I either go flirty/provocative or maxi dress length. There is no in-between lol.
I definitely agree that there is a certain length that is appropriate depending on your location, but the wording used for the really short lengths are kind of offensive. It implies that if a girl wears something too revealing and she gets raped, then the blame should be put on her. In a rape, the victim should never ever be blamed. Regardless of what she wears, it has nothing to do if whether or not she was "asking for it". Men are not animals, I think they can resist the urge to rape someone. We saw this picture in our Sexual Deviance class when learning about the sexual double-standard and feminist theory. How come there aren't any pictures like this but with men instead? How come guys can walk around without shirts and no one gives a fuck? If a girl even wears a tank top or a sports bra, she gets called a showoff or a slut. Sexually, men and women are not seen equally when it comes to sex, and this is a problem that we, as a society, need to focus on changing.

1. do u agree with this 'scale' of length and the message it conveys?
no, slut/whore are offensive and "asking for it" is a slap in the face for all rape victims

2. if yes, what's your range? if no, what do you disagree with?
I like them short but I don't want that my ass cheeks hang out as soon as I move a bit. most are probably provocative or cheeky, but I have some longer ones too.

3. have u ever thought about it this way before?
no, I wear what I like and don't care if other people would classify it as flirty or whatever

I think generalization about clothing can't be done since it depends on the occasion. For example you wear bikini at the beach because it is what it is.

If you go clubbing, you can wear more 'cheeky' that is cool. For daily wear, I prefer more between flirty and proper.

To be honest I never thought about this scale. I think people should wear whatever they feel comfortable in.

According to the picture you posted, my skirt/skirt pants/dress length is either flirty or between flirty and cheeky. Many of my clients, their maids and kids say that they like to see me wearing them so I think such lengths should be good for me :) I think the cheeky length is too short.

I like a dress or a skirt to just above the knee. Depending on the weather, with or without pantyhose. And I only like it if the girl likes it too. A smiling girl in long pants is more welcome than a sad one in a pretty dress :-)
A bit shorter is okay if she's a pretty girl but it shouldn't either look or feel (to her) as being semi-naked.
In that case I don't like it either!

what range do I find most attractive on women? -- the area the diagram marked as 'Cheeky' will do, but only if it comes with Zettai Ryouiki (mostly if your Asian, but other women may try) or Fishnets (yes, I am a permanently damaged 80's boy).

If the leg is bare, notch it down to the designation of 'Flirty'.

michelle3685 · Answer

That's funny. The terminology isn't what I'd go with, but that being said, mine range from matronly (not my choice label to cheeky. I've got some "matronly" length that are quite figure hugging or even have a slit, adding a little "risqué" to it and some more "cheeky" length for certain occasions. I wouldn't go any shorter, but that's just me. Usually mine range around the knee to slightly above, daily.

Red_Dragon · Answer

Ehhh I don't care, and just because a girl wears her skirt/dress a certain way doesn't make her classy nor a slut or whore. I've seen some girls who wear what would be considered elegant and they screw around. I've seen some who wear them higher and stay faithful and true to exclusive relationships.

Most attractive depends on the girl and the overall picture to me.

aamy811 · Answer

I absolutely hate this. What is "asking for it". If they mean sexual assault then that's fucking disgusting. Also I hate the words slut and whore a women dressing provacatively doesn't make her a slut. It just makes her a woman dressed provocatively.
I already explained that in the first part
Nope it's just skirts. It could be hot as he'll. you could be at the beach. I don't know so I can't judge

NovemberJoseph · Answer

I prefer girls who wear up to flirty. It looks cutest there. Anything up is too revealing for my taste. That is, my taste in potential gf's of course. Anything above flirty is sexy Af, but that's all. Sexy. Makes me think less of any other characteristics.

SkyrimAddict · Answer

I would be fine with anything cheeky length or longer. Honestly, I do not see how a girl would be comfortable wearing anything shorter then that but to each there own I guess. Personally, I love seeing any kind of skirt/dress on a girl, except those short denim skirts. For some reason I hate how they look, never been a big fan of denim anyway.

MaskofInsanity · Answer

I don't go above provocative, but "flirty" is my most common length. I find the first three names absolutely offensive though. Especially "asking for it".

Invoker · Answer

Proper and flirty both catch me every time.

All girls should wear dresses more often. Ah, but alas, winter is approaching. So bring on the sweaters, jeans, parkas, or straight-up just hiding in the house. XD

ÉlanVital · Answer

Cheeky and flirty are the cutest.

I honestly don't think the length of the skirt/dress signifies the type of person the woman is. Like I can understand whore is crossing the line but slut? I don't know

slackercruster · Answer

Classy dress for a special occasion can be long. For street I like shortish. I think ladies legs are lovely, like to see as much as possible. (Within reason.)

Nylena · Answer

I don't wear skirts or dresses as everyday outfit very often but those I have are mostly cheeky-flirty the shorter ones I have are mostly for special occasions

why_not_anonymous · Answer

Such whores! They don't even show covering those paragons of sexiness, the ankles. I mean, what's any self-respecting Christian to do, when they're not even on the scale! /sarcasm

rjroy3 · Answer

From "Flirty" to "Asking for it". All dependant on the type of skirt. Flowy skirts tend to be better on the longer side, while tighter skirts are better shorter

Yumira · Answer

I don't wear skirts/dresses that often but I got a good mix of all lengths (but nothing like "whore" or "slut", don't like my ass hangning out) and I don't really like their choice of words

isabellemarss · Answer

My skirts and dresses are usually between "provocative" and "flirty" according to the picture. But I don't believe that women should be shamed for dressing too little or too much. :)

Zango91 · Answer

Cheeky, Flirty and proper are standard. Anything below cheeky is when she's already been my gf and only when we wished to hav some fun and push a few limits.

JulieXO · Answer

Usually something between flirty or cheeky. I own long dresses as well, but I would never wear anything shorter than cheeky.

bambi3 · Answer

I guess I wear mine at flirty length but I just like my legs I'm not worried about flirting also its hott as fuck in Texas

aficionado · Answer

I judge a woman's attractiveness by her nature and personality, and not by her clothes. So the length doesn't mean much to me.

SakuraChii · Answer

So I guess I'm "cheeky". No I don't agree with this I find short frilly skirts to be more girly. and I've never thought about this scale before.

existing_not_living · Answer

1. To a degree, yes. 2. Prudish, Old-Fashioned, Proper, Flirty, Cheeky (maybe a farther down w/this one) 3. No, not really.
