Why is the social normalcy for guys to wear comfortable clothes, while girls wear tiny, tight outfits?

Question

I find it so sexist when people think girls are sloppy or g*y just because they don't want to wear tank tops and Soffee shorts.

Answer 1

I for one could care less what people wear, I have no need for women to wear 2 inch skirts and breast curtain tank tops.

Answer 2

Well.

Girls care too much about how they look.

Most guys do not.

And guys really have it easy.

They can be lazy and not be judged.

But there are ways to be comfy and still look pretty C:

im in love with sweatpants.

Im wearing them now.

But i wear well fitting tops to go with them, and I really dont care what people say about me.

Answer 3

not everyone thinks that.

Answer 4

i know right?

we can't just chill.

well, the world today is f%#$@#. up.

see, guys like that when girls do that,

so girls always do that;

then that is how the trend got started.

Answer 5

I wear whatever I feel like wearing.  You worry too much about what other people think.  You'll never get anywhere that way.

Answer 6

I think how my dad explains it works for me...

Girls in nature, need to be attractive to guys to further our race. It comes back from our freaky cavemen instincts. Thats why when you get to that certain 25ish age, you do need to flaunt it to get the attention at first, but then you need to get your guy with your personality.

Also I always say... The tighter womens clothes go, the looser the guys get.

Also, when you see a muisc video, a tv show (gossip girl...), a movie, what are the girls wearing? Tight and short stuff, and it seems so impractical, until you go to the mall and see the exact same outfit.

"I find it so sexist when people think girls are sloppy or g*y just because they don't want to wear tank tops and Soffee shorts."

I think there are two extremes though, you should uphold your self with a respectable manner but not need to show off your b***s or too much skin wear you but falls out...

I wear skinny jeans and a nice flowing top or a polo.

Easy, comfy, and not "We like short shorts"

guys like me cuz they can see my shape and size but there is something to the imagination, and that always is better than the real thing...

well thanks for reading my blahblahblah......

Answer 7

If you got it flaunt it.

Answer 8

cause girls like to show off their legs, and guys don't really have the legs to show off.

Answer 9

i no what you me us girls can't wear sweat pants or really not so tight jeans but guys can ha i think it's sexist to but i don't give a flying **** about what people say about me =]

Answer 10

Because women want men to look at them.

Answer 11

Why don't you just wear what you want and stop worrying about what other people wear?  If you are worried about what people think, then wear tighter clothing, even if you don't want to. If you are not, then wear what you want.  Quit bitching.

As far as it being sexist, how is that sexist?  Those expectations and stereotypes come from other women, just as much if not more, than from men.

Answer 12

I've seen both men and women in tight fitting clothes The norm in western culture until recent past has been for women's bodies to be  on display and more exposed than mens.

When was the last time you saw full frontal male nudity in a film?

Men make the films. Most men like to look at women nude but don't like being looked at in the nude by other people...unless they're p**n stars!  

Answer 13

Because most women know they wont attract many men dressing in baggy, saggy clothing.

On the other hand... women don't seem to look for men who wrap themselves like a deli meat in tight clothes.

More proof that feminism is stupid.  

Answer 14

why dont you wear a long skirt and a t shirt?And there are so many different types of clothes what do you mean by normalcy? it doesnt really matter all that much. Being a guy i dont care about "fashion" if you like showing off wear whatever if you dont want to wear whatever you want ugly or not.

Answer 15

my girlfriend could wear a trash bag around all day and I would still think she was gorgeous. Personally it's nice to see girls in regular street clothes. Sure the hot high maintenance ones are nice to look at but if a girl has beautiful characteristics she would look just as hot in a tee and jeans.  

Answer 16

Chics show it off to get men's attention and to let other chics know the alpha-chic has arrived.

It human nature for women to use looks to get the best mates just like men use big muscles, and cash, success, ect..

We may be evolved some from the caveman days but not that much.

Answer 17

most girls want to show off what they have, and most guys want to look bigger than they really are, simple as that.

Answer 18

I prefer to wear nothing.  I prefer if women wear nothing as well.

Answer 19

Really...I hate to see anybody in a pair of baggy sweatpants and a T-shirt that is two sizes too big....not just women, men too.  People need to represent themselves in a respectful manner and that is a medium between comfy and skimpy.

Personally, I think women catch more flack from other women about the way they dress.  Maybe us women are sexist. lol

Answer 20

I wear what is both comfortable and flattering to me.  I'm not squeezing into something I have no business being in just to please someone else.  You can take it or leave it, but at the end of the day, I just try to be myself.

Answer 21

Look in the mirror... Most of us guy's aren't picky. But I have often wondered why women sometimes wear uncomfortable things too..

For the most part it seems silly. But that's life.

Answer 22

i would much rather look at a guy in comfy big clothes then those horrible skinny jeans. they look so bad. girls are always trying to impress the guys, and the guys like skin

Answer 23

I'm a guy and I wear skin tight Jeans. But I'm not g*y.

Answer 24

Guys wear comfortable clothes? Weird, all I see are guys wearing tight pants.

Answer 25

I totally agree with you.

Though yes, some men do wear tight clothing and such.

Most clothing for women is made to be tight, low cut or short in length.

Answer 26

Agreed. I feel bad for my female friends. Whenever they come over they always change into more comfortable clothing, sometimes take my gym shorts or something. But then when they go back out they feel the need to wear jeans so tight that they can't even have their cell phone in their pockets. It sucks. I hope we can get over this double standard and just all wear comfortable clothing.
