Search Results: staying cool

I started thinking about my friends and how in the summertime, their prude/modest (or lack of) behavior shines.

Some of my friends like to go in as less clothes as possible in the summer. (Not to show off or to look sexy or anything, just trying to stay cool when we’re out in 100+ degree weather.) But like the guys will go without shirts and the girls will go out in shorts and crop tops and or sports bras (and not in the sexy looking ones).

Some of my other friends are completely covered up like we’re still in winter. They’re wearing jeans and long sleeve cardigans/shirts.

I started thinking that in my circle of friends, most of the ones that wear the less clothes as possible are guys; and they don’t seem to freak out or think I’m trying to be a show off if I do the same.

But I’ve noticed that most of my friends that are girls discourage me and others who dress cool for the weather, and call it “showing off” and inappropriate. And I’m not trying to come across as either. (Because I’m surely not wearing lattice crop tops & short little shorts that show practically everything.)

But anyway, when it comes to my experience, women seem to be more prude/modest.

But, then we look on social media, who’s always pretty much naked on there? The women... so, don’t know.

Which gender do you think is more “modest”?

I'm not saying going to the store like that, but somewhere kinda casual that could be somewhat explainable on why one would dress like this, like when working outside, or going hiking, or something like that - Either way, would it depend on the situation? Where you are? Who you'll be with? Etc?
If a girl dressed like that, would they seem like a show off, or just trying to stay cool?
