On Women Who Dress Suggestively

I would have to totally agree with you..The dress code is quite provocative and yet it is quite acceptable...You can walk around in practicaly nothing. I know I for one have troubles finding decent clothes for my 7 year old daughter at the shops..Everything is too suggestive and that for a 7 year old..Theres no way she will go out in public wearing suggestive clothes, theres too many pervs and idiot people out there as it is...There is too much at stake..

i think a woman should wear something she's comfortable in but at the same time appropriate for the occasion.

I agree with you. I'm 46 years old and I can't imagine my parents even allowing me to leave the house dressed the way many younger women do now. I guess my concern would be that some of these young girls don't realize they may be inviting harm upon themselves. I mean, if you dress a certain way, you must be a certain type of girl, right? Why put the goods in the window if they're not for sale.

I don't think that has much to do with age....I'm only 34 and I feel the same way. What gets me is when I see little girls(12-13-14 Years old)....that are dressed in such flimsy clothing and are showing way more that it's really appropriate at any age.I know I was never allowed to dress like that.

Sorry this is one where I have to disagree with you honey! Everyone is entitled to dress the way they wish and it doesn't mean that they are easy or loose at all! I used to dress very suggestively when I was young - I felt good the way I dressed and it did not mean I was in any way promiscuos ! I can understand why you feel the way you do but I just think we should all be allowed to dress the way we like! I don't dress that way any longer cos I don't have the figure but \I still wear low cut tops sometimes! I am not saying that you are wrong just that we have different opinions that is all! xxx

"suggestively" is so subjective. but you are right, there seems to be a sign of breakdown in our moral fabric. where i am, i keep seeing young girls dressed in skimpy clothing or evening dress as if hey are going to clubs at 12:00 noon! thanks to MTV young people now dresses like their idols thinking that thats how people should dress in public. duh! they are entertainers and they dress as such! but heck, i guess this is whats called getting old. maybe everything is normal, its just me, i am old fashion.

You are being extremely judgemental with your views. You cannot possible classify all woman as being tramps when you dont even know all women. I am fortunately more intelligent and not so superficial as to brand a whole section of the female gender by your personal fashion dictates.

Sorry but I do have to disagree with you here. I am a 56 year old woman who has been mistaken for early 40's. I wear clothes that I feel suit me, but I'm a goth and wear my goth clothes with pride. I wear low cut tops because I can and I look good in them. Whether it is right or wrong, we are in a free country and if girls chose to follow fashion is their choice.

You know I am only 36 and I can't believe how many women dress these days, and young girls. There really is no need to show everything and some just don't seem to mind that at all. I am surprised at what some young mothers wear too and dress their children the same way. Very much a different generation nowadays compared to what we were like years ago.

You would just LOVE my neck of the woods then...Now I'm no slim jim, though not overweight either...but it used to be if you were trying to cover the fact that maybe you had a bit of a tummy bulge, you did some camouflaging --not so with the women around me...they wear skin tight tops that cling showing off every roll of flesh, bellies hanging over their too tight jeans, and yikes, I'm always ready for their boobs to fall out of their low cut tops--like yuk...and they think that this is appealing?? I'm with you...things have certainly changed

From the point of view of an older man (I'm 73) I think you better lighten up! Kids are Lovely, especially girls. Its not their problem that they grow into old closed-minded women. Why not celebrate your body? I certainly would if I was 16. God created us in His Likeness and Image, and thats good enough for me! God hasn't made a mistake in a very long time.

i agree with you and the others when you say the clothes are getting skimpier and skimpier on women these days. showing more and more skin. as a male approaching middle age, all i can say is....thank you ladies. :D

I was a teen in the 70's and my mom complained about the way girls dressed back then. i did wear the little halter tops and short shorts...mini skirts etc. Many of the girls today dress much the same. I think its not so much the clothes but the entire look...the way the outfit is put together that makes the difference between trashy and good taste. My daughter went to leave the house one day in a pair of short shorts, t-shirt and platform sandals. I stopped her. I couldn't put my finger on just why as she was certainly covered but she did look trashy. It was the shoes. When she put on a regular pair of shoes and toned down her makeup, she was adorable again. What I find really disgusting is the girls with the flabby bellys hanging out. No one ever taught them how to dress according to their body types it appears. Even worse is the older women who dress as if they were still sixteen! The most outrageous and distasteful fashions seem to pass rather quickly.

How the young women dress today........i think how the parents raised them has a connection. As we parents we could not demand the young ones what to wear wherever they go. Could be talk to them in a nice way, with "love and care" that they should wear accordingly.that in every place, they should get the "respect" from other people the way they dress and the way they carry the dress. The image of every woman based on the way they carry their dress and the way they go for it. What counted most i think is the "Foundation" how parents brought them up their behavior could affect the way they wear a dress.

i am glad that i had been raised by my mom who is just like you. so, i do dress up in modesty and i am proud of it. though i try to balance looking nice and being modest at the same time, atleast i don't look like i am selling myself to men... you know what i mean. what i am trying to say is that, i do balance things and make sure i don't atleast look so old with the clothes i have. i think a little skin is okey. but too much skin is a no no... anne

Well I've read through all of the responses and I agree with most of them!! I am 58 years old and have been told that I don't look my age.. I dress younger than a lot of my friends in that I like fashion and try to follow SOME of it!! For my job in pharmacy I dress professionally. I am also the wife of an executive director of a worldwide firm and would never dress to embarrass myself or him in our social situations, but I do try to incorporate a flair for fashion with good common sense...and that is what I sometimes see as lacking in our society today...good common sense...our children should BE children and NOT dressing like they are in their late teens, our young adults, young adults...and they are usually the ones that generation after generation seem to shock the older generation with their lack of modesty. I did it in the 60's with mini skirts and mod dressing that parents hated...and yes, they considered it inappropriate and my father even referred to me and my friends as tramps!!! A person should not be judged by their clothing alone....it is one's actions that reveal the core of the individual in my opinion...while my father was calling us names and indicating that we were morally inappropriate..not one of us was promiscous or trampy..we just loved the new fashion...so I'll have to say again...I agree with worldwise in some ways and with all the responders in other ways...I must be in the middle somewhere...Oh, I beg your pardon...I DO NOT agree with the dress your daughter alike scenario...I dearly loved my mother but really disliked dressing alike!!!!!LOL
