Why not? That's their choice.

It's sad that in 2018, we still blame women for the behavior of men. So women should wear burkas, right? Because surely you know that men will ogle women regardless of what they wear.

Oh, wait. I think I figured it out. Men feel guilty and ashamed of their behaviour, so they look to blame women.

Seinfeld had a schtick about this on one of his shows. According to him, it's like staring at the sun; you just glance, then look away, IIRC. Maybe you need to get one of those special viewers, that you use for watching eclipses.

She lingered for a minute and then passed through to another room and I looked at the guy that was sitting several chairs away and we both picked our jaws off the floor at the same time.



I noticed that he kept staring at her and I did my best to go back to the magazine I was reading after all I am a happily married man and I respect my wife but I will admit that I do still admire the female form (from a distance) like I think most men do.





The question is, why does a woman dress so provocatively if not to be stared at?

I understand that she might not know what she is doing to most red blooded men that see her.

She may also dress to try and attract a boyfriend or she might dress like that because it is comfortable on a hot day.



She might be comfortable but I think most men are uncomfortable especially in this day and age of sexual harassment.

When is it Ok to look at a pretty young women in revealing clothes and when is it not?



I think it is rude to stare but is it respectable to take a notice and how long does it take for a look to qualify as a creepy stare?


For me it was a bit awkward to be seated a few feet away and at eye level with her exposed belly button.

She dressed like that because she knows what her body looks like in those clothes. She likes the attention it gets her. As far as staring.... She absolutely knows guys are going to stare.
If you’re wearing revealing or outlandish clothes expect people to look. Dont like it? Don’t wear such clothes. You’re in public. You don’t have the right to sch privacy as wearing revealing clothes then expecting nobody look at me and if you are you’re rude.

So jeans and a tshirt would be just asking for it?

Most people dress primarily to please themselves and if others like it, that's better. I would like to introduce you to a rock musician who lives in the conservative city of Nashville. His first wife left him for reasons he still can't determine. They made a few albums that were mostly about that. Cinderella broke up when their record company fired them after their last album sold barely over a million copies after they had 3 platinum albums and they had 3 Grammys. They're in Rock & Rock Hall of Fame-reason for hate?

The legal fight w/record co. meant Cinderella could not record together but they could perform together so they did. Tom Keifer put out his solo LP "The Way Life Goes" in 2013. He put out maybe half of those songs as singles over the years. Does anybody know if a single station played even one of his songs with an anti-suicide message, admitting that not all people are happy 100% of the time and that is normal?

If you are really worried that American women need to cover up more to prevent some men from losing control, I urge you to listen to and watch Tom Keifer as he sings to his ideal wife (number 2, Savannah Snow, singer, guitar player, & songwriter just like Tom, as she sits across the street with her guitar) as he does the explanations as he explains to his wife why he looks at other women, as a compromise. See You Tube, smile and/or cry, it'll do one or both "The Flower Song" mainstream rock, top 20 on satellite radio.

but then even an ankle got the temperatures racing hahahaha. MEN? the little darlings..it doesnt matter what a woman wears, a mans brain will look under the clothes and imagine .
