Do you enjoy the modern trend of women dressing in more revealing clothing such as yoga pants, crop tops, short skirts, etc? Why or why not?

Question

SomeGuyCalledTom · Accepted Answer

As a straight, single guy I'm a willing beneficiary of this trend lol

In a relationship it could be a bit different I guess. There's pretty much two types of guy a woman can date: there's the guy who wants her to look "revealing" out in public so he can "show off" the fact he landed a hot girlfriend. And then there's the guy who wants his girl to only show off her sexualised appearance to him, in private. So when getting more "serious" with a guy, she should actually find out which js his preference, because then she can avoid a lot of misunderstandings later on. It may be an awkward conversation, she might get offended and pissed off if his answer isn't the one she wanted. But its necessary if you intend to male something real and lasting.

I may get blowback on this but fuck it; the primary reason women wear revealing clothes is to put on a sexual display for men. Either her man is okay with this display (because he wants to "show her off" and gain comparative status for having "landed a hotty")... Or he's NOT okay with this display (ie: he doesn't want unwarranted male competition trying to cuckold him and steal his girl). I guess there's also a third type of guy who genuinely doesn't care or even notice, but he's probably just naive and underestimates the actual effects of her dressing in such a revealing way.

There can also be subconscious insecurities or hidden motives for a girl's sudden desire to dress more revealing. My ex (as i later learnt) cheated on me right around the time she started wearing more revealing clothing and behaving more sexually suggestive in public. So guys, if your girlfriend usually dresses more modestly, but all of a sudden she's wearing skimpier outfits and getting drunk on the town more frequently in said outfits... then that should be a HUGE red flag with a big 'X' emblazoned on it.

But if she's single and ready to mingle, then by all means, she can dress for the exact type of male attention she's hoping to attract. I'm not here to shame anyone for "using what God gave them". Humans evolved with specific mating routines, and a visual display of physical attractiveness is a very effective routine. But let's not delude ourselves into thinking that going half naked to a nightclub is a "fashion statement" or a mere "confidence boost". Women know exactly the effect their appearance has on people around them, and men in particular. I consider it as calculated a move as anything you'd see of a chess player.

Depends on motive, but, often, no.

I walk around with my shirt off, but also put equal attention into my communication, empathy, manners & inner skills, not intended to reward me in satisfaction, or gratification.

Many of these women, in my experience, favor gratification (attention, etc.) as a reward, otherwise there would be no reason to go to outrageous effort every single day, unless they believe something in it for them.

Few women I experience compete to be most selfless, empathetic, articulate, or get jealous of another for features related to a strong mind, or good character, but traits that reward them, again, in attention, validation, as this seems the primary motive.

They fail to understand, where most attention goes - outside (image, career, status), often give far less focus to grow what separates them from a lion that licks its ass all day - a strong mind - again, few women compete, or get jealous over another woman's grace, intelligence, etc.

Show me a woman in skimpy clothing who can discuss philosophy, literature, must (real music (structure, style, etc.) not Taylor Swift) & I'll admire the hell out of her... far more women I see as sex objects, when they complain, I mention they literally decorate their body & treat it as an object, yet get angry when others do the same.

Sbgirl · Accepted Answer

It depends. I do wear all of the above, but not for the purpose of being revealing. If I like the style or colours etc and how it looks on me, then I'll wear it as long as it fits the occasion. I am also aware that if I wear something that happens to really show off my boobs, butt or legs etc, even if unintentional, that it will draw attention from men. I am fine with looking, I understand that when you put something on show it is only natural for people to look, but disrespectful behaviour should never be tolerated, no matter what you're wearing.

And like I said occasion is everything. I mean I would pretty much wear leggings everywhere casual, but going braless or wearing super short shorts are usually just for walking the dog, shopping or really hot weather, not a family event or anything associated with work.

I will say that women seem more judgmental when I wear these things than men - yes men look and gawk sometimes but as long as they don't cross a line, I just take it as a compliment and move on. Yet so many women seem to look at me in a judging way as if they frown upon it or I am just dressing a certain way for attention.

ShyKI · Accepted Answer

🗣A👏🏽slut👏🏽 isn't👏🏽defined👏🏽by👏🏽 clothing. I lot of people don't like stuff like that because it seems slutty. There's a wide variety of people who think people that dress like that do it for the attention. I admit, in some cases- yes. But not every single one. These are the same people who won't say anything to a girl with no body (curves, big breats, large thighs, etc.) wearing something revealing, but claim a girl with a full body is a slut for wearing the same exact thing. What it comes down to is people think because a girl looks amazing in something revealing, she's for the streets or whatever. Smh. Fashion is fashion baby. Comfort is comfort. Believe it or not, some people dress to impress themselves. How do I know that? because that's me! I have a wide variety of styles, I love changing it up. Yes my physique is very very very appealing and mature but it is what it is. Whoever can stare. There's usually a slim chance they'll actually approach or even get a response. That's on periodtt baby.💁🏽‍♀️

Monicaa7690 · Answer

As a 20 year old girl, no. Girls my age and even younger wear crop tops/bralets/booty shorts/extremely short and cleavaged outfits and so on. Women can wear what they want, it’s their life. But me personally I’d feel too uncomfortable to dress that way either in person or posting selfies with those clothes online as such. Especially online actually. And it’s not even due to insecurity, more so it’s just creepy that literally anyone can see what my stomach/legs/breasts/butt looks like and I’ll never know what kinda creepy thoughts they’re probably having about it. I’ll stick with normal shirts, my jeans, mid length skirts and dresses.

And if we’re gonna talk about something I REALLY don’t get women posting online, it’s their bikini pics. Especially when they’re younger like mid teens... Like I said they can do what they want, but I don’t know how they don’t feel it’s uncomfortable how any man will be able to see that. Unless that’s what they’re looking for or don’t care.

Then again I am from a very strict traditional minority of a race so, I assume these things are probably normal to others and just a big deal to me. Don’t pay too much attention to my opinion lmaooo

The6ix · Answer

Trends come and go, and I think when people realize more how awful the police are, how ism-based ideologies like capitalism or feminism should not define world because in fact it divides the world or society, that people became more aware that both main parties when voting at the polls seem the same way with their objectives. Finally, yes, I do believe eventually women and girls will realize and say, why should we sexualize ourselves for the attention of men or guys? I mean look at the 80s and 90s -- back then people thought, ok, just get a normal job, get married, have a few kids, go on a vacation or two a year and repeat. I'm not saying that doesn't exist now but look at how people today say, "I don't care about marriage" compared to the past. Things change, people change, trends change. I admit as a guy we are wired to look and it's a guilty pleasure. But if guys take it to the next level and watch porn 24/7, always wanting to fuck some next girl, and go to strip clubs, that's an addiction and people need to control it. As a guy who's in shape I don't feel the need to go to the beach or post pictures of myself with my shirt off, I'm fine with wearing black running shoes, some joggers and a plain Nike tshirt with the little check mark on the left side of the shirt. I'd rather talk to people on a deeper level then just get a few likes based on a picture and women and girls have to realize that to.

Daniela1982 · Answer

They should save themselves the trouble and just hang out on the street corner waiting for a John to drive by and pick them up. I am beginning to think that there are a ton of women with no self respect or self esteem. The only way they think they can attract a guy is with their bodies. Sadly it really says that they are H0's and will spread their legs for any guy that sweet talks them. A real woman doesn't need to dress that way but will attract the right kind of men with her personality and her intellect, which a lot of girls today seem to lack.

SomeBlondeChick · Answer

Nope. Cause it's predominantly for attention seekers & not needed.
I dress in stylish clothes. Dress pants. Colorful blouses. It's original to myself, not following some half-naked trend fostered by celebrities.

I get a *lot* of attention from *men* - not little boys looking for an easy score regardless of their physical age. Some of these *men* are very affluent, very well off, or well respected in the local community. Again not little boys pretending they're men.

Cherokeehp · Answer

I love it. When I was younger my mom dressed me like a little boy. I was always in baggy jeans and t-shirts. I always wanted to dress like a pretty girl when I got older. When my teenage years his I was a bit too self conscious about my body to actually dress how I wanted to dress. But I decided that when I got to college I was going to leave all my old ugly clothes at home and buy a whole new wardrobe with prettier clothes. I had no choice but to start wearing crop tops, skirts, and dresses cause it was all I had. At first it was super uncomfortable and I felt really exposed and visible, like I was an attention whore. But eventually it just became my new normal, and eventually I was able to mix and match my new clothes with my old clothes and now I consider my style to be “sexy homeless tomboy chic”. I get a lot of attention for the way I dress, some bad, some good. But I’m way more comfortable and confident in my body now.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Yes. Because I am sexually attracted to women, and my endocrine system supplies me with wonderful chemical rewards for checking them out. More revealing clothing helps enable that.

Also, regarding yoga pants in particular: they look comfortable. Tight, but comfortable, and comfortable people are people who are more likely to be in good mood, which makes being around them more pleasant. It's a positive feedback loop. Plus, dressing for the weather means spending less energy on climate control.

lamodelle · Answer

It shouldn’t matter what people wear. There were still communities in less developed countries where people did not wear clothes up until a couple decades ago. There were communities as such before Western Civilisation emerged and I am almost certain that there still are. I don’t get why we feel like we have to look down on others or judge them simply because they don’t wear the kinds of clothes they wear. I enjoy wearing crop tops and shorts and anything else I want to wear, and I don’t think it should be anybody’s business because I’d wear what I feel most comfortable and confident in. And I sure as hell will post it all on social media if I want to.
I’m not going to judge someone for their personal decisions. They picked their ‘vices’ and I picked mine, so let everyone judge themselves.
If you don’t like people who dress ‘scantily’ then stay away from them and hang with those who dress how you like it.

JackSmy · Answer

I really like how the 1980's "waist-high" jeans, that show off her perfect curves, and make her look, WOW!! Are coming back into fashion!!
LOVE the ones, that hug their curves, and maybe sensible underthings can come back, too, and not the 'anal floss' that came with short, hip-hugging jeans and 'Whale Tails'!!
Love how the Yoga pants are still really popular!! Seems that there are two different groups, that wear those: Ones that go with thongs, or nothing, for underwear, and the others, that wear something comfortable, and couldn't care less if they have a visible panty line!! I'm more with the second group, and love seeing that they are wearing something comfortable, and NOT CARING!! LOL!!

LovingLover · Answer

No.
But it's too late to make sense to stop in the western culture... Things are more desirable when it is hidden or not familiarized.
It desensitizes some men. He is no longer easily aroused.
And for some men who are not accustomed, they get blue balls at the wrong timing sometimes. Women who do that don't care how they affect men, it'snot very kind. I'm sure some hate men and this must be fun.
It leaves nothing to the imagination.

ettubrutus · Answer

I do, but at the same time there are way too many underage girls sexualizing themselves the same way. It seems to get worse every year and it feels like it's becoming impossible to tell if a girl is underage or legal. Some 16 year olds look more mature than me at 23.

jahaims · Answer

I do not personally like it. However I am also okay with a woman dressing however she wants. For example I would not want my significant other to wear revealing outfits in a public setting because I believe that seeing the more intimate and revealing parts of your partners body should only be the privilege of your partner. Be vulnerable in that way means something to me. Here is a bit of a thought experiment. Why would a lot woman be comfortable being seen in a swimsuit that reveals more than say her brah and underwear would. Also if you have a partner why do you feel the need to show off your body or seek attention from others?

bakingperfectionist · Answer

I really don't care what other people wear. Though the trend of dressing provocatively for attention and posting extremely provocative pictures is very strange to me. All I think when I see women like that is how much they scream insecurity, not confidence. However, I don't put that much thought into it, not my life, not my problem.

OpenWine · Answer

even if I liked the looks of it I think it kinda poisons a bunch of women for my taste.

with men vocally drooling all over them at a constant pace some may get their nose up high and end up living in a bubble. when you talk to them it turns out they are not willing to show any qualifying personality traits which bores the hell out of me aka gotta go fast.
the women I had the best connections with are usually the ones you would expect to lean the opposite direction.
to resume it's more of an assumption drawn from a few cases and can't be applied to all subjects

spuitkaas · Answer

I like it because I don't like being warm. Would be even better if I could take my shirt off in warm weather but we ain't there yet.
Also, crop tops with high-waisted pants are great for my hourglass figure since they show a tiny bit of waist and many loose fitting things make me look big bc of my chest.

itsjustlew · Answer

I don’t hate it because everyone has a right to wear what they want but I also don’t care for it because I prefer it when people dress more classy to be honest. A lot of the time dressing that way will attract more attention from creepy guys so I don’t and I don’t really think it’s necessary to wear booty shorts and crop tops everywhere.

modelUN242 · Answer

I don’t dress like that, a lot of girls may age does but I feel embarrassed showing parts of my body to everyone, especially old creepy guys. I’m not an exhibitionist, so I try to dress so I don’t attract that much attention. I hate when people stare at me.

ThomasTKay · Answer

Yes and no. I love the photo of the girl in shorts on this poll. She is beautiful and as long as she is adored for her beauty, respected and humanized, it's a healthy image to appreciate how beautiful her body and uniqueness is. But if she is dehumanized and her personality, face, interests, are ignored so as to make it so only her body is the center of everything, then she is not being respected or cherished for the person she is.

Eggplant29 · Answer

As there was a news story about a mother feeling a similar way with her young son and college students in yoga pants...

If you have shapely legs and or a shapely bottom, it is ten times harder for me NOT to look if you are wearing tight yoga pants.

I believe in self control but women are kidding themselves if they think men will avoid gazing at that kind of sight.

Miristheiss · Answer

No.
I like modest girls
I'm sure many will reply yes just for the sole reason of getting to see more.
True, it is candy for the eye but I look at it from the view of... would I like it if my girlfriend, wife, daughter dressed really revealing the answer would be no, so it isn't a trend I'm fond of.

_SOARER · Answer

No, I know that it leads to a lot of bad things. Immodesty is a sin. Women are beautiful and they have amazing bodies, however they should not dress the way they do in the west because it produces the worst kind of attention and lustful impulses.
Women aren't even given a choice, the whole fashion industry produces immodest clothes.

taylor1098 · Answer

I don't mind if you were revealing clothes, as long as it's classy. Wear yoga pants at the gym. Wear a crop top with jean trousers or long skirt, or a mini skirt with a covered top or a cleavage dress that's long. No need to show everything at once. You'll look like a hooker.

WadeDanielSmith2 · Answer

Yes, I love it when women dress super sexy and revealing. Even if I'm not particularly interested in a woman I like to see her being sexy and enjoying her beautiful body and stuff. God made her to be beautiful and she should enjoy herself and thank God for her beauty.

TatyanaTheEmpress · Answer

I like wearing crop tops and short shorts during the Summer, because the weather is too hot, not because I like to look revealing.
T-shirts and tank tops are also nice, I can combine them with any kind of shorts, usually jean shorts, but I like all types of jeans in general, especially skinny and ripped jeans, as well as cut offs.
I don't wear skirts, I like wearing yoga pants when I go to the gym, but I prefer sweatpants.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

in public I much prefer a woman in more traditional female clothes. that are modest / elegant but still form flattering. however in private it is nice to see a woman in a reveling outfit now and then. their are many woman today that try to wear some outfits in public. that make others cringe when they see her. because the outfit does not flatter her body well. if you shop at Walmart or other big name stores you'll see them a lot.

Tomsta · Answer

I don't mind it. However what i do mind is when women would dress like that then complain about being looked at by guys. If you go out in a top which shows your entire mid section you're are going to get attention from both guys and girls, if you don't want that then don't dress that way, you can still dress nicely with a figure hugging dress for example

Revealing and sexy aren't mutually exclusive

DiscomfortZone · Answer

I understand women need to sexualize themselves for male attention, it would have been perfectly natural and okay had they not simultaneously complained about men sexualizing them (I despise such pathetic hypocrisy). But nowadays I don't see women (other than my wife ofc) as anything worthy of a second glance, so I don't care if you dress like whores or walk around naked, y'all ain't getting shit from me :)

Danny_dan92 · Answer

Women can do whatever the fuck they want, however. Like anything in life, you need to weigh the outcomes and repercussions of any decisions you make.

In this case, if a womb wants to wear clothing that is deemed sexy. She better be prepared to be complimented and hit on by men of all sorts.

Including ones she will call
“Creeps” or “perverts”

A1513 · Answer

It depends, In the last few years I've preferred seeing women in dresses because there are so many unique and ornate designs. To me it is better to see a woman and be able to appreciate not just her body, but the clothes that hide it. That way the man is never bored.

vlx-na · Answer

The thing is, it's surely visually appealing.
But at the same time I disagree with any notions that it's somehow "empowering" or "they do it just for themselves". It's quite obvious that this is an attention magnet and there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you're honest about it.

LittleCloud9 · Answer

Coming from me, since I am a girl myself, I personally enjoy wearing shorts and crop tops. In short, a woman’s fashion style shouldn’t be judged. As long as she herself is content.

DonCachondo · Answer

If you've grown up with any Latin background like I have, this would seem like pretty basic stuff to you. Americans freak out over the human body because they're sexually repressed and taught to feel disgust over anything that could be construed as sexual. It would be really sad if they weren't so damn sanctimonious about it and trying to control everybody's business!

VOCWIC · Answer

I have seen too many <18 girls in reveali g clothes and it made me hate it. It is gross and a bad cultural habit we have taken in western society. Bothing wrong with a girl who walks with her stuff covered (i think it is even hotter so i might be biased).

AnnT0117 · Answer

For me personally, I prefer not to wear revealing clothes. I don't like guys staring at me from the top to the bottom. It creeps me out. I prefer to wear covering clothes. It gives guys mystery. Also, I believe that only your husband should be able to see the goods. But that's just me.

I voted yes, but you should have seem women in the 1970's! It's not a new thing.
