More specifically, why do women dress up to go out.

1. To impress each other or to impress guys?

2. Do they simply like promoting that men can look but can't touch?

3. Why do women, in general love getting validated this way?

4. Why do women then get annoyed when guys approach them, wanting to pick them up?

I'd thought that if women didn't want the attention of multitudes of men, they should simply dress up in tracksuit pants and a baggy old t-shirt

Not everything we do is for a man.
Most girls don't dress up, or look nice to impress ANYONE, especially men.
We do it because it makes us feel good, and sexy.
And most girls are annoyed or rude to guys who pick them up because some guys just don't know how to approach with respect. Plus, we don't know what the guy's real intention is.we automatically assume, sex.

What's wrong with women wanting to dress up to go out? It's not necessarily to impress guys so much as to just feel and look good for themselves. Some girls also just want to be fashionable.

Suggesting a track suit and t-shirts is clearly not an option. Women dress up to keep up with the other dressed up people around. When men go out, why don't they wear track suits and t-shirts? Probably because it's just not normal.

And if women act annoyed when you come up to hit on them, then it probably because they aren't interested in you or attracted to you. I know that might not be a nice thing to say, but it's the honest truth.

I dress up to look good and feel great about myself. Once I know I look good, I feel GOOD! I am then more open toward others and I feel comfortable with myself. And in making myself feel great. Who knows I might just attract the opposite sex! Lol

We dress up to feel good about ourselves. Believe it or not, everything we do is not for the sole purpose of attracting men ;) when you look good, you feel good. Also the process of getting pretty and ready is fun. I love doing my hair, putting on makeup, and wearing a cute outfit just because. What girl wants to be unattractive and frumpy?

Usually we only get annoyed if the guy won't take no for an answer or catches an attitude when he gets turned down.

We dress up because it's fun and it's empowering. When a girl looks good, all kinds of nice things tend to happen, including getting the attention of attractive guys. Sure, you get some unwanted attention, too, but that's the price you pay, and most girls are willing to pay it.

For attention, to feel good about myself, confidence and yes to get noticed by guys.

Personally I LOVE attention and looking good gets attention. I don't get annoyed when guys approach me as long as they look good. If the guy is old/fat/ugly/bald/short then stay away or I WILL get annoyed.

LessthanLisa Obviously it's more flattering if a guy you feel is attractive thinks you're attractive too. But. Your response just irritates me. So if a guy is not up to your standards physically, automatically they're unworthy of you?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm flattered whenever anyone decides to hit on me, even if I may not be interested in them. - 4 months ago
ALWAYSclassy If some guy is old as hell approaching a 18-24 year old girl, she has a right to be annoyed that's just gross! - 4 months ago

You're doing an awful lot of generalizing here. There are a lot of guys who do this as well.

But I dress up when I go out to impress MYSELF. I don't care what anyone else thinks, I just enjoy looking nice because I feel better when I know I look good.

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?
random-ren asked 20 days ago

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

What's there to be annoyed about?

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I pick the lady up and we go out to dinner. Some place semi-quiet so we can talk but not too quiet I don't want it to seem overly romantic. Depending on the time of year we might do something outdoors like mini-golf or a football game, otherwise go to something indoors where it's warm. Not a movie, because I want to get to know her. I take her home and walk her to the door. The End.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
My name, Hobbies, Musical Tastes, a little about my family and what a I do for a living and hopefully have a good indication of what my personality is like.

Would you date me?
