Even if your primary goal isn't to draw attention to yourself, you should still be aware of how your choice of clothing (or lack of) might draw attention. For example, the woman who's out jogging and only has on a pair of short running shorts and a tank top. She may not have left the house with the intent of attracting men, but she has to know that men will stare and often it won't be the kind of men she'd want the attention of. Does that mean she shouldn't dress that way? Of course not. But it does mean she can't complain about the kind of men who pay attention.

Women in general dont like men looking at them. Or they want to pick and choose who looks at them no matter what they are wearing. A guy might find her attractive and most times they won't go and talk to them or we just look. Is a guy a perv because he sees a attractive women and is just shy to talk to her. Why are men stuck with this job? Really?

I think you have some gaps in your reasoning abilities.

it's just how young women think, at the end of the day.

I just don't understand why all men think that we want them all.........maybe we are watching and thinking" look at this jerk staring at me".

samston I was wondering if you keep a mirror in your pocket just so you can admire yourself all day long.

There is a young lady, fit and top heavy here in town(one of the very few) who jogs in tight short pants and a tiny sports bra. Every time she runs down main street cars smash into one another, people walk into lamp posts and people trip over the sidewalk. Especially with all the old geezers here in town that rarely see a young fit body.

What do you do not look? Obviously people are going to. Surely she knows the chaos that travels in her wake.

I think it's just human biology to look, especially since mating is so ingrained in our psyche. Modern feminism is trying to stamp out men having sexual thoughts or an appreciation of the female form, but without men taking an interest in women we have no offspring, no future.

Personally I have nothing to be guilty of admiring an attractive female.

In another thread I just commented on, a woman is demanding a man "take action" and put the moves on her. We can't do that not using our senses to take an interest in you.

Obviously though there is a difference in admiring something and just being rude and there is clearly men and women that can't find that difference.

I think there are a lot of women that think the same way, in that we all want them, when actually often that is not the case.

With what she is wearing it's pretty damn close to streaking.
