Why do some women wear very short skirts/shorts?

I'm a gay bloke, but "can't help but wonder" about some young women who wear short skirts/shorts etc. Equally, young men have "just a t-shirt on" (plus tracky bottoms etc) Why and how can some women "deal" with simply wearing "little up top and below" in freezing weather"? It's obvious, to me, sometimes, that they are simply "freezing to death", but still choose to wear little clothing? Is this a "fashion thing"? Conformity - e.g. "I wouldn't be seen dead wearing a jumper, coat, etc". Is it a deliberate attempt to attract the opposite sex? In my experience, as a gay bloke, I'm both perplexed and amused, that some women are able to, potenially, sexually "allure" many men, because of their "short skirts", the women "take dominance". They know who is looking at them & who isn't, a guy looks at her, and she can "cut him dead in the blink of an eye"... Some men "see it", some men continue to "beat themselves up" by continuing to focus upon "that particular woman", - the extra "Chase" is a "turn on". Potentially, from a woman's perspective, it's a potential "grey area" - assessment of a potential sexual partner & relationship, a potential manner in order to "wind men up", a potential way of making her making her more self confident/arrogant by drawing attention to herself, a fashion, self expression, conformity.... In this aspect, women are a "wiser" sex, they "know" how to "read" people, but is it cruel or, actually, biologically natural, to take potentially take advantage of a potential, simplistic, "tunnel vision" aspect of men?

    I think they dress like that to give them something else to b!tch about...srsly i hate it when they say, "lyk omg, it's soo effin cold!" or "can someone turn up the heat or somethin?" Shut up and put a jacket on or actually wear some clothes. I could understand if they live somewhere where it was consistantly warm/hot, but if you live in, say, Alaska where it is winter about 10 months out of the year, you should know better, and if you still dress that way, I and nobody else wants to hear you b!tch about the cold.

    Some of "us" are just really "attractive" so we wear the clothes that "flatter" us. In my case, I have "fantastic" legs, so I'm a "fan" of dresses and "skirts".

      Hi americanhoney, I'm pleased that you replied without "having a go a me" for being sexist etc. I tried to be "balanced" when I posted...

      Even though I'm not sexually attracted to women (... well sometimes I am...) I appreciate a woman's beauty - her eyes are "1st on my agenda" (same applies to my like of men), I try to assess her personality from a distance, a woman's hairstyle, her body "curves", and secondary to her eyes, are how a woman comes across - e.g. is she warm and "open", or is she likely to "cut me dead".... Equally, from a potential woman's viewpoint, is "that man" looking at me just because he just wants sex, or/and is there more potential.....?

    There is nothing wrong with women in short skirts and shorts. It turns me on big time as I wonder whats beneath the skirt or shorts and the chance of getting a quick look when the lady bends over. BUT NO OVER WEIGHT WOMEN.

    I wear hot shorts because I can. Period. I'm a woman and I'm going to show my lady lumps off - there are no pretences. I don't have to pretend or aspire to be something I'm not.

    I stopped reading halfway through this post, around the second time he had to make a point out of being a "gay bloke". But I'm voting "not normal" none the less for the mind blowing use of quotations.

    I didn't read all of that, I think you are looking too deeply into why women wear short skirts/shorts. As a woman, we have the right to wear whatever we please whether it be for fashion purposes, because it's something one feels comfortable wearing or because it's warm outside! Who cares.

    I think it's to purposely make men drool over whatever the clothing (or lack of) shows off. Why? It can be a power trip, it can be to find a boyfriend, it can be used to get free stuff or get away with whatever. It's just women taking advantage of mens one-track mind for the most part. I do it!! I'm married and not looking but it's nice for the perks and it's a fun power trip!!

    The worst thing about it though is when you get the random creep, but that can be solved by traveling in packs or faking a phone call or text from my husband!!

    Thanks to all, I understand (...well, from a male viewpoint) some of your comments - self expression, individuality, sexiness, fashion, etc... :) One "thing" I do think about is men viewing women (who dress "less") is as a "sex object", and perhaps an "easy fcuk", I'm NOT making a judgement here about men nor women, perhaps the majority of men (?) have a lot more respect for women than "that", and that majority (?) women like to feel "sexy, looked at etc" - that is "you can look, but don't touch...".

    Well, I'm not technically a female, but I'm a crossdressing male (who is a VERY passable female). I own a mini skirt for essentially, what I feel is, the same reason that women tend to own them: attention.

    To go a bit more into that, I enjoy the potential humiliation of it; it's a rush for me when I'm dressed up in public for people to see. But I feel like the overall idea is the same, even though real women won't do it for humiliation, I would assume.

    Outside of being cooler in warm weather it a turn on for most guys. My wife always wears the shortest skirts sans underwear. She still turns me on every time and I'm sure the guys also......

    if they like the way they look why not? people only get worse looking after a certain age so why not enjoy being able to wear what you want no matter what.

    Good for you, baby_princess :) I make no "judgement" on what a woman wears.. I just wanted an honest, open, discussion on here, nothing more....
    I "just wish" that men could/would wear more "revealing" clothes - pmsl!
    Homophobic comments anyone? Or am I just being paranoid, lmfao!

    Yep, I admit it, my posts have been long and I've included tons of quotations... My posts have been long & "boring" - oops quotation... because I wanted to consider "all sides of the argument" - yep another quotation. Thankfully, 99% of posts are OK with my ramblings and quotation marks " ". Quotation marks are used for a reason....

    Also, I make no judgement what a woman wears, even if I mention that I'm gay twice - lol! All I intended was a debate, no judgements, no criticisms... Guess I'm "living in an ideal world"... lmfao! :)

    I 100% agree wigsplitz. I think that there is a thin dividing line between a personal power trip with confidence, and arrogance (e.g. "bitching" at other women because of their clothes or physical features,etc and "leading a guy on & suddenly dropping him like a ton weight". Yep, some str8 men do tend to have a "one track" mind & they don't see beyond that... "Will you walk into my parlour - said the spider to the fly..." - lol!

    A lot of women engage in conversation & are also fully able to see what is going on around them, I've often engaged their eyes as I'm doing the same, men don't tend to look around at what's happening.

    lol @ "The Random Creep" I've experienced similar from a gay bloke's viewpoint) - Mostly I'll be polite, or make an excuse, or if they're really winding me up - or don't take know for an answer - then my "acidic tongue" usually does the trick, pmsl!

    A woman who does dress "sexy" in order to attract the attention of men, may enable her to reinforce her own self confidence (if needed), and to "cut to the chase" (attract men's immediate attention, and enables her to assess a man in terms of a potential boyfriend, husband, etc and perhaps as a potential Father of their children).
    Biologically, perhaps men are "programmed" to have sex as often as possible, whereas, perhaps, a Woman is more interested in the "Quality" of a man (physical features, personality, IQ, sucess, etc).....
