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

[Sublimity]

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.

Yes, women wear revealing clothes to get attention from men.

Maybe, depends on the woman.

No, women don't wear revealing clothes to get attention from men.

Only 'easy' women/women with weak character wear such clothes.

[vishna]

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?

[Kawabanga1]

from women themselves, if you walk around and ask women like a lot of guys do they will admit that they wear it for attention its not rocket science really (i did date by the way )

[vishna]

@Kawabanga1 And it's not rocket science that not every woman is the same. Do you think I'm thinking about a dick when I put on a shirt? hell no. I don't want some ugly ass thirsty dude coming up to me just because I look nice. If a girl is trying to get a man, cool. But not everyone is on the market or wants a man.
(I haven't been single much since I was 17, that doesn't mean I dress like a nun? no, I have a nice body and I want to dress up my body)

[Kawabanga1]

and you will get attention for what you dress, you can never change that no matter how much you complain, you can easily find outfits that are nice and not revealing i see women with great bodies doing it all the time, if you choose to be half naked thats your problem.

as for women being the same, men really dont care, we care about the majority of women , if the majority want something thats all we care about the reminaing 10-20% mean nothing to us.

[vishna]

@Kawabanga1 If someone looks, that's cool, they aren't bothering me, I'm taken, so, often if I'm dressed up I'm going somewhere with my boyfriend in which case, I wouldn't be approached bc I'm with him. Also, I never said I was half naked. It's more like the links below. The body does most of the work.

The question isn't about a man's opinion, the question is about a woman's opinion. I'm telling you why I wear the clothes I do.
It's not a problem for me to dress however I want to.
"as for women being the same, men really dont care, we care about the majority of women , if the majority want something thats all we care about the reminaing 10-20% mean nothing to us." I don't understand?

[Kawabanga1]

the first two dresses are good the rest are very reavealing and may i add kinda slutty.
with your boyfriend no man will approach you but alone you will get more than some looks.

as for my statement, you see women care about the details of everything, men dont, men generalise, if most women like dresses then all women like dresses, if most women like beer then all women like beer, even if we do meet one that doesn't like beer she is still irrelevant since the majority of women do like beer.

thats how men do it and it won't change soon, its just how men are built, we try covering all the possibilities so for most of us passing with an 80% is far more important than focusing on the remaining 20%

[vishna]

@Kawabanga1 Trust me, I've experienced it all with cleavage and without. I don't have to be in a tank top to get random guys come up to me.
In regards to the last two paragraphs, that's in 'interesting way of thinking... I would think when trying to get a woman, a man would take her personal preferences into play? I've never had a guy disregard my likes and dislikes or do something like "I got you this bc most women like them and I don't care if you don't" hmmm? Are you going for a one night stand approach where knowing about a woman doesn't matter?

[Kawabanga1]

when he's investing more and more into her its just natural to learn stuff about her so at some point the man will know a lot about her no matter what he does.
In all honesty as a guy i had to face fake girls, manipulative ones, girls that tried stringing me along and other not so truthful girls, so caring way too much about one girl and trying to understand her and knowing her likes and dislikes before i am a 100% sure its gonna result in something meaningful is kinda wasting time... i do differ from most men in that i care about details, i notice things that go unnoticed by other men but even i find it kinda a waste of time to give too much time to a girl before understanding what she wants from me, so overall most men i know just go by what most women like it saves us time, headache and being right 7/10 of the times is the better choice lol

[Kawabanga1]

I know how this sounds, i really do it feels to women that men are rather dumb, ignorant and dont care about them but its the opposite really.. its just that we had to adapt, even the hottest men get rejected more than the average girl, not to mention the silly excuses some women give to not dating some men, so we simply had to adapt and find a way to filter women and make out interactions with them easier and more effecient , as a result we generalize... and you may not believe me when i say this, but in my case at least i have never been wrong about a girl and rarely get it wrong... can't say the same about all men though not all share this talent

[vishna]

@Kawabanga1 ok, fair enough. A man's gotta protect his heart.

[Kawabanga1]

its getting harder and harder every day, the last 4 girls i ran into who have shown interest and wanted something from me turned out taken.

[Vuduchild]

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?

[annie616pop]

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.

[CallMeDave]

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.

[Dawsonwc]

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]

That and to compete with other women.

[Douma]

Yes indeed. Good one. I did not even think of it.

[1derfulguy]

Guy knows his shit.

[kitty71]

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.

[RichardBandit]

Pretty Kitty

[kitty71]

@RichardBandit Thanks richard

[kitty71]

but the boy next to me is not my son he is the son of my first cousin

[VaIiant]

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]

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

[skytatoe]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

[Anonymomus]

You don't think we wear jeans and t-shirts because we like them? They're comfortable and easy to change into/out of. Why not wear them?

[MyGenderIsAlien]

@Anonymomus I understand why you wear them, its just basic.

[Darklydarkened]

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

[nojokecarmichael]

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

[Kkaos]

So would these women wear revealing dresses when they're at home by themselves?
Or do they only get their 'confidence' when other people are looking at them... Hmm..

[Fiona1993]

@Kkaos I was just going to write the same thing, haha. I rarely wear tight/revealing clothes, but when do wear it, I am seeking somebody's attention, and by somebody I mean the guy (s) I like. And I am not ashamed to admit it, unlike many others...

[nojokecarmichael]

@Kkaos what do you mean by revealing? Dresses are revealing anyways, they're dresses for a reason they show arms and legs

[nojokecarmichael]

@Fiona1993 you're one of them huh? so you just assume even people wear clothes for attention in public they're doing it for guys they like? Those particular guys might not even be around. LIKE I said some do and some dont. Not everyone is desperate for attention. What are people supposed to wear a sweater and jeans in hot weather also?

[Kkaos]

I don't think anyone would consider arms 'revealing' unless you're in some Arabic country or something. But a low cut dress that's very short at the legs, see through fabric etc.

'What are people supposed to wear a sweater and jeans in hot weather also', that's a false dichotomy. There's tons of clothes options for cool weather that aren't 'revealing' based on the example I gave above.

[Fiona1993]

You can wear a simple white T-shirt and survive in hot weather, trust me I know. And you can wear baggy pants that are just above your knee lenght. And you will never suffer a heat stroke.
And what do you mean by "you're one of them huh?" I honestly did not get that.

[nojokecarmichael]

@Kkaos what did cool weather have to do with hot weather I was talking about? Short at the legs?

[nojokecarmichael]

@Fiona1993 one of the ones I was talking about above. You can also wear shorts that are above knee length and tank tops along with other common summer clothes

[Kkaos]

I don't understand what you're on about, not once did I mention 'cool weather'...

[nojokecarmichael]

@Kkaos "What are people supposed to wear a sweater and jeans in hot weather also', that's a false dichotomy. There's tons of clothes options for cool weather that aren't 'revealing' based on the example I gave above."...

[Kkaos]

Ah right, sorry. Well I meant hot weather. No idea why I said 'cool'.

[alice55]

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.

[herguy]

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]

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.

[Jackblue]

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]

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]

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.

[markscott]

But you can look beautiful, and not necessarily wear revealing clothes. So, why wear the revealing clothes, if you can look beautiful without them?

[InTimoreDei]

@markscott That's precisely where the flaw in their argument lies.

[I_Do_Mind]

@InTimoreDei Nah, we like to see our cleavage, and our own thighs bulging out of our shorts or skinny jeans. It makes us feel more feminine, you know. I remember just trying on a more mature outfit at the mall and I was like "dang I look grown" a thing I needed to feel like a woman instead of a girl and I realized how sexy I can be. Revealing clothes does make a difference, you just feel more confident and bold for yourself. Unrevealing clothes just doesn't produce this feeling in us.

[azzntittiz]

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]

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]

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.
