Do you think that women wear revealing clothes to get attention from men?

Question

I do not wear revealing clothes, that kind of clothes just make me uncomfortable, but I don't know why do other women wear it.

vishna · Accepted Answer

I have nice breasts, nice hips, and a cute ass-I know my body looks nice in certain clothes. Wearing those clothes makes me feel hot.

I have been single, taken, recently broken up, it's complicated, and I still wear my clothes that make me feel hot.

Additionally, sometimes I only have functionality in mind but it still looks 'revealing' because of the cut, fabric, or the fact that I have ass and nice breasts. ex) It's hot and humid, I wear a t shirt dress or a skirt to not sweat to death-ooooooh revealing. I wear yoga or athletic pants to work out in-ooooooh male attention

Do some women wear clothes to get male attention, oh, I'm sure. This one doesn't.

So far 50% of guys in this poll say women wear 'revealing' clothes for male attention, yet most of the guys on here don't date, so, where would they get that idea? I'm genuinely confused?

I used to but because I was experimenting not because I wanted attention...

It's easy for me to wear clothes and to look sexy vs a girl with no curves, so it wasn't always a desired effect, actually not at all... What I mean by this is tops with a small V neck line drew attention to my boobs much more than the regular girl. I'm petite but womanly so it draws attention whatever I wear... I have nice legs too and have sadly been confronted to sick fucks who would masturbate publicly in front of me although I was wearing pants... It's as from that point that I started dressing more conservatively even though I still get bothered...

I think it's part of female development to experiment with heels, sexy outfits and so on... If she wants to show off then that's just more for me to watch. What's more attractive than a confident sexy woman?

Growing up with 3 sisters, and a huge clan of cousins, it's my experience that girls mostly dress up as a way of socializing with other women. Yes, yes, yes, more revealing clothes do get the attention of men but I've found if a guy has the hots for you it doesn't really matter much what you wear. The same doesn't hold true among girls. We're pretty conscious of how we dress, the physical condition of our bodies, and our ability to "look pretty." My best advice is to hang with a tribe of friends who are supportive of you and then help or support your friends in the "fashion" department. Don't worry about "revealing" as much as help on matching styles that are compatible with your body type and sense of self.

I think some do. I think others do it to feel good about themselves and some do it to show off to other women.

The thing is though that no matter the reason why they do it, the result is that they get attention from men. That might not be what they're trying to do but that's what happens.

That sometimes creates stress in relationships because many guys don't want their gf/wife wearing those kind of clothes. The women sometimes get upset because they feel they should be able to since they aren't doing it with the intention of attracting other men and feel like their guy is trying to control them, but guys know how guys think and know that revealing clothing WILL attract attention from guys even if that's not the intent and so it hurts them when their gf/wife wears it.

My answer is maybe for a number of reasons
1. It’s a bold face lie if anyone claims that 0% of women dress up to impress men
2. If you’ve ever met a lesbian you’d know that the opposite is equally untrue.
3. The last option about weak/easy women being the only women that wear such clothes is the only really debatable point here. And honestly this isn’t really a point about the intentions motivating behavior but rather an indicator of a person’s personal belief systems. One could argue that those that wear to much clothing are actually cowards and insecure since your ancestors lived perfectly fine without clothing for years. So I say no women wear clothing for a diversity of reasons. Some are related to men but many are not

ThisDudeHere · Answer

That and to compete with other women.

HawkPerception · Answer

Of course they do. Whether they admit it or not, women don't dress that way for themselves. It's to get attention from others. There are more comfortable clothes out there. And during colder days, there are warmer clothes. They just want to show off their bodies and hope men either approach or give them validation through looking. Even if they say "EWWW GET AWAY FROM ME" when a guy does approach them. If they truly did not want attention, they would dress appropriately. The same way you do for every scenario in your life. If you want to get a job, you dress appropriately. If you're meeting your partner's parents, you dress conservatively so you don't come across as a slut for attention.

kitty71 · Answer

For me I believe is to get attention from men. If I wear some nice clothes I dotn wear them for other women to look at me, I could even care if they look at me or not. If I do it is for the guys, im not interested in a women seeing me at all. I dotn give a ratz about women.

VaIiant · Answer

I’ve definitely done it. I know a lot of women deny it, but I’ve done it when I go on dates or back in high school when I liked a guy. Most of the time though I dress for myself- I like clothes that make me confident, and I’m more confident in a form fitting shirt and jeans then baggy sweats. I would hope the same applies to any self respecting woman—there’s a difference between dressing like a low class prostitute and sexy. I think all women should know it.

Bliss-taylor · Answer

Yes and no. No because some of the cutest clothes are at least a little revealing. (Crop tops/rompers/sumer dresses) Just because we liked the shirt and wore it doesn't mean we wore it with the intention to recieve attention. But if she's letting it all hang out then yes. Don't let her lie and say she's doing it all for herself. Lmao

Darklydarkened · Answer

They wear it because if you have a body to carry it, it looks awesome.

Women wear things for themselves. Besides, why do some people wonder whether women wear clothes for attention? Men sometimes do such things as well, nobody even notices it, though

skytatoe · Answer

Yes, of course. And from other girls too. Not just men. They want to be noticed and have people compliment their sense of style / clothing / body / whatever... And they also do it for themselves, to look in the mirror and be like "wow I'm hot" and feel good.

Tauntingthunder · Answer

Ok... think from your precpective... I am a guy so i will say from mine...
I wake up in the morning for a day out... I had good build... but for few days i grew some abdomen fat... So i chose a medium fit shirt that does make my body look good... its not like that i woke up and did a blueprint about my body... calculated possibilities to attract the girls then wore the shirt... it's just my subconscious mind says to wear them... its my subconsciousness, which says me to wear a medium fit shirt. So when a girl with good builds (if she thinks its good) she would pick the dress that evaluates her whole personality. And if you think she is dressing as a whore, she is thinking you as an old nun. Everything is relative. So feel confident. If you are a jewel another jewel will find you for sure. Just don't hurt others.

confused_person · Answer

Hmmmm I guess we all dress up for different reasons. I don’t dress to impress men. I don’t think it’s fun to just wear tshirt and jeans to a club/bar, same for party. I just have to glam up with them clothes for the vibe. It’s mostly for the fun and for myself xD

AndyOh · Answer

Most women know damn well just how much attention they will get depending on what they wear.
Ask any gal who is at a night club and showing cleavage and leg.
I also think that women do have a little part in them that does want to compete with other women to see who looks better.

MyGenderIsAlien · Answer

I like clothes more than sex. I wear clothes because I like them. I dont give a flying shit about the 78 year old creep who has to stare at me. I wish men would wear anything other than baggy jeans and T-shirts so they could get asked these stupid questions. Basic dudes not understanding how anything could not be about thier dick.

alice55 · Answer

Yes, women wear revealing clothes to get attention from men. In my country women wear revealing clothes because they want to feel sexy, have guy complimenting them, staring at them, it make them confident.
And they do it even if they're married and with child.

nojokecarmichael · Answer

Depends on the woman, some do and some don't. Women don't need the approval of some man nor do they have to/want to dress more modestly just because some man thinks they should. Only weak minded, insecure women let men dictate what them and other women should wear and talk badly about the women that choose to dress like that

herguy · Answer

Yes and no. I think it's more about how it makes THEM feel. My girl doesn't normally dress revealing, but when she does it clearly makes her feel more sexy, and she's definitely more aware of guys checking her out when she does. So I think it's a bit of both. After all, attracting the opposite sex makes you feel good right? Even if you're not looking for anything, it's always nice to be noticed.

love_conquers_lust · Answer

How the hell are we supposed to know what goes through every girl's head?

Will it get my attention? Most likely, yes. Don't abuse the privilege. If you don't want the attention, be mature, responsible, and exercise discretion. Doesn't really speak to the depth of a girl's character or intellect if she has to resort to that to get attention anyway. Cover up.

Anonymous · Answer

a lot of younger women here seem to be doing this , not sure why and not sure they want attention from people like myself so not sure who they wanted to notice that there top was more revealing then normal.

its possible there doing it cause other girls are doing it and they just feel more comfortable in such clothing.

some specifically like to wear tops that reveal there belly buttons but then don't seem to like it much when men notice

Jackblue · Answer

Every woman is different. I don't think think that any woman wears such clothing to appeal to all men, but I think some might be attempting to appeal to one or maybe two particular men. Most women probably just dress like that because they want to show off how fit they are and stuff.

Kawabanga1 · Answer

My friend asked a couple girls once why they are wearing mini skirts when its freezing outside, he knew they were freezing and do you know what they answered? "To look hot for the guys"

any man or woman who denies that women wanna get attention from men are simply too naive

I_Do_Mind · Answer

A lot of the time, but sometimes we just want to feel beautiful to ourselves. If I feel self conscious one day I will deck out in my best attire the next to assure myself that I am beautiful and amazing and I have no reason to doubt yourself.

azzntittiz · Answer

A lot of them do it for that reason even though they will say the opposite. Some do it because they like how they look in it, or feel comfortable that way. I feel better covered up outside and naked inside my house.

Pink934 · Answer

Absolutely. If I'm modestly dressed, some guys look at me. If I'm wearing something that hugs my body in the right places I get most men's attention without even trying.

whackedout101 · Answer

I think it's like 60% trying to attract other men and 40% trying to get compliments from other women. I don't know if it's compete. But sometimes even getting a compliment from another girl does the job for a good self-esteem boost.

AD240pCharlie · Answer

The women who always need to make sure that everyone knows that "I dress like this for myself, not for others" are the ones who definitely do it for attention.

WildButterfly · Answer

Some do and some don't. Some guys think ALL women do it to get their attention but that's not true at all. Sometimes I'll wear a cute mini dress so that I can feel confident & sexy about myself

Pamina · Answer

As with most things, the answer is not black and white. Some do more than others. Sometimes a woman has that in mind particularly, and sometimes not (although then she's at least aware of its effect).

Kelliecoxs · Answer

I wear them as they are sexy and i feel good and if guys wana look i dont mind and girls will be like slut and il be like ok you boring cunt x

lumos · Answer

Depends on the woman. Some treat revealing clothes like how ”normal” girls treat jeans and hoodies; they like it and thinks it’s comfortable.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

There are other reasons why I would.   a. I live in a beach resort island.   b. It's always hot where I live.   c. It pleases my boyfriend.

clampfan101 · Answer

I assume sometimes,(most likely often), but not always. They’re probably more comfortable when they’re not skin tight.
My question is why women get mad at men for staring at them because of their clothes. They’re the ones who put them on.

Aceria · Answer

I think some do. I can get a kick out of wearing something I myself find sexy and knowing that other people find me sexy. Mostly I just enjoy comfy clothes though.

SirRexington · Answer

They are doing it to prove to themselves and others that they are attractive, it's the sole purpose of wearing those revealing clothes to show off what you got.

So yes, it is to attract men. In a roundabout way.

themetalhead · Answer

a lot of times its because they want guys' attention. but it could be for other reasons as well. like you, I don't wear revealing clothes much. I'm just the one with shirts, jeans and sneakers.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes but women will lie about this till they are blue in the face.

kittycat119 · Answer

Of course that and they wanna compete with other women on who can look the best and get the most looks from men.

bang678 · Answer

I wear what makes me feel good/confident, it has nothing to do with anyone else. Some days its a short skirt and some days its a pair of sweat pants.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Any woman that wants attention from me is by having some cool sneakers and she starts a conversation by saying Hi. Nothing more , nothing less.

rjroy3 · Answer

Obviously. It's usually twofold, look hot for guys and look hotter than other girls

Kimreed · Answer

depends on the women and situation. Yes sometimes to make an ex jealous or cute guy to notice you, but also it could be just because theyre confident and like their outfit

MrMysteryMan · Answer

Of course, unless it's a hot climate or something culturally normal, why else would someone be dressed provocatively or in revealing clothes?

LadyAvon · Answer

If a woman has high self esteem it's for herself and her own expression. If she has low self esteem she dresses for others regardless of whether the clothes are revealing or modest.

Anonymous · Answer

''We wear it for ourselves'' = the biggest crock of shit women keep on telling themselves, and everyone else. But everyone and their pet Dog knows this is utter bs... but you keep telling yourself that.

Anonymous · Answer

I don’t wear revealing clothes but my friends do and they say it just makes them feel confident and that they are not necessarily seeking attention but are wearing it for there own self confidence and to make them feel like a boss

aestheticsofty · Answer

Girls wear it for multiple reasons. Yes, sometimes it’s for men.

CubsterShura · Answer

Some simply believe that they shouldn't cover themselves men should improve their mentality.

9teen · Answer

I think they do but both genders.  To only feel confident is nothing but an excuse. You need a response to feel a certain way by what you chose.

Lovemycountryboy7778 · Answer

Yes women do it.. Some women don't do it though  .

WickedIsGood · Answer

Smh there's pretty much ONLY revealing clothes. "Oh, this is a cute sweater! Oh.. yup... its a crop top."

bellybuttonlint · Answer

Yes, I think so. Is it the only reason? Probably not but it's definitely the top or one of the top reasons.

Pinay_ako · Answer

Women wear revealing clothes because they can and to flaunt the goods and also for themselves.

Anonymous · Answer

I think women love being as naked as possible. I think it's hardwired in their brains. It gets them the kind of attention necessary for human procreation. lol

FatherJack · Answer

No definitely not !! Women dress for other women / themselves. Most women get more than enough male attention anyway and most do not want any more !!

Shaft50 · Answer

What if the type of clothing women wear just happen to get attention from men...

ParSha · Answer

I think every girl has her own opinion. Some wear it to be comfortable, to look good or they just like it and some may wear it to get attention from men which I think every gender likes to get attention from their counter gender.

GinaTina · Answer

Filipe97 · Answer

Yes. The day I see a woman dressed up and with makeup on at home alone I will believe she "does it for herself". Until then I'm not buying it
