What's up with women walking around half naked?

As mentioned in a post submitted last week, I attended a concert with my wife on Thursday night. I couldn't help but notice that a large number of women in attendance were, shall we say, scantily clad. My wife herself pointed out that many went to the concert sans bra. We even spotted a girl in a dress so tight her boobs looked like they were about to pop out, as well as another who was literally lap dancing on the guy who was with her, presumably her boyfriend or husband.

I got the sense that a lot of these women are no strangers to concerts, let alone the dressing habits of those who attend them. It seems they know what to expect when they get there, so they dress accordingly. Mind you, this concert featured a lot of dance music, so, if asked, most of them would probably say they wanted to go in something "comfortable."

Still, there were women on hand dressed far more conservatively. I wonder if being around so many provocatively-dressed women made them feel as if they were at a club instead of a concert.

As I've said before, I think women have every right to dress as they so desire. But I wouldn't be too happy if my wife decided she wanted to bare so much skin at a concert or anywhere else for that matter. I can only assume that these women's partners either don't care or they enjoy "showing off" their wives' or girlfriends' good physique -- as if to wave a carrot in other guys' faces while saying, "you can look but you can't touch -- she's all mine."

I think women's clothing -- or lack thereof -- can be distracting to men and women, obviously for different reasons. I suppose many women would look at these women and wonder whether they thought clothing was optional, while men with a wandering eye might get a good peep show. 

It makes you wonder whether some people even attend the concert for the music. 

Have you noticed women dressing this way anywhere? Why do you think some women feel comfortable walking around half naked? Do you feel comfortable dressing like this in certain contexts? If so, which ones?

I see women in a similar state of undress in the local supermarket on a regular basis. At least they can never be accused of shoplifting. The mystery of womankind is a thing of the past I fear.

As a young female adult, I find it has nothing to do with the boyfriend and more to do with social media and peers. Girls learn guys like their body, they can get some nice attention out of it, but peers, media, even some parents support this because well, they do it too! I agree, wear what you want, but I'd prefer it in a society where my partner wouldn't be called a cis if he looked (I know i certainly would look lol) or didn't have to be fearful of looking because society has turned the nude body into some sort of forbidden magic box that will persecute him for getting turned on - they can wear what they want but a mother can't even breastfeed in public?

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it?  After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

No response from someone IS a response

Make no mistake about it: When you don't get a response from someone -- whether they fail to answer your texts or return your phone calls -- it is  still a response, and a powerful one at that. When a person fails to respond, it's a direct reflection of their interest -- or lack thereof -- in the relationship. Few things are more aggravating than having to hound a partner, friend, or relative for some sort of reply after we've reached out to them. Yes, we get busy from time to time, but that doesn't give anyone the right to leave the other person hanging. A terse text with something like "Been busy, will reach out soon" doesn't say much, but at least it shows some effort to bring the other person up to speed on why they've fallen off the radar. Failing to provide a response for weeks -- if not months -- communicates that you are just not a priority, and that you'll have to wait your turn to get this individual's attention. This is n...

An important note to women about men and attraction

I was raised by my mom, grandma, and two older sisters.  Growing up, never did I ever take any interest in the girls at school who tended toward exposing more skin. I always treated them as I would my female family members -- with the utmost courtesy and respect.  And anytime I suspected that a male friend or acquaintance of mine adopted a hump-and-dump attitude toward women, I nixed them from my life. I held men who treated women as objects in very low regard, and still do to this day. If women feel empowered to show off their bodies because they love and work hard on their physique, more power to them. In other words, if they're doing it to please THEMSELVES and no one else, good for them.  However, those who do it specifically to curry men's favor are making a big mistake. It sends the wrong signals and actually makes it less likely that a man will want to stick around for a committed relationship (if that's what you want as anyway).  Granted, if you're not lookin...
