in Chit-Chat
A couple of co-workers were just talking about a segment they watched about what fashions either repel a man or attract one.

Repelling...

Trendy Sweats used for traveling or running errands.
Bright Colour & Bold Pattern
Oversized Coat

So basically anything the woman is comfortable in

Attracting...

Denim & Plaid
Classic White T-shirt
Little Black Dress

Am I missing anything???

    Yes. The fact that we don't dress to repel or attract men.

    I think you forgot the all important yoga pants on that attracting list.

    I don't want to offend anyone so I'm not speaking for anyone but myself....I dress for comfort and function 99% of the time, but I do enjoy dressing up and feeling sexy and if that gets me attention from a man, than so be it!

    I agree with the yoga pants attracting but it was considered to be "Trendy Sweats"

    The segment I watched basically said that men hate long skirts, short skirts, pants, shorts, overalls, patterns, and solids on women . . . the reporter came to the conclusion that men inherently hate everything women wear and the only acceptable attire is obviously nothing.

    That's it? That's all we can ever wear to be attractive to you?

    What about horizontal stripes? Do they count? Or only as long as they aren't on anything that's on the "bad" list? Good grief.

    I can't speak for men, but I bet they find UGG boots repelling. I know I do! :)

    A short haircut repels men who desire feminine women.

    I'm quoting a female friend here..

    I asked her why some women get their hair cut really short. She responded by saying "it's a sign that they have just given up. they don't want to make the effort anymore".

    Because they like short hair, because it's better for the work or recreation that they do, because they had cancer or hair loss for other reasons, because they dyed their hair and want to get back to their natural color, because they are donating their hair to locks of love, For a role they are playing in theatre, because they always had very long hair and want to try something new, and many other reasons.

    No it doesn't.

    I was chased like a rabbit by a pack of hounds even when I was bald.

    Women dress for other women, not men. I don't think men basically care.

    What I find sexy is a woman who's confident. She can wear whatever she wants as long as she's happy wearing it!

    It does. I think every guy I ever dated loved red enough to specifically request it.

    That doesn't mean it doesn't repel men who desire feminine women. That just means you had a bunch of guys chasing after you because of what's in their pants.

    IF we all just ran around naked….the whole selection process would be so much simpler.

    I actually do care much more about feeling sexy, than I do about impressing other women with my clothing, but I'd like to impress them for other more important reasons that lead to respect and friendship. But, I wear what I want. Although, I don't actually want any kind of uncomfortable level of sexual attention from men that aren't my husband (smiles and things of that nature are nice). I just like to feel sexy and attractive.

    I hate to disagree with you but I've had short hair for probably 15 years and I'd say I'm pretty feminine and so would my husband. He prefers it short. There are plenty of feminine and sexy women who have short hair.

    Ah, I call bs. I've been hit on in sweats and just the other day got whistled at in a full-length winter coat. I've been hit on wearing yellow and patterned clothing. What does this mean? Men don't really give a sweet crap what a girl is wearing if they think she looks good.
