Why do girls dress up to get attention, but then say they don't like when guys give them attention for they way they look?

Why do girls put on tight clothes, that show some skin and go out to have fun but then claim they don't like when guys give them attention based on how they look? Why wear those kind of tight and uncomfortable clothes then?

I was shopping and saw this really attractive girl, she was wearing a skirt and small spaghetti strap top that showed her belly a little. I was thinking of just starting a conversation but thought if I go up to her and say anything, she will think I'm just making a move because I am sexually attracted (based on her looks) and because of that possibly superficial. I don't want to give off the sence that I just came up to talk to her just because she looks fine, but that honestly the truth!

Thank you all for you great answers, I have come to understand a little more why girls dress the way they do. I love the way they dress, and hope this question was of help to those who wanted a little clarification

  • a lot of this could be because girls' friends are dressing up like this and it's all to fit in or whatever lol. but some girls feel like they need to get guys' attention and then reject them just so they can tell their friends. it's weird lol but i've seen it happen. hoped this helped!

    • Thanks, thats horrible!

    • i know it's so messed up! i personally don't do this and there are a bunch of girls who don't, it's just hard to find them lol. they just like receiving attention and reactions from other people and then they get cocky. le sigh...

    • So should guys not give attention to the girls that are trying to get attention?

    • Show All
  • because we want guys to buy drinks for us and they're not always uncomfortable and we're trying to impress our own friends. We comment on it because society makes it seem as if we're sluts if we wear something remotely revealing

  • Maybe it's for herself, maybe for her friends, maybe for some other guy that isn't a random stranger, and some do dress for strangers. However, I'm pretty sure it's mostly for herself.

    • If I may ask, what does a girl seek to achieve if she dresses up for herself? What if it's for some other guy (s)? Assuming it's an outfit that's revealing and gets attention...

    • Because it's her style? Because she or someone else spent so much money on something and doesn't want it to go to waste? Because she loves herself enough to think that the clothes fit her? The girl might even wear it because why not, or just for kicks because who cares? Unless someone does and makes her feel like she can't wear them without the cat calls and can't look at herself in a shop's window and say "I like this look" without thinking "They think I'm a tramp?". I don't know, why do you dress up the way you do? Maybe it's just like how every other human being does, just as she. You like denim then you go wear it or wear what you feel like wearing. Now on the account of other guys, like I said, it may be for strangers or other guys she already knows! She might be meeting up with her boyfriend or a potential love interest. She might be going to the club to find someone that is to her taste. Simple stuff really. Maybe you'll disagree but that's fine. Just stating my own opinion.

    • That's a perfect answer, thank you

  • They only want *certain* men to pay attention to them. And those certain men are NOT the 80% that aren't scumbags or upper upper tier.

  • Because girls like to talk. This has been know for centuries :).

  • that's a good question i don't know, i dress what ever is comfortable to me.

  • they dont want to be judge

  • I honestly dont even know where to begin with this question.. Are you asking this because the same thing happened to you?

  • Most of us don't dress up for other people. We dress up so we feel better about ourselves, and at the end of the day the only opinion that matters is your own

    • Women don't dress up for other people but they also don't dress up when they are not around people. LOL

    • How can you be so sure of that? I know I try on outfits at home all the time

  • Some women aren't really dressing for anyone other then themselves. Some women just feel more confident in clothes like that. Kinda complicated.

  • maybe they do it because they think its normal

  • Women are backwards.

  • wrong guy's giving them attention. they dress up for someone specific, and then they forget there's millions of other men in the world

    • 😂 😂 😂

    • thats a terrible MHO you gave
