If a girl tells you she's conservative and you later saw she has bikini pics on her insta, would you still consider her conservative?

Most would say I'm pretty conservative, but I would be happy to not even use a suit. Being a nudist or exhibitionist wouldn't make me not a conservative politically unless you mean a different kind of conservative such as she says that she dresses conservatively and then posts bikini pictures.

Even someone who dresses conservative can still put on whatever swimwear she likes, even if she never dresses in anything that shows anything off the rest of the time.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Yes I would still consider her conservative. Some people are politically conservative but don’t dress modestly/conservatively. Plus, it’s swimwear… It doesn’t mean she doesn’t still hold her conservative views lol.

[OlderAndWiser]

How do you define conservative?

[tar12]

Probably this is not so much about political conservatism, but rather about traditionalism.

[OlderAndWiser]

@tar12 Yes, usually arguments involving these kinds of questions all arise from having a lack of definition of the key word or term.

Actual conservative girls who are religious are usually modest and wouldn't wear a bikini. If she says she's conservative but wears bikinis on Instagram then I would think she's hypocritical, all talk, and doesn't know what she actually is. Real conservative women have been pushing back against bikini culture. Women of all kinds of backgrounds are starting to wear swimwear with more coverage and are going against the flow. Girls don't understand that they don't have to wear a skimpy bikini. But in order to fit in, they do it anyway even though it goes against their values.

As we go from generation to generation, there's an expectation on what women should wear and cliques are created on choices of clothing. Clothes are getting skimpier and girls (even "christian" girls) are starting to say "it's not that bad... it's just skin".

Especially when it comes to posting on instagram, I wouldn't trust a girl, no matter the background, who has bikini pictures. Women that do that are narcissists and show offs.

[TruthBringer]

First I would try to find out what exactly she means by being 'conservative'. If she actually has other values that are considered conservative like not having casual sex, not being easy, doesn't flirt with whomever she likes, doesn't walk around wearing attire asif she is going to a nightclub, etc. Then she would be conservative with exception to the "showing off" part on social media.

When I have to make a judgment from a far, I would not believe her. Because you cannot call yourself conservative and then put your body out there for the world to see. It's like I would call myself a vegan, but I still share food made out of meat on social media. I might not eat it, but do I really uphold the image of a vegan if I do that?

[Kaneki05]

Well I would believe she is because you can still fit all the other boxes of conservative, just like a christen who don't go to church, but she would be a hypocrite to the conservative nature that men have created through religion. Conservative means conserved in clothing too. And well if you disagree with that or any girl does take up an argument with your fellow conservative who bestows that women must be modest and religious.
Because I don't make the rules of conservative beliefs only conservatives do that which most tend to be religious people with beliefs that women should stay modest and show little skin. Just the same way to again the example of most Christians would encourage and go to church and would make that person a hypocrite to the nature of churches that Christianity made.

But honestly 1 rule been followed differently means nothing you could also be a Liberal who thinks rights to guns is alright.

[BCA6010]

Just because someone identifies as "conservative" (or liberal for that matter) doesn't mean that they actually are, or even know what it means. The right side of US politics is especially fragmented even though it is blanketed as "conservative" (which by definition implies a rigid and universal set of values), and I'd venture a guesstimate that the vast majority on the right don't have strong opinions about feminine modesty except when minors are involved.

In my opinion, bikini pics are in par with shirtless male pics and I don't really care if a woman has them; I care a lot more about the fact she's probably hungry for attention and gratification.

[Miristheiss]

There are degrees of conservative.
Modesty is usually considered to fall into the conservative umbrella more than not.
Also, the habit of keeping sexy things and revealing apparel between the 2 people in a relationship so going nude in public or 85-90% nude in public is usually more towards the liberal, non-conservative umbrella than it is conservative.

So, she might not be on the far conservative side but she may be conservative about others. She was probably raised in that weird loophole some families have of... oh you wouldn't go out in your bra an panties and you'd cover up quickly if someone happened upon you in that state of undress... but thrown in the ocean and water and suddenly wear almost nothing and they never seem to connect that the level of undress is pretty much exactly the same. She grew up in that lifestyle of "as long as you are at the beach anything goes".

[TheorionMage]

These days, with RARE exceptions... bikinis are TAME bating suits! 'Conservatism' is NOT automatically equivalent to 'Prude'. 'Conservatives' are more often concerned with judgmentally limiting and sanctioning what YOU can do (not them!)

I'm STILL stunned at the hubris of that CPAC gold-plated Trump statue! The hypocritical biblical implications are EPIC. THAT has to go in #45's presidential library!

The biblical 'Exodus' golden calf parallels are epic!

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Agree with the too_honest guy. It really depends. There's some gals that consider themselves sorta kinda conservative, so in that case a bikini is not that bad. But yes, then there are gals that are like COVER UP and DRESS CORRECTLY 24/7 who then secretly have a onlyfans account which 100% is hypocrisy. There is a fine line between a bit conservative, casually, and LITERALLY super conservative. Once the line is crossed, one needs to be seen differently. The authoritarian gal with the onlyfans account being hypocritical is WAY more common these days than pointed out and that's BEYOND problematic. Hypocrisy ALWAYS needs to be sharply criticized. Period.

That's why I've HARSHLY attacked people who come on here and show disgust as they question why other people wear casual clothes, why centuries ago were better, etc etc. Especially women, who back in the day would be too busy in the kitchen to even come to a public place like this and voice anything, much less being allowed.

[CaptainOverthink]

Firstly,
How she dress has little to nothing to do with her political views. People often thing you can look at people and see who they are but it's just not true. It's never that simple.

Secondly,
Just because someone is conservative or is under any other generalizing lable, does not mean they align and agree on every point of whatever party agenda.
Anyone thinking for themselves will have their own select views on things and they usually fall into some specific categories depending on the issues and the relevant solutions.

Unfortunately there are also blind followers.. but even they don't really dress predictably.

This Question makes me wonder if this is all just a missunderstanding. What do you mean be conservative?

[Nomoturtle]

I'd consider her less conservative, but that's about it.
Most likely she doesn't think about it as a contradiction anyway, but if she does, perhaps as you do, then:

It doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't have conservative views, economically or even socially. Just that on this specific issue she's not very traditional, at least not in practice.
Frankly, I would find it strange if the embodiment of conservatism actually existed, it's an ideal, not a person. You can do "no true Scotsman" purity spirals all the way down, but this isn't an issue of importance that I'd care to do that over, nor even talk about in the first place.

[OpenClose]

I don't know what her having a bikini has to do with her being conservative.

A lot of the conservative girls I know are tanned, bleached blonde, thin, and probably in a bikini. The abundance of male attention is probably why they are conservative. You tend not to care about social inequality when you are on the top side of this inequality. Not much judgement on my part, just a social phenomenon.

A leftie might be super pale and a little softer physique, any color but blonde, piercings and tats, probably doesn't shave pits. Probably feels like society doesn't see her beautiful thanks to ads that include the girl above. She shows up in a bikini anyway thinking it is a big statement, but it isn't because she's probably still pretty good looking, and just has trouble trusting positive attention.

[Jasmine-Darkfire]

What does bikini pics have to do with political beliefs? There is nothing in the conservative platform about a dress code.

[Too_Honest]

Conservative is a political view, I don’t see why wearing swim wear would deteriorate your beliefs, however if you’re one of *those* conservatives who say shit like “females need to cover up or they’re asking for it” or “females need to be more modest!!” And post a pic of them half naked, that’s just hilarious and hypocritical. I once met a “conservative” girl like that... she had an onlyfans page💀

[ObscuredBeyond]

There's a difference between "conservative" and ultra-reserved modest. It's entirely possible to be desperate for attention from others, while also feeling that the Democrats are completely insane and treasonous and need to be stopped. A woman doesn't have to pick and choose one paradigm or the other here.

[DonkeyDan]

I guess that would all depend on what she meant by conservative, conservative as in republican, or conservative in nature and personality.
Political views have no bearing on the clothing someone chooses. If she meant as in her nature, then it would be a little more surprising that she'd choose to post those pictures.

[Lonewulf57]

If you are talking politics and fashion, then I think the point is regardless.

If you are talking socially, or religiously conservative and then I see pics where she sports a thong bikini, then I'd likely think she's a hypocrite. Probably a hottie in that, but still a hypocrite.

[Iwjwamo]

Maybe she means conservative in terms of sexual activity and takes a while or a deep connection to be intimate with someone. Conservative can be politically, intimately or with regard to clothing.
I dress provocatively at times but I would definitely say I’m conservative when it comes to sleeping with someone :)
In very rare cases though girls do say this because it’s what’s socially expected and maybe she wants you to think highly of her
hope this helps!

[EmbraceThePain]

I mean, being conservative can mean a lot of things.


This is the problem with labels


“If someone is liberal, what would think if they wore red all the time?”


Um…. Nothing….


Labels pigeon hole one to certain strict and unchanging traits or characteristics.


These can be quite limiting

[FinalFantasyBro]

It depends on the bikini on one hand the girls you shown doesn't look conservative and if they are conservatives and still wearing a revealing bikini I probably just see her as a hypocrite. But don't get me wrong though girls in bikinis are really hot though.

[Heartache0405]

Depends on why she has the photos on there. Most conservative women tend to have photos of themselves at the gym or something.


If it were a photo of her with friends and she happens to be in a bikini then that doesn’t make her any less of a conservative. If she has photos of herself in a bikini for the sole purpose of gaining likes using her body as clout, than no. She’d be a liberal.
