Do you think they do it because they like to get a reaction when they are in public and enjoy the attention? Or do you think it's because they actually think they look good that way?
What I'm referring to is going out with any of the following or a combination: too much makeup, looking like they are going to a club when they are at the mall, short skirts, low cut blouses, etc.
Guys, what do you think about girls that dress like this in public?
Women, what do you think since you may be a little less biased (hey many of us guys are controlled by our hormones lol)

I think these girls are craving attention and they think this is the only way to get it.Unfortunately they don't realise that dressing that way gets them a bad reputation for being cheap or easy.I also think that some of them do it because of peer pressure,this is the way other girls their age are dressing.

I think women who dress this way has a self esteem issue. And they do it for attention they are going about it the wrong way. They think if they look a certain way they will get the attention they desire that they aren't getting the normal way. I fell if nobody wants to pay attention to me the way I am Then who cares. I'm not going to dress like a sl*t just to get the attention. I will not degrade myself for it.

very good answer, I think you are on to something there. I will admit as a guy sometimes we enjoy looking, but then that type of woman isn't one we want a long term relationship with because we are afraid even while in the relationship she'll do that and possibly flirt (or more) with other guys.

they are sucking for attention....they are amused by how many people stare and gauk at them. as for me i am a jeans a t-shirts kinda girl..so when i do put on a skirt i look dressed up....and make-up is another issue. too much make-up just looks bad. i have had not that great of a complexion my whole life but i find no reason to cover it up. i am pretty simple i guess. but at the same time i can be ready start to finish to go to work or go out somehwere in less than 15 :)

I agree with you, I am the same way, I see no point in spending an hour in front of the mirror in vanity, there is too much other stuff going on in life that is more important to me, and Ive always worn m make up more natural looking, to me its just so much prettier to see a natural look than someone who looks like a cheap hooker

well dont get me wrong i like to look good and i do have an array of cute clothes and make-up...but my least appealing idea for attire is cheap, sleazy, or "too much"

Yeah, and actually the "girl next door" look with limited make-up and jeans a t shirt can be just as appealing and might draw a more respectable and respecting partner.

I think some women actually think they look good in it. I am not a large person, actually quite slender, but you will not catch me walking out of my house showing everyone what the good lord gave me. Some things were meant to be kept covered. And I think there should be a size limit on some clothing.

LOL, definitely, I mean who wants to see a 250 lb woman in a bikini? The sad thing is I've seen that at the beach. Scary.

Well, look at the role models...TV, movies,people with fame...
Some are simply uneducated as to what 'looks good' vs what 'shows good'.
One young lady of my acquaitance told me when I mentioned her attire was unsuited for the weather that 'guys like this'. Seeking male attention, even attention that wasn't positive being the goal.
Sad fact is most the women who dress in such a manner believe that they have nothing else to offer, and sadder yet, believe men have so little discrimination that dressing in such a way is the only option.
I have heard some say they are more comfortable in such dress, but my personal belief is that they have been conditioned to it.
I don't blame a guy for looking, heck I don't blame a guy for more than looking, but I have no doubt that men expect more out of women than that. At least I would hope they would.

ture, those women may fail to realize some guys just think they only have their bodies to sell and have limited intelligence and the guy assumes they are less intelligent than they actually are.

I think that 'girls' that dress like that do it because they like the attention it gets them from men and the envy attention they get from women. They need to have other women's attention because it makes them feel important,even bad attention is attention. They like it when guys give them attention because that's what some want just beefcake, memories never go away they are only forgotten....by SOME not ALL.

Maybe they will learn after having bad relationships that the quality of partner they attract that way is not very high.

I think they are thses women that are having many complexes with their age, their looks etc. They are these women who try to get approval for their looks etc. But it's not fare to use it as an excuse for rape, guys!

Rape is wrong period, if any guys uses it as an excuse they are pathetic.
Women should realize though there are some very perverted and corrupt males out there and that could be the guys they attract, so they should be very careful.

I love wearing short skirts and boots. I'd probably go for the low cut blouses if I had more of a chest..
It's all in how you wear your clothes. Wear it with confidence, doesn't matter what people around you think. I've gotten many compliments on my outfits(possibly because I know more about fashion than most people and am studying to be a fashion designer).
Plus, if you've got the body then why not flaunt it?
My personal view on this is.. if you know how to coordinate colors, textures, and patterns.. then be creative. and decorate your body how you see fit. As long as you know wha tyou're doing.
some women just don't. these women amuse me.

it's good you are confident when you do that, but here's a question. Do you get offended then when guys look? Obviously if you are confident you should expect them to look and not be offended right?

Unfortunately, many women have become exhibitionists. They dress cheap and trashy because they really do think it makes them look good. They honestly don't see how others see them. Also, many think it makes them look more attractive and don't realize that understated classy dressing is what is really sexy.
Unfortunately, most guys love it...especially young guys. It gives them the chance to ogle and, why not, if the girl is exposing her wares. However, while the guy might love seeing a girl like that, chances are slim he would want her in a serious relationship.
As for me, I prefer the natural look and classy dressing. I was always modest...even as a teenager (many, many years ago...LOL).

true, and actually a classy outfit that just gives the hint of being revealing when it's not can be seductive too is what some need to realize.

it's sort of a societal thing I think, some feel they have to do it to "compete" for guys they want.

I think they do it to gain attention but that might not be what they really want because it might be bad attention but women do not think of that do they?

I think some don't think of that and some do. Some just want the attention and don't mind if it's for the wrong reasons they are getting it, and as long as they realize it, hey it's their decision.
Others that don't think about that though I feel sorry for because it sets them up for dissapointing relationships (one night stands, etc at times)

well I'm not sure that a boyfriend should really have a say over what their girlfriend wears. My comment to another person was when they said they thought the boyfriend forced them to wear sexy clothes and I thought that was wrong also. Honestly, what a female wears should be their own decision.

the scary thing is I've seen some women over 40 and over 250 pounds trying to dress too sexy, and that's just plain scary at times. It's like they don't own a mirror.

so are you saying all women are greedy of attention or just the ones that dress that way. I don't think you should make too broad a stereotype.

I feel you are wrong. Natural beauty is never gone in a woman. A woman with simple dress looks more beautiful compared to artificial make-ups. This can be understood by only those who have understood nature and natural beauties.
When a woman can look beautiful with no dress, a simple dress decoration will enhance the beauty more.Hence be simple and show the natural beauty.

I think it is because they crave attention, self esteem is probably a big issue, When I become a psychologist I will be able to better explain : )

yeah, I think from the responses on here that getting attention is the major motivation for them to do it

I think that a female who dresses trashy is trying to get attention. Some females are very insecure about themselves and receiving attention, even if its for the wrong reasons, raises their self esteem.

Doesn't really answer the question as to why they do it. And as long as they don't complain when they attract the type of men they don't want then I guess that is true it's not our problem. Unfortunately many then have issues when they attract the wrong guys.

I think many girls dress that way to compensate a lack of self esteem. But then there also those who just don't have a clue on how to dress appropriately for what occassions. I am pretty sure they actually think they look good that way, would you go out in public if you thought you look like a clown? Besides, so many girls out there are trying to dress like the people on MTV. What they fail to realise is they are not on MTV, they're at the mall, hehe. Yes I do believe when you're dressed like that, ie: too much make up/low blouse/short skirt, it is a form of attention seeking whether you want to admit it or not.

I agree with you and guess it takes awhile for them to mature and learn.
