Would women agree that the more revealing you are, the less imgination it leaves for men (or women) and...?

Question

...as a result, these women who love to wear revealing clothing are criticized more harshly because of it? I was just thinking about it a bit. A woman's body is not much of a mystery anymore (Don't know if this is a good or bad thing lol). Not that I'm no where near getting rid of these "Revealing" and/or comfortable clothes, but...It's just a silly thought. I mean..if a woman, who is insecure, decides to wear revealing clothing and gets offended by remarks made by jackasses...well....would it be fair to openly make remarks towards her since she is in public?

And...yeah this question stinks. Sorry. I Got no sleep.

Answer 1

No, I understand what you're trying to ask. Yes, a woman who wears revealing clothing is judged as if she was a street-walker. not only by men but by other women as well. And that's because we as women are taught that its morally wrong to dress that way.

But, most men (not all) will find something to say about a woman's body regardless what she wears. if she's in a business suit, they'll comment on her ***, if she's in a skirt of reasonable length, they'll comment on her legs. If she's in a one piece swim suit you can just imagine what's said. No matter what we wear someone will always have something to say. Because society as a whole has a way of judging women a lot more harsh them men. Not to be sexist or anything, that's just a simple fact of life. Our bodies are constantly being examined by the people we meet.

Answer 2

I think people can wear whatever the heck they want.  Stop reading into it so much.  And if you decide to make jackass comments, know that your behavior and actions are a relfection of you, NOT a reflection of the other person.

Answer 3

Actually Bry, I think it's a pretty good question.

Most men I've come in contact with respect a woman more who is dressed s**y but in a subtle way. It's a fine art to dress that way and in turn it makes a guy actually work for your affection instead of instantly saying "hey you're hot, I'm hot and you look down and ready to f*ck, let's go to my place so I can make you my b*tch."

When you were clothes that are almost entirely revealing it takes away the mystery of what your body looks like. Your body should be displayed for your lover and not everyone that walks down the street.

Wearing entirely revealing clothes takes that special something out of love making. Instead of him taking your clothes off and savoring every last inch of your body he's ready to rip them off without regards to your body pound into you to satiate his need.

As for the question "...would it be fair to openly make remarks towards her since she is in public?"

Well think it is HARDly ever fair to openly mock and scorn people but with the nature of people, but if a woman wants to go out to the club without panties on, wearing a skirt that barely covers her rear and then get on the bar and proceed to show everyone what her momma gave her, well I don't think it should come as a surprise when people talk about her.+

Answer 4

Yes. Revealing clothing doesn't leave much to the imagination (although, I really don't want men imagining stuff about me either way). And it makes people view the woman as a bit of a tramp sometimes, depending on the outfit. I have never understood the women who dress all s**y and then get upset when men can't take their eyes off the cleavage and make comments to her. Duh, she did it to herself when she chose to present herself in that manner! It's like going down town dressed up like a cop and then getting upset because people call you Officer and someone asks you for help.

If you want to be treated like a lady, then dress the part. If you want to dress in the uniform of a s**t, don't be all surprised when some jerk treats you like one. That is what you set yourself up for.

Cloudcity - LOL I swear, I posted my answer without reading yours first!! Great minds think alike huh?

Answer 5

Many years ago I realized that women who wear very provocative outfits were looking for attention.  I, a normal heterosexual man, can be distracted by such displays of flesh, and learned to take it all with a grain of salt. However, I never make any remarks to them, because women rarely appreciate it, or at least act as if they don't.  Ladies who dress provocatively have the right to be left alone, free of comment, but would be foolish to expect silence from the wrath of testosterone-driven males, who need little to excite them in the first place.

But I also realized that clothes make women more appealing.  A fitted skirt, high heels, a flash of thigh, bare arms, and a peek of cleavage go a lot further with me than the Playboy centerfold.  Clothes give women shape and add character and mystery to what is already mysterious.

So work on the character but keep the mystery going.

Answer 6

I think whether the clothes are "revealing" or not depends a lot on the woman and probably a lot on who's looking, as well as the circumstances.

What's considered normal for a nightclub may look revealing at church, for example.

If a woman is very curvy and voluptuous or is otherwise considered "s**y", then she can wear pretty well any normal clothes and they'll be considered "revealing".

Whereas plainer, thinner, flatter women can wear anything they want and it's considered tasteful attire.

Therefore, this question makes almost no sense unless furnished with specific examples of who, when, where, etc.

Answer 7

simply put YES.i enjoy using my imagination .

Answer 8

It al depends on the situation. If it's very hot summer or on the beach then we don't want to be completely covered up but that doesn't mean people should oggle.

But everyday wear and dating I personally think the body male and female is like a christmas present, it's more exciting with the wrapping on. I think it's very s**y for a man to be wear a shirt and suit and maybe just have a tiny bit of neck showing, then you can imagine slowly unpeeling the shrt revealing the tdmpting flesh bit by bit.

Also I have found that in summer where a nice (not short) skirt and summer top doesn't get me any looks. But when it got colder I work black tights, a not very short skirt, knee length boots, a black jumper and I noticed that a lot of men were admiring my body especially my legs. But I was actually covered up wearing more clothes than normal.

Answer 9

In the spirit that you have had no sleep, I'll be brief.

1. Offensive remarks  from jerkoffs happen whether you are in sweats or a miniskirt. It is a question of some guy wanting  to feel big and powerful- not what women who walk past him happen to be wearing.

2. The fact that she is insecure may make the comments sting more, or she may not be as capable at shrugging off the harrasment. Perhaps that is part of it?

Answer 10

I always found burkas fascinating (no sarcasm there).

Answer 11

I think woman who dress reveling are seeking attention. I have seen many people who really think they look good with everything hanging out, and really they look hideous. That's my opinion. When woman dress provocitavly, others see them as nothing more than a s*x object. Time to cover up ladies.

Answer 12

I maintain the Chris Rock perspective on this.

Men should know that dressing like a w***e does not make you a w***e. Women should know, that it's d**n confusing for men...

If someone went about dressed like a police officer, they could hardly be offended when someone confused them for being an actual police officer and treated them as such.

Answer 13

you know... in our world today woman are viewed as s*x icons to men... its outrageous.... modesty is one of the greatest powers for woman... no ... if you wear something more revealing it only means that you are encouraging the guy to think about you in ways that you don't necessarily want him to think about you... woman these days are so desperate... look the one and best answer any one can give you is to read the bible... i know it doesn't seem like something that you would really want to do... but i say start in John.... yeah i mean developing a relationship with God is so great... I just wish that more people would come to know Christ as I have and that they would do any thing to please him... modesty... it is one great power that woman have... and if woman refuse to use it... well you can say that in a way it makes them well not so strong...

Answer 14

"would it be fair to openly make remarks towards her since she is in public?"

Would it be fair to openly make remarks toward YOU about your haircut, your walk, your way of speaking?  Rudeness is not acceptable, and saying things directly to her borders on harassment.

Answer 15

Open remarks on a woman's s*x appeal in public are not acceptable in university circles, professional circles, and so forth. Working class women and ethnic minorities tend to have a different attitude, though Asians are very sensitive to any kind of speech from a stranger.

I'm all for revealing (or no) clothing. Nudity strips us of social pretensions, and makes equals of everyone (well, not in the beauty department).

Answer 16

Yes, the more revealing clothing is, the less it leaves to the imagination.

Agreed, if someone wears revealing clothing, they shouldn't be surprised or offended if they get stares or comments (even if those stares or comments are rude).

No, it's not ever appropriate to make rude or unkind comments to someone, whether they are in public or not...but that doesn't seem to stop some people. It's their karma though, they'll have to deal with it.

Answer 17

actually, it kinda depends who ur talking 2. bfs have asked me this too, ive asked them back. the jury is out.
