Blah blah blah, people have the right to do this an that. Women are too stupid to realise their dress-style has a sexul effect, blah blah blah. How about we try and have a more meaningful discussion here? I don't do things solely beacuase I have the right to do them. There generally needs to be some sort of rational reason for doing something that extends beyond the simple fact that it's not illegal to do it. Why would women *want* to wear clothes that eccentuate their superficial sexual features and dilute their personality? Seems odd to demean and jovialise yourself like that. Espcially on the other end of a hundred years of women's rights campaigns. And especially when you don't expect men to treat you as you present/treat yourself.
*raises hand timidly* May I point out that I didn't say that women are too stupid to realise the effects of what they're wearing... at least that wasn't my intension.
I was actually trying to un-generalise the OP's rather general statement of "most" girls... these are girls I know, whom I talk to. Not you... me. My experience of the women I've met, who being involved in music, Ministry, Camp Leading, Musical Theatre, Rugby, Cricket... etc etc... have tended to be of many different types and calibres. But these are things I've noticed.
It was just an example.
You blame me for a non-meaningful discussion, when most of the previous posts are the same if not worse.
I am not a moron. I know you don't do things solely because you have the right to do them, and that there needs to be rationality to it. I actually prefer it when women don't wear revealing clothes personally. Mainly to do with the things I believe about being above reproach. But that doesn't give me the right to say, or even really think of them as skanks without knowing them. I mean if they are they are... but if it's just a hot day and they feel like wearing short shorts... the young attractive Obstetrician Intern at Westmead has every right to wear short shorts.
And a question for the OP. Is a gorgeous/hot/pretty/beautiful girl not beautiful is she doesn't show it off all the time? Does she stop being that? Maybe the sweet gentle girls you never notice only take a little polishing up, or a little growing up and getting out of the school environment before they become real stunners... and when they end up with the guy smart enough to realise that under the "not hot" exterior is actually a pretty gorgeous girl - you're gunna look like a fool!
