but admit it when you walk down stairs in a new miniskirt or *insert garment here* you would be dissapointed if he didnt appreciate it at least a tiny bit.


Oh yeah, of course, but my point is that I don't think it should be considered necessary/to enhance their chances of meeting some great guy, by any girl to dress up in miniskirts etc. I just don't, but then that's just me, and I do tend to be rather opinionated.

like fnord said, men tend to like being masculine by comparison to women, in actions and looks. eg a feminine acting girl will make a man feel more masculine, and he will like her because of this.


thats not what i said o_0

i agree with the person who said 'chances are, its looks that attracted him to get to know you in the first place' regardless of clothes. however, clothes play a part in it - would a guy really approach a shabby dressed woman? would he rathr approach a girl with a nice face, great breasts clearly visible through a skintight lowcut t shirt or nice legs visible under a super short miniskirt? short step away from skintight jeans with a thong hanging out the back?
men tend to be unable to distinguish between lust and genuine love - hence the expression love at first SIGHT.
in addition, like fnord said, men tend to like being masculine by comparison to women, in actions and looks. eg a feminine acting girl will make a man feel more masculine, and he will like her because of this. similarly a man looking at a woman in revealing clothes, clearly showing round breasts and an hourglass figure emphasises the difference between his and her gender so he feels more manly and assumes she is a real woman.


Puh-lease. Your stereotypes about male brains are insulting and ill-informed, as are your descriptions of women.

Of course, if you dress in a bin bag, nobody's going to be attracted to you. But there are ways of dressing reasonably modestly that still look nice and won't exactly turn men off. It's totally possible to look lovely without showing off every asset you have (or don't, in some cases). Wearing clothing that screams for attention will certainly get it, but that's not necessarily the right sort of attention if you're after a great relationship.

but those saying 'ooh my bf doesnt mind me looking like roadkill' chances are, a) you didnt meet him while looking like roadkill and b) youd be offended if he said 'you look like roadkill. that girl in the miniskirt is way hotter than you i know because i can see her breasts and legs. however you have a nice persoanlity and i prefer personality over looks therefore i can overlook you looking like roadkill, especially compared to that hottie.' c) who would you prefer your bf to be alone with more: a hot girl in a miniskirt and low cut top and stillettos OR a hot girl in a polo neck sweater and bootcut jeans.

dont you feel uncomfortable around other girls in revealing clothes? i have a much better figure than some of the girls i see parading around with all their midriff and cleavage and legs exposed in the middle of winter. but they get more attention.

and like you all have said, you get to know somene depending on how they look. no one has attempted to refute the idea of the probability of meeting a nice guy being higher if you are dressed revealingly

I said when I wake up in the morning, hung over, not out in public! I do care about my public image!

Nope, I don't. I know that he loves me, and I trust him. I also know that I have a good figure.

No, we haven't all said that, and yes, we have not only attempted to, but ACTUALLY refuted that idea.
God, you're actually a complete troll!

You really need to get over that bad stereotype. When will you start listening?

I'll refute it. Nice guys might notice you, but if they realise you're only dressing like that to get male attention, that would probably put them off.

As for my boyfriend, I think he'd mind if I consistently put no effort in at all, but at the same time doesn't expect me to be dressed to kill every time I see him. And of course, it means you get appreciated more when you do look lovely - which I must emphasise again, is not proportional to the amount of flesh showing.

When it comes to other girls, I'm surprisingly un-bothered by what they're wearing, it's much more about what they're doing. If a scantily clad girl is just chatting to him, I would care a lot less than if a girl dressed in a less exposed manner was openly flirting.

OK...a couple of years ago i finally grew some confidence and started to wear short skirts (i used to just wear baggy jeans). I never dressed sluttily (not much make up, no cleavage showing...i didnt have one lol) but i did wear some incredibly short skirts. And in 6 months, i received a couple of whistles from builders, one chatting up from a builder and one chatting up from a middle aged man....ok bit of a generalisation, but i attracted the wrong sort tbh. HOWEVER, i did also attract my bf who loves my legs and loves short skirts....
So i say it again, wear short skirts if u want, wear tight jeans if u want, just don't overdo it! Don't go for the complete slut look, go for "well-dressed and attractive". You're more likely to make friends that way too...many girls may find you threatening in the complete slut getup:smile:

Since when did wearing tight jeans or a top that fits mean you're not a decent girl? That's absolute rubbish.


here here.

all my tops "show the shape of the breast". i'd have to wear tents otherwise.. and i would not consider myself a tart!

but if men like women to dress like this, surely this will get me a bf?

Yep, good old Mr. Syphilis.
