| Skimpy Summer Cloths: Practical or Attention Seeking?

I don't think so. Most women dress to get attention. If they didn't they wouldn't care about following the latest styles but just dress in what makes them feel comfortable, even if its "dorky." Most women don't want to be seen as a dork so they dress in something that will impress other people. Would you wear something that made you feel comfortable even if it made people gawk at you out of disgust? Of course not, you want to be seen as beautiful.
if women only wear what is comfortable and practical explain high heeled shoes, super elevated bras (i assume they are more restrictive), and those super tight jeans or shorts that painful to put on and remove. a lot of women walking around my city in high heels, and jeans that are painted on, pushup bras everywhere.
i'm calling bullshit on this one
Problem both of you have in your postings above is that you have learned nothing from these forums, and believe every single woman on the planet is exactly the same.
I don't own sundresses, high heels, elevated bras, or tight jeans, or short shorts. I dress for ME...period!
Just because the women you see or date do this, doesn't make it so for all women. That would be like me saying because a guy I knew was an alcoholic, all men are alcoholics.
You both should know better by now. Shame Shame | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 4:58:43 AM | There are lots and lots of summer clothes for girls and women to wear that are not skimmpy . So I feel when they wear skimmpy summer clothes they are wearing them for one reason only and thats to show off their bodys and they like the
way men look at them. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 9:15:42 AM | My verdict is that its up to the observer to to judge the type of reaction he will have.
A guy will never know a women's motive, and every women's motive will be different, so if a guy thinks a women is dressing a certian way because of a certian motive, then he can choose to react appropreatly.
Basically, its how the guy preceives the women and how he preceives her motive. Because we ALL HAVE DIFFERENT MOTIVES for wearing what we do and understanding her motive is not going to change how you react to her. IMO | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 9:40:50 AM | Why would any man complain about women in sexy summer outfits?
I work next to a convenience store with gas pumps and I have the pleasure of seeing so many hot women. But dammit, I hate pay at the pump. Make 'em walk across the parking lot to pay.

Posted: 6/20/2008 4:14:48 PM | I live in the great white frozen north (at least for now anyway!) and we’re lucky if we get 2 months of “summer” each year when it’s warm enough to run around outside without pants and a sweater on. I take full advantage of that and wear as little as possible during those brief months and I do so because I CAN and because I like it! If other people don’t ... meh! Who cares! I've never heard any complaints!

Posted: 6/20/2008 5:07:45 PM | Don't know if it's attention seeking. It's practical in the sense that we may need less air condition. The one caveat about skimpy summer clothes: less material is used in the clothing, but the manufacturers don't reduce the prices to compensate for less material. Therefore, women are screwed again (economically). Ok - it's a fashion designer's dream (probably less work - for the same amount of money).  | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 5:17:23 PM | I personally like to feel sexy for me
if there were absolutely no men around (and maybe i have to stretch this to no other women around as women love to size themselves up for whatever reason), how would wearing something impart a feeling of sexiness?
I think sexiness is associated with being viewed for if not viewed how could one obtain any satisfaction of a FEELING of sexiness?
Now I suppose just looking in the mirror can produce some of that, but that serves as a reflection and reminder of what one looks like so when in the public view you get an idea that you'll be seen as a good specimen in some regard.
a healthy dose of mirror admiration can help one to accomplish what is needed to being sexy when it truly counts. some of us only have our mirrors, lol | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 5:48:05 PM | ^^^^^^^ That's actually a reall good question.
For me, things that make me feel sexy revolve around texture. I'm a true hedonist so give me fine quality cotton, silk, materials that move against my skin, brush against my legs and make me sigh when I feel them and that is what imparts a feeling of sexiness to me. Cut wise, it has to have flow and movement and hug but not confine my body. | |

Posted: 6/20/2008 8:15:29 PM | True Actualized very true! Wear the clothes......just be brutally honest about WHY you wear them!!!
I checked SOME of the female poster's pics on their profiles BECAUSE of what they said about why they DON'T wear skimpy clothing.......it's a dang good thing for us men that those certain ones don't!!!
As he said IF NO MEN were going to be around in the vicinity of where the skimpy clothed women were going to be, you wouldn't see ANY skimpy clothed women there!

Posted: 6/21/2008 5:38:46 AM | i won't wear shorts, unless i absolutely have to. i just don't like them.
but i do wear sundresses and halter tops to keep cool. linen and gauzy cotton help you stay cooler than anything else. and looser-fitting garments allow for more ventilation and air circulation. for work i wear linen. it wrinkles, but it certainly does help with the heat. | |

Posted: 6/21/2008 6:54:50 AM | | Well lots of women enjoy showing a little skin all the time. but where I am (Toronto, Ontario) the weather will be 20 degrees one day then shoot up to 30 degrees plus humidity the next. So I think it depends on where you are. I don't really like to wear tank tops but I've been finding myself wearing them a lot lately because of the weather. So I think it really does depend. | |

Posted: 6/21/2008 4:47:44 PM | OP, you found us out. Yep, we dress like this JUST to drive you guys nuts. 
Of course here in Phoenix, where today the mercury has just hit 115 degrees...yes, thats 115 degrees Farenheit (about 46 Celcius for everyone else in the world), we women are smart enough to dress to keep our own body temperatures DOWN and let the guys worry about their own rising temperatures (or whatever else may rise?)....isn't that what cold showers are all about??
It may be 115 today but at least we don't have to contend with the humidity like many other people; the humidity level here is in the single-digits so if we're in the shade or immersed in water (anyone have a swimming pool they want to share??) it's actually not bad. Now, when the temps hover around 109 and the humidity is up to 30-40%...that's when we'd rather forget the wearing of clothes completely and just feed the guys salt-petar in their Wheaties.
As it is, I'm in capri pants & short sleeve or sleeveless tops at work, and shorts & tanks at home. Forget the pantyhose - I refuse (along with 95% of the women in this town) to wrap my body in spandex/lycra that could potentially melt to my a$$ when I sit down on the seat of my car. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 4:59:30 PM | I live in Florida. It's hot as hell. Everyone wears less clothes in summer, both men and women.
Besides I run around my house naked a lot or in very skimpy ladies boxers from VS or tanks, and there are no men in my house to be trying to ''impress'' and ''drive crazy''.
As for push up bras someone mentioned...they are not more restrictive at all. They put everything where it's supposed to be. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 6:33:29 PM | Well there is a difference between dressing to show off your ass-ets, and dressing specific weather conditions. ie: clubwear. I agree some girls do seek attention with booty shorts and what have you, and all those girls know what kind of attention they’ll get. For some it’s not about getting attention from guys, it’s more like they have the "if you got it flaunt it" mentality.
Op the next time that you're in doubt, check out the lady's body language. If she's wearing skimpy clothes, and strutting like a runway model then you’re question should be answered. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 8:43:16 PM | I expect most women dress for comfort, however everyone feels more comfortable in clothes that are flattering and make them feel confident.
Most women dress to get attention. If they didn't they wouldn't care about following the latest styles
Fashion may be about attracting attention, but men are naive if they think it's their attention fashion sets out to attract! Women who dress to impress dress to impress other women, otherwise they would ask men for fashion advice, not gay friends and girlfriends!
(women who dress for men don't need to follow the latest styles- do men's tastes in women change as frequently as the fashion seasons? I think not. )
Returning to the actual question, the clothes I wear camping or to keep cool around the house are way skimpier than the clothes I would go out and be seen in. So definitely it's comfort, not showing off. | |

Would you wear something that made you feel comfortable even if it made people gawk at you out of disgust?
There can be nothing comfortable about being gawked at in disgust. The magical self-answering question strikes again!
if there were absolutely no men around how would wearing something impart a feeling of sexiness?
I think sexiness is associated with being viewed for if not viewed how could one obtain any satisfaction of a FEELING of sexiness?
In countries where women wear burquas some still get their hair and nails done. People feel sexy when they're wearing their favorite underwear that no one will see. I don't think being viewed therefore is a prerequisite feeling sexy, although most people liked to be viewed when they're feeling sexy.
If you solve a puzzle do you need a witness to feel clever? If you finish a drawing, do you need a compliment to be proud of it? No. The drawing’s pretty whether anyone sees it or not. Same with the sexiness. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 9:47:43 PM | Skimpy, revealing clothes on a woman = attention seeker.
Attention seeker = shallow.
Shallow = mock-worthy and subhuman.
Seems simple enough. There are plenty of attractive clothes a woman can wear that allow her to stay cool in hot weather, that don't also do everything shy of mandate someone having to be 18 years old just to see her.
This isn't hard. | |

I 100% agree. The university I go to is known for the girls dressing like it's a fashion show. And I've never heard anyone asking the guys about how the girls dress, it's always the girls being asked. | |

I don't know if I can explain it adequately but I'll try. Most of the time, I'm in jeans and a tee when I'm home. Since winter lasts approximately 11 1/2 months of the year here (alright I'm exaggerating but close) I get deprived of the feeling of the hot sun on my back, of my legs being unconstricted, etc. If I find clothing that I think looks good on me, accentuates my good points while downplaying the not-as-good then I love to wear it if no one is around. Just for that little pick me up when I'm bored or feeling a little dowdy or sick of wearing the same types of clothing. To feel "pretty" for a change when I've been stuck in that rut forever.
In the case of summer clothes, feeling the sun and the breeze touching your legs when they're normally covered up is sensual.Having your nipples harden in an unexpected cool breeze is sensual. Laying on your belly in the hot sun and feeling the sweat trickle down your back is sensual ( just think of some of the other times that happens :D).
OP, some do and some don't. I know a woman who does nothing all day in the summer but go out in the yard half-naked just waiting for guys to whistle at her. As a matter of fact, some of the things she wears are not flattering on her at all but she believes that the more skin you show, the sexier you are.
There are some "sexy" things I own that I would NEVER wear out in public... bikini top, daisy duke cutoffs etc. On hot days, that's my uniform when I'm cleaning the house or laying down in the yard. If guy comes around, that's the last thing I want him to see me in. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 5:51:52 PM | Miss Rudie this is so true. Fashion sense doesn't equal skimpy see through stripper/hooker/club clothes.
I'm an addict for "What not to wear'' and they recently took an ex stripper (who was still wearing hoochie clothes) and turned her all around. The girl was crying at the end because they covered her up, and made her beautiful. Like a respectable, fashionable young woman. She said she'd never thought of herself as beautiful before. The hosts said it was one of their biggest yet most rewarding challenges.
Now put some skimpy clothes on a woman and it could be a dress from the 70's but if it showed enough skin, the men would be hot for it....they don't usually know much about current ''fasthion and style'' | |
