I was wondering if anyone was going to bring that up. I used the term once, about 37 years ago. She put me in my place and afterward I never used the term again.
To answer the OP question at the heading of the topic --
I never told anyone what to wear. I think for this guy to tell you
"he doesn't like my legs to be exposed" is not only weird but it tells me that he is a major control freak. My suggestion like many others have already mentioned here is to run.
I'm sorry to hear you let a women emasculate you like like. I say word "chick" all the time, anybody got a problem with that they can go kick rocks for all I care.
Your profile is full of desperate pictures, shoving your cleavage on the face of the viewer.
If this is how you dress in public, well, I bet you do, I am not surprised the guy made a request to cover up a bit. Not becoz he wants to control you, but perhaps he doesn't wanna appear as having hired a paid item.
I agree with what your saying, but if she was dressing like that when he meet her, and he still chose to date her. Then that's on him. You can't try to change somebody if you meet them like that.

I'd take more issue with the way he said it than what he said. "I want my woman to..." is enough to either correct him or walk away; I wouldn't care if he ended it with "...be a good mother to any kids we have". You don't word things that way, it's disrespectful.
Honestly, I do think women in general should try not to wear revealing clothing, no matter what "kick" she's on. And I disagree that there's some sort of "right time" to mention it. I think he should mention it as soon as it comes to mind. If there's any clash of important values, enough to be a dealbreaker for either one of you, it only saves you time and effort.
I do not think any expression of disagreement from a man (or woman) about something is a sign of the controlling type. But I do think the way he said it could very well be.
Oh, and do be careful dating more than one person at a time. Assuming they all know what's going on, it's still easy to break some hearts that way.
I also added him on facebook after he insisted (telling me he didn't even get on facebook much) giving him a stern warning not to get upset if he saw multiple guys commenting on my page, seeing most of them don't even know me well...
Well for someone who claimes he is not on facebook much, he seems to be aware of all my status updates and photos posted almost as soon as they are posted....ready with questions. I post song lyrics all the time and he texts, "Babe, you'd better be talking about me." Just annoying crap like that.
I really like him and think he's a great guy, but I'm not sure how much of it is that he's into me and how much of it is his personality.
I see some red flags here. Just keep your eyes wide open if you continue to see him. Sounds as if he might have control issues.
The answer to the question posed in the thread title should be that there is NEVER a point when a guy starts telling a chick how to dress.

I care not to insult anyone. I don't have to use that word and I won't.
Too bad you don't agree. I think the term "chick" is somewhat degrading and I'm surprised at how much it has been used on this thread.
This makes me wonder when, where, and why, "chick" was first used, to describe a lady? Maybe because chickens lay eggs, and women have babies? I never thought about it that way, but I guess that would be degrading.
Dump him. He's not long term potential in your eyes so what do you have to loose. How dare he tell you how to dress! You are not a child. He sounds like he has major control issues. While people can express their preferences - they have NO RIGHT to try and change how you choose to present yourself.
