Lately, I am seeing lots and lots of slinky dresses on the internet and part of that is my fault because I am looking for a new dress. It has to be Tea Length, with sleeves, and no plunging decolletage. But, I do not want something only fit for the very old.
Many of the dresses I am seeing are often metallic, clingy and might likely have the men steaming at the ears. Not acceptable to me.
So, do women cause this sexy advertising or is it men? I don't know any women who would wear such things, least of all me. I don't see those around me on the street dressed like that. ???
I noticed in your comment you said "I am seeing" what others are doing, and what's happening. When I get asked from someone "what I think" of what they have on or wearing I will make it VERY clear upfront and tell them at first, # 1 it doesn't matter what I think or my opinion, it only matters what YOU think about it, what do YOU like/enjoy wearing? I'm not them, and their not me, EVERYONE is different in one way or another, that's what makes us all Special and Unique in our OWN way(s). But there's too much these days with everyone else seeing what everyone else is doing and not really finding out WHO they themselves truly are as an individual. Everyone else trying to be like somebody else besides themselves. Of course insecurities could play a role in this too or to fill some void you feel is missing or to be accepted by someone or others, NO THANK YOU! When we do this we're not being true to ourselves, who we truly are as an individual, who isn't like anyone else. So if a person wants my opinion on something they need to know first what they like and don't like themselves, and then realize and KNOW I'm not them and their not me so chances are at times we will definitely have differing opinions, tastes, likes/dislikes, el'naturelle!! Which makes me, ME! And you, YOU! I usually watch and look what the majority is sucked into and it just comes natural now to avoid it all. It's like insecure robots nobody knows what they themselves like and aren't doing it, not being true to themselves. If someone has a negative opinion or comment that's not respectful of something I'm wearing or something "I" LIKE and prefer to wear. I'll ask them, Oh! Are you offering to buy me what you prefer or like!? It's always, no, chuckle chuckle, and then I'll tell them, Oh! That's what I thought then shut the hell up. I buy what I LIKE, and I'm not thinking about YOU when I buy it with my money and all you want to do is conform me to who and what YOU think I should be like, NOT going to happen. Of course I'll be smiling when I'm telling them this. They can like me for me, who I am as a person or they can take a hike, and vice a versa. I WILL respect EVERYONE for WHO they are, not for someone I would want or expect them to be or like ME, NO! I look at everyone like a long white blank artists pad on an easel saying when I first make eye contact with them, "Go for it! Give me what ya got, WHO ARE YOU??????
