LOOK but Don't TOUCH! what does it mean?

Look but don't touch... That rule generally applies only on night clubs with strippers and showgirls so that costumers would control themselves otherwise bouncers will be teaching you a lesson. The answer to your question is simple. It's a show of respect. Some girls might wear skimpy clothing or show some flesh but that doesn't mean anybody can approach and touch them.

Hi! I'm a woman but I think I understand your trend of thought. Women who dress provocatively did so, in order to attract attention, so when something bad happens to them, it seemed like they were asking for it. Hehe. Well, in my opinion, celebrities (or showbusiness personalities) go by the trend. The sexier the look, the better it would be for their career, so they pose in magazines and appear in public in their sexiest outfits. For me, that's fine. What's not fine, for me, are women who dress sexy for no reason at all but to attract the males, and when the males start showing signs that they were indeed 'magnetized' by their sexiness, these women would say, "You can look but you can't touch". That's really outrageous, don't you think? I think some women want to be admired, but they tend to go beyond, and either ask for things that they wouldn't wish for OR just play hard to get and derive fun from doing so. Well, to answer you last question, I don't live by this. I can attract men in other ways by not showing some skin.
