wow. hey, what's your phone number?

 

oooh, outspokenme, VERY nice! Ypu phrased my opinion perfectly! *claps* but you know, we do ahve to feel sorry for poor pathetic teenage guys. they're just intimidated by our powerful intellect and stunning beauty. *I am just kidding you know*

By the way, O Wondrous Bob, what IS your phone number?

Lots of Love,
Lynne

can't get no satisfaction?

well, um. ok ( where do I start) First- I'm not asking you to wear a burka, but but don't be suprised if you attract only guys who want your body if thats what you display. If you just wear skimpy clothes because no one asks you out, consider this- most guys will not ask you out in less they have a good reason to think you will say yes. Show them that your interested in them. There is nothing wrong with T-shirts and jeans- or evan resonably long shorts- as long as they don't look way to small for your, um, physical proportions. Sure, even if you wear decent clothes we will still notice your body, but it will be much easier for us not to menatally cut off your head and amplify the rest of you. It's nice to know you want us to want you, but unless you look like hagar the horrible, you don't need to do anything special- the fact that you are a girl is enough for you to get our attention. Also, I don't doubt you have hormones, but I've heard that boys are the most sex-driven in thier teenage years, while girls tend to max out somewhere beetween 20 and 30. I realize we drive you teenage girls crazy too, but I don't think it is as bad as what you do to us.

p.s. ABOUT THE POLL RESULTS- It's nice to know I'm not a slimy worm- and as for my phone number, I'm flattered. But unless you live in my town- it's usless. As long as your not two feet tall, eight feet tall, or weigh 400 pounds, I'm sure you would look great to me

I give you credit, wondrousbub, for being honest. I see exactly what you mean, and it kind of makes me think that guys are SUPPOSED to be thinking about that. I mean, that's how our species survives, isn't it? I don't think clothes (or lack thereof) make THAT much of a difference. Guys would be thinking about it anyway. And for that matter, so would girls. But I see your point. And from personal experience, I'll admit to you that when I wear something revealing, it's to get attention. Yes, that's right. We WANT you to want us! Well, maybe that's stating it a little harshly. Becuase, of course, I don't dress provacatively all the time or anything like that. But a little attention from the opposite sex once in a while is not unappreciated. In answer to your question, I guess we probably ARE aware that we're driving you bananas. But another thing I've noticed is that (nice) guys don't make provacative comments to girls dressed revealingly. So maybe if clothes bother you SO MUCH, you should compliment girls on things other than their appearance so they don't think they have to dress that way to get your attention. See? But I don't think you're going to get girls to cover up. It started with the bloomer (people thought THAT was provacative) and it's just gotten shorter and tighter from there ...

I read your "bananas" post, and I think you're full of it.

First off, I've been in "non showy" clothing before, and gotten in the most uh, "mischief". I don't think stuff like that is limiting to the amount of clothing you have on. Saying that it would help if females didn't wear clothes that revealed anything, well, I must say, that wins the oppressing comment of the day award. I'll run to the store and get my burka right away. Guess what? A lot of time, when I (or my friends) wear "revealing" clothing, it's not for the boys, it's for myself. And the way I feel about it is that if you think I dress too provocatively, then don't look.

Next up, who says girls aren't sex crazed, or think about the physical aspects of guys? I mean, come on, we're teenagers, we've all got the raging hormones, I highly doubt it's a trend in only one gender. (And if you do think that girls have such *innocent* thoughts, oh man, I invite you to a day in my head!)

Oooh, just a little annoying question, do you really think about breathing? Isn't that really a subconcious activity (I mean, for the most part)?

I have a tendency to be weird too. I'm the only girl in my entire school who enjoys dressing in baggy clothes or doing weird things. Most guys are scared of me because of it, but do I care? No!

If a guy wants to go out with me (or in your case a girl), they will have to accept me for who I am, as I am.

You seem like a fairly decent guy to me... but I don't know you, so who am I to judge? :P
I know that it's natural for straight teenage guys to have, uh, LUSTFUL feelings towards girls. If my boyfriend didn't have those feelings for me, I'd think there was something not quite right about him (gee, perhaps he was dating the wrong person...). It's when guys let these primal urges take control, making them act like sexist, thick-headed cavemen in heat, that's when it's a big problem.

And by the way, I don't wear bikinis or show lots of stomach, leg, and cleavage. It's just too uncomfortable and degrading; plus there'll always be some other girl that looks better in skimpy clothes, so what's the point? I'd rather have a guy want me for my mind... that and my cute redheaded charm.

One more thing: I never read the posts in my topic "Breasts and Body Image" anymore. I got tired of reading my own whiney posts.
