Is it better for men and women to dress beautifully only at home and always cover up in public in order to avoid unfaithful flirting with strangers?

Question

For certain occasions both men and women should know to dress modestly.

There’s so much grey area so it will always come down to the purpose of dressing up and discernment. Dressing up or revealing our natural physique/traits tends to arouse others and call for unwanted attention. It is almost hardwired in the biology of the entire kingdom of Animalia.

If the man and woman are ready for all the catcalls, flirting, advances then by all means. Otherwise one should dress with a little more consideration to the occasion and the people (kids included)

(for example: Would you drink alcohol in front of a great friend of yours that has DUI and trying to get their stuff together?)

I like to keep a rule of thumb for myself: what’s my purpose for wearing this today? Am I wanting a boost in self-esteem? Attention?
Will there be someone who will be affected by me wearing this?

I believe if we’re intentionally wanting to negatively affect others then we’re not dressed for the right reasons. It never hurts to have an extra change of clothes or accessory though. I will dress as polished as I can and keep it PG if there are kids around or if its something that I know will be broadcasted. Otherwise, Im an adult and you are too and we will have to live with decisions we make about how little or revealing we choose to dress

Eh, it is not a crime if someone tries to flirt with you. The crime is when you married and are disloyal by flirting/actively encouraging that person. And obviously even if you aren't married and you go flirting it's an indication that you aren't that into your current partner & they would be wise to take note and make choices accordingly. But luckily for women most guys are too dumb -- when they are young -- to believe that their girlfriend is actively looking to upgrade.

It happens that if a woman is really into her man she tends to dress more modest than when she is fishing for a new man. But a woman could dress "beautifully" and still be loyal too. There's different degrees to it. Dressing literally like a hooker isn't the same as looking good in a well put together outfit.

Now as far as men dress -- to me this is a foreign concept because women seem to most be attracted to charisma. His outfit might be a symptom of charisma but not a cause. A guy who has zero social skills can wear the best clothes in the world and it's not going to help him get a woman. A homeless dude with charisma (who just took a shower) can get almost any woman. Maybe not for long term but he could still get her.

My 2 cents...

This question doesn't make much sense. You should be able to dress nicely wherever you go... Generally, clothing for home tends to be a bit more comfortable and relaxed because that's the purpose of that space. Clothing for places to which you're headed are more specifically geared towards the activity or crowd you'll be with (e. g., church/temple, concert, gala, hiking, etc. etc. etc.).

and what is wrong with flirting? when we flirt, our clothes could be on the very end of the list of important things... when the first places are taken by  intelligence, wit, sense of humor ...

strangeatcircleK · Answer

It's a complicated question but I say yes and no.

Dress to be comfortable, but dress in a way that you don't get flirty attention

But... but... There are many girls that still like to feel sexy even when in a relationship so it's difficult...

It honestly is.. if a girl was hitting on me while I was in a relationship. I can't say I would not enjoy it or be flattered but I think it really comes down to be being strong no matter which outfit and saying I'm witn someone it's not fair to lead someone on

Alli112 · Answer

This question is inherently flawed in that is falsely assumes that dressing "beautifully" (whatever that might mean to you specifically) will inevitably lead to the well-dressed person choosing to be unfaithful to their partner and flirting with other people should they enter a public space. Which, obviously, is a load of crap. If a person is faithful then how they dress doesn't matter, and if they're unfaithful than how they dress still won't matter.

My Goddess is the embodiment of allure and command, and She understands the delicate balance between desire and obedience. In the sacred space of our private domain, where her divine beauty reigns supreme, she adorns herself lavishly, knowing that her every move captivates and enthralls her devoted servant. I, @on_my_knees, am but a humble witness to her splendor, eternally grateful for any glimpse of her radiant body, which I worship with my heart and soul.

Tannhauser · Answer

There's a difference between dressing nicely and looking good vs dressing in a sexually suggestive way.

The first is great to do anywhere and the second should only be done around your partner

Either way its a test of your + your partners loyalty to each other to receive others attention and consistently decline it

HighValue · Answer

Any provocative dress when out in public without their partner, or posting pictures like that online is cheating.

nastyb · Answer

You would only dress like shit in public if you KNOW you wouldn't be able to say no to other peoples advances. People who are confident in themselves won't feel a need to do something as silly as this

Jessikaah91 · Answer

Simple.. don't give people a reason to think there can be flirting...

Drewtate · Answer

Modesty for wives and girlfriend's is a must. When a woman who should be spoken for is dressing proactively she is telling the world she is available and not committed to her current relationship.

It is better for people to wear what they want without fearing judgement.

spartan55 · Answer

Yeah, because if I don't cover up I'll have women literally chasing me everywhere I go.

DrPepper12 · Answer

Thats odd. Why not dress how you want whetever you want according to how you feel? That type of circumscription is much worse than flirting.
