Who do some women go out in revealing clothing and then complain when men whistle at them?

"revealing" clothes is just normal clothes, they're not even sexual or provocative usually, only to pervs. like if you're under 24 or so, you kinda have to dress that way anyways, or else you're frumpy. like no one wears anything else than short shorts for shorts, mini skirts/short dresses if they're not wearing pants, that's kinda how it is. that's just what fashion is. if you don't dress like that you aren't dressing good.
it's so normal and desexualized anyways, that you'd have to weird to think it's really slutty or think that's why someone is dressing like that.
so basically we usually dress like that for fashion (because that's just how it is) but also bc we think it's cute, we just like the clothes & the look. it's not for guys.
besides even if it is for guys for some, why would they want guys to act disrespectully or want just any guy to give us that attention (or any type of attention anyways)
like on the rare days where i will actually want to dress for that, i really just want guys to think in their head that i'm a snack, that's kinda it. i don't want guys to really come up to me, or talk to me, and i def don't want guys to act creepy or disrespectful or hurt me.
it's just kinda sort of mental thing. like a feeling myself type of thing. I think for most girl's that's pretty much why. i'm not a feminist by the way but this type of stuff make me pretty angry like it's kinda victim blaming in a way and justifying shit for no reason. it's not bc a 17 yo girl is dressing normally for completely normal reasons that some 40 yo should grope her or whatever bc her skirt was a bit above her knee.
like yea if a girl is dressed like an actual slut, like a prostitute type of thing like sheer top with boobs out, micro mini porn star skirt that show 3/4 of your ass and your pussy basically, yea they're after that. but anything short of that, probs no
If you don't want men to give you attention, you shouldn't go out dressed in revealing clothing.
what if most men don't find said "revealing" clothes sexual at all, and if you don't dress like that you're going to be judged by people and can't dress in the way you want? i'm not going to dress like shit and be like considered 'lame' by everyone just bc some idiots says some gross thing to me at times. the benefits outwayt the cons
besides they're the problem, they should how to behave and control themselves like most men
Why do some people leave their house and go on a vacation and then get mad when robbers steal everything they had?
Why do some people go out in public and then get mad when a guy murders them and takes their cash?
Why do some people leave their house and go to work without a helmet on and then get mad when I bash their head in with a bat?
Why do some people carry money in their wallets when they go outside of their house and then get mad when someone robs them robs them?
Why do some men cry every oncetonce ingin a while andtand get their emotions out AND THEN get mad about someone calling them a pussy and not a real man?
Why do some people go swimming in a public pool and then get mad when I take off their swim trunks and hide them?
Why do some people grow flowers outside of their house and then get mad when I steal them?
Why do some people leave their cars out after they go into the store and get mad when someone steals it?
Why do some people just let have their long hair uncovered when they go out and get mad when I chop it off?
Some people are so weird it's like HA brooo are you stupid or something
Excuse the typos I don't care to fix em✨
The ignorance is supreme with this one.
I get that you're under 18, but im slightly confused here. 8/9 of your examples referenced compared being whistled at to a physical disturbance. Do you honestly think being whistled at and murdered are equal grievances?
@NoblesseObligeKK no that's not what she was saying. it wasn't comparing whistling to the crime, it was the situation she was comparing it too (people literally living their lives normally and bad things happen because of it)
@bellybuttonlint you're a whole MAN telling a whole WOMAN she's ignorant on women's clothing... huh?
@___nik that seems like a bit of a stretch to me, but she's under 18; so, I won't pursue it further.
@bellybuttonlint it sure is :D
@NoblesseObligeKK You misunderstood my examples and yes I'm 17 a child that can't comprehend anything let alone count to 4. Sometimes I have trouble walking or standing. My mom still feeds me food because I barely have any muscle in me.
I'm not comparing the situations with themselves. I'm just doing what the dude did but with different thing that seem more simple and something an unintelligent conservative misogynist would understand. Since they have a hard time with mundane concepts like consent and women lmao.
@___nik THIS
@NoblesseObligeKK hahahah honestly of you're over 18 and don't understand this concept then you're not worth anyone's time or effort. Go back to playing games Nigel
Best answer so far.
@AFellowWeeb okay so you've been sexually assaulted and don't wanna admit it. It's okay dude. You're not alone in this.
@MountAverage I kno lol
I like how u acted like ''no big deal'' cause im a guy.
Nice double standards, typical feminist
@AFellowWeeb hahahhag yeah typical me🤪
You're such a pussy allways on anon
@AFellowWeeb you are what you eat
Waow that last comment was sooo original, my God
@potatoechip29 ji I'm proud of it too lmao
@NoblesseObligeKK she made the analigy because you guys blame the victim. So yes, in both cases the victim is blamed. The point is being whistled is not her fault just because she shows some skin.
@bellybuttonlint enlighten us
Why do some men feel what a woman is wearing gives them permission to sexually harass her? Quit putting the pressure on women to control how men act.
You might think whistling at a woman or catcalling is harmless or a compliment. Let me tell you, at a trans man who has lived as a woman, catcalling is not a compliment. It's annoying, it's rude, often it's downright scary. Because what goes through her head is not "they think I'm hot". It's "Is this guy gonna follow me? Is this guy gonna hurt me? If I ignore him that might piss him off, but if I acknowledge him it will encourage him. Can other people see us if he decided to try something? Am I safe right now?"
That might sound like an exaggeration, but it's not. I do not know a single women in my family or friend circle who doesn't have multiple stories about men following them, harassing them, trying to grab them, or worse. I can remember walking gome from school at 15 years old and a group of men started following me on the other side of the street, whistling and calling for me, asking if I swallow, other disgusting things like that. My oldest niece has had far worse experiences than that already and she's only 13.
Let's just knock it off with thw catcalling, alright guys? All it does is annoy and scare
Well said. I will never understand how some people don't comprehend this. I love how some guys will say "well I had a girl whistle at me and slap my ass and I didn't complain." As if that somehow makes what was done to him ok or because he didn't mind women shouldn't mind. Basically thier way of saying "oh well it doesn't bother me so when I grope you it's ok." What the fuck is this logic.
Brace yourself, ladies. Just read all of this, and keep in mind that i mean absolutely no disrespect.
Women, as a whole, are some of the biggest hypocrites on this planet.
Men are visual. You pop ur tits up in defiance of gravity. You put on $50 worth of makeup every day. You let your hair fall into big soft curls. You pour yourselves into very form fitting britches.
So now this creature... the very visually stimulated, dumbed down, regressed to gross motor movement... is gonna catch a glimpse of the show. What show, you ask? The HER show.
We now have to address an argument that has been around since cave dwellers walked upright.
Comment on her "insert thing here", and we are pigs.
Dont comment, and we then hear shit from our girls like "What do u mean, u didn't see her? She's gorgeous! How could u not look? you're such a liar!"
Plus!!! I almost forgot! If not one person says so much as "boo" to her, it will hurt her feelings. She put in all this effort. And nobody appreciated it.
Then you girls add on a whole new layer of dumb shit.
There are few things more fetching than a bruised ego on a beautiful angel.
You sir gained a new follower
☝ this right here sir, deserves a medal
and i add even more: for all the women that say they put themselves pretty just for themselves, then why do you go for a messy bun, wash your makeup, take off your push up bra, once you arrived at home?

Honest opinion here. I'll probably get a lot of hate from women for it, but those women are definitely the ones that don't see logic.
I'm not on the side of Muslims in that all women should be covered from head to toe so that you can't see them. But if you dress more provocatively and show more skin, you should expect more attention from both sides of the respect spectrum. When you get attention, you get both people who are disrespectful and respectful towards you. You can't pick and choose only one. And there will always be both sides of the spectrum. It's not a perfect world nor will it ever be sadly so be realistic. People will always judge you based on your appearance and treat you differently for it. It's just life. We all do it, some to a much higher extent than others. If I see a girl in a beautiful dress, not showing much skin, I find it elegant and assume she's a downto earth and feminine girl. When I see a girl in jean booty shorts that show half of her butt cheeks and a thin crop top showing a lot of cleavage, I'm gonna assume she's looking to show off her body and wants that kind of attention as well as has attitude and thinks she's hot stuff. Then if there's a girl that dresses in a bunch of black clothes and wears skull designs and goth accessories, I'm gonna assume she's in a rebellious phase and wants to make a statement and be unique. And then girls do all the same things with guys. It's just human nature.
It's truly delusional to think it's wrong for guys to whistle at girls when they show a lot of skin and look good. It's fine to whistle and look. It's not fine when there's any physical contact.
This is a common psychological game some women play. They want sexual attention from men (not actually sex but just sexual attention) because they feel insecure about their sexual attractiveness and undesirable. It gives them an ego boost.
So here is the psychology: She creates the self deception that she is just so hot and irresistible that guys won't leave her alone by wearing clothes that she knows will attract sexual attention. She creates the fantasy that she's so damn attractive that in spite of her effort to avoid it, men are irresistibly drawn to her sexually like a moth to a flame. She craves that kind of fantasy because she feels so unattractive. This feeds her need to counter that self image. Of course no one tells these women that you could put a pig in panties and a bra and guys would get turned on.
She LOVES the attention but puts on an act like she is offended and annoyed because that completes the game in her deluded mind. It's about "I'm so irresistible that men won't leave me alone. They ALL do this. I'm so tired of it!" It's a way of making it sound like she knows she's hot and gets that reaction all the time so she's tired of it. It's part of her self delusion that completes the fantasy.
It's sad actually. These women have psychological issues.
It's why you see girls on the Internet with their tits hanging out and half naked who then complain if someone makes a sexual comment. They protest to make themselves feel more "irresistible."
Bingo! It's so obvious really, because their behaviour, and what motivates that behaviour, is just so damned transparent. Yet we have females in the comments section here denying it, and saying stupid things like, "Oh no, we dress this way to feel good about ourselves. Yeah, that's it, we don't want to be noticed at all, because that's harassment". Pffft! What utter tosh!
I know right? This woman I know dressed her baby in this TINY pink romper, like SERIOUSLY tiny, and took her out in the pram for a walk, and so naturally these guys were coming up to the baby and winking at each other, asking how old she was, licking their lips, touching themselves, whistling, making lewd comments, and this woman had the AUDACITY to act outraged by their behaviour. What the bejesus? I mean, come on, she was asking for that baby to be harrassed and it was entirely her fault. Surely she knows men have no self-control, or has she been in a coma for the last decade? Sheesh.
If you're attractive, some men will "whistle" at you no matter what you wear. However, when women wear revealing clothing, the purpose is to express sex appeal towards men that women want to approach them. If a woman in revealing clothes gets upset with a certain guy whistling, more likely than not, she didn't find him attractive. At worst, she was likely creeped out by the guy. Simply because a woman expresses her sex appeal to get attention from guys doesn't mean that she welcomes the attention from every guy. In addition, whistling isn't a polite or socially adept way to react to a woman you're attracted to as well, regardless of what she's wearing. Simply put, if you notice a woman that you're attracted to, approach her, compliment her, and shoot your shot. Men that have the confidence and respect are the ones that are most desirable. Men that whistle from a distance tend to be creeps and weirdos, which is enough to make any woman upset.
Because they enjoy the attention and validation. They dress for that, not for "themselves". How you portray yourself to the world is what you will get. Dress like a prostitute or slut and people will perceive and treat you as such. The odds of experiencing this will be significantly reduced when you wear more modest clothing. I'm yet to get to know a woman who dresses modestly complain as much as girls about getting 'unwanted' attention. But of course, depending on the envornment, there are always a bunch of pathetic losers out there to catcall women, regardless of what they wear. If I'm wearing a Rolex in a ghetto, then I'm asking to get mugged. This is no different for women and how they dress. It is our responsbility as humans to lessen the odds of getting unwanted attention.
Only potential rapists would say that. You have no right to harrass her like that because of her clothes period. I even have seen guys cat calling women with burkha. So do some guys act like an animal but also complain when they get reported to police?
I swear so many incels crying over not having the right to harrass a girl
Absolutely.
perhaps they should all join mgtow and leave us all alone 💀
@AmourHoney or better yet, r/incels 💀💀
even better 😌
Thank you all and I followed you all. Be careful with the incels here. They have the habbit to attack/spam you.
It really depends on how revealing the clothing is. Sometimes it's not done because of the clothing, but because of their general beauty or other factors.
I think the main issue isn't that men "compliment" these women, but rather that they do it in the mentioned way; by whistling. You could just as well go over and say "Hey you're looking good" etc. while whistling (in the way you phrased your question) implies that the girl is "cheap". And no one, literally no one wants to be considered cheap.
If u dress as a hooker what u expect their cheap 🤔🤔
Actually when u said nobody wants to be considered cheap trust me plenty out there do , 💯
@TraceyByrd Spitting facts once again! Very well said! What you portray out to the world is what you will attract
I feel like you're floating away from my original response whcih was about how I said it depends on how revealing their clothing is. Now it's suddenly about a whole other paragraph in my comment, but okay let's slide with it.
So: It sounds more like this is coming from a place of extreme subjective opinion, but alright. I do not think that anyone in their right mind wants to be considered cheap. We all want to be valued. Sure, some people dress and act in a very sexual manner, but most times that's because they've learned that, that's how they get validation. And why do they want that validation? Well, because they want to feel valued, aka not cheap as human beings.
@Jonn123 Of course the degree of the clothing determines the rate of unwanted attention. The sluttier a woman dresses, the more she will attract that sort of attention. What Tracey is trying to say is that there are women out there who want to be looked at as "cheap" and in this case, she means as a sexual object. Because for women, knowing they are perceived as 'fuckable' and 'hot' is a huge boost to their self-esteem. And this is a very easy way to boost that self-esteem, by advertising your assets. Hence why slutty girls have no issues dressing as such and platforms like OnlyFans are booming.
I couldn't have said it better myself u juss bombed it exactly 💯🔥
You are probably wrong. It's not the catcalling they hate. The wrong man catcall them! How dare they!
Or is this actually ment to be a serious question.. there is of course another site to it. it's true those closes are kinda related to catcalling, so one should know this will happen when you are not fat and ugly. But it's annoying when people don't let you wear what you want. My favourite clothes are a bit weird too. wouldn't like it if everybody thought (and expressed) I am the president of a bank al the time, would I?
Look if you didn't lie about your age range and you are still asking this you have no desire to actually learn why. It is basic manners dude. If guys don't want women to be mad about it then why whistle/harass in other ways. Aren't you just asking for it?
You're assuming harassment is linear and a woman's reactions are justified. I've had women get mad at me just for looking at them - only for a few seconds and not anywhere inappropriate (I looked at their face). If I gawked for too long, whistle, or something else, I understand that, but you dress differently, people will look - regardless if it's a woman or man. Modern day millennial morons are taking this whole "my choice" ideal too far without a a sense of realism. Although, if a woman gets mad even if the guy doesn't do anything really inappropriate, it's usually because she has a boyfriend already, yet she gets mad when guys look by wearing a revealing dress? SMH
A woman bitching about guys after she purposefully wears revealing clothing is just bringing to light the fact that she gets attention from guys, so that other people are aware that guys find her attractive. It's an ego boost and shows off her status. While she might publicly hate the type of attention she gets, she privately is happy to get any attention. It's the same reason some people go to an expensive restaurant and bitch about the cost of the food after they took a picture of their plate and posted it to their instagram account. They want the attention but don't want to act like they like it, so they feign outrage about something that was totally within their control.
When I wear clothes that are “revealing” it’s because I think they are cute. Like the shirt I have on in my profile pic, I think it is cute. When I bought it I thought to myself “this is a cute shirt” “I like it”. That being said, I don’t wear anything in hopes of getting attention from other men... I get enough attention just from my face alone. I think it’s all about being respectful. “There’s a difference between a guy yelling out “nice titties” and a guy saying “hey beautiful”.
NICE TITTIES
@TerminallyChill and it doesn’t even bother me
Nah. I was just making a shitty joke. I try not to pointlessly add to the suffering of people
@___nik How do you feel about the fact that all that "sexy" clothing was designed by the patriarchy to objectify the female body though? As fucked as it sounds, in the end men still win.
Well maybe "win" is a poor choice of word
Hundreds of years ago they did not have long nails and all that other stuff it’s apart of our culture now and seen as sexy, and quite frankly fem lesbians are attracted to it too it only makes sense a woman attracted to other women would be turned on seeing another woman in less clothing.
@Alpha09 why would I complain seeing a woman wearing less clothes I’m not gay? I’m not trying to bring anyone down y’all are probably beautiful ladies. I’m just saying if y’all wear less clothes you know a man is attracted to regardless of the reason you claim to wear it then don’t complain when a man respectfully approaches y’all to talk to y’all because he is attracted to it. You know what it is. There is nothing wrong with a guy coming on to you or complimenting y’all it’s human nature we like females and pussy. All that feminist shit is bullshit. As men we are hunters, women are the prey. If y’all hate men so much then go eat pussy the rest of y’all’s lives. Have a good day.
@KyceG Well since your set on assuming how everyone thinks, I'll address some of your other assumptions and educate you. You assume we are referring to men who respectfully approach us, which for most women is ok. It's the gropey entitled wastes of air that I'm talking about. Just because I'm in a sexy dress at a club, which is a perfectly appropriate place doesn't give someone the right to act like an animal. Dogs and 4 year olds know what no means so why don't some men? Or whoever. My point is don't be surprised if the "prey" punches you in the throat because your definition of hunting is being an entitled fool. By my comment about complaining in regards to covering up, there are people especially men who make comments like "oh she's so uptight, I know she's got a hot body under all that." Just look at Billie Eilish, the commentary is nothing new. However if there where truly no good men I absolutely would just eat pussy. But sexy, mature and secure men who don't whine or assume are to good to pass up.
@Alpha09 your assuming I feel entitled. I can take no for an answer. Like little Baby said “If she won't fuck, I won't make her”. I feel like your one of them girls that wear skimpy ass dresses in clubs and stand by yourself then when a guy respectfully approaches you your like “eww no gross, go away” lol. by the way if I came up to you in a club and told you you were beautiful that you had pretty eyes could I get your number and left it at that then you throat punched me I would molly wop your ass lol. I know what no means! I get your point though I guess.
@TerminallyChill while it's true that sexy clothing can lead to objectification from men, it's not true that women wear sexy clothing *specifically* for that objectification. and not all sexy clothing is designed by men and for men, that would be insane.
@___nik No, I know that, I'm not a chauvinist troglodyte. I'm asking more about the paradoxical nature of the fact that these clothes are supposed to be liberating to women while they also perpetuate the female objectification of the patriarchy. Isn't this like internalized patriarchal behavior or some shit along those lines?
@___nik And obviously not all sexy clothing TODAY is made by men, but the predecessors of whatever is being made today was thought up and designed by men is what I'm saying.
@KyceG I love how you chose the only two things you might be able to criticize and left the rest.😂 I have clearly stated that it's the ones who are gropey and entitled wastes of air whom I'm referring to. A lot of them have said things like "ooh I chase women" or use that same "hunter" "prey" metaphor. I said don't be surprised IF the "prey" punches you in the throat because." implying IF you get punched because you hold an entitled mindset don't be surprised. Which isn't necessary saying YOU hold the mindset, however the more you speak the more you sound like you genuinely believe in the metaphor. Though I don't know if you're just repeating what you have heard because you think the statement sounds cool, or you are just predatory when it comes to women and your trying to sound reasonable. Your little attempt at making up a scenario that I have specifically stated is not my way of doing things, could make one think you may have a habit of projecting. Simply because your scenario is ridiculous, and only someone who shouldn't be in public goes around punching people just because they asked for a number lol. Anyone can ask, it's just how you ask and wether you accept the answer in a civilized fashion. If your nice to me I'm nice to you, it's not a hard concept. @TerminallyChill
Though a pathetic argument to my point on his part, aside from all that if someone physically attacks you for no reason you have every right to defend yourself. However i wouldn't recommend hurting them more than they did you whoever they are, you would be better off subduing them if possible.
@TerminallyChill I absolutely understand your point. Mine was you shouldn't take abuse regardless. If that means subduing her in some way like holding her arms down, whatever I think that's reasonable if someone much smaller attacks you. Though a scenario that she has a knife or something that could potentially kill you I'd say you have every right to throw a punch. Not standing up for yourself because someone is female doesn't help anybody. I just wouldn't recommend throwing the first punch, simply because nobody should if there isn't a physical threat to begin with.
@TerminallyChill I’m 6’2 and 195lbs. I would not normally hit a woman or support that, but if I’m out and about and a girl punches me in my throat I’m probably going to slap the shit out of her. I’m no ones punching bag. I’m not going to be disrespected like that by anyone man, or woman. Idc if they are blind crippled or crazy. You don’t have to agree, I did not ask for your approval.
@Alpha09 I get your point. Its just now days I feel like men can not win no matter how hard we try. I always see women trying to put down men and it bothers me. I just know that regardless of why women choose certain clothing if it’s less clothing it has to be known that it’s going to create sexual appeal to the opposite gender. We already agreed though that it was fine to approach women if done respectfully. I just don’t understand why women don’t appreciate a good man now days and bash us about literally everything. I don't know I don’t get it.
@TerminallyChill you literally tagged me first like 5x dodo bird llf
@KyceG I understand where you're coming from in terms of men just being bashed for no reason, by women who refuse to check them selves. Absolutely. In no way was I trying to say women are somehow perfect or without fault. Yes of course wearing a sexy dress is going to attract attention, good and bad. I have nothing against positive attention. That's a given and completely normal, my only point was that the negative disrespectful kind should never be put up with. I don't care if your a man or woman. Girls cross lines to, they just tend to be less aggressive about it and quite frankly less violent if they don't get what they want. Not to say a female has never become threatening in some instance, but it's not exactly common. at least in my experience, it could be different for others. I've heard and been apart of conversations with women on occasion who for whatever reason find fault in the guys they are with or know, and put them down without ever looking at themselves. And I wonder if they ever think "hey what's wrong with me." I'm sure I've been guilty of thinking this way at some point, but I've always tried to think in reasonable terms because if you don't, things become toxic and you most definitely won't get a long with the opposite sex. In my opinion and for most of my experience, men are great. I like masculine energy, I like the company of men and my time around them has been for the most part positive. I just refuse to take bullshit, and the justifications from the ones who can't keep thier hands to themselves for that bullshit, from anyone.
From what I understand. They say they wear it for themselves, which could be true.
They also wear it for men, or the attraction of men. Like a magnet.
But. Its for certain men. The men THEY want to notice them. If your not that guy your a creep, or perv who has to control himself and be ashamed for looking etc.
They also do it for other women.
As in competition not so much for the men but the resources that come with each man, thats why a woman who is popular with all the men in a group will be hated by the other women.
Woman understand women. That's why they hate each other.
I do know 1 thing for a fact. No woman goes out unaware that some of her boob is hanging out. Don't hate on me if you disagree tell me how
Women who dress provocatively want attention. Let’s stop dodging the f*cking truth. But they also want attention from only certain people. They also do it to compete with other women.
Now I have never whistled or catcalled a woman in my life. I have stared an extra moment though and I don’t apologize for it. You can’t #metoo my mind alright? That bullshit is impossible.
Men are going to have impulses and built into our biology and hormones. That doesn’t give us an excuse to catcall or worse. But you have no right to label a man a creep because you decided to dress half naked and he looks you up for an extra second. Just quit that ridiculous expectation.
I just wish you girls could spend a day in a guy’s mind. Just see and feel how our brain’s work. I’m not talking about a scumbag’s mind either but a just an average straight guy’s mind.
i always like being whistled at and men looking at your legs... the more the better... i even like a guy with his girlfriend looking at me and getting hit... definitely boosts my confidence... i don't complain when that happens.
You don't feel bad if a girls boyfriend is checking you out in front of her?
@Cupcakes_No_Flakes i can't control men... plus i didn't say i'd talk to them they're just looking
@chrissykerdock Good to see a woman is genuine with her answers. You got so many pink comments denying what we all already know.
@TruthBringer not every girl will get looks and whistles if she wore a mini skirt... that's what a lot of the negative comments come in or the thumbs down
Mostly they want attention for the good reason. Yeah a man cat calling is trashy but be real, if I were dressed up sexy and going around town I'd feel confident if sexy men eyed me. It shows me I'm sexy and know it. I feel a lot of women don't want to admit the truth because of this bull shit "feminist empowerment". Just admit it ladies we love attention if its the good kind of attention.
this is coming from a woman who dresses up for attention when I wan't it. However yes women don't have to dress up to be cat called or grab attention. I just find it weird if she's walking in a tight mini skirt, heeled boots and crop top then bitches about attention she gets. Its in men's nature to look [ but thats no excuse for a man to lay hands on her and throw nasty comments ]
Attack and thumbs me down all you want, I'm speaking as a woman on this.
Ah I see your the classic victim blamer eh?
Just cuz a woman dressed up a certain way dosen't mean you get to cat call her.
Yes I know they dress weird ( I mean what exactly is the appeal and comfort of wearing shorts that look like underwears)
BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU GET TO HARASS HER.
If men get to complain all day about women using their money , then women get to complain about how men sexualise her ( which is more serious) .
Fyi how you feel if someone blames you for attracting gold digger just because you flaunted your money?
Exactly
Because they are attention whores. They like being whistled at hollered at hit on etc and then on the back end they like to cause a fuss over it to get even more attention.
Men get cat called and stuff as well when we dress revealing but men however hardly dress revealing so we dont get gawked at much.
In the summer im fit and i wore tight trunks, im not a bikini boy eww. Lots of women hit on me, touched me without reason to think id given permission etc. Women are absolutely just as bad. An attractive men in a bathing suit makes women wild too.
Its not excuse enough to get raped, but in terms of other things, if you dress a certain way, then you’re gonna get the attention you’re clearly asking for. So dont be surprised by catcalling
Agreed. Is like if i choose to do outside wearing spandex and a high V beck, ofc people will notice it.
We go out in revealing clothes to get ATTENTION from a specific man or men.
All others that whistle at us are NOT the ones we dressed this way for.
The problem is that clothing has no device to adjust to make it just for a *specific* man. If it did, life would be a lot better. I might invent such a device and become a trillionaire. If it could also read a woman's mind and determine who she wants to impress and no setting was required, I would become a billionaire! In the interim, there are always James Bond-type long trenchcoats and sunglasses I guess to wear on the way there.
Surely you understand that you'd get attention from multiple types of men, not JUST the ones you wnat it from, no?
It's refreshing to hear such honesty.
@ThisDudeHere think about this situation, a man dresses fashionably to impress a woman. do women on the street whistle when they see a fashionable man? no, they don't. so why do men feel the need to even do that?
Lol at guys trying to compare waving to an entire neighbourhood to wearing something nice for one person. The ignorance is incredible! An act of waving to every person is completely different to dressing up for one man. Are they’d stupidly trying to say women can no longer dress up for a date with a guy because they all assume it’s for them? SMH! The world has gone mad!! 😂 Imagine your boyfriends response to that? Maybe they’d change their tune then. Lol. Only fools make excuses, it’s like these guys are against using a bit of a brain sometimes. I know I sound harsh but honestly, what do people expect when they try to blame others for their own actions they refuse to take responsibility for. It’s like “oh, I could never consider the fact that it’s not for me!” 🙄 ridiculous! Narcissism springing to mind?
@NorthShoreCalling it’s one thing to calling out guys who catcall or worse. But I can seriously count the times on one hand I’ve seen a guy cross the line on this in public. 99% of the time it’s just guys staring for an extra second and approaching a girl (the latter is what we are supposed to do since we are expected to be “confident”).
But what you are saying is that you want dress provocatively and ONLY have guys you are interested in notice you and look you up? That’s not happening. Many guys will notice and look you up
whether you like it or not. Guys will approach whether you like it or not. Does this cause many uncomfortable situations? Yes. But how the hell can you expect otherwise other the making all men magically mind readers? And trust me if I God gave me the ability to read women’s minds I would absolutely love that. That would make my dating life a 1000 times easier. I could confidently approach any women who thinks I’m attractive while not wasting even a second on the ones I don’t. I would never have to risk looking like a “creep” again. But that magical power doesn’t exist.
Most of us have zero idea if you are taken or not (unless your boyfriend is right next to you or your wearing a wedding ring). Most of us will have no idea if your having a bad day or not. Last but not least most of us will have no idea if you like us or not. It’s up to us to approach and take that risk. And we do NOT enjoy it. Contrary to popular widespread myth most men don’t enjoy sticking their necks out.
So if you dress like you want to get attention it’s coming. Unless the guy does something explicitly rude (catcall or making explicit sexual comments with no context) just give him the respect. Politely tell him you respect his confidence but you are not interested. If he persists THEN you can get bitchy.
That's on the dude, if you wanna compliment her, there's respectful ways to do it without being a creep or you could simply not say anything to her.
It's pretty easy to not catcall someone.
Whistling or catcalling isn't a compliment to them, it's disrespectful.
Either just stay quiet or say something actually nice she's looking pretty or her outfit is nice.
It sure is an approach I don't take and never have. At the same time, the world is full of mad people. SO if you dress like a slut, then be ready to attract unwanted attention. It is OUR responsibility to lower the odds of these things happening. So I should walk in a ghetto with a Rolex and then say it's on the dude who mugged me? Doesn't stop the fact there are muggers out there. I can't do shit about that, so the best thing to do is not standing out to lessen the odds of getting mugged. Same thing goes for women and getting catcalled. I've noticed that it's mostly women who wear revealing clothes who are complaining about this. I know plenty of well-dressed and well-mannered women who don't complain as often.
You kinda do have a point. But we should be aiming to be able to teach everyone not to catcall so that no man or woman has to worry about wearing any kind of clothes.
And yes I agree wearing less revealing clothes will lessen the chances but I've still seen guys catcalling girls who were wearing simple hoodies and jeans. Catcallers, a lot of then will do it irrespective of the clothes.
Cat calling is indeed pathetic and ill-mannered. Hence why my parents have raised me well not to do it. And yeah women will get unwanted attention regardless of what they wear. This is the burden of being born a female. But as you've pointed out, it's better to lessen the odds as much as possible. I'll give an extreme comparison. Who do you think is getting more unwanted attention in this regard, a Muslim woman wearing a hijab or a 'Stacy' popping out her tits and wearing a miniskirt?
at least you're getting my point, which many of them do, but their egos are keeping them for admitting it.
