Do some men think that women dress up FOR them?

Question

Miristheiss · Accepted Answer

Mmmm yes and no.

My wife will wear things from time to time that she knows I like on her or I've commented on before about how good I think she looks in it.

I'm sure women have an inner want to look nice regardless.

If it is not for me then there are occasions I would object to her outfit.
My wife isn't the type and I wouldn't have married her if she was but some women do dress pretty sexy and revealing. If she is in a relationship and is going out without her mate looking like that... if I were the mate I'd be turned off of the relationship with her at that point.

As I said I wouldn't have dated a girl who wanted to go out clubbing and hitting bars and dressing really hot and sexy without her mate. I wouldn't have wanted anything to do with that.

I once had a discussion with a girlfriend about 7 years ago who worked and looked really nice for work, jewelry, hair done up, make up, really nice professional skirts and stuff... and I never got to see her in them and she wash it all off and change into sweats by the time I came over. She wanted to get that stuff off and feel comfy. I did feel a little hurt that everyone got to see her looking her best and I always got the bum leftovers. I had asked her to occasionally dress up with me.

She doesn't always have to dress up for her guy but it sucks if she never dresses up for him.

Some do. Everyone has different motives. I'm trying to work my way into another living scenario, where I can organize my life as I see fit, and protect my property. Basic rights that I've always been denied while growing up. Even in the home, I've had to put up with it! What's Bob's is Bob's, but what's mine somehow always becomes "community property"! I'm fed up with always ending up places where that is how my stuff is treated. So now, I'm determined to alleviate that situation!
If a woman finds me and whatever trailer home I have to stoop to just to afford my escape to be attractive , great. But at this point, it's about never being stepped on ever again.

Sometimes we do, and sometimes we don't. If you were going on a date with a guy you really liked, then yeah you probably dressed up for him because you want him to be impressed and see that you care. Sometimes you just want to feel sexy and dress up for yourself. It doesn't always have to be crazed feminism love.

OF COURSE. Some women allege they dress up for other women and compete, Yeah right. Tell that to others who believe that. That is not true.

Diamold · Answer

Oh please... someone with a brain will get there
If you were alone in the world, you would never bother about taking care of your image
Human beings are lazy by nature, we only do stuff to look good for our family and friends (and other people we want to impress)
You say you dress up to feel good with yourself, but the reason you feel good is because your brain thinks you look attractive for other people the way you dress up (when you look to yourself in the mirror)
Women dress up to impress either other guys or other girls
And men dress up for the same reason, they want to impress other girls or other guys
Depending on their sexuality
That's how it works

guesswhoseback · Answer

They dress up to look good and for attention. Attention to compete with other girls and to get attention from guys. Also you feel more confident when you dress well.

But truth be told I’m less likely to approach a provocatively dressed woman at club, party or social event. I might say a quick hello but I won’t give her the satisfaction of teasing then rejecting. Different story if she introduces herself to me.

But honestly don’t trust women who intentionally dress provocatively. They are usually the first to scream about sexual harassment whether real or imagined.

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

Well yes because they do. You don't dress in a way that shows off secondary sex characteristics that enhances the traits that the opposite sex find desirable and have it not be for them. You like the attention, but its for the male attention you get for dressing that way that makes you feel good about yourself. Its kind of like if guys said they don't work out and try to look good for women, it would be a lie.

ohshee · Answer

You know one of the coolest thing about women besides their beautiful but they have feelings and they want to feel a certain way so they dress up they put their makeup on to show exactly how they're feeling and how they want to be seen and that's what I love about them is a do it to feel good they do it because that's who they want to be that day and that's beautiful

K-I-S-S · Answer

Some do.

It's because a lot of men choose what they wear based on what women woupd like too. We are thought at a young age that no girl would want a guy with a bad clothes, it is pretty true though.

So i guess we expect the same behavior from women.

Well, that's how things are done in our country.

Dongtai · Answer

Not all women but I know some women do. For example when I go out on a date, I know my girl puts a little extra effort into her appearance for me, just like I put extra effort into how I look for her.

Random women though? I don’t really think about it. If she looks nice I just assume she has a really good fashion sense

hahahmm · Answer

Because we're with/been with women who DID. We're not all desperate guys who settle for women who just dress for feminists/lesbians or to copy whatever plastic surgery freak they follow online.

It's similar to weight. The average woman today is out of shape. But the average woman with successful guys is NOT.

Weasly · Answer

Well that's a stupid question, no answer to that question can be correct.

Some dress up for themselves.

Some dress up for the people they are going out with. (Birthday party/hen do/wedding)

Some dress up for the guys they find out

Some dress up for the women the find out

Somendress up for other reasons.

Some dress up for their partners.

Some do it for several of those at once.

Stoner710 · Answer

I mean that’s kind of the hole point, why get all dress up and fancy if your not trying to get attention it’s may not be from guys it may be to show up other women, but your not going to get dressed up do all the make up work if you weren’t doing it for someone other then your self why not just chill in sweat pants or party in normal jeans. You are clearly doing it to get some sort of attention if you don’t want the attention don’t dress up

jshm2 · Answer

They don't.

They think you're "game," and so they'll insert coin and play.

You don't seem to understand that if you're in a free state, then it means impressions are everything.

If you're dressed like a hooker, or party girl, then it's your fault, not theirs.

hellacray · Answer

Ugh... Yes?

When you go on a date you don't dress up to impress the guy?

You don't spend hours styling your hair, applying makeup, and picking out clothes to make others notice?

Like come on... Get with the times. We have social media like instagram and even onlyfans where it's all about getting views from guys.

ThisIsMyOpinion · Answer

It's the same as us.
We dress because we feel like we look good and we like that feeling.
Of course if we see someone looking at us is a plus!

Not to say that we don't dress to impress on certain situations. It's a stereotype that only girls do that, but we know how to do it too.

Guanfei · Answer

People, and not just women, dress for others, not just for men.
Because the idea is that people like how they look, which in turn will make them feel good about themselves.
It's about shining and being validated by other people as someone attractive.

reallyhonestguy · Answer

It depends on what you're dressing..

If you show cleavage, or put padded bras or push up that will mean that you're dressing to caught the attention of man. Even if you think your not you are in your subconscious.
Your looks will define people's opinion of you.

As a guy, I don't like women to show cleavage because I love boobs and that makes me feel uncomfortable because I don't want to look because that would be in my mind disrespectful (although they are meant to look...)

Anonymous · Answer

I believe most of the time it's largely for attention, but also for their self esteem. But the attention goes hand in hand with that. Whether it be male or female. You ever notice the very FIRST thing women do when they see each other is comment one another on their looks? Always without fail.

Anonymous · Answer

The way you word it makes it sound different to how it is. Like y’all might not dress up for attention from men but y’all know good and well you’ll probably get that attention like when a girl posts a twerk video on Instagram because she feels “confident” and it’s “for her” like yea sure but you put it out in public knowing people will see and react so like 🤷‍♂️ I don’t really care

TheorionMage · Answer

HELL YES!

AmandaYVR · Answer

Some women do dress up for men sometimes. This is an odd thing to deny or disagree with.

wmasters · Answer

Yes, men who have common sense. Men are the opposite sex of women. It's a studied fact women, in general, are biologically driven to visually attract men. Only people who are brainwashed by 3rd wave feminism will state otherwise.

SaraSmithishere · Answer

I think some do if they're desire is to hook up or grab a man's attention, but as a whole, I don't think women do, and men who think that are dillusional.

Tstrbrainer · Answer

Some of my friends had told that to me in the past, but I never believed it to be true as I'm aware that there are also lesbians and asexual women who likes to dress up.

And even if they do, there are tones of men here, so there's no way that they are doing it for me.

So I just enjoy the view

Anonymous · Answer

When I dress up its for me, because I want to look cute and make an impression. But I can't deny that its a little bit for reasons of wanting guys to think I look good. This does NOT mean I want to be stared at ogled or leered at!! and not to have gross things said to me or to have a guy I don't know touch me.

Stephie2369 · Answer

I think we dress for other women I know I love to hear compliments from other women more than guys!

Puppystarfish23 · Answer

I don't dress for men I dress so other girls can tell me I have a cute outfit.

oddwaffle · Answer

Sometime you just want to dress up to feel confident, to feel better... etc. Once you are comfortable then you just go back to sweats and baggy socks. At least that's what see girls do anyways.

VanillaSalt · Answer

Women dress up to to look good... aka for the approval of others around them. If it’s only for their approval then why can’t they fee sexy or beautiful without dressing up in a mini skirt?

fonduegirl · Answer

Some women do, some women don't. It's rude to assume.

Anonymous · Answer

Women do, on occasion, dress and act in a certain manner to impress men, and there is nothing wrong with that. Any woman who claims otherwise is lying to herself.

However I will concede, that most often, women dress up to impress/compete with other women.

Swordnen · Answer

Women dress up because they can unless and until
->They want to show off
-> They want to impress someone
-> They wants someone to notice them
-> they want their crush to notice them
->they want to look dominant

John_Doesnt · Answer

Women dress up because they like attention.  She wants you to respect her intelligence

kingofthellamas · Answer

Er yes. And it's often true that they do in relationships - and vice versa. But I think your post was referring to people that don't know each other. Well, I think they often do there as well, and again vice versa.

Anonymous · Answer

Who else are they dressing up for? ThEmSeLvEs? If they dress up for themselves then why do they only dress up like that whenever they are going out to bars and clubs whenever they 100 percent know that men are going to be there?

Ally247 · Answer

Have you met men? They think everything is for them

Anonymous · Answer

Yes because I have have had girlfriends and seen some of my friends’ girlfriends get pouty because they didn’t comment on the new outfit that they wore for the occasion.

That being said, I don’t assume they do it for me every time that’s why I fall for little things like that. I appreciate their presence a lot more than the type of clothes that they wear.

JassKaur · Answer

It seems like some do, as made apparent by the comments they made on here.

Bakry123 · Answer

Yep my old ex used to do that when we met in college she used to wear pink dress all the time its like a good memory 😅

alice55 · Answer

They ALL do it's annying as hell and when you try to explain them that it's false they don't believe it...

Anonymous · Answer

Sadly some of them do, which is why they try to control what we wear 😅 I told these men, unless they are paying for my monthly salary, I won’t change how I dress 🙌🏻

slatyb · Answer

My wife dresses up for me. I know, because she says "I wear this for you".

Iknowbestgirls · Answer

Some women do for the men they like and want to notice them. But I'm sure eanty just do it because they feel pretty dressing up super nice or super sexy.

AFellowWeeb · Answer

Bc you do? Women, when alone at home, dont put on makeup or dress well, quite the opposite. So that bs of ''i do this for myself'', is faker than the moonlanding

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, women obviously dress to impress men. They dress up for other reasons too, but it's no mystery that impressing and attracting men is a primary motive behind why women try to look as nice as they can.

Kiss_Me · Answer

Hell No. Women dress in competition with other women.

MountAverage · Answer

Yeah, a lot of men think that. I mean, obviously women do sometimes dress up for men, in certain situations. But to think they do that in everyday life is ridiculous.

Scholastic · Answer

Lol... Screaming at men for being unable to outdo your female competition? I don't care one bit - dressing up is idiocy anyhow. You dress up for success, work/business wise - you dress down for love.

Rebecka33 · Answer

True for me everytime I dress up its assumed for a man lol.

HikerDude · Answer

Women do dress up for men. More specifically, they dress up to get male attention.

na2398 · Answer

Yes, women do dress up to feel better about themselves. Even as a man, I'd want to look the best possible. :) There's nothing wrong with that.

Mr_longLegz · Answer

Some, I have met a handful of people in my life who really thought their girl did literally everything with them in mind.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, it’s a sensible thing to think.

Men dress for women when they want their attention. It’s just the normal way to think. Girls these days just tend to have a stick up their butt about for no reason.

Vetis · Answer

It's not so much that they're dressing up for random men, but they are dressing up for men. If men didn't exist women wouldn't even get dressed, theyd walk nude.

darkcloud1945 · Answer

Some women dress for other women what is the big deal. People can suck one or the other or both. I personally do not care have at it

Anonymous · Answer

She let me fuck her while my bros film it... So yeah they do it for us. Sexual emotion is the strong motivator in life and is the only true emotion there is. Every other emotion is transmuted from that.
