Why do girls have to dress so provocatively?

Question

I'll admit it, I have a nice body. Even with that said, I never wear leggings as pants unless working out. I don't wear belly shirts or anything like that. But why does every single girl have to dress slutty for Halloween or when going to a concert for example. Guys, if a girl was at a party modestly dressed but still very attractive, would you over look her for the girl with half a shirt and denim underwear? What's up with girls these days? I actually feel ashamed that I don't dress provocatively. I will clarify, I will wear a bikini in public. However, I don't post pictures of myself on instagram like that. I just feel like guys only pay attention to girls who show off their bodies.

Im a sex addict, so I completely agree with you! I can't stand walking around in a street in daytime and girls (including underage) dressing provocatively. It shows a chronic lack of respect or consideration for men, who do, oddly enough, have to have sex, and cannot deal with that being dangled infront of them like dangling meat infront of a starving person. It sexualizes everyday life, which should be consensual, not forced. So personally, I respect girls who wear skirts and dresses. They are pretty and elegant, can still show off your figure, look classy, and do not require us to switch to sex mode when we are out buying milk at 4pm because we have a crotch or an ass in our face. Dresses and skirts were invented for a Reason.

Good topic!

You should, then, realize that guys pay attention to girls who show off their bodies. Men are much more physical and visual than women are. Women are significantly more mental and emotional centric. So maybe you should take advantage of what yo mama gave you. Especially if you feel shame in not doing so.

Those girls understand what guys like. It should be quite obvious where we place our value in society. Men in uniform, for women; bikini models for men. Yeah, you're bound to get a lot more attention if you show some skin. So just do it if you feel like doing it. I don't see what's stopping you. Or just go halfway and dress half modestly half provocatively.

It doesn't have to be about "insecurity".

You know in a lot of countries around the world, including America at one point, a bikini was and is considered extremely indecent.

We all need to stop with the slut labels and implying that girls only dress a certain way to attract men and therefore they must be slutty for showing off a belly button, or part of their cleavage. I'm not saying I love or like all fashion worn by everyone, but it's just clothing, and if you don't like it, don't look or shield your eyes.

Also your implication that no girl dresses modestly and no guy seems to like any girl who isn't showing some skin is RIDICULOUS. How in the world are so many modest girls married then if no guy is looking at them too?

Its fun to show off your body! I dont do it to get stares (although I admit it is a nice plus) I do it because it makes me feel good, I like the way I look and feel when I see my skin and show my body off. Its not so I can get laid, and its not to make some prudish people uncomfortable. I could honestly care less what others think. I do the things I do for myself and no one else.

Every single girl?
Really?

Calm down and get over yourself. You're not the only modest girl in the world.

If you're so mad at the girls who draw attention with their bodies, and don't want to be one of them, then draw attention with something else. Or just ask the guy you like out. Instead of lashing out at your own gender...

I wear belly shirts because they look cute and leggings because they're comfy and no other reason. I don't want to look good for anyone I do it for myself.

Like 99% of the time we can still tell that a woman has an attractive body even if she is conservatively dressed. The whole thing where men are clueless until a woman shows up in a skin tight outfit is an invention of bad movies.

You shouldn't feel ashamed you don't dress that way, they should, but society is backwards telling them they shouldn't and You are somehow the one who should be ashamed.

I prefer women who aren't constant attention seekers like the women you describe, I have dated a couple, believe me big mistake! As for why they do it, from what I have observed they are narcissists and looking for a fix. Guys who go after girls like that are either narcissists themselves, or

It really depends honestly. Modest dressing girls are usually prudes or some form of religious nuts. Just met a dude that went 10 years married without a BJ. The Wife was too prude for that act. i couldn't deal being with someone like that.

If it's only that she doesn't like dressing like that then no big deal. It's not a deal breaker.

Because that's what they're told to do these days. You went on the whole female empowerment crusade against slut-shaming; now, you're seeing the results everywhere. You still want guys' attentions- this in spite of your adamant protests that you "don't need men any more"- but you aren't prepared to do anything to get it from guys except flashing your undies and wearing skimpy outfits. Girls dress provocatively because it's easier for them, just like yourself, to dismiss all guys as brainless beasts ruled by our dicks, than it would be for them to acknowledge us as fellow human beings, and accept that they're no more entitled to our attentions than we are to theirs.

It solely depends on what kind of attention you want to generate. If you want to get plenty attention, dress provacatively and you will get plenty of superficial, shallow, physical-oriented attention.

If you dress modestly you might get less attention, but more quality attention.

Nearly all women dress for OTHER women , NEVER for men , so don't really get this either , very few women are provocative dressers in my local area. To be fair , neither gender really dresses attractively nowadays , the genders seem to avoid each other a lot more now.

Attention, plain and simple. What's funny is when the women who dresss like this complain about people treating them like a sex object or staring at them. You don't wear those kinda clothes unless you want that kinda attention.

by the way I'm just talking about people staring at them, not sexually harassing them. That's wrong and is a whole different story.

Catail I'[d love to meet up with you and have a drink or 3. It irks me to no end the way young woman act these days. I keep hearing about equality and such but they keep proving to me time and again all that matters in between their legs not their ears. You sound like you're a cut above.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

I am more likely to talk to or flirt with a girl. when she is dressed in a more modest or elegant way. without being dressed in an overly reveling way.

leggings or tights are fine with a skirt, shorts or dress over top. even more so if they see though at all.

Avery19 · Answer

Thank you! I thought i was the only one out there that still thought this way!💖💖

Anonymous · Answer

If a girl dresses that way, it signals that she is single/available.
If she dresses more conservatively it sends a signal that she may be taken/not interested in dating right now. If you like dressing more conservatively then you should be the one asking out the guys instead of expecting them to ask you out when they assume you are probably taken already.

i find girls who are modestly dressed really sexy. when there's nothing left to the imagination and you have pretty much seen everything from the start, where is the fun in that?

Anonymous · Answer

I think it's a deep rooted insecurity they have. I have a very hot and toned body, and used to be like that... very cringey looking back at it now. It feels good to get that attention, but believe me, dressed like that, people aren't thinking beautiful thoughts about how you're a great person lol.

SarahsSummer · Answer

Regardless of what the costume is, it's fun to be someone or something different than your normal self for Halloween. Why not just focus on yourself and your own happiness? guys pay attention to happy girls.

Not sure why. do you think either of these are slutty?

Nelsoen · Answer

I'm don't find girls who dress provocatively as attractive as conservative girls. I won't be an asshole to them but I certainly won't go out of my way to talk to them. I love girls who wear sundresses though lol

wolfie12 · Answer

You can always dress nicely and on the more conservative side. I haven't seen beautifull girls fail because of this.

Validation, attention whoring, ego boosting. Hence all the time women posting selfies on social media to get the above 3.

venomhbk1313 · Answer

I don't mind a woman dressed sexy but if they go too far and dress like a slut then I will have nothing to do with her

You be you. I actually prefer a gal that "leaves something to the imagination."
