Is it Healthy to Be Show-Offy?

[Anonymous]

I've been told that there is something wrong with you if you don't like to show off, and boast total pride. For example: "as a girl you are supposed to wear the most revealing clothes you can walk with your chin up, knockers up, and be the first one on the dance floor , and don't be afraid to shake that booty! " Is this true?

If so, I just don't see myself this way sorry /:

Thank you for all your answers and honest opinions. What I got out of this was; being Show-Offy is healthy some in the right place, but not all the time. The most important thing is to be yourself and not worry about what the haters say. You also can't be afraid to express yourself.

The good posture is true enough. It accentuates everything naturally, which is really what you want ) not “show off”


I think leave the booty-shaking to select moments in time ….

It's ok and you're welcome (:

Do whatever feels comfortable to you.

You got it and want to flaunt it, go right ahead; if not don't.

You don't have to wear anything that you are not comfortable in. I have never been into overly exposing clothing myself, not even as a teenager. I have always been confident with my body, as I work out and I have for a long time to keep myself healthy and in the shape I want to be, but that doesn't mean i HAVE to wear skimpy clothing, or show areas of skin constantly.

I appreciate modesty, comfort, and letting my body show through the clothing I wear (like skinny jeans, knee length dresses that fit to my body nicely, flattering tops that hug my curves, well fitted blouses, etc) Even swimsuits I do not wear bikinis. I wear the longer tank top tankinis, with board shorts, as THAT is what I am comfortable in. Just because a woman has a good body doesn't mean she has to wear clothing that reveals it!

Wear what YOU want, and what makes YOU feel comfy and confident.

This is so not true. Pay closer attention to the comments and see the negative responses a lot of girls receive for wearing such little clothing. There were times when people would say you deserved to be raped, you shouldn’t have been wearing such clothes and told them next time to cover up.

My cousin, engaged and has 2 kids and she is out there constantly wearing revealing clothes and she gets called out for it. Pay closer attention to comments rather than what people say

Yikes, thank you very much! People are dumb, I'm just going to stick with my jeans and tshirts!

Most people do not like show offs, because it is arrogant and very easy to spot but it is totally fine to be confident in yourself. Showing off is just showing up for other people or doing things to look good for others. Confidence is when you truly do things for yourself not doing it for others approval or attention, which is a much better way to be, but personally I think majority of women fall in the "show off" boat.

Depends what type of show off that is.

Your example is a terrible show off, that if I were you would not repeat after.

There's also this show off, that I would not repeat after either - at least I would not broadcast it online. *MAYBE* I'll do it in private.

It depends on what you mean. Do you mean like, show off as in showing as much skin as possible (or what is possible & legal?) only for attention? Or like, just wanting to wear something sexy because you feel sexy? I can understand the last one but the first one I wouldn't.

I don’t like showing much skinny. However, I love to dress classy with heel, maybe a business pant or a skirt or a dress, with a blouse. I don’t wear a pantie and don’t wear a bra make it shows a bit. I love it when my nipples sticking out on my blouse. Always gets the men attention.

I don't know if it's inherently a good or bad thing. Just be aware of the sort of attention you'll get and whether it's the type you want.

Like, men twice your age leering and women twice your age sneering might not be what you're looking for.

[dustybiker2]

I only boast in jest. And even then only with close friends. Healthy? To actually do it and mean it? I have more respect for the humble person.

[AviatorTom]

Depends what you're showing off, and whether it's legal or not.

[Asker]

True lmfao

[sheenagwapa]

i think we all love to show off in one way or another

[MasterKS]

What you are and what made you look best is matters than what people says or think.

[DrPepper12]

I would want VIVACIOUS not show off. Bulig difference!!

[KrakenAttackin]

This behavior screams insecurity.

[BigManSAB]

Only if you show off your health
