Dating : Does provocative clothing make you view a woman differently?
First of all what do you consider provocative clothing and would it depend on body type (completely unfair imo but society is messed up like that). I generally go out in crop tops, leggings, gym sets and just generally quite tight clothes. I also have my belly button pierced and I’ve started working out and have a hint of abs so I like to wear clothes that show it, but I’ve got the impression it may be a bit too much. I want to meet someone in real life and someone to approach me but now I’m worried about the image I’m putting out. I quite like my style and don’t really wanna change it, it’s the only thing that makes me feel confident but do men have different intentions based on what you’re wearing?
Wear the clothes you want to wear and you will most likely attract someone who likes those clothes and is comfortable with a woman who wears them.
So I’m a fan of « modesty » but in the literal sense. I don’t find women who dress provocatively to be « skanky » or anything like that, but it almost feels boastful in a way.
I like cargo capris, casual tank tops, and ponytails. Hell, turtle necks are even hot as hell lol. Mainly just clothing that feels somewhat humble, for lack of a better word.
Men and women will judge you. Some will find it attractive, some won’t care, some will find it trashy.
The right person will fall for you, no matter your clothing
Yes, but both men and women judge people based on their appearance all of the time. I do it. You do it. Subconscious or not, it’s part of human nature.
That being said, I wouldn’t make any inherently negative character judgments about a woman wearing revealing, tight clothing by her look alone. That fashion is so mainstream at this point it’s impossible to place the millions of women wearing that style in a box.
I only view it differently if it is done in a provocative manner. A woman in a bikini is not provocative, nor would a naturally nudist woman be. It is more the demeanor of the woman though that would cause clothing to appear more or less provocative. A woman would have to act in a sexualized manner in order for me to consider them provocative. It is less about the clothes and more about the body language or actions.
What you describe is no longer considered provocative fashion. Thank god.
Children dress for comfort, while adults dress for outcome.
As a guy I will tell you we would approach you differently depending on the type of clothes. Whether you look athletic or if you dress more conservatively. Do you mean tight clothes as in form fitting or tight clothes as in you can see everything cause there is a difference to guys.
Picture this:
Woman: don’t objectify women, it’s wrong!
Also women: wears clothes that complement her body that turns a man on
Don’t get pissed off at men who look at a woman in a sexual way when you dress in a provocative outfit.
When I’m talking about real tight I see some girls at the gym that look like they are painted on. Leaves no room to the imagination. Approach may differ in if they look athletic with tight clothing we treat them like any pretty girl/ normal girl. If they dress like like their clothes are painted on it gives us the mental impression they are like a street walker or an exotic dancer. I’m not really a fan of girls that over expose themselves but to each there own. I’m going to treat everybody the same at the gym cause I am not trying to hook up with people.
Having tight clothes when you’re fit and wanna show it is not provoking in my opinion it’s just normal. Gym clothes are trendy everyone has it so you’re not exactly stinging anyone’s eyes by wearing that or crop tops.
Unless you’re 55.
don‘t be surprised when provocative clothing causes a reaction by men. you are a smart woman, right? you know how men are
Yeah it makes me view them as more confident honestly. Usually the more shy a girl is the more they try to hide and cover.. because I know unfortunately there is still a lot of idiot men out there who comment and harrass women who dress more freely.
You’re doing nothing wrong, don’t worry about it
For some it might, but it won’t matter to a guy who really wants to be with you. I dress like how you described in college and I still met guys who liked me for me. They liked that I had a fit body and was confident about it. So if you got it flaunt it! I’ve also met guys while wearing revealing clothing at raves so I wouldn’t change your style for men. The guys that judge you for it aren’t worth it.
If it does then you suck
Dressing like a street hooker when were’ headed out for a few drinks is disturbing. There are plenty of sexy outfits that don’t show skin and get the point across. Personally if I show up to a date and the woman is wearing something that looks like she just came from a porn set, I’ll be excusing myself and leaving early.
