Comments on this journal
but there's a difference between looking and touching
btw, one of the 'perils' of living in the north is going out and seeing girls wearing lingerie as club gear (i saw one girl in a thigh-skimming nightie i'd seen in top shop.. ); ) and they refuse to wear coats over this stuff.. even during snow storms.. people in london have slighly better dress sense
Dress don't make the personality. Its the person who makes the personality. If a female think she looks good in a dress, then she has all the rights to wear it. and SHE IS NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING, so don't get any ideas.
I do understand there are discretions and limits.
Women tend to go with the flow of fashion, not all of us ladies wear the cloths we wear because we want to get attention or looked at or are SLUTS.
It?s difficult to walk into a clothing place these days and find something that would be fashionable and yet covered. Something or another will be too low or too showey on the dress.
There is also a time and place to wear things....what I wear when I go out with my girl friends is going to be slightly different from what I wear when I am around adults, meaning....aunties and uncles, family.
If a young lady goes out on a date and she wants to look really nice, she may wear a nice al-fit, but if the al-fit she wore had ONE part that was showing....that doesn?t mean its okay for him to think that the girl is easy or that she is asking for it....different cloths fit Women in different ways....and it DOSE NOT DEFINE A WOMEN!
We all have different BODY types.
dcguy... 'Good LAAAAwd, she's fine..'.. so THAT's what those looks mean.. :D
wow you guys all have broadly the same views on this .. i asked this question partly because some people (mainly 82 year old decrepit dinosaur british judges) have acquitted guys of assualt based simply on the shortness of a woman's skirt.. and the 'conclusion' that she dressed provocatively, so should be able to bear the consequences of that.. (why isn't there a sick smiley on here..?)
for example, if a guy parades around with his fly open, he is certainly going to draw stares and glances ...
If a girl is cool w/ dressing sexy and revealing and self confident.. it's all good. For guys, sure we look, smile and politely say to ourselves.. Good LAAAAwd, she's fine.. but politely.
If a guy is gonna be an ahole about it and make rude and insulting comments, that's sucks, and unfortnately for ladies, you have to deal w/ such creeps.. part of life.
But if a woman wears a cleavage-revealing top tha I will happily have a look and have no compunction in making it clear I'm looking. If she's showing it than that's a clear invitation to look! I will cheerfully oblige. After all, she'd feel terrible if she went out in a micro-mini and not one man noticed!!
My opinion of revealing clothes for women: If you don't want to see an 80 yr old grandma walking around in it, maybe you shouldn't either. Fashion is great, but so is decency :)
i agree with all your points of view.. looking at environment/ common sense/ having the right to be 'fashionable' and not be hassled/ but still hopefully trying to dress decently....
yb, i agree with your first point, wear what you want and assume you will be safe when going out......... but then would we/ should we let our daughters out of the house when they are dressed in a mini...?
coolfire, 'But if you are in a safe place' makes me wonder.. what is the definition of a safe neighbourhood.... one where there are no nasty men lurking... or no men at all.... !
