This is what men think. But they are often wrong about this. Miss Brat is right on target when she says women are taught that sexy is pretty. Women want to be pretty. This is why women get offended when men treat them as if they are trying to dress sexy when they are trying to be pretty, even if things are hanging out.

She'd have to be pretty dumb to be offended if that is the case for her attire.

This often happens though.

I guess I've never seen that. Perhaps, with someone who doesn't feel they are dressed provocatively - "hanging out" is in the provocative arena. I've seen women become offended, who were attractive in looks and dress, but weren't in provocative mode.

Now, you and I both know that a v-neck is much more flattering than a rounded neck on a shirt. But the v doesn't have to come to the navel, right?

Disagree to a degree. I have spent last 18 years working with mostly women, sometimes the only man on the floor.(nurse). They know why they wear tight behind huggin clothes or show the cleavage. You think they do because women find it sexy?
