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?

[ava00]

Yes

Don’t think about it

No

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

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.

[Gisellegetstheguy]

You pretty much can only assume to know how women think. I’ll tell you right now that you’re wrong. It’s called fashion and it looks good. We don’t think about men the amount of time that men think about women and impressing us 🤭

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

@Gisellegetstheguy well that could be the case, but if a girl turns to her boyfriend one night and declares "in the name of fashion, I will go to the club with my girlfriends dressed in a skin tight mini skirt and tits all but popping out of a flimsy strip of fabric that just barely passes for clothing", then her boyfriend would be an idiot not to read into her actual intentions.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

The very notion of "fashion" is closely tied into a bunch of subconscious drives and unspoken motivations. It's no accident that what's "fashionable" also just happens to ne what elicits the maximal amount of sexual attention from the opposite sex. Just take makeup for instance. In nature a woman shows fertility and sexual receptiveness by subconsciously flushing her cheeks. So makeup manufacturers recreate this by selling rouge makeup to make cheeks appear permanently "flushed". The best selling lipsticks are reds and pinks, because that's what emulates the appearance of healthy bloodflow to the erogenous zone associated most closely with early-stage sexual contact (ie: kissing). What you call "fashion" didn't just embody these properties by accident or happenstance, it's all quite intentional, even if the wearer doesn't consciously realise it.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

As @Danny_dan92 puts it:

"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."

By all means, you can wear what you want and say its all in the name of fashion. But let's not pretend that dressing a certain way won't elicit a certain response from the opposite sex. Showing a lot of skin is a form of sexual advertisement, just like grinding your ass on a guy in the club is a sexual advertisement. Such advertising is bound to have an equal and opposite consequence. It will make for a very jealous boyfriend, and a bunch of sexually aggressive male attention. So I'm just saying, let's be realistic. I don't wanna force women to all wear burkas and shit. Do what the fuck you want. But your actions can effect those around you, and ignoring those reactions in the name of "expressing yourself" is a great way to tank the trust you built up in a relationship.

[Gisellegetstheguy]

It’s still pretty much fashion. The fact that men get turned on by it, is none of our business. What it does mean though is that men think more about women than we think about them. You made that clear.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

@Gisellegetstheguy well it's all a matter of intent. If she's out LOOKING for the male attention, then skimpy tight clothing is a good clue of her intentions. If she's just wanting to look sexy for her own internal feeling of embodied sex appeal-- but actually doesn't want male sexual attention and is committed to her boyfriend-- well, then that's something she and her fella need to discuss ahead of time, so as to avoid misunderstandings. My point is that when these things are not communicated in the open, it's easy to form conclusions from what's observed, and those conclusions may not bode well for an established relationship. Its just open and transparent communication.

[chris0977]

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]

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]

🗣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.💁🏽‍♀️

[MillieBrunette]

Ew this is rubbish.

[ShyKI]

It's my opinion babe, move along 💁🏽‍♀️😘

[Monicaa7690]

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

[stevven235]

Its kinda weird, right? how everyone feels so comfortable showing off everything about their body

[The6ix]

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]

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.

[Unit1]

Yay! Someone gets it!

[SomeBlondeChick]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

[Akachan]

"Women who do that don't care how they affect men, it's not very kind" ok and it's their bodies, no one should have to change to make someone else feel comfortable/better.

[LovingLover]

@Akachan the question asked for my opinion and why. I never said anybodyshould anything. I was stating facts. And I made sure to use the word "some"... sure everyone has the choice to be virtuous, considerate or not.

[LovingLover]

@Akachan just i don't think you ever complain about the world being bad, because it's inconsiderate or selfish people who make it like that.

[LovingLover]

These same people be hurt when someone steals their man

[LovingLover]

@Akachan You can do your own research. Just like you have free will to reply. I have free will to remove comments I don't want to see

[LovingLover]

@Akachan surprise.

[ettubrutus]

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.

[CCKITTY]

Meanwhile there’s me who’s 18 and looks like. 12 year old😂😂

[Eggplant29]

Yes you are exactly right. 14 yo girls dressing like 16, 16 as 18 etc. It's always revealing and sexualised above every other style.

[jahaims]

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]

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]

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]

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.

[Tndd13]

You should do it! If we guys can...

[itsjustlew]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.
