Give her some freedom, and who cares what people think? As long as she's not going to clubs naked it'll be fine

It's about "under wraps." It's about listening to the most important person in your life and trying to understand their viewpoint. Like I said, if it was another girl who already dressed like that, I would probably feel different.

Whenever she tells me do this or do that I always listen and try to understand her viewpoint.


Well there's understanding the views of those important to you and then there is telling those important to you NOT to do something and them doing whatever you say.
For her to do what you say so willingly no questions asked is a bit odd.
Sweet Jesus if my boyfriend of three years ever told me that he was worried about me going out in a certain outfit because he didn't want other people to judge him I'd prance around in my knickers in the middle of the street and to hell with him!

Very mature. Only would make yourself look silly. I know you were exaggerating there though :tongue:

Don't like people perving at her. Girls who dress that way dress for one reason in that manner-to get guy approval.

You should be content looking good modestly.

Is that so? It would make me look a lot less silly than kowtowing to my boyfriend's request that I not wear shorts and tights like a common hussy in case, heaven forbid, anyone judged HIM based on my sartorial choices!
Clothes are clothes, fashions change every season. Christ, even Zara has 13 collections in one whole year. That's a hell of a lot of fashion trends flying around. If your girlfriend wants to wear these shorts (respectably with tights! might I add), who are you to stop her? At least she wants to wear clothes! If she acts strangely in her mannerisms, then you have permission to be suspicious, but not with a pair of shorts. It could be a lot worse! :smile:

If you trust and respect your girlfriend you shouldn't be preoccupied with how the way she dresses makes other people perceive her. You should support her and give her even more confidence to wear what makes her feel good.

P.s. it doesn't matter if your girlfriend is wearing a bikini or tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie - if people want to look and find her attractive then they will.

This is nonsense

We constantly redefine ourselves and a part of being young is experimenting with one's style

Our clothes do not define us and there is no way that a person should allow other people's prejudices to define us either



Do you actually want advice or do you just want to wallow in your own views

If the answer is yes, you do want advice then I would suggest that you comment on what other girls wear ... "That is a nice outfit, would it suit you" for example
Dude alot of these people are giving foolish answers, most likely because they don't have a girlfriend and so wouldn't understand. I believe if she is wearing particularly short or particularly tight clothes then its fair of you to say something. Especially if they are going to somewhere with alcohol and predatory guys (most clubs). Girls dress a certain way to attract guys. Whether they want to act upon this is a different story. Because of this, I think it's perfectly reasonable for you to question it, as it could suggest she is aiming to receive attention or whatever. Its not you being controlling, its a perfectly natural reaction

If you think that a girl wearing demin shorts is a "hoe" with no self-respect then you seriously have issues. It has NOTHING to do with self-respect. Seems like you are just embarrassed by her. That is both unreasonable and worrying for your relationship.
Honestly OP,when the feminists see this,you are going to get killed. Personally,I think she perhaps just fancied a change of style,you have been together for six years,surely her fashion has changed intermittenly over that time period?
It's her choice and has nothing to do with you. Yes, you can give your opinions if she asks about whether you think she looks nice in something or whether you consider something to be too revealing, but at the end of the day, if she decides to still wear it, that's her choice and has nothing to do with you.

The way people judge you based on her clothing is irrelevant - she should be able to wear what she wants without having to think about everyone linked to her. And if people judge you, then they're the stupid ones for caring about something as silly as your girlfriend's clothing.

Thanks. I do. Even when she puts up pictures on facebook she will often ask me first how it looks. I love being part of her life. I will then say what I think and usually she agrees. This isn't because she is scared, she says that I usually get it right from past experience with things.

Lol feminists are stupid, you even get pro porn ones :rolleyes:

Yeah it has changed considerably as people have said, fashion changes a lot. However, they have all consistently been not revealing. I don't know, I am just getting a tad uncomfortable with how she is now. I suppose it's a deeper problem. I know how easily she gets pleased if someone looks at her-even if she doesn't like them-she said she is trying to change this. If she was a bit laid back about things I wouldn't care as much.

Thank you. When you love someone so much, I guess you don't want them to be viewed as a piece of meat. Like I said the problem is deeper because I know how slaggish some of her new friends are and I am mindful of that.

Looks like you lack basic reading skills. I never said that.
