OP, Do your own thing. Enjoy your life. And I still stand by my earlier post. Lots of jealous jenny's on this forum" :P
Oh here we go. Ok, I'll bite. Why do conversations like this always resort to the jealous card being played? Answer; because the arguments of some are so ineffective.

Personally, I feel if she wants to dress like that, she should dress like that. It's nobody's business but hers and we don't have to look. But people aren't as dumb as some might think. The original post comes across as an approval seeking question to many so they answer accordingly. There are people who seemingly seek the approval and compliments of others and that looks far more insecure than a man who simply knows he doesn't want a woman he feels is on display.

Could some of the responses to the o/p have been gentler? Sure. But that's how it is online. Ask a question, get a brutal answer--to anything. It has nothing to do with jealousy. People just feel comfortable being brutally honest. Doesn't make them right or wrong. Doesn't make her right or wrong.

Actually, I agree. Ineffective might have been a better word for me to choose than jealous. I do stand by my comments. These are my opinions, uncolored by previous judgements of past posts/threads made by this OP. Thanks

I was confused. I had never heard a guy say this before, and it got me wondering whether he was insecure that other guys might start paying attention to me, despite the fact that i was interested in him and no one else. I even told him that.

Also...I didn't think I was dressing too sexy when we went out. I wore sweaters and tops that, although they were form-fitting, they showed no skin.

I'm confused. Is he insecure? He didn't seem to have a problem with how I dressed when we first met.
Move on, let it go. You and he just aren't meant for each other, it doesn't have to be about making him some kind of bad guy. He simply wants a more modest woman who needs less attention from others for a partner.

And you want to be what you are - and need someone who accepts what you are.

If the profile pics are an example of how you dressed on dates I don't really see a problem depending on whether it was appropriate for the situation.

Maybe he could have handled it a little better. But really, how do you tell someone, that they think that they look like a hoochie.

No offense to the OP.

And a guy might be attracted to the hot exhibitionist babe but then start thinking about bringing her home to meet the family or when he wants to bring a date to his workplace office party and start backing out fast.

There are plenty of other men who want a flashy trophy at their side, they want to have the heads turn when they walk into a restaurant or club or Holloween party and aren't thinking about ever bringing her home to meet mom and dad.

I don't see how every break-up means a guy is just a jerk, that doesn't appear to be the case here, he never treated the OP badly, he just didn't want to continue a relationship with her.

After looking at the photos you posted on your public profile, I can't say that you are "shy" about displaying your body in public (no insult intended, you have a nice one indeed) so maybe he felt a little out of his league.

His problem, not yours. Best to find this out early. I would not waste much energy trying to understand his personal preferences. Best of luck with your next guy!

All the pics in your profile have you in half shirts. So I would say that you're either showing too much skin or you're trying to act too sexy and it was turning him off.

Maybe he's not talking about the way you dressed, when you went out. Maybe there were things, other than the way you dress, that he didn't like. Or, perhaps he found someone else, and it has nothing to do with your style of dress. Just be happy he broke it off, instead of playing you like a boot head.
