LOL! Yeah, I did say two things that kinda cancelled out each other, but you got the gist.

He knew what she was wearing, not "the deal". Not that she always wore it. Not that she would insist on wearing it. Yeah, he could've ASSUMED, but then he'd never know what could've been.
I chuckled when I read this. Yes, you're right. He probably just thought it was her "club outfit", but STILL... he liked her half undressed look.

To some people (including women), what you wear is not half as big a deal as even the smallest details of your sex life.
The "sex" is more important to me than fashion.

We know where you and the OP stand on the importance of "fashion sense" in terms of your identity. But it's only because you told us. Try and understand that.
It's not my "identity", but I had a few issues in my life of men trying to "change" me, but it was moreso to turn me into a frumpy fishwife.

It starts off with "minor" things, then it escalates into more and more and I've never bared as much as the OP has.

Baby girl, I'm an entrepreneur. I sell ho-tels. So, if you keep talking with me, I'm gonna have to ask for your mans number so I can call him up, and serve him the news that'll blow his fuse.

All the times we went out we were literally pub crawling, going from bar to bar. So no, I wasn't wearing a halter top to a concerto.

Additionally like Marilyn says, if he wants a girl that never shows her legs, meet said girl who dresses that way and date her.

Mod cut: Personal attack.

Was it that he wanted a girl who never showed her legs, or one that didn't wear short skirts (showing considerable amount of leg above the knee, perhaps) in public?

You couldn't know and it'd be inconsequential.

If a guy tells you how to dress after initially being attracted to you, dump his ass immediately, because he's a control freak who is jealous of the attention you receive.

Either they accept you as you are or they don't, there is no middle ground.

Okay, you guys were just bar hopping, then.

As you say, if he likes women who dress conservatively, he should be dating that one, not you. But people want everything, ya know. They want their cake and to eat it, too. I might be wrong, but it seems that he was dating you, thinking in the back of his mind, that there's no way you would ever become the mother of his children. That if you were up for fun, then he was going to take it. Now it seems, he is either falling for you, or thinks you might be falling for him, and is therefore testing the waters to see how far you are willing to go for him. By saying that "his woman" would dress more conservatively, he is is telling you that a.) if you want him for real, you are going to have to shape up, or b.) he has fallen for you and now wants you to consider yourself his woman and start dressing more conservatively so other men don't think you are a paid item, or available. Either way, it surprises me, that you are still with him. It leads me to believe that you actually do want him to be your man, but don't want to change for him. But obviously, whoever doesn't care, or cares less, is going to win this one.

I'm not with him, I just enjoy going out with him. Like I said, I date others. And while what he said pissed me off, it's not a dealbreaker, unless he mentions it again. I have a feeling he won't.
