Guys, what style swimsuit should a girl wear if she wants the respect of relationship-oriented men?

[Bethany22]

Like, do relationship-oriented men lose respect for women who wear even one-piece bathing suits, as they don't like the fact that other men get to see just as much of her body as all the other guys do? Should women wear swimsuits with skirts on them if they want to attract the right type of guy, or is that going overboard?

[Lliam]

Not all relationship-oriented men are prudes. Many appreciate cute, sexy women.
You sound pretty conservative, so to appeal to a guy whose values match yours, you probably don't want to wear a micro, string bikini. But there are lots of cute styles out there from one piece to two piece.

I think you should choose something that you like; something that shows off your beauty and makes you look pretty, instead of trying to second guess some guy's taste. Besides, guys with healthy brains are attracted to cute girls. Overly conservative, jealous, possessive guys are psychos.

So what kind of girl are you?

Thanks for the MHO, Bethany. :-)

It's not the swimsuit so much as the types of pictures she posts of herself in it. She can have the skimpiest bikini but if she isn't posting pics of herself in it to IG guys won't mind. Even if she has a one-piece if there are ass pics it's a problem.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

If you want a relationship-oriented man, then you should dress the way that you'd want to dress while in a relationship. That will attract men who want to be in a relationship with someone who dresses like you do. And then you both can be in a relationship how you like. 👍

IMHO women should wear what they are comfortable wearing. To me the amount of skin showing doesn't change how attractive a woman is.

Some very skimpy suits are designed for attention - and that is OK, but if I was looking for a partner I'd have a concern that she was looking for someone who reacted just to her appearance, not anything else

[EricSummer]

Here in Switzerland my respect does not depend on the type of swimwear a woman wears. This also includes full-body coverage that some Muslim women prefer. In neighboring Germany you can also swim topless in certain areas and pools.

I should add that I'm naturally relationship-oriented, so you can count me in the statistics.

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't think less of a girl who wears a bikini, but all bikinis are not alike. This is fairly modest

and this is not:

So, there is no problem with a bikini per se, but one that only hides about 4 square inches of your body is slutty and loses respect.

[Lionman95]

Tricky question. I would say that any kind is ok that´s not meant to be showing off since there are bikinis that just seem to consist off a bare minimum of fabric. Like choose plain colours for example. You can go by a one-piece and also with a bikini, take something you´re comfortable wearing in front of people you know.

I think that it should be up to her on what she wears but I guess it's one of those things that considerations are important. As a guy needs to consider what she wants/feels comfortable with and vise versa. That is the most it should be as being in a relationship it's about being considerate and respectful to your partner.

I personally don't have any issues with most swimwear aside from the ridiculous string like stuff that's like wearing nothing. I think I'd be somewhat uncomfortable with a partner wearing them and I don't think they look good at all either.

Hopefully I've made sense.

[loveslongnails]

If your primary concern is how a man will judge you based on your swimsuit choice, versus how YOU judge your appearance in a swimsuit, I'd say you've already thrown yourself overboard. Wear what you like - it's your body. If a guy thinks you're over-exposed but you're perfectly comfortable with it, he's NOT your guy, so why would you care?

[GreatBigCircles]

The kind that accurate represents who she is. A relationship oriented guy is interested in someone they can spend their lives with. And very few guys want to spend their life with someone that is constantly trying to be someone they're not.

[Stoner710]

I love this question, no we’re not expecting women to go like Helena Bonham Carter In Sweeney Todd and one piece is fine.

[slatyb]

Forget the haters and dress as you please. Then you will attract a man who likes your style.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

If a girl is Single I think she should wear whatever bathing suit and / or bikini suit she finds comfortable, I think If she's looking for a guy she shouldn't show her breast, etc.

[TallAnon]

Just don't look like a hooker, wear more than 3 pieces of string and make sure everything is covered. At that point most men won't judge.

[RavVid]

One piece is more elegant. It also sends a "i'm not trying to show everything I've got". So it does signal in the right direction in that way. Skirts would be silly.

[KatherineJ]

Wear what you think flatters you. I mean you don’t have to have things hanging out, but wear what you like.

[AviatorTom]

A woman can wear whatever kind of bathing suit she wants and is most comfortable with. A guy doesn't show a lack of respect because a woman wears a suit.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

She should wear whatever she likes to wear, respect your wishes first.

[Goofy9009]

a standard bikini would work , or a 1 piece swimsuit would work too (depends on your preference/comfort level on the swimsuit you want to wear )

[NYCQuestions1976]

Bathing suits are subjective. Wear whatever you're comfortable wearing.

[najekim]

I kinda want to go the other way. The less material the swimsuit has and the lady wearing it feels comfortable about it, the more confident she will appear. Confidence in herself is a big plus in my book.

[Jazzy54]

The last time I wore a one piece, I didn’t turn any heads. Then again, I don’t like drawing attention to myself anyway. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Boomchakalaca]

I dont think swimsuits would rlly matter as to clothes.

[Littlejugs99]

I think you can wear a two piece bikini without being too slutty

[Boomchakalaca]

For the most part yes.

[dreamstar72]

She should be allowed to wear most style without judgement. If someone looks down on her for what she is wearing then they are not worth her respect.

[bowenw]

This has never crossed my mind. I think women should wear whatever they are comfortable wearing.

[elizamichale1]

I think associating respect with how we dress or wht kind of swimsuit we like isn't really fair

[FunkyMonkee]

Doesn't really matter to me. I'm interested in her for HER, NOT her wardrobe.

[gothbxtch]

the kind of men, relationship-oriented or not, who would stop respecting a girl because of a swimsuit doesn't deserve her respect.

[Sasha0426]

If that’s the case, then the guy in the relationship should not be shirtless 🤷‍♀️

[CuriousMufuxka]

What respect? Show skin if you wish, but it's not exactly the place for a dating pool..

[Hithere4567]

A girl's bathing suit won't make a difference for me.

[Sharkstealth]

I like slingshot. I would respect you in it. In public one piece or bikini. I have seen girls who look amazing in a one piece.

[Nazgol]

No, a one piece is fine enough. No need for skirt. Anything guy who is judgmental about a one piece needs to get his head checked!

[LiamJHayden]

I live at the beach. To me it does not matter.

[CaptainSmartass]

Wear whatever makes you comfortable.

Simples...

[Wise4myage]

I say go with whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident.

[Shy_Steve]

Just a basic bikini is okay and just a pair of Shorts looks respectable.

[justabuddy]

I don't think it's what you want specifically, but who you flaunt it too.

[justabuddy]

*wear

[ericclayton]

No, it's the beach.

[ProbablyClueless]

Whatever she feels comfortable in 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Anonymous]

Micro g-string bikini

[mommymommymommy]

It shouldn't matter what he wants

[JesseP1nk]

She can wear whatever she wants...

[shortster]

One piece
