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 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.

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.
