General Discussion Revealing clothes

[caparica007]

I think it's like saying all women watch porn no? Well, maybe women watch less. Good that you don't stereotype, you sound like a down to earth person.

LOL, capa! It's good to know not all men watch hard core porn We often assume most men do, but it's great a man stood up and attempted to destroy this stereotype. I personally hate stereotyping!

I have never assumed that all men watch hardcore porn. Porn, but not the hardcore type, necessarily lol. Most women watch porn too. It is a human sexual being thing, not a gender thing. We are sexual and we should just deal with that. I don't think women watch less porn, but society says that women must be a certain way an so women are less likely to be open about it. I watch all kinds of porn though. Heterosexual porn, gay porn, and lesbian porn.

Really interesting thread. I will be honest, I used to have problems with my wife wearing revealing clothing. I used to suggest that she try to be a little less revealing, and my explanation was that she would be attracting attention from men who were going to look at her for the wrong reasons. The reality is this, you should be aloud to wear whatever it is that you want to wear. I can be honest now and say that it was my own insecurity that lead me to suggest that she cover herself up. It was my own issues with attention. I think there also needs to be a balance. I would not be with my wife if I felt she had no self respect. There are women out there who literally go out of their way to attract attention with their bodies, and that to me is backwards and against all the gender equality that we are trying to accomplish. When a woman truly respects herself, she needs not flaunt her body to extremes. Remember, extremes go either way, extremely conservative, or extremely liberal...

Yeah, I think most men don't like their girls to wear revealing clothes because there are some underlaying insecurity issues. That's not always the rule tho, becuase my boyfriend is super insecure, but he doesn't mind I wear revealing clothes. He's european, so I guess he doesn't want to be seen like he's not as open as most people expect him to be.

Some men don't like their girls to wear revealing clothes because it's part of their culture and religion; some realigions ask women to dress modestly always. When I was going out with middle eastern men I knew I had to dress modestly too, I respected that. I tried not to offend them or their families, so I never showed my shoulders or legs.

You are right, a woman who respects herself wouldn't do that. There are some women who feel they're lacking something, and sometimes that's why they're so hungry for attention, even if it's the wrong type of attention I feel sorry for them actually. I don't condone wearing revealing clothes at all, but I'm the kind of person who likes to see far beyond the obvious.

I was with someone that made a big stink over how I dressed. He wanted me to cover up (even when I was! lol.. if it showed off my figure, he hated it because men would look *gasp*) I got rid of him.. nobody tells me how to live my life.

My husband thinks I look good no matter what I wear. he appreciates what we have and who I am and how I take care of myself and he feels more lucky than jealous. I do too.

 

[Trellum]

That's awesome I think you did a great thing by getting rid of that other guy.... I'd not stand a guy like that right now, I would in the past, but right now I'd not at all! It's great you found a man who respects you and actually allows you to wear what you want

My partner doesn't mind my wearing revealing clothes at all. And because of that, I don't feel the need to wear them out of respect for him.

Since he respects my choices, I dress appropriately so that he is not embarrassed by what I wear. If he were to have a problem, I would probably wear revealing clothes just to be defiant. I'm rather rebellious . Once in a while I will wild out if i'm going out with the girls but mostly, everything is classy. A little too much and you end up looking like you're trying to sell something.

At a push, tight clothing is fine, but nothing showing TOO much skin, haha.

I'll be honest with her and tell her that I don't like it. Because I know how guys are. When you see a girl with revealing clothes in the street, you'd often check her out with less than innocent thoughts in your mind.

I want her to be appreciated and admired for her beauty and intelligence. Not because she gives other guys the wrong impression.

There are researches that shows when girls are reminded of their own sexual appeal, it tends to dumb them down and they tend to score worst in test results.
