Why should the way I dress have any consequences?

[DeborahRobinson]

[Keyboardkat]

Because you live in a world where the human race is divided into two genders, male and female. And men are extremely, extraordinarily attracted to women, and find the sights and sounds of women attractive and exciting. You can't help it. You're a woman. Men are going to desire you. That doesn't mean we guys are all out-of-control animals. But we do have certain feelings and desires. Therefore, unfortunately, you need to be at least somewhat conscious of the message you're sending about yourself by the way you dress in public. In private, with a man you really love, and who really loves you, anything goes, and it's fine. But there are certain boundaries in life. The rest of the world shouldn't get to see what only he should be privileged to see.

Well let's see if you were to wear shorts or short skirt and it's those two feet are you wear the same thing in your car breaks down I say where would you like wear what you feel comfortable in and if it's snowing outside put some extra clothes in your car

[DeborahRobinson]

I wear backless crop tops

[ohshee]

Lol i. not sure what that is I'm sure I probably seen them before

[ohshee]

So what's wrong with those anyway why is there consequences

[DeborahRobinson]

My midriff is never covered
My shoulders are never covered
My arms are never covered
My belly button is never covered
My back is never covered

[DeborahRobinson]

And I wouldn't cover any of these parts even if it snowed

[Mynameisbobby]

You don't get cold in the winter?

[DeborahRobinson]

@Mynameisbobby so what?

[Mynameisbobby]

Was just asking if you get cold in the winter is all.

[DeborahRobinson]

@Mynameisbobby cold cannot force me to cover up

[Chiarac2003]

Simply put… sexually, it shouldn’t… but realistically of course there is. If I decide to wear my heals n short skirt etc to work with the horses …. The consequences are I’ve ruined a good pair of shoes.. lol.

[LazerBean]

Everything everyone does has the potential for consequences. You way the reasonable pros and cons and decide of it's worth it or not, then live with the outcome.

[slatyb]

Consequences like what? Your manner of dress is inevitably going to result in varying impressions on the people you meet.

[Sixgunsound]

It really shouldn’t as long as you have enough on to avoid the law.

[DeborahRobinson]

Is a backless crop top enough?

[Sixgunsound]

We’ve talked about this already; ultimately if you can avoid the law everything else is up to you, but I will tell you that men respect, take more seriously, and stick around longer for a woman who looks like she respects herself more than a woman who looks like she’s showing off her wares, no matter which of those statements are true. When you are in a relationship a certain amount of tasteful showing off can be seen by some men as making other men jealous, but leaving nothing whatsoever to the imagination implies a lack of self respect or thinking that is the only thing you have to offer anyone in life. A woman who has the appearance of someone who is the village bicycle, even if she’s on her way to take her vows at convent, will be looked at as a bad investment. Someone to bring home for a night of fun, but not someone to keep coming hone to.

[DeborahRobinson]

I lack self respect?

[Sixgunsound]

I have no way of knowing whether you do or don’t, neither does someone who sees you on the street dressed like that. It makes certain implications, especially in such a visually oriented society. That may be hard to break free of if you can’t get anybody to give you a chance, and most men who are looking to make an investment in someone of a long-term nature not an overnight nature, are looking for someone who carries themself a certain way. As in all things, you obviously have a choice, but that choice is between which impressions you’re trying to give to people you want to pay attention to you or to avoid paying attention to you.

[jshm2]

Because you chose to wear it, and the law, society and culture has rules and regulations around it.

[DeborahRobinson]

Rules at stupid

[NamerOfStars]

For the same reason the way you syeak does. Would you prefer to be treated like a child?

[Blaine999]

It shouldn't, you wear what you want to wear. Damn what anyone else thinks

[jahaims]

Everything action has a consequence.
