Do you agree it is true men are likely to respect a woman more if she doesn’t wear revealing clothing?

Yes, it's generally true. Obviously context is important, though. If you're wearing a bikini at the beach, you might be wearing revealing clothing, but it's appropriate to the situation, and not a big deal. If you're wearing a little cocktail dress to a night club, it might be revealing, but it's appropriate to the situation. If you wore the same dress to your office job, that would NOT be appropriate, and people would lose respect for you.

Context aside, when women wear revealing clothing, they're doing so because they want attention, and they know that wearing such clothing will get them attention. Obviously that's going to be SEXUAL attention - you don't show off your tits to get attention for your deep thoughts - and guys tend to respect women less when they are obviously seeking sexual attention from the world.

This doesn't mean that the same guy won't give the girl his attention - he often will - but his attention will also be sexual and ONLY sexual. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you're looking for, but if you are looking for respect, and if you are looking for a committed relationship, then you are going about it the wrong way and are working against your own best interests.

I agree with this. As long as the outfit is at least somewhat appropriate for the setting. It's funny to notice some people dress more modestly once taken.

[ohshee]

It doesn't matter how she dresses she could be halfway naked there are guys in this world did have to be a big mouth did have to let it be known did that girl just gave him a boner they can't help themselves they have no class they have no brains all they have is a big mouth no matter how a girl dresses she's dressing that way because she has the confidence to carry herself and the beauty behind it part of the body or the brains can a woman like that not only demands but commands respect and any guy that can't give her that respect just a fucking douchebag and not grown up past 10 years old it will run around like it's his first boner the sky is falling the sky is falling my first boner my first boner because your mentality just is not there

[JessicaEarl]

There’s some pretty interesting studies out there about how dressing with revealing clothes messes with a males brain. I’d take a look! And take whatever the men say with a grain of salt. A lot of guys would say anything to get girls to dress sluttier

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I dress in less revealing clothes not to get respect of others, more because I respect myself and my body, and I don't display my sexual parts for just anyone...

[Ez-Bri-Z]

I think for some guys it is, but if it requires her to wear specific things in order to get his respect then I'm not interested in getting to know that kind of guy anyway.

[chrissykerdock]

i want to be a girl and wouldn't want someone who restricted me in anyway i like to wear make up and perfume too

[Daniela1982]

I would agree with that, but I'm sure guys have another view.

[888theGreat]

I have gotten some really good views

[CindyRuns]

I definitely find that !!!

I like looking stylish and at the same time classy !!!

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, it is true.

[SnakeBoop]

nah.

[ChrisMaster69]

Nope I respect her pretty much whatever she is wearing.

not respecting her simply because of her clothing is shallow.

how can a woman go from librarian look to out on the town look in a short skirt, suddenly lose respect?

it’s the same person, also other way around.

You Respect the Woman and not what she is wearing.

Going out in Newcastle or a number of UK cities, means you see loads of girls in short skirts and skimpy tops. It’s Fashion, it’s not always a sexual thing, it’s just the standard for a night out.

Then throw in say goth, emo looks, again just clothes and not the person.

Some people are far too judgmental.

as I said

You Respect the Woman and not the clothes.

[Lionman95]

Yes for me it does to be honest because it gives me a different focus. If she´s not showing off I concentrate on other things more like what she says.
by the way do I feel bad about that? Yes sometimes, but I don´t know how to change that.

[Berethor]

Maybe, but only if she is not a slut.

Guys will have a harder time thinking of anything other than sex if an apparant advertisement for sex is walking around them. When guys think about sex they tend to get competitive and aggressive, which often correlates with disrespectful.

[Adam1978]

Yes but that respect can completely disappear if she isn't respectful herself. So it just get you a bit further in the first impressions.

[GingerGuy]

I think it depends on the specific guy. Personally it doesn't matter to me at all what she wears. My respect isn't based on that at all.

[Heartache0405]

Yes. I would respect a woman more if they didn't dress like sluts thinking it's somehow empowering

[Bricealan]

I want a woman to dress the way she feel comfortable. A woman shopping in a store I frequent, wore a bra and top that left ALL but her nipples exposed, and she had huge breasts. That was over the top for me.

[andreasderjuengere]

I think this is partly true. Where: overly ''un-revealing'' clothing also may cause disrespect sometimes.

[Blackcupcake]

nope

[Aelleden]

Mmh i actually never realized but now that you tell that I must say my trust level would be biased indeed. I dont like women that are show off or take anything for granted because of their physical attributes tho so that could be a me-issue

[FilmGuy93]

Eh... it's more like men won't be as overtly sexual to her. I don't know that there is more respect though.

[changee]

Yes. I agree

[Danny_dan92]

I’m not the kind of guy that would expect her to dress completely covered from head to toe.


But optics wise if she’s always dressing provocatively, that’s gonna alter my perception of her. And in a negative way
