I work with the public on a daily basis and see girls in groups together and with their families. I particularly find it hard to believe how parents allow their early teen girls dress, specifically in low cut tops showing cleavage and skirts and unbelievably short shorts.

I'd also like to from girls in this age group and what your thoughts are pertaining to what kind of reaction you expect by dressing in this manner, what input, if any your parents have on how you dress, and how you feel about the attention you get.

Disclaimer...........I am a happily married man with a beautiful wife, so don't take this as anything else other than a general interest in to the mentality of how and why women dress the way they do today. More than anything, I will turn 40 next year and am starting to feel that feeling where you kind of start shaking your head at the world around you, in disbelief.

Thanks for any friendly and insightful conversation.
Hmm, seems like there's an ulterior motive here of some sorts. I can't imagine my 40 something year old husband asking such a question under the fashion section of a forum. I'm glad my 2 daughters were older before the short bandaid skirts of today. As a parent I certainly wouldn't let my kid wear something that could blow up in the wind etc and reveal it all. Goodness I used to require my kids to wear shorts under their dresses if they were shorter, when they were grade schoolers There was a guy coined "the mall rapist" in my town. He cruised the mall shooting footage of young girls, actually stalked them without them being aware and committed many rapes. Turns out he had a wife and a young daugther at home. Scary these days to say the least.

I've never understood why girls wear tight fitting tops and skirts that show off the vajayjay. But, to each their own. I have giant boobs and long legs so nomatter what I wear, I'll be considered a wh*re.

I don't think this style suits me at all but I think it is a really fun look and I like it just not on me

Sorry to disappoint, no other motive than to ask.

I'm a parent, but I have only a son. If I DID have a daughter, no, she'd not be attired in the hooker outfits I see so many in now. I fully fault the parents for this. Either they are too lazy to be a parent, or the mother is more concerned with living vicariously through her daughter. I wouldn't even let my son hang out with a chick that dressed like that. No flippin' way.

Besides the sluts you have to deal with the muffin top girls and the fat ones who show all their belly fat. That'll make you want to skip lunch.

That's hilarious! Definitely a lot of women out there showing things I'd rather not see!

That was one of my main reasons for posting this, but a lot of the girls I see are dressed like this in the pressence of at least one if not both parents.

I don't see too many girls dressed like mini-hookers. Maybe it's just where I go or who I'm looking at. I know many gals DO dress trashy when they go out clubbing or to the bars but I don't go to those places myself. And I'm not appalled as much as embarassed for them for thinking they look good that way. I think those gals should be forced to watch themselves on video, from all sides, completely sober.

I don't think girls dress like hookers, but it sure isn't modest either.
