts- one of the hosts has large thick celtic tattoos running down her arms - all the rage in the nineties. So, my friend drew these tattoos onto his forearms with marker pen- we went to the party and were amazing yada yada. Next day, we had to go to some uppety pub for some drinking reason or what ever. We were walking through the door and my mate was stopped at the door- "Oi. No visible tatts mate" "Oh, these aren't tattoos, I drew them on with marker pen" "Hmmm, OK then, in you go"

"If you ever, ever, want to have a whole lot of women pay attention to you all night, cross-dress." Last night I went to a party dressed as a Mexican señorita, with a black wig and lots of paper flowers and one of those dresses where you can lift the hem above your head on both sides and still be decently covered. Let me just say that I have never had my boobs groped by admiring women so much in my life.

After shopping for my own costume, I came home and ranted to my (male) roommate about how unfair it was that there were so many prepackaged costumes for women that were objectifiying and skimpy and etc. etc. etc. He's only been there a month and hadn't quite seen any of my full-on BOO MALE PRIVILEGE rants, so he looked a little intimdated and I felt vaguely guilty. So when I saw this I showed him the link in an effort to make up for it: "Okay, see, I've learned that guys have Halloween rough too!" Come Halloween he avoided wearing a costume altogether and just stayed in and watched the World Series. I think I went a little too far.
