The Ladies Room: Take it off! Put it on?

The Daily Mail recently discussed a study on what to wear to draw the optimal amount of male attention. If you want to be popular out at the clubs, it’s time to bare…less.
That’s right, girls. It’ official: only 40% of your skin needs to be shown for acquiring optimal amount of male attention. What’s 40%? If we do not include head and hands, because let’s just be reasonable, we’re talking:
- Feel free to show off the arms and part of your legs.
- Don’t hike your skirt too high above the knee.
- And don’t show off the girls too much! You know what I’m talking about. Keep it in your bra.
Our sexual revolution has meant some pretty drastic changes since the more conservative ensembles of decades past. I’ve heard many females touting the slogan, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it!” They brazenly wear the sluttiest outfit possible that will not instantly result in an arrest for public indecency. As the Leeds University researchers found, this will not only attract the wrong kind of attention but less overall than women who are keeping it classy.
Out of the whole study, that was probably the most surprising conclusions. Dressing like you’re a lingerie advertisement won’t get you as far. It will attract the “wrong” kind of attention but not even as much of it. I’ve gone both ways on this. I’ve never been to the extremes of near-nakedness that some women go. If I put some thought into it, I’m sure I’ve gotten more welcome attention when I’ve kept myself more covered.
There’s a bizarre twist to this tale. I feel it’s worth metioning that sometimes it’s fun to dress inappropriately. Think of it as playing a character. It might be counterproductive in the event that you saw someone you were attracted to. You’ll have to chalk that up to missed opportunities. There’s nothing wrong with stepping outside yourself once in a while. Just be realistic about your goals for the night. Chances are, you won’t be meeting Prince Charming. Instead, you will likely be groped by his drunken cousin, Steve the Duke of Jagermeister.

What you wear can have an impact on how you handle yourself — I've seen women that dress slutty and act slutty even though they normally aren't, and vice versa for the slutty ones that decide to cover up.
You're right on the last point though — let it all hang out, and you'll meet some of the worst men life has to offer.

The trick is actually understanding the better and worst parts of your body. Knowing how to accentuate the positives and minimize the negatives. Some people can get away with minskirts and others do better with a halter top. I think most women see a style on someone else and think that if they buy the same get-up they'll look the same.
For instance I have a long torso and short legs. I'd like to get away with the skirt and knee-high boots but I can't.
