Just curious. I've always been a t shirt and jeans kinda girl, even though I'm almost 30. I recently had a guy tell me that he wasn't too interested in me because of the way I dress. I wasn't offended since he wasn't my type, but I'm a plain jane. But I'm just curious as to what guys like.
Absolutely. A woman's willingness to dress casually around you indicates she is comfortable in your presence. That is a big turn on.
Here we are on the 6th page of this thread, and nobody has yet remarked that this thread's title is about the causal relationship between dress and attraction, and not about jeans or T-shirts?
To reiterate, the subject is the philosophical meaning of causality. Causality, not casualness.
There, I feel much better now. Returning to the implied topic, it seems to me that Americans are inveterately casual in dress, manner and speech. Normally I arrive at a first-date wearing a suit, even if the venue is a coffee-shop. Yet one gathers that this is regarded as being odd, and almost officious. I'd been keen on seeing more formality in our society in general, whether it be women's dress or usage of e-mail or styles of impromptu verbal greetings.
I believe one should dress according to their preferred lifestyle, and not make presentations for things that really don't represent them ,like wearing a costume.
If a guy wears clothes that appear to be classy and expensive ,and you find out later that he's knee deep in debt, you know he's a phony, what else is he not being truthful with?
False fronts offend me, I wear clothes that honestly represent me and my economic state, and those wearing expensive clothes in my book don't impress me at all ,even if they are wealthy.
I don't know this for fact but, I am told that there are some millionaires in Texas that wear bib overalls and drive old beat up trucks. I have known a few millionaires that do not dress fancy and we are good friends .
If appearances are that important to you, and your into deception, that's what you have to deal with all the time.
IMO
its funny you mentioned that-saw it this summer,,,,
whats with the "juicy" shorts?? across the butt..... saw that alot this summer... for most maine women, those letters are spaced apart, could barely read it.....
Lol yeah I saw that a little too as it's pretty cold here all the time. Juicy I'd imagine means juicy couture which is a brand? I'm not 200% sure though.
There's a woman I know and she looks great from behind, small slim, blonde and she wear playboy etc when she turns round she's roughly late 40s wrinkled and no teeth that's the kind of woman I associate with playboy clothes. Lol
you may not portray yourself as very feminine by the way you dress. if thats how you want to dress then go for it, but don't be surprised if some men are turned off by a lack of femininity. similarly i'm much more attracted to men that appear more "masculine" and i know other women feel the same way. you could try to incorporate more feminine pieces into your wardrobe without sacrificing comfort/casualty. like maybe wear a colored, form-fitting tshirt versus a plain shapeless white one. i tend to do stuff like that because i like looking feminine but i also like dressing down. i wear a lot of leggings/yoga pants because they're tight and accentuate my curves while also being super casual and comfy. i also go for lace and patterns. there are plenty of comfortable, casual and feminine clothes out there.
naturally it depends on the situation as well. there are some circumstances where you just have to suck it up and "dress up" for etiquette reasons. if you refuse in those situations i can understand why that would a huge turn off. if a man was taking you to a nice restaurant it'd be pretty disrespectful toward him to show up in jeans and a tshirt. similarly women will often "dress up" when they are seeking a mate and by dressing down all the time you may be unintentionally and subconsciously sending the message that you're not interested in male attention. eg i never try to look good at the gym or grocery store because i'd really rather not have anyone approach me during those times.
i totally get where you're coming from though. i much prefer dressing casually. my favorite outfit is probably a pair of black leggings + my mountain dew tshirt (womens, kinda form-fitting). at the end of the day, every man has different tastes so its not like no one will be into you.
I do have a few dresses in my closet. So I do wear them if I have to. I also have a couple of dates planned within the next week, so I know that I have to wear more appropriate clothing. I have trouble walking, so heels are extremely uncomfortable. That kinda limits my wardrobe as well. I just feel like if I were to dress up all of the time, then I'd be portraying someone who I'm not. I come from a rather middle class background, so I'm not poor by any means, I'd prefer to spend money on other things.
