| Hidden Messages in Clothes - Slacks vs. Skirts vs. ???
Posted: 6/16/2008 12:06:00 PM | | It depends on what type of place I'm going to and the time of year. If the weather is warm, then I might wear a summer dress to a restaurant. But I obviously wouldn't wear a dress if I'm doing any type of physical activity. Sometimes I could be going someplace straight from work and I don't have time to change clothes. For example, if I was wearing a business suit, a shirt / sweater, and skirt / slacks at work, then I would probably just remove the suit jacket. | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 12:23:03 PM | [quoteOkay, you meet a man for the first date. What to wear? Slacks or Skirt?
Is there a message you are TRYING to convey with your selection?
Slacks = Not accessable
Hip Huggers = I only want to tease you, then run away
Dress = I'm conservative, so only after the 3rd date when I invite you in for "coffee".
Skirt = Might be willing if you are nice
Short Skirt = Anything goes after two beers
Athletic Gear = My bf doesn't know, keep it on the DL
Chastity Belt = Not Even When I'm DEAD
laffin here...but what does it mean if I have a chastity belt on under my short skirt, and drink FOUR beers?
I wear skirts, and sundresses in the summer, unless I'm going to play pool or go play miniature golf... then I might wear capri pants, or shorts. | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 12:27:02 PM | I think what women wear is totally based on personality.
I think my Hiking boots would definately go over like a lead balloon in NY garment district.
Some of it has to do with age. As I've gotten older, I tend to dress less for trend and more for timeless and comfort. | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 1:07:17 PM | *WackMC* you are truly "whacked"! 
I dunno where you come up with some of this stuff but it's hilarious.
I hate to break your lil ole heart but I dress for whatever the days situation might be. OR however I feel that morning or evening, whatever occassion. It depends on where I'm going. For the luvva Pete....I wouldn't wear jeans or a dress to go to the beach to swim or sunbathe. But just because I wear a bathing suit doesn't imply anything other than just swimming or laying out in the sun. lol.
There are no hidden agenda's or hidden messages between a skirt or a dress.......pants or jeans. Criminey! I don't even wear a skirt or dress in the winter, unless I HAVE to........the cold winds here in January and February would freeze something off blowing up a skirt or dress!! | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 10:53:18 PM | I have to say that I am AMAZED at the answers in this thread. Not the specific answers themselves, but that fact that the consensus is very, very clear:
THERE IS NO SECRET MESSAGE. That's actually the clearest, most straightforward answer I've seen in any thread about womens' behavior.
What I appreaciate MOST is that many women said it very plainly and did not try to wriggle out of the question or turn it into a "we're being coy" type of thing. I actually got a set of rapid-fire straight answers!!! AMAZING!
What I also noticed is that although there is no "secret" message, women are very sensitive about what IS or IS NOT said about what they are wearing ---- perhaps that is where my confusion arises...???
It's nice to know the next time I show up in a loincloth the lady will understand there are no hidden expectations and she can act normally.....whew....  | |

That's just the kind of thing that was trippin' me up! BTW, if you drink four beers, time will be my ally....all I have to do is wait and you'll dump that belt on your own due to "pressing needs", eh? | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 3:08:09 AM | I wear what I feel like wearing, and will suit the occasion...weather too.
I prefer skirts/dresses all summer long, because we have such short summers here...it does not mean anything other than that.
Now, if a lady wears a themed outfit(post above)...imagine what you will about that...Id say that's some serious signalling. LOL | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 6:20:18 AM | OH MY GOSH, you've figured it out!! Gosh darn, I knew someone would eventually. This makes me very sad. :-( <-- the sad face proves it
*end of sarcasm*
The only message I'm trying to convey when I wear my clothes is: I'M WEARING CLOTHES THAT I FIND COMFORTABLE!!
Geesh, now they're analyzing clothing! | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 6:27:50 AM | Why in the world do inane lists like this attract so many people? Is it easier to think they're true than to actually THINK?
Uh, little alert here...women pick out clothes that THEY like...believe it or not, not every thing we wear is about YOU...particulary if we don't even know you...why would I waste my money filling my wardrobe up based on what some dingbat I don't know MIGHT think of it? Pffft!
That list is reflective of the old "She got raped because she was ASKING for it..." and 'asking' in the rapists mind starts with her clothes. "She's wearing that because she wants it..." 
ye gads, that's some sick thinking right there.. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 4:11:22 AM | LOL...you really think that we dress a specific way as a hidden code???
Ummm...none of the above. I like wearing dresses and skirts almost all year round-on dates, to work, out shpping with my girls. Some of them are short, some are long...lol. I'm laughing cause you've put wayyyyyyyyyyyy too muc thought into something that isn't that hard. Most of the time we dress to impress--but so many ladies aren't comfy in dresses/skirts and more comfy in pants...I guess you don't go on dates with those ladies because they're "not accessible"?
And have you met someone recently who wears a chastity belt???? | |
|
| Hidden Messages in Clothes - Slacks vs. Skirts vs. ???
Posted: 6/18/2008 3:00:57 PM | This is what would drive (or would not drive) me to wear the following choices:
Slacks = I had to dress up for work that day (if we're meeting after work)
*Jeans = This is what you're most likely to see unless we're going somewhere fancy
Hip Huggers = With hips like mine, everything hugs them.
Dress = For weddings or formal events only
Skirt = I own a couple but rarely wear them
Short Skirt = Not on your life.
Athletic Gear = I'm ready to either go to the gym or go to bed.
* I added jeans because you omitted them. The chastity belt? That might have worked when I was 16, but it kind of defeats the purpose now. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 9:57:14 PM | What I wear depends on my mood, like most women.
If it's a first date/meeting... it will be whatever I am comfortable in.
I ALWAYS where low cut/cleavage. Not for your pleasure.... it's because skin is easier to clean than clothes. I am always dropping SOMETHING!
Sometimes, it would be better... if you just.... asked what the woman is thinking or interested in. She might just say yes. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 12:08:09 AM | I continue to be AMAZED that so many women have chimed in on what MOST have said is a non-issue!
Should I even DARE to ask why women will chart a man's entire future based on what HE wears...??? | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 8:37:49 AM | Hidden messages in clothing?
Oh my goodness. You really need to get out more and realize we dress in what is most comfortable for us.
Some of us are comfortable in slacks, some in jeans, some in skirts and dresses, some in shorts, some in capris, and most of us are comfortable in all of the above depending on where we happen to be going.
No hidden messages, no secret meaning - sorry to disappoint ya!

Posted: 6/19/2008 8:51:18 AM | | I'm so confused...you mean a dress says you're conservative, but only to the third date; low rise means you're not getting any; athletic gear (???) means you're taken but out there anyway; and pants mean the same as a chastity belt? *head spinning* I need to lie down and then go reevaluate my wardrobe and all these hidden messages it apparently sends... | |

What you wear is your business. And any woman who feels the need to chart YOUR future based on what you where needs to find a hobby.
Sure, sometimes I rather a guy dress the nicest he can... but I would prefer him do it in his own style.
But then again, I am different than most woman. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 10:03:36 AM | no hidden messages in clothing, I wear what is comfortable and appropriate for the date, most cases its jeans or a nice pair of pants it doesn't mean I am "not accessible"
As for the nails, frankly mine are bare, I am a nurse and although many nurses do manicure their nails and get fake nails I am one that doesn't, mine are bare and short
I agree with rebel ... its all about the lingerie and the shaved legs :P if there is stubble FORGET it she wasn't planning on "getting some" lol, but if they are bare and clean shaven ... those are for you boys ;) | |

so when she comes over in a school girl outfit sucking on a lollipop I should assume it's because everything else is in the wash?
unless she is a school girl or it's halloween or is having issues growing up I believe it would be safe to say she was dressing to impress YOU lol :P | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 10:16:20 AM | | ^^^^^ I don't know about that one, if I "dress to impress" it's not usually sucking on a lollipop in a schoolgirl outfit. I guess I should start though, must dig out my old kilt from high school, I guess...wow, this thread is just a learning experience all around! Thank you OP, for enlightening me to all of these hidden messages our clothing sends! | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 4:48:13 PM | Hidden messages in clothing? Sorry, OP, don't flatter yourself. Men like you are dangerous; that is all I can say.
There are women out there who dress whatever way they choose to because that is their style on any given day .. period. They have that right. Maybe they want to accentuate or dress down on the scale .. it is entirely up to them. Be rest assured that just because a woman throws a short skirt on with heels that it is not with the intent to send you a specific message. It's men like you who look into things a bit too much and assume a bit too much. I like my short skirts and heels because I train my ass off to stay muscular and I like to be able to get away with dressing that way, and if a man like you even alluded to what you have pointed out , ***Anything goes after two beers**, God help him. He'd see just how hard of a kick these legs could throw. I think your conclusions are ridiculous and not at all fair to women who are simply being feminine because we are, after all, women who enjoy dressing in a feminine way when the occassion and weather allows us to. | |
