Will wearing short shorts in summer make men have improper thoughts about me? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

At 29, wearing a low-cut dress that extends to the ankle makes me feel a bit revealing. I'm worried that when I bend over or sit down, it might make men look and start imagining things. After telling my counselor about this, he said no, women in Guangzhou are much more exposed than me, and men can't handle that kind of thinking either. He suggested I test the answer by directly asking men if they would have inappropriate thoughts when seeing a slightly visible bust. So I asked the gatekeeper at the park, and he said no, he didn't think it was revealing to wear a long dress. He mentioned he had seen women running every day with more revealing outfits, and that this was just a low-necked dress; not all men would have those thoughts. I also asked him if he had any thoughts, and he replied no, adding that in this day and age, revealing clothing is normal. After coming home, I switched to shorts and a semi-transparent shirt with a tank top. I asked my dad what he thought, and he said the shorts were too short, but I said they weren't short enough, there were even shorter ones. He told me not to ask if I didn't listen to him, that he didn't want to answer and wanted to go to sleep. I persisted in wanting to clear my doubts, and he got angry, so I left. My husband was also staying at my parents' place, and he said I was naive, that such questions should only be asked to my husband, not others. Have I really asked the wrong person?

Good day, Landlord. I have reviewed your inquiry and hope that my responses will prove beneficial to you.

In the article, you stated that wearing extremely short shorts may prompt boys to engage in sexual fantasies about you.

Thus, three individuals were consulted, and each proffered a disparate response. This resulted in a profound sense of embarrassment.

To illustrate, consider the low-cut long dress. The individual may be concerned that when seated on public transportation, the low neckline may result in a perception of partial nudity. This concern was brought to the attention of the doorman, who provided a response that did not align with the individual's expectations.

The advent of summer evokes a love of beauty in many women. However, each summer, a multitude of occurrences have a detrimental impact on women. In this context, the notion of donning attire that is somewhat see-through instills a sense of trepidation.

Every day, a multitude of occurrences transpire, and it is imperative to consistently elucidate the rationale behind these events. With the passage of time, our two brains have evolved a relatively stable modus operandi for providing explanations, such that in numerous instances, we have already subconsciously reacted to an event even before we have consciously grasped its underlying rationale.

As evidenced by your own statements in the aforementioned article, the mere mention of low-cut long dresses, super short shorts, and summer evokes a plethora of lewd behaviors perpetrated by males.

Thus, you solicited input from a few individuals, and their responses elicited a profound sense of disquiet. Consequently, your emotional state was riven by a complex tapestry of conflicting sentiments.

In some cases, it is not the object itself that affects one's mood, but rather one's perception of it.

It is intrinsic to the female experience to value beauty. As long as one is content with the attire in question, it is unnecessary to concern oneself with the opinions of others.

In this era of legal protection, individuals are no longer fearful of encountering those who engage in sexual misconduct.

One should simply be audacious and act in accordance with one's own inclinations, disregarding the opinions of others. It is paramount to cultivate a state of felicity.

Hello! I can see that you've been struggling for a long time with wanting to wear short shorts, but I'm here to help!

You even went to a counselor to ask about this, which is a great step! However, you still haven't resolved this conflict, and I can feel how sad you are.

1: You are so concerned about whether wearing short shorts will make men think impure thoughts about you, which shows that you are a very self-protective person.

Second: You think wearing super short shorts will be a lot cooler, and you want to wear super short shorts, but you are worried that they might be a bit revealing.

3: Your husband said that you should only ask him and no one else, which makes you even more confused.

Let's look at this objectively!

1. Summer is here, and it can be said that girls love to wear super short shorts! This is a common phenomenon, and it doesn't feel very revealing. Moreover, normal super short shorts can actually hide our parts, which is great for those days when you want to feel a little more covered up.

2. You said that when you wear a low-cut dress, you feel self-conscious when you bend down, and you wonder if men will think dirty thoughts when they see your breasts. This is a good sense of protection. In fact, in this situation, most of us use our hands to cover our chests before bending down. This also looks very elegant.

3. You know, according to what you said, your attire is totally within the normal range and not considered revealing at all! Your husband probably feels that he is your closest person, so he feels a little jealous that you didn't ask him.

You should also try to communicate with your husband and tell him your thoughts. Super-short shorts are also quite fashionable!

I'm so excited for you! I just want to make sure you're taking care of yourself emotionally. Are you worried that you won't be able to sleep if you keep thinking about it? Don't worry about a thing! Just wear whatever you like. It's not like swimsuits and underwear are too revealing.

Hello! I'll give you a hug.

You're confused. Does a short skirt make men think impure thoughts?

It's normal for men to have inappropriate thoughts about women in short skirts. We have moral standards and a sense of propriety.

She might be saying no, but she might be thinking yes.

We can't condemn someone just because they might have impure thoughts. The law can't punish people for what goes on in their minds.

But I'm more concerned about why you care so much that you asked the doorman and your father.

This is probably a defense mechanism formed in reverse.

It means you probably want others to have impure thoughts about you or you want to seduce others.

From a male perspective, there's probably a feeling of whether she's trying to seduce someone.

This is about our basic human desire.

We are socialized and internalize social mores. We may not express our desires and may suppress them.

I don't know your childhood, your married life, or your husband's feelings about you wearing short shorts.

Men don't want their girlfriends or wives to dress provocatively because they understand men the best. They know other men may not have impure thoughts about women's provocative clothing, but they are afraid of being watched.

Men are wary even if they don't act on it.

Will a woman in revealing clothing make a man think impure thoughts? Probably.

It's hard to say if there will be harassment.

Why are you doing this? Ask your subconscious mind to find out.

I'm a counselor who is sometimes positive, sometimes confused, and sometimes optimistic. I love you, world.

The questioner asked:

This question has caused you distress. It has affected you mentally and physically, and it makes you feel anxious, nervous, and afraid.

You've done a great job. You've asked the doorman, asked your father, and tried to understand if you're really so different from most people. You've tried to "normalize" yourself.

Asking your husband or father again makes you doubt yourself. You feel wrong and sad.

When did you start paying attention to your clothes? When did you start worrying about them? When did you start worrying about how people looked at you because of them? What effect did this have on you?

Do you think men around you have other thoughts about you? Why?

What do you think about these questions? Think about what you're afraid of.

You know you're different from other people when it comes to dressing. You also know that men get "sexual urges" when they see revealing clothing. But you don't know where the proof comes from. So ask the people around you. They can tell you why your idea makes things worse.

I don't know the details, so I can only ask these questions here. I hope you find some clues to help yourself.

Clothing represents an era's thoughts and artistic style. It also shows a person's character or the occasion. Clothing represents your state at that time.

Some people are outgoing and dress fashionably, while others are reserved and dress simply. Men can appreciate, like, and admire women. However, the chance that a man will have a sexual impulse because of revealing clothing is low. If he does, the problem may be with him. Don't blame yourself for this.

If you have similar thoughts again, think about what others would think, whether your thoughts are exaggerated, relax, listen to music, or have a phone call with a friend.

Dad has his own ideas, so he may feel his pants are too short. Your husband's response is normal. He loves you. Neither of them is hostile or saying anything bad about you. You're making a big deal out of "problems."

I hope you can relax soon and wish you peace and happiness.

Hello, I'm Strawberry!

The questioner is really struggling with this. She says that she feels really self-conscious when she wears a low-cut long dress because she thinks it's too revealing and that men will have impure thoughts about her. So she went to her counselor and asked him to help her understand this idea better. He encouraged her to go and ask the park gatekeeper for his opinion. And guess what? The gatekeeper said that her idea is actually very normal! We all have different tastes and opinions, and that's totally okay.

The doorman said that the topic owner's low-cut long dress is not revealing. Perhaps the doorman focused on the length of the dress and felt that the length was not revealing. It's so hard to know whether seeing a low-cut dress will lead to improper thoughts! I think only the person who sees it knows for sure. Of course, even if the other person has thoughts, some people will not admit it directly.

There's a funny saying that men think with their penises, but it's not quite right. Men don't react and fantasize when they see all women dressed provocatively. They have more of an internal opinion about women's clothing.

I'd love to know if wearing super short shorts in the summer makes men think impure thoughts about me?

● Why do you want to get an answer and seek verification?

The questioner was looking for reassurance from the men around her about her clothing choices. She also asked her father for his thoughts. When her father gave his opinion, she shared her own thoughts in response. Unfortunately, her father wasn't happy with her, and her husband said that not everyone can ask such questions.

I think the husband of the questioner makes a great point. It's not really something anyone can ask, because it's like a woman wearing something too revealing being secretly photographed, and the other person saying that it's their problem for wearing something too revealing. If the doorman says that he has an opinion, does the questioner think that he's a pervert? If both the doorman and your father say that it's too revealing, will the questioner change her own dressing style?

From what you've told me, it seems like you're looking to wear your favorite clothes, but you're a little worried about being judged by others. It's totally normal to feel that way! We all want to feel accepted and liked, and it's natural to want to fit in. So, you're wondering if your style is seen as normal by others and, if not, why not? If the reason someone gives you differs from what you think, you'll probably want to try to convince them.

It can be so tricky knowing what to wear for what occasion!

It's often said that a woman's wardrobe has lots of clothes, and there's no such thing as too much! Our clothing will also be different for different occasions. When we go to work normally, we can't just go out in a bathing suit. When we want to go to the gym, we can't wear a dress.

It's in a woman's nature to love beauty, and confident women will show themselves. Everyone has a different style, so as long as you wear the right clothes for the occasion, there's no need to worry about other people's comments.

It's okay not to care too much about other people's opinions and comments. We can't interfere with other people's hearts and minds. If we live cautiously because of other people, it's easy to let other people's words affect our normal lives. But we don't have to worry about that!

Let's accept everyone's different perceptions!

The environment in which we grow up, the people we meet, and the knowledge we learn all affect a person's level of awareness. Whether we're conservative or open-minded has to do with the ideas that have been instilled in us. And having different perceptions doesn't affect our normal lives at all!

I'd love to share a little story with you, the original poster. My father was a soldier, and he thought girls should be clean and not wear makeup. So when I first started working and saw other people wearing nail polish, I tried it too. Of course I didn't listen to him, and I said I just wanted to try it. After more and more women started wearing nail polish in society, he seemed to accept that it was a trend and that it didn't mean that his daughter had learned to be bad.

It's not just about the person who asked the question. Every woman has the right to choose what clothes suit her. And we don't necessarily need everyone's approval to feel good about what we're doing!

I really hope my answer helps the questioner. Warm regards,

Hello. I would be happy to answer your question.

If I might offer my own perspective as a woman, I would consider my own aesthetic relationship and

You might want to consider wearing something a little more conservative.

I must admit that I'm not always sure what is meant by the term "conservative" in relation to clothing.

Could you please clarify which types are not considered conservative?

If I may, I would like to take a moment to explain my views on the current problem of your description.

First of all, I get the impression that you care a great deal about this matter.

I feel you may be wasting energy.

Perhaps we could talk about internal depletion? What are your thoughts on this?

I would advise against doing so. It is not beneficial to wear ourselves out.

If this has affected your feelings,

If I might make a suggestion, it would be to try changing into something else.

I believe that wearing clothes out is a sign of confidence, rather than being timid and afraid of this or that.

I would also like to suggest that the same is true for the reverse situation, with boys thinking about girls and men thinking about women. I believe that having these thoughts is normal.

I believe that thoughts are thoughts. It seems to me that this is a matter of principle.

It's natural to think about things like this, but it's not always easy to take action.

I couldn't help but notice that you asked the doorman and then your dad.

I believe it is a personal matter. I must admit that I have a crush on you.

I must admit that I don't have a strong opinion either way. From my perspective, this is something that boys tend to find appealing.

They may believe it is a woman's issue.

If I might make a suggestion, I think it would be helpful to ask yourself whether you like this dress. From what I can see, it seems like you might have some concerns about it, but it's also possible that you simply don't feel particularly enthusiastic about it. If that's the case, you might want to consider whether it's worth wearing it.

If you feel exposed, you might consider not wearing it. It's important to remember that you shouldn't wear yourself down over a piece of clothing.

That's about all I can say on the matter. I'm Lulu the fat tiger.

Thank you for taking the time to ask your question.

I can totally relate to your concerns. It's really about what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to clothing, and it's important to wear something that makes you feel good about yourself. Sometimes society's opinions can vary widely, and it's easy to get mixed messages.

It sounds like you're navigating a tricky balance between personal comfort and societal norms. It's great that you're seeking opinions but remember, the most important opinion is your own. What matters is how you feel in your clothes. If you're not feeling secure or comfortable, it's okay to adjust until you find what works for you.

Bennett Jackson Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth - telling, truth - speaking, truth - living, and truth - loving.

Reflecting on your situation, it seems like you're looking for validation and comfort in your choices. While getting feedback from others can be helpful, ultimately your confidence and happiness should guide your decisions. Maybe discussing these feelings with your husband in a calm setting could provide some clarity and support.
