Why women like clothes... and men like women?

al7 · 02-23-2005, 05:15 PM

I find it interesting: guys are more visually sensitive and might be more superficial: if they spot a cute girl.. thats a good enough reason to ask her out, date her and most important to have sex wih her.

It obviously doesnt work that way for women: yes, they spot a handsome guy, but it is not a good reason to date him, or moreover have sex with him.

What I found even more interesting is that guys pay almost no attention to girl's clothes, most guys simply dont care what she wears .. they would rather prefer her to not to wear anythign at all...
And at the same time women do care a lot what a guy wear, and basically even start "evaluating" a guy by his clothes.

And we know: women really care about his personality and earning power, not his clothes.. and men do like her pretty face\body but seems quite indifferent about what she wears.

Any idea why?

Youre wrong.

Women want sex/think about sex as much as guys do. Trust me.

They value looks alot. Clothes simply help tell them more about the person.

And since when is it that personality matters more to women then looks?

I agree, it's not the clothes so much as the overall look...

having said that, I've noticed at uni a very genetically average guy (as far as face/body/height) with a barbie type who most guys would love, he dresses and styles very 'trendy', so it can only hep the ugly f00kers :P

I am not saying women do not value looks. They do.

What I am trying to understand why women want a guy with style (clothes!) but guys seem indifferent to girls' clothes?

Hm. I agreee some hollywood hotties often look very average to me.

Maybe it is just me: I dont really care if she has makeup or not, if she has a style in her clothes or she doesnt.

So basically - you do look at girls's clothes and they are (her style actually an important for factor in attraction?

al7 · 02-23-2005, 07:50 PM

Well, obviously a good makeup\style is better than bad ones.
Right?

What I am saynig that guys seem do not take into account bad girl's style.
It is fine for them.
But girls do look for a good men's style... and they consider it as a very important thing in dating.
Why is that? Men are visula creatures, right, and women seem are not very much.....

Sure attraction is a strange thing, we cant predict it.
And yes, I was talking just in general: girl seem want a guy with a great sense of style. They look at a guy, and if he dressed is not cool, well... they will not go on a date with him or give him a number.

For guys, it doesnt work: if a girl is pretty but in same rags, it doesnt matter: guys do not consider clothes as something really important. But at the same time guys are visual creature...and women seem go for guys personality and earning power.

Since you say girls care more about earning power and personality...maybe she thinks the clothes reflect his earning power ?

We look for different things in the other without even realizing why. I want to say that this might go back to species survival. Women want a man who appears capable of providing for a family--men look for a woman who will bear healthy children. So he is attracted more to her looks than if she wears nice clothes.

Compatibilty is very important: Emotional\physical attraction. And of course she should be a nice person: loyal not not a flake...

I have a a guess: maybe Clothes represent something for women?
Maybe women see clothes\style as....social status or earning power?
How true is it?

Most girls are superficial. They love their clothes because their all about status. It's pretty hard for me to not come across a superficial chick since there just about everywhere. They love it because their all into what other people think of them. And of course they want to attract guys with it but that's more of there secondary purpose of clothing I think.

So to sum it up, clothes for women are all about who looks the best, and like you said al7 social status and power.
