<p>I’m pretty sure all guys pay attention to these things, so it probably wouldn’t attract the wrong type of persons.</p>
<p>
Fair enough. I don’t personally see anything wrong (or undesirable on your part) if guys spoke to you for said reasons.</p>
<p>Yeah, I beg to differ.</p>
<p>Everyone has their own preferences in guys for relationship but wearing revealing clothes will usually attract shallow guys/ players that the person will probably not like. The point is it’s not about attracting guys and getting them to pay attention to you. It’s called finding the right person and build a strong relationship with them and be with them for the rest of your life. If you’re just simply getting attention instead of ongoing comfortable conversations, I don’t see a point in that kind of relationship.</p>
<p>Guys are attracted to beautiful bodies. It’s a simple truth and beware of guys who aren’t or say they aren’t. Now, the definition of beautiful bodies can be different from guy to guy but the truth is universal.</p>
<p>Women who flaunt it though are trying too hard. Looking nice and caring a little about yourself is all that’s needed. Self confidence, friendliness and fun with a little flirtation is enough to get a good guys attention. Half dressing will get every guys attention but the bad boys will be the ones to jump all over it.</p>
<p>I agree with Madaboutx on that debate…I think as long as you think you look nice, that’s all that matters, and I think that it’s a kind of self-confidence from taking pride in your appearance that ends up making girls more attractive.
In terms of dressing in revealing outfits and flaunting it or whatever, I think that if that’s what some girls need to feel pretty, that’s fine. Though I do think that people should remember that, for class, a certain standard of dress should be maintained in both boys and girls…it is our sort-of workplace and the actual workplace of the professors and administration, so I think that people dressing for class should respect that and “flaunt it” somewhere else.</p>
<p>On the “flaunting it” topic, I’ll say that the girls who dress extremely provocatively get relationships really easily, but you don’t want one of those relationships. Of course, if you dress way too conservatively you’ll rarely generate interest from guys.</p>
<p>For girls, finding a guy who’s interested in you even if you’re not “flaunting it” is similar to a guy finding a girl who’s interested even if little money is spent on her. It’s a good way of weeding out people who are in the relationship for the wrong reason.</p>
<p>But then what does dressing provocatively mean?</p>
<p>You should never, ever have to feel the need to objectify yourself and make yourself more attractive just for a relationship. Of course, males are attracted to some bodies and appearances more than others, but if that’s the only thing that attracts someone to you, that’s a red flag. As long as you are healthy, have good hygiene, etc, there’s no reason any male should judge you for your appearance.</p>
<p>Someone earlier mentioned that relationships are harder to come by if you’re looking for them, and I agree. Focus on what you care about - your classes, your extracurriculars, any other projects or interests you’re pursuing - and the right person will fall into place.</p>
<p>
What? I assume girls look for particular traits in guy, including aesthetic appearance. The same is true on our side as well.</p>
<p>If physical (or sexual) attraction didn’t matter, we would simply engage in a relationship with our best friends of the same sex. Note, I am generalizing under the assumption that the person of interest is heterosexual, but can be reworded with respect to people of different orientations.</p>
<p>I heard animals are attracted to each other because of good smell. I wonder if that applies to humans as well.</p>
<p>Physical Attraction is the cluth of a car, personality is the gas that fuels it</p>
<p>@valeas
Cluth? You mean a clutch? Fitting. If you let it out the wrong way, you’ll grind your gears, cause the car to lurch, or stall it (perhaps some combination of those). But once the clutch is engaged, it doesn’t matter anymore.</p>
<p>@Niquii
Provocatively as in a way that provokes the attention of others, like a skirt that shows underwear (hopefully just that) if the person bends over to get something off the ground, or a shirt with a neckline that nearly plunges to the navel.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, we do find certain aesthetic appearances more attractive than others (but in my experience, something about the guy, a characteristic or interest of his, sparks my interest in him; appearance is only a bonus). That doesn’t contradict the point I made earlier. The suggestion (particularly the way it was suggested in this thread) that a girl looking for a relationship should try to look a certain way implies that, to even be considered a real, dateable girl, she must fit that image. Which is objectifying and sexist.</p>
<p>I don’t think people are saying that a girl should dress nice “to even be considered a real, dateable girl.” They’re just saying that it helps. Which isn’t “objectifying and sexist,” because, let’s be honest, looking great helps guys get girls too. Of course a girl who doesn’t choose to dress in revealing clothes isn’t considered as not a real, dateable girl</p>
<p>In the minds of a lot of guys, it does make the girl “undatable”.</p>
<p>Though I don’t think that’s the kind of guy that girls who refuse to dress revealingly are interested in dating, so it’s a great way to weed them out</p>
<p>It is true that physical appearance matters more to men than to girls though. I remember reading some type of study saying that girls would more often date guys slightly less attractive than they are. Like a 9/10 girl would generally date an 8/10 guy. It was something about loyalty and willingness to commit on the guy’s part being higher if the girl was more attractive than he is.</p>
<p>I’d love to read that study and figure out how they quantify attractiveness. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And WHY would you ever want to date one like that? 
</p>
<p>AeroMike, here’s that study. Relationships are more likely to be successful if the woman is slightly more attractive and intelligent than the man:</p>
<p>“Overall, wives and husbands behaved more positively when the woman was better looking.”

<p>romanigypsyeyes, exactly what I was thinking!</p>
<p>Agreed with most of this thread.</p>
<p>Dressing in revealing clothing will most likely attract piggish men who will objecify you. And, let’s be honest, they may be less likely to be faithful. Plenty of women have lovely shapes. :o
I prefer to be cute and chic. Hopefully I’ll attract nerdy guys? I dunno.</p>
