Assumptions you make about women based on dress sense

Post Reply New Topic

First - 40/50 isnt OLD.
Second - how would you dress in that age? i can't imagine myself dressing like other women in that age...

I would avoid women that, esp. in cold weather, dress like hookers looking for clients; I would be intimidated and put off by women that appear severly overdressed for the occasion. Apart from that, I don't care much about what they're wearing, as it can b very misleading in terms of personality and different outfits suit different people.

I think bright eyes and a nice smile trump even work jeans and a tacky t-shirt..
It depends on what they're after. If you're looking for 'that sort 'o thing', you're going to look for 'that sort 'o clothes'.. Dress in what makes you feel good, and wear it with some comfort. If FMPs (I'll let the women explain that one..it's mainly heels.. is your thing, then go for it. If sensible shoes work better, that's the way to do it.

I'm different, in that I always liked the 'before' pictures better than the 'after' ones...

As long as what someone is not wearing something so awful to the point that all I can think about is how differnt clothes would look better it doesn't matter.

This is me reporting back!


Last night I went out to a slightly tacky but fun new wave night in Bethnal Green that had some people from a band I liked DJing. I wore my amazing high waisted short-shorts with a black and red cowboy-ish shirt tucked in, tights with lines up the back pretending to be stockings and my amazing brogues.

Essentially, I was halfway there. The legs were on show, but the shoes were flat. It was more cute than overdone sexy.

Sadly the club was full of men with greasy ponytails wearing faded t-shorts for eighties Goth bands. Apparently only the ladies saw fit to make an effort. However, I still view the night as a success because...

a. none of the greasy guys dared to try it on
b. i had a great time dancing with the djs I came to see after their set finished. Ie. I was getting attention from men but not creepy attention.

Hooray!

I notice personal ambiance and presence above all. The girl who's dressed more like she's out to get dick - really won't be as much my gig just because, that's just not my type far more often than not they tend to be the sorts who are terrified of an intelligent conversation. Not that I haven't met all types or really cling to generalizations like that but I think if a girl is dressed like she's there for those reasons has a bit more to prove to me.

The club girls are the wrong type of girls...... to me at least.

Well done, Sarah!

My guess is you still sport a pretty dignified and alternative look. Just from your photos I'm guessing you probably project that more easily than you would the other kind of vibe - which is a really good thing for you in the sense that it keeps you more or less safe (usually) from the other sort of attention that you really wouldn't have been as appreciative of.

"Old" goth in her 40's-50's wearing ugly, shabby clothes: "Frumpy".

With some people, there's just no way to win if you have committed the crime of being female and having more than 40 birthdays.

oh no...she's back

I suppose that you would stand a good chance of winning if you found a man who committed an even greater crime. For example, 50 birthdays, and was obese?

kind of ignorant to be considering someone in their 40's 'old'.....lol
what's wrong with dressing the way you want to dress at any age?
and hell, if you can afford the expensive clothing, i say go for it!
and besides, you 'children' need people to emulate, right?

(this is meant in jest, fyi)

To be fair though, I think she could probabloy make it on 'Age of Love' though and compete with the 20's. The trouble for her would be finding that kind of guy where she's at. For some reason though I get the feeling I won't be surprised if she does find a cool guy - even if he's got a mustache, pony-tail, a chopper or cruiser of some kind, and ends up being more of a Lynard Snynard or Fleetwood Mac fan than an industrial type.

Oh, definitely. They'd have a rough time up against me though, the poor little muffins.

(Not that I'd ever "compete" for some guy, of course. Men compete for women; women don't compete for men. Let's not forget that, ladies!)



Stop, you're hurting me.

Is that really true?
