Hey everyone, what would you think if you saw a woman out wearing this shirt in the attached picture? If she was out alone shopping, would you prejudge her at all? Maybe think she is a little slu+ty? Maybe think she is promiscuous?
How about if she was out with her husband? Would you think all the same things you thought when you saw her out alone? How about if you saw her at a bar? ... Would you think she was just trying to get into bed with someone? Would you think she looked hot??
Some women like to dress in revealing clothes for whatever reason. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I DO prejudge people even though I shouldn't depending on what they are wearing, but I ALWAYS give them a chance to be my friend or a decent person if I get to know them. How about you?

I believe that women should be allowed to show a bit of cleavage if they so choose to. Why should they be judged. Now the ones that leave little to the imagination and hang everything out but their brownies needs to go home and change. There is a time and a place for everything.
On another note...if a man were to go topless nothing is said. Let a woman show a little cleavage and she is labeled. Go figure.

The boobs of the girl in the picture are not huge! It's just probably a shirt that is too tight...

Wow! What a pair of.... here in California that kind of dress is the norm. Even in the workplace. I'm not one to dress that way, primarily because I am the kind of klutz that would end up falling and having my boobs tumble out of the top.

LOL--you should come to my neighborhood then. Many women here tend to dress kind of sleazy all the time, with low cleavages of their tops that it almost seems like any minute their boobs are going to pop out. They even dress this way while grocery shopping and they are with their kids no less.

I don't think I would think of her as that. Some women really prefer wearing revealing clothes. They feel sexy wearing clothes like that. I have already seen myself that some women even if they wear clothes like that they are even friendlier.

Hi Bethany 1202, I am going to be very honest! I wouldn't notice her in the first place unless she was the only one around with the kind of perfume I like or intensely dislike! I'd be too busy with my shopping agenda to spare her or for that matter anybody that much of time - even near the cash counter! And even in any other event, such as her accosting me, I wouldnt think of her as odd. This is because I come from different culture. I do not know to what extent things are ok with each culture. Moreover, some of our traditional attires out here may be objectionable to others elsewhere. So I wouldnt be so condescending. I would, however, really notice her, if she wore some clothes that are essentially from my country, and then wore them in a way that would be considered odd here.

I don't think that shirt is really slu-tty...a lot of my friends wear stuff worse than that. I just wouldn't wear that type of shirt to a work place...but to go shopping, the bars or somewhere else that is casual, that's fine. If she's confident enough with her body to wear that, all the power to her. Yes guys will look, and there's no stopping that but if she isn't going out of her way of flirting, you can't blame her for being slu-tty.

Well if she's up on stage dancing and that's what all the dancers are wearing, then there's nothing wrong with that...to each their own. I don't judge people on what they wear. A lot of my friends wear those shirts that the opening goes all the way down to their belly button and the front is basically opened...now those shirts I think are too much, but that shirt that you have pictured isn't too bad considering what a lot of other people wear nowadays.

Right... And what if she was on stage performing a concert? Such as Britney SPears, or girls dancing on stage with Motley Crue? ...

Yeah, I don't like those shirts that open all the way down to the belly. Everyone's tastes are different.
Also, some people might even think a fully covered front with an open back is a bit slu+ty .... to each their own.
Great comment with many excellent points raised.

People judge by how you dress, somebody with sloppy clothes or dirty clothes might be considered a bum while a nice dressed person might be considered succesful, or, they might be the opposite, you never know. I've seen some stuff that made me want to carry a full lenght mirror with me everywhere I went just to let them see themselves for how everybody else sees them.

Very true, and a nice point to bring up for such a discussion. I suppose all aspects of how someone dresses must be analyzed.
For example, when I went to the bank the other day to discuss how I should re-invest or rollover my 401K from a prior job, I had just come from a job interview and was in a suit. I feel I was treated much better than some of the others who were waiting, but I don't have money. I WISH!!

well i had to come see it i thought it would be a t-shirt saying something sl#ty. anyway, id just think its sexy and pretty. no judgement, just admiration for your bravery and being able to do so and look good. i used to tell my daughters "If you got it, flaunt it" cause it dont last for long my late hubby used to enjoy it if i wore anything revealing. he said he'd be proud that im his and they cant have me

I see women out with top on like this all the time. And I think now I'm pretty use to it. I probably wouldn't notice. She does have a decent rack. I hope she wouldn't wear this top to the PTA/PTO meeting or to cub scouts. But if she were going out on the down, to the club or something, sure it's cool.
Some women like the attention so they dress that way.

it will really depend on where she wore it and how she'll act.if she is wearing this top at the office and is flirting with the male colleagues,I will be really irritated.it is not an appropriate office attire.if she wore this in a party or out shopping,I wouldn't mind.it goes to show she is confident and proud of her asset.if she wears this to seduce men and grab their attention,I wouldn't mind as long as she doesn't move towards seducing my partner.

Sadly men do have eyes that wonder just as women do. But their wonder constantly, I doubt any man could ignore such a display of ones assets.

It would depend on the place and situation that I saw her in. If it was out at a party or nightclub, then I would not think anythig bad about it. There is a mother at my kids school who dresses like that when she picks her kids up! She awkwardly waltzes through the school in her high heels, very short dress and revealing top all the time!
My wife thinks that she is just low in confidence as she is very quiet, but she comes across as a bit rude to me. She thinks that she dresses this way to boost her confidence. She has a very good body, but looks like an old sl+t to me...LOL
So, yes I guess I do prejudge people sometimes, when perhaps I shouldn't be. But everyone else just looks at each other and laughs whilst shaking their heads after she has gone past, so at least I am not the only one!

I agree with you and don't think it's appropriate to wear a shirt like this (or mini-skirts!) to pick up children from school and events of the like. Bars are one thing, school is another.

Hello
I don't see anything wrong with showing a little cleavage, now if I saw someone wear this in church then I will have an issue with it, I don't judge people when they wear certain cloths don't really matter to me, only time I may go "hmmmm" is when someone wears things that do not fit, its obvious they are trying to be something they are not, you see them constantly pulling at their cloths which only tells me they are as uncomfortable as they make the rest of us.
Thank you.

Hi bethany, I always try to be fair and not judge people as to what they wear, since I myself don't want people judging me. But of course, there's always this thing with first impression. If you wear something like that there are lots of narrow minded people out there that will get pissed and definitely will try to look for some flaws just to criticize you, no matter how descent you act. But if you keep on minding everyone's opinion and trying to make sure you please everyone even if you knew that you weren't doing anything wrong then you'll probably end up wearing a gown with long sleeves.
As for me, it wouldn't mind me at all as long as you don't wiggle it around.lol That would of course imply something else. And seeing you with your boyfriend is definitely a plus. Cause it would somehow send a message that you're not wearing that to get hooked up with someone cause you already got one. And don't ever wear that on church, if you don't want to distract the priest.lol
Overall that's fine to me as long as you act descent while wearing something like that. And I believe that there's nothing wrong with someone if she wants to feel sexy. Everyone does!! And don't mind other people who are just jealous of your curves.. You go girl =)

It wouldn't bother me at all if I saw a woman dressed like that. I live in the South and have seen a lot of things. From women doing their shopping in their pj's to a one going into a store wearing shorts a bikini top. I say if you got them and they are not heading South, show them off before they do.
Women should be able to wear what ever they want to. I have seen men walking around and I feel like telling them to either cover up or put on a mra (man bra. I think women shouldn't be judged on what they wear, which is the main reason I stopped going to church.

If I bothered to judge her at all from her clothing then it would entirely depend on where I saw her at. It would not be appropriate for a church service or a PTA meeting but it would OK for the beach, a vacation resort or a singles bar.

If someone was wearing this out shopping I wouldn't have a problem with it. It could be a lot worse! A lot of people wear things like this when it's hot - maybe because it's not hot here for very long, we really like to make the most of it, lol! It's not something I would necessarily wear myself as it's not my style, (and I don't really have the assets, lol!) but I know people who would wear things like this because it would make them happy. I don't judge them for it, it's just how they like to dress. I try not to prejudge people in general, but I agree that it can be difficult sometimes.

I would not think anything of her if she wore that shirt in public. If you have ever watch any of the celebrity award shows some of the gowns show as much as this shirt is and know one think they women are slu+ty. If this is so awful then why do they even sell these shirt in stores? I myself would not wear because I have always been a little shy.

"if you want to be respected, you should respect yourself first"
that is only my opinion on the above girl wearing that kind of t-shirt..
the way you dress is just a picture of the real you, like your
house for example, if they are dirty of course the person living
inside are also dirty, same on that..
