Do you dress to attract the opposite gender?

Question

I think before marriage and while i was looking for a a boyfriend... Yes, sometimes.

StephenCF · Accepted Answer

I dress to impress myself and others, regardless of gender 🎩👔🕺 It’s only an added bonus when girls turn their heads my way (and sometimes wink) 😍😏

AlexanderAnttila · Accepted Answer

I dress in what I find to be attractive, and in turn I do desire to attract the opposite gender.

AmandaYVR · Answer

Same here, what you said. Before marriage, sometimes I did (usually at night, in a club or social setting), but for the most part, and since I've been married, I rarely show my chest or figure-hugging stuff or think of how to make myself look sexually attractive. I dress to look nice, be approachable, have style, but it's just a general sort of thing, and not directed at any particular type of person or sex.

I used to sometimes show my body more when going out with my husband, but he gave no reaction when I emerged, dressed, and we just spoke about this recently and he told me the reason was that while he didn't feel it was at all his place to influence me or tell me anything about how I should dress (smart man), he did feel a bit intimidated, sort of like, "Oh now this is going to attract all these eyes on us. I'm not entirely comfortable with that attention. But oh well." Apparently he saw the guys' eyes a lot.

He has since decided it might be more fun to watch, and see it more as, "Yep, she's mine, I landed her." and then just appreciate the eyes. But because he had almost zero reaction, I eventually lost the desire to do it; that, and I was always too critical of my body, even in the prime years, and I don't know, I feel scraggly now. So yeah, girls should appreciate what they have in their 20s and although don't dress like a hooker or anything, chances are it's the best you'll look, and there's no point berating yourself for your flaws. Guys usually don't even notice them, or judge them as harshly as we do.

Kaazsz · Answer

I try to dress in what I like. And what I like is too damn expensive lol.

Of course I want to look good to women. So in that sense, I stay somewhat aware of male fashion. And like, I like that shit anyways. It’s exciting and fun to see these nice clothes and to see the wide range of styles and identify what I like and don’t like. It feels good to dress well. It feels good to think girls are liking what I’m wearing.

I also have struggled with a lot of shame. I grew up very poor and socially isolated, so for a long time I had a horrible self image. And even though I wanted to dress well, I felt ashamed to do it. And after I built up some muscle and such, I felt ashamed that people could see it through my clothes especially if I was wearing something nice. So for a while I dressed like a bum just to cover up the muscle I built because I felt like a piece of shit and also because the extra attention I was getting was fucking with my anxiety.

But overall, ideally, I would dress 100% how I like with nice fresh stylish clothes that I really like and can identify with. It’s just a matter of me feeling comfortable in those clothes and not feeling like an imposter or something due to the deep rooted self loathing I have from my childhood.

But for real I want these hoes to think I look good =D

SnowyOwl · Answer

I don't know anymore, Hahaha. I just dress with what makes me feel good. Sometimes that's oversized everything. A lot of times I like black skinny jeans, I think they look sleek. I like plain colors rather than patters. I really dress for myself, but I know I often drag attention to Myself and that's because I dress differently than everyone around me.

I like very bright colors (other than the black jeans) so there's always people looking at me in the street. I also like to do a very simple make up look (korean style, barely there, not like the western extravaganza). So I do aim to look adorable according to my standards, and that just turns out to be attractive to the other gender. And I'm ok with that, haha. It's good to be appreciated for being yourself ♡

I would like to keep this up always because I believe how you present yourself can reinforce your confidence (not that you need to dress good to be confident) , and it's a way of self expression too

I think dressing nicely is a way of celebrating life. Dress up as much as you can, because very day is a gift! ♡

TruthBringer · Answer

I dress to impress others in a sense to project what I am. Professionalism. When people look at me, it will reflect on how they treat me. People treat me differently when I wear something neat/professional compared to when I go in sweatpants and a T. And being an Officer, I am required to be in uniform whenever I'm on duty or in class.

The only time I wear something comfortable is when I have to quickly go to the grocieries or something.

People who say they dress to impress themselves are full of shit (yes I said it). We feel better about ourselves when people look at us in a positive way. And often, this is achieved with the way you present yourself to society. Hence why the majority of women enhance their looks through make up (to look better). And men do it through grooming and building muscles.

GoodManDave · Answer

Sometimes. More than usual, I just try to dress in something I think looks good/ slick/ professional... and if I look good to impress women, great... but while I sometimes try to dress to impress, I full on know that women will usually think I look horrible anyway, no matter what I do. So it’s usually moot. So I dress and have clothes for practicality (weather, etc), for fun, for comfort, and what I think looks nice/appropriate.

Lycirian · Answer

I dressed like I felt comfortable. Not everybody liked it because it was more soorts like but I gave a damn about it. My wife accepted me like I was then we married and now when we go out together I dress up. I never dressed up for nobody but for her hell yeah I do.

Billyscotter · Answer

Not lately. I'm a contractor. I dress for functionality and comfort, and clothes that won't break my heart if I ruin. When I've worked in office type environments, I've dressed in smartly fitting clothes. If I happen to be working around someone whom I think it's a total hottie, I might focus more on how I dress and groom. Working in construction, I don't care though

flamiE · Answer

I dress to be comfortable in my skin.. dress to impress is silly to me, plus all times when guys have approached me I looked kinda rough 😅 so I don’t know if it’s even worth it.. I think it’s me being comfy, therefore confident cause the clothes don’t make me uncomfortable is what does it for them and not necessarily what I’m wearing..

Makeushiver · Answer

Yeah, I do but I wouldn't have a clue except for some random but much appreciated comments by women. Whenever I wore a turquoise shirt or something light blue I would get complimented by women some of who pointed out that those colors happen to complement my blue/green eyes. I've actually developed a too little, too late sense of fashion thanks to the advice of women

Kaneki05 · Answer

No? i just dress in what feels comfortable to me. And well to me guys don't have comfortable clothes that look good so it would be impossible to be so. If i was a girl though i would find leggings comfortable and there quite attractive on girls so then it would be do able while been comfortable.

MCheetah · Answer

No. Four days a week, I'm wearing black slacks, a white button up, and some kind of tie for work. On Fridays, it's no tie, a polo shirt, and khakis. On Saturdays, I dress in jeans and a t-shirt. And on Sundays, I try not to leave the house and just sleep (or masturbate) so I probably won't be dressed at all.

Oigit · Answer

I do not. I wear jeans, band t-shirts and boots. The day I wear a suit is probably going to be the same day I get put in the ground. Though I have to say that I prefer women who leave something to the imagination when they dress to attract the opposite gender. I have a very active imagination and when I can pretty much see everything right off the bat, I get kind of board. Leave something to my imagination you a guaranteed to peak my interest.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Most of the time, I am dressed to project a professional image. Of course, after hours, I am a bit more casual, but I may encounter a client while I am out in the community, so I always dressed to appear professional.

Jjpayne · Answer

I'd like to aim for that 🤔 but for me, I love my graphic tees and blue jeans. I know girls probably want khaki pants and sweaters 😂 that's probably why girls don't come up to me 😂

Bidensucks2020 · Answer

You have to look your best to get a guy interested, then your personality keeps him , then you get married. I really think if you "don't try " on the looks, you are going to strike out. If you don't want to marry , you won't keep a guy very long.

Mellifluous_ · Answer

Not at all. Right now, the last thing I want to do is to try and attract men. I wear whatever I feel comfortable in. Which consists mostly of loose shorts and baggy shirts.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Nope not really most days it's cowboy boots, plain coloured t-shirt and or a plaid button down with the sleeves rolled up and jeans, belt and a baseball cap on and off.

That's more or less my everyday look.

SaraSmithishere · Answer

No, I don't. Plus, not to sound cliche, but the person will like you for, not for the outfit you're wearing. Plus, if you dress like Kim Kardashian circa 2010 at the bar and you're more like a jeans and tee shirt kind of girl, the guy will just get dissapointed when he finds out you're not a sex pot all the time.

Ash525 · Answer

People say they don't but nobody completely dresses for themselves unless they really don't care 😂
If people dressed for themselves then they wouldn't wear all those uncomfortable AND revealing looking clothes all the time they left the house... If you're only dressing for yourself then go out the house wearing what u had on inside the house as well😂😂😂
I know some people do that but IJS... Most people dress to impress and there's nothing wrong with admitting to it...

Dreamy2020 · Answer

Not really. I love fashion. But I do dress up for my man. Love when he looks at me with a certain look ;)

ThisIsMyOpinion · Answer

Yes I do sometimes. Anyone who says they never do it are lying. We might not do it every day, but we all do it sometimes.

worldscolide · Answer

I use to, Rarely now, im married, so when i go out i like to look good for my wife, but beyond that i just dont care..

The people that say they never dress for the opposite sex though are just lying to them selves.

evangeline777 · Answer

This year, with the lockdowns I only dress to not to be naked :D
Also, as I'm not looking at the moment, I couldn't care less.
Otherwise, I dress for myself as I know when I feel good in my skin, I will be more attractive.

tartaarsaus · Answer

I dress for comfort, hence I wear sweatpants and comfort. Attracting the opposite gender is by a long way not one of my priorities right now. I’m probably emigrating next year anyway.

leahzrc · Answer

i dress hot because if i didn't i wouldn't be motivated to stay hot

DocT1977 · Answer

No. I wear what is comfortable to me. I quit caring about what others think about me a long time ago. Have any idea how liberating that is?

imlost_gb · Answer

nah, I'll go out in pjs or convert a dress into a top for a day for myself. I got over the whole "dress to impress" after like 5 years maybe? If people are gonna love or hate what you wear I rather do it for myself yk?

Torari · Answer

Yes. I don't go out of my way, but my clothes fit and have some thought out into them. I will definitely roll up my sleeves to show off my deadlift forearms if I see a cute girl enter the room.

LEETSBEREAL · Answer

I dress for no one but myself. IDGAF about the opposite gender

JaneDoe377 · Answer

I wear what's comfortable to me. If a guy doesn't like it, i don't really care.

menina · Answer

I don't because I don't want to attract the opposite gender. Plus, I think people should dress for themselves with whatever makes them feel comfortable and confident.

LittleTurtleDuck · Answer

I don't dress to attract the opposite gender I dress for comfort and to be warm and because it is not socially acceptable to be nude all the time 🤷🏼‍♀️

Browneye57 · Answer

Silly. All fashion and beauty products are to attract men. If it didn't, they wouldn't make it, and women wouldn't use it or wear it.
How can you argue with a highly successful multi-billion dollar industry?

Aakash_Hangargi · Answer

Nope never did I ever do that.

I was the weird guy with no fashion sense
With somewhat big butt in comparison to other boys 😂😂😂.

I still have it but now it's reduced considerably 😭🤣🤣😅

PeytonVB · Answer

I mainly dress to look good for myself. But I want to look good not only for me but for the opposite sex too.

thehorriblesheikh · Answer

Yes, I do that almost all of the time, but my level of comfort matters as well.

roody · Answer

Not really, I dress in what I like, which is a lot of black... if I was tryna impress someone I’d show up in some pink dresses or some shit like that

EllieEmma99 · Answer

Not really. Did at one point, but then I just dressed in what I found comfortable... if I dress up it is for work, not to get a date.

The_Outlaw · Answer

Nah, I dress to keep 'em away. Weeds out the undesirables :)

InferiorElegy · Answer

At one time maybe, but it didn't work for me so now I dress just to feel comfortable, no matter what that is.

fonduegirl · Answer

Not at all. I value comfort above everything. Which explains why I'm single.

Account · Answer

No. If I dressed to attract, I'd have a completely different style than the one I have.

dwiller943 · Answer

I dress to best express myself while also hoping to attract myself in another person if I were to randomly run into said person.

edmonton · Answer

yes I do. I put on things that look nice on me for everyone around me to see, but also with the opposite gender in mind

Don-_-Don · Answer

No, I will never dress for that specific reason. The way I dress is just me showing off my type of style in clothing and whatever.

Truthatanycost · Answer

I dress for comfort, but my bulging muscles seem to do that.

themythos · Answer

Yes. When im out, looking attractive could benifit me and is great for self confidence.

username1580 · Answer

yes sometime yes , maybe in special occasions , but usually nop i try to be myself

fashionguy17 · Answer

Nope! I dress for myself. I enjoy fashion. If someone of the opposite sex likes my style, that's a plus.

douride2 · Answer

I would say yes I do sometimes. Apparently my friends would say a little more often then I think I do.

jamesgoldman · Answer

I dress to either hide in plain sight in my day to day attire  Or dress for eccentricity when I get out my finery

no_leaf_clover_3 · Answer

Generally no. But if I'm interested in a guy, I do it.

Liam_Hayden · Answer

No, I wear what I like. If she doesn't like me as I am that is fine. I wouldn't want to waste my time anyway.
