Why does a guys feel the need to tell girls to cover up for wearing a tshirt that is a little provocative?

[Anonymous]

I was wearing something like this on a date

and afterwards got told that a was being a little to provocative and should cover up. Why do guys care so much?

[ObscuredBeyond]

That shirt shows too much. It's one thing to wear a shirt that shows just a little, and says: "Hi, I'm trying to dress for the weather."

It's quite another to wear a shirt that says: "Hey! I have tits! Stop and stare, if you dare! Maybe come a little closer?"

You thus tease men by planting impure thoughts in their heads, and then damn them if they lack the self-restraint to refuse the logical conclusions of those impure thoughts.

Unless you're willing to put out in full, it's best not to be a tease. That just drives men to anger. And some of them lack the self-restraint to behave themselves when they get angry. The only benefit to that, is you weed out faster those who don't deserve to walk among us. But you also put yourself in the hospital faster that way, offsetting the societal benefits.

I don't know so much about the provocative and covering up part, but if my date showed up wearing something like that I'm either leaving or making sure I only pay for my meal (assuming we're out to eat) and I will never go out on another date with that girl. That would be like if I went out on a date with a girl and I showed up in sweatpants and a hoodie. If I'm in a relationship with someone and our "date" night was the movies, the beach, or something of that nature then that's one thing, but if I'm starting to get to know a girl and that's how she's presenting herself? Nope. In my head I'm thinking, this is the nicest she will ever present herself as to me. . . and she can't even wear a decent shirt...

[vishna]

Once my boyfriend remarked that a girl needed to cover up (she was wearing shorts and a t shirt) I didn't even notice. To be honest, she wasn't even being super revealing... I think people need to mind their business overall, don't sweat the little stuff.

[luvstoned4him]

If he is really interested in making you his, then he might not feel too good about other men seeings those extra bits of you.

[lumos]

Because they're twats and think they have a say in anything that concerns our bodies/style/personalities.

[Anonymous]

Because some of them were struggling to keep their rock hard d**k hidden.

[extraman]

Not all guys care that much, but as everyone else has said it's either a control thing or a judgment thing: either they don't want you to go out looking like you want other peoples' attention or they don't want to be seen with someone who looks like they want other peoples' attention.

Some men are raised or grow up to believe that how their date presents themselves reflects on them. While I'm sure people do judge other people on how their date presents themselves, I think guys who go out of their way to censure their date for their clothing are overthinking the issue.

[WhistleForTheChoir]

Depends on the guy really. I honestly couldn't tell you what is "wrong" with that shirt, so I can't tell you that other dude's thought-process. Pro-tip: dress how you want. If you want to wear jean-shorts with suspenders and your titties hanging out, live how you wanna live, ya know? I mean I might think you're a little overly "eccentric" at that point, but it's cool.

[Mega_illuminati]

It is part jealousy and part posessiveness. I would not want other guys to ogle my girl. I think even girls would do the same. I have seen girls get defensive when other girls ogle their boyfriends.

[Anonymous]

Cause modestly is hot and shows off sexy confidence. Dressing down only makes you look like a slut and he has a higher viewpoint of you than you look. He wants you to look as classy as you are.

I only joke about it with my female freind's whose parent's I know are very reserved and don't want them out there showing off skin.

TBH it looks like you want to fuck him and can't wait. Your already down one layer.

[Voidling]

I would say something like this myself. Well yes you look really sexy in this but this is the problem at the same time he probably didn't want that you attract any other guys. The other reason is that it maybe make him feel insecure seeing you like this because it looks damn sexy

[SupMates]

Good luck dating girls, you control freak

[Ganbygail12]

I personally would never wear that on a date. Put on something that actually looks good, not your lounge clothes. Unless you were meeting for any early morning workout?

[wankiam]

he was insecure and didn't like the fact other guys would be looking... personally i would be pleased to show you off and flattered by other guys looking at you

[FakeName123]

Because said guy doesn't want to date a girl who dresses provocative to get some extra attention, but a long-term relationship.

Dressing to get attention is pretty toxic for that aim though.

[es20490446e]

Wanting attention from someone you like is just the natural thing to happen. The rest is eunuc church bullshit.

[Drifter83UK]

because they care too much about what other people think and are morons.

[ShadowUnicorneTears]

It could be one of many reasons here's some common ones;
A) super religious in the "moral terror" sense
B) thinks he owns you
C) is embarrassed to be seen with someone better looking
Pretty much an asshole.

[CasaNorba]

I seen women wear things far more provocative then this and never once have I had the urge to cover up. I'm guessing him your date is a very possessive person and don't want other dudes checking you out

[Vanjasper]

Because they fear you will attract someone more attractive than them. It's that simple.

[Eridan]

Because he's:
a) a bit of an asshole who doesn't respect other people's self-expression
b) there's no b

[ATuairiscean]

Seems very judgmental - Who was he to you? - Even if he was close to you, it is a bit controlly - Only person I would give a bit of leeway to would be a father/guardian

[zombiebabe]

i guess its because at that moment you're getting attention from other guys around and maybe your man doesn't really like it

[AshrafWest]

I wouldn't say that on a first date, but maybe later on if I want to keep my eyes on her face I will tell her.

[notlrac]

i feel perhaps he might a touch of insecurity by the photo see nothing wrong with what you are wearing

[InfoBot]

I would only give you an opinion if you asked for it. I wouldn't just force my opinion on you.

[Shaft50]

I think he may have told you afterwards because in his mind, a decision had been made that he wanted to be serious, hence, some form of entitlement to tell you how to dress.

[es20490446e]

Because some people liked to believe they are in possession of the moral truth.

[mattmanyah]

Because there's other people around... your just asking for trouble its a sign he cares

[tntsp1]

... I don't feel the need to do this? I don't really care?

[ColoradoChick84]

If some guy tells me what to wear, I would flip him over his head.

[SupMates]

I do not, but some guys think they own women. They're sick human beings treating women like property.

[Blitzkrieger]

Who says we want to be seen with a woman who dresses that way?

[cunningwolf22]

be with a man who njoy Ur madness not with who force u to act normal. do whatever you want to do. don't give a fk.

[catelyntje]

I don't know he should shut up he's not your parent

[Midget_Hug]

Signaling. Dressing provocatively signals singleness and openness to sex.

[YHL6965]

I don't know to be honest. I mean, it's not their boobs. Maybe because they think women belong to them? (which is completely dumb)

[Anonymous]

Because it's embarrassing and disrespectful. My girlfriend would never do that to me. She has too much class to be so trashy.

[Anonymous]

That tshirt looks a bit slutty. Guys want you to look like that but only for them and not every other guy who happens to see you.

[red324]

I'd say so...

[red324]

I think if I was a girl with boobs that big I just wouldn't wear a top like that.

[Anonymous]

Damn! I'd say that shirt (with a body like that) is pretty ideal for a date! I know as a guy I'd LOVE that! lol! How was your date, btw?

[DonkeyRick69]

Where are you dating Saudi Arabia?

[Koocatjayz6]

Lmmfao that shit was hella funny!!

[savalisk]

What guys are you associating yourself with?

[Koocatjayz6]

I know right I wouldn't give a damn as long as your on a date with me and its jumping we cool for real

[Agent]

I don't get it either. That's just a tanktop.

[BronzedAdonis]

does he work for the FCC or something?

[Anonymous]

because he does not want others to stare at you.

[Anonymous]

You go on a date in a wife-beater?

[Maxemeister]

Do you know what a t shirt is?

[Transigence]

"got told" by whom?

[Silver158]
