Why do women wear sexy clothes if they don’t want attention? (Page 2)

Question

It's a genuine question so I'd appreciate if you don't bash me. Basic assumptions while asking this questions are  1) Not all women want attention 2) Many women receive unnecessary attention when they dress reveling. I'm not against it but asking this question just to know behavior of opposite gender. (Trans people can answer too, I won't mind )

yousir · Answer

Women want to feel confident even if they don't care if you notice. They know when they look good. They're not just going to wear burlap sacks so that you don't pop a boner.

Bert-7 · Answer

I think the answer is actually pretty simple. They are looking for attention, but not the attention of everyone. They wear sexy clothes because it makes them confident and ready if they cross a guy they really like. They looks pretty but they are like everyone when it comes to approach someone they are into.
You can see their outfit like a pill of courage, a pill it would have had been nice to have in high school when we were too shy to talk to some girls lol

Anonymous · Answer

Because they DO want attention. Any honest women will tell you that. But they also want to be able to control the attention and they want to be able to complain about it.

Any woman who says "I dress up that way and go out in public for myself" is full of shit and shouldn't be trusted.

Anonymous · Answer

Women often just don't have such sexual thoughts when they see themselves, other women, and men.

For some reason men tend to think the most explicitly when they see women when a woman looks at herself in the mirror when she's wearing something sexy she probably just thinks "I look pretty and sexy" when she see's a man that looks handsome and sexy she thinks "wow he's so handsome, I'd love to date him"
when a man see's a sexy girl he thinks about sex, literal sex.

unmistakablyme · Answer

I don't want attention.  I want to feel sexy, and when I do, it's for myself, that is why I dress up.  It isn't about attention, it's about accepting and loving our bodies (to me at least).

clampfan101 · Answer

I wonder why guys are blamed so much for staring when they do. Even for just a few seconds sometimes. And staring can simply mean catching strong attention. It doesn’t necessarily make him a pervert. I try not to stare, but often can’t help myself. I’m a guy, so it’s pretty much in my genes to want to.

LiveCuriosity · Answer

I'm not really into revealing outfit. as a bisexual who's used to wear jeans and tshirts, i think some girls just likes to dress and be happy with their self. It's not really a big deal for me as long as it's not too much revealing.

Roof-Top-Sex · Answer

If a woman knows a male friend of hers or a male she can't avoid meeting at a job is just coming out of lust or struggling with lust and for her to dress that way knowing she could help him until he fully recovers, is not caring about his battles of lust. Why would a woman dress that way knowing there are some men she has to be around. Just cover up for the 1 hour business meeting.

outsidecurve · Answer

Women for the most part dress sexy for themselves. They like the way they look and enjoy looking pretty. They also like the attention. Not for men to approach them, but to hold power over men

Dxk007 · Answer

Well, they have got 1000s of outfits. And, sexy one's too. If, it's the right occasion, they wear it.
Although, the attention givers are more at fault than, the attention seekers.
Actually, some may do it for attention but, most probably are competing with other girls.

Binnie · Answer

It’s just most girls like cute clothes and sexy clothes it’s fun to be in cute outfits and sexy outfits

meowcow · Answer

When people choose to wear something, it's usually not for you. It is for themselves.

When a woman wants to wear nice clothing, they usually do so to make themselves look and feel good. They do not wear it so that you can get a boner.

Maddyjojo · Answer

I think for the most part it’s for them to express themselves. I usually don’t wear crazy revealing clothes but we all use them as a way to express ourselves. But I know some women do like to do it to get someone’s attention

19magic · Answer

When I wear heels I feel empowered like I've got something to do and there's a purpose in my stride, when I wear dresses I feel cute and feminine while when I make sure my makeup is top notch I feel smart, sexy, and again empowered

Goodwifie · Answer

Waits for the creepy guys to come out and attack our way of life.

Pugall · Answer

Hey guys... I'm not against any party;I'm just stating my view and most importantly the way I grew up. Well, here wearing modestly mean a person has high discipline and self control. People here have been trained in a way that those who wear provicatively are slut or prostitute. Personally I don't believe it. Dressing can't decide one's personality. But I'm worri3d about the dignity and speciality of the body

just_wondering_01 · Answer

In regards to it being uncomfortable, it depends a lot on how it's made and what it's made of. Just like some conservative clothes are uncomfortable and some are not

Richareens · Answer

Because it makes us feel good about ourselves lol. And I want people to look. I don’t mind it especially if the guy’s cute. I like when girls check me out too.

bigcoolguy · Answer

They like the attention. They do it for attention. That being said they only want attention like that from specific type of guys. So they also don't like it for the attention because they're after what they want. But I'm only going off of my past experiences and observation. Everyone is different and I could be wrong.

Cryostatic · Answer

You don't have to "dress revealing" to get unwanted attention as a woman, so what difference does it make?

MelaninDoll · Answer

you're a peaceful person I get good vibes from you.

Mag05 · Answer

I always try to wear normal clothes because I hate gettin the wrong type of attention. But I mean if I like a certain clothing item that is considered “sexy” Ima still wear the fuck out of it because life is short and we only live it once. So hey

zinnca · Answer

If it's hot it's an easy way to keep cool. Wear what we like even if it's considered "sexy" just like anything else. Some people like to dress to the nines everyday some like to wear crop tops and booty shorts

sunrays1 · Answer

we dress up or dress sexy because we feel good and know we look good and us women dress to impress other women... not men. Bit of silent competition between us all

DevilsAngel117790 · Answer

Cos it's their body and not for you to sexualise them based on what they wear. They could be wearing nothing and that's still not an invitation for you to sexualise a person

Ally_Army1210 · Answer

If you look good, you feel good. Some may want attention but most of what I've seen, they dress that way for themselves. Looking good gives you confidence.

NathanStrat · Answer

The ones claiming its not for attention know deep down they love showing off how perfect they are. It turns them on knowing guys they’re attracted to are looking. And it boosts their ego.

happyhippo · Answer

I just like to feel good in my skin. When I dress sexy I'm make sure I'm comfortable and not looking trashy. I just like the confidence it gives me and most of the time I do it only for myself and only to feel good.

toolazyforausername · Answer

It makes me feel sexy and confident in my own skin. I like to wear what i think looks good because I wanna feel good about myself. By "good" I mean satisfied and happy.

Vernoica · Answer

Because she feels comfortable in what she is wearing and can carry it amazingly. Not everyone looks for attention some wear sexy clothes for then to feel good.

MScifiwriter · Answer

All girls are different so even if some find certain clothing uncomfortable to wear, other girls may find that clothing comfortable to wear. Some questions like this can only be answered by those who the question relates to. Everyone else is just speculating.

Malik00 · Answer

Look i half agree, if you got the goods show it off. Nothing wrong with that. But you should also at least know what you're getting into when you do.

Going out in public in sexy/revealing clothing and not expecting to at least get some looks, is about as smart as jumping into shark filled waters with lots of bloody fresh cuts, and not expecting to get bit.

Peopleschamp · Answer

I personally think they try to bend the rules of reality. If you wear something attention grabbing (low cut shirt, booty shorts, tight leggings, see through leggings) people WILL look. How can people not understand that? Also, wear whatever you want, but have enough common sense to know that if your outfit is oozing sex appeal, people aren't going to just ignore it.

lol44 · Answer

It makes us feel good. And yes, when I dress up sexy, I want to stand out actually.

linds34 · Answer

Some of us do want attention, but that doesn't mean every kind of attention is okay.

Wollu · Answer

All women depend on social value. They don’t beautify themselves for men. They do that against their competitors. Other women. Most men don’t find it even attractive how they are making up themselves. But who is asking men about that? Women don’t. They ask magazines produced by women.

lumos · Answer

Because wanting to look good and feel pretty is not the same thing as wanting attention (i. e. wanting to be harassed).

VonDamme · Answer

Me? I want attention. Point blank period. I wear clothes that show off my figure when I want my figure to be noticed.

bang678 · Answer

Because its about me not others. I wear stuff I feel confidant in. Sometimes thats a nice dress and sometimes its a pair of sweatpants.

blakeduhh · Answer

I wear sexy stuff because it makes me feel good. It puts me in a better mood because i know i look hot and i guess it kind of goes with getting attention and compliments. plus here in florida it is hot af so short shorts are a must.

Minahh · Answer

I don't wear sexy clothes much, but when I do it's not because I want attention it's because I feel good and confident that day. I wonder... why it's so hard to understand we don't dress for boys or attention. Just let everyone wears what they want

MrMilti · Answer

They want attention, but only from guys they find attractive.

smajy · Answer

pooper89 · Answer

I typically don't. I don't need to be ogled to feel worthy/confident.  I will though if I'm going out with a group and want to fit in with the dress of the group.

Pinay_ako · Answer

I dress sexy like bodyhugging dresses because I feel good about myself. Same way I don't wear shorts because I feel my legs are too short so I don't feel good about it. I don't dress for other people. True story.

CrazyCatPerson · Answer

The same reason you want to buy an expensive car which is also very inconvenient. For approval and showing what you got. But that does mean you want to be robbed.

Nothing_Matters · Answer

Because women like to look pretty, but America has changed the way people find things attractive, it leans more on sexy instead of just looking good.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Something I'm wondering myself. My best guess is that they want attention, just not from whom they received it from when they claimed they didn't.

Anonymous · Answer

Simple, they want attention from the men they want, just not you. Low self esteem so clothing increases their self esteem and their status (women are competitive this way). So you dress up too, but you do it to get women you find hot, not the ones that are landwhales and turn you limp. Works both ways bro.

ElizabethRegine · Answer

Many girls feel more beautiful when they wear certain clothes or dress up, not for others but for themselves. They feel more confident, and ofcourse some do it for attention, but not all women.

Sheye24 · Answer

Because some just like to look good. They like to look pretty, I like to wear sexy clothes but I turn down every guy that tries to talk to me and I am anti social so yeah that means I don't like attention.

TacosRAwesome · Answer
