I have no idea that why girls wear low-cut dress or low dress? to show her breast? or  means freedom?  Could someone explain it?

You know, when Europeans first arrived in the Caribbean, they were shocked that the native peoples just went around naked!  Even though the climate of the area meant there was no need for clothes at any time of year, the Europeans thought it was so strange that the natives did not wear clothes. They said that it must be a sign that these people were less civilized, maybe even less developed, then Europeans. 

 

Of course, at the same time, they noticed that crimes of sexual assault, rape, violence, theft, etc. were almost completely unknown.  These people, they said, were absolutely innocent, and completely moral.  Yet, they went around naked. How to explain this?

 

Today we know that those natives were just as human as any of us today.  So, we can see that clothing, in and of itself, does not determine morality or actions.   It is possible to have a naked society and a moral society, although having a naked society wouldn't be nice for me, personally.

Have you ever worn a good suit before?  Even though it is just clothes, and theoretically, no different from any other clothes, it makes someone feel more confident.  Thinking "I look great" is wonderful for confidence.  

 

Clothes are different depending on the situation.  On a beach, yes, bikinis can be great for confidence and be appropriate.  I live close to a beach, and seeing girls in bikinis is normal.  I don't know any boy, even some little 13 year old, that is corrupted by seeing a girl in a swimsuit.

You know, soy has estrogen ^ But seriously, the cure for that craziness is just for the parents to teach their boys some basic respect for ALL women, as opposed to just the "proper" ones.

Right, modesty is an elastic word.  What is modest to you is not necessarily modest to your neighbor.  But if you merely learn to mind your own business, then there is no problem.  society will take care of itself.

 

 

So, for example, you wonder, why is nudity unacceptable.  Well, first of all, weather is a problem ^ But more importantly, that is my own personal standard.  It is not based on what God wants, or anything like that, just on what I feel is acceptable.  I see girls and guys dressed strangely all the time, in ways i might not approve of, but it is their right to dress how want. 

 

Clothes are culturally loaded, as I said.   But if you have some self-control, then seeing a woman's hair or her belly shouldn't be a problem for you.  Even if you are a youth with testosterone.

as far as i'm concerned girls' hopes are to seduce boys and never let them have a nice sleep,

i wonder if it's cold and rainy sometimes, and even though you can recognize some cute girls on the street wearing low-cut dress, i've got the courage to ask one of them one day. don't u feel cold? she said; unfortunately i'm so hot. then i said it's absolutely clear. they captivate us. come on girls you game is over

I think it depends on personality . I never wear low cut dress , although my stature is very good,today , girls can choose whatever they like , at the sametime the choices are become more and more.

maybe because it's a trend

or maybe they feel comfortable with that appearance :D

but women must realize of what kind of clothes really suit to them, otherwise they just show their flaws n fats all over XD

as long as they feel comfortable, i don't mind if my friends were wearing like that, but a big NO for my muslim friends :D
