I’m not sure how you can say men don’t like women wearing their clothes off of the one guy’s comments. To me, it sounds like you found the unicorn.

My tomboy of a daughter is proud of who she is. She wears Levis, a plaid shirt, and a baseball cap and routinely gets mistaken for a boy. I love her unconditionally and would never force her to change who she is.

One thing to note: It’s gone “round-and-round” with this poster. If your daughter isn’t in a dress and heels everyday she isn’t doing everything to take care of herself.

I have the audacity to think my wife (and women in general) look good in tights, nice long sweater, etc… in the winter. Apparently she doesn’t take care of herself or is dong her best for herself…because tights.

. You will find some people have definite opinions on what they think women should wear and have no reservation sharing it. Just keep in mind that it’s their opinion …nothing more.

I know the trads will say no pants (only skirts) for women and almost all priests will say nothing tight or revealing.

She’s 13. 🤣

And she takes care of herself just fine. She has good hygiene and takes meticulous care in choosing her clothes and cultivating her look.

I one day made the mistake of wearing heels to my chiropractic appointment. Oh yea. That was a fun lecture to listen to. 😏 After that, I chucked them in the thrift store bin and haven’t worn heels since. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have given another woman an opportunity to wear them.

I was married for 23 years (I’m now a widow) and neither my husband nor the two other guys I turned down nor the approximately dozen other guys I dated gave a toss about whether I wore a necktie.

If this is a deal breaker for you, then it’s your own personal preference for the women you want to date, just like the other guy who doesn’t like women wearing trousers. It’s not a deal breaker for many or dare I say most Western men.

one comment a man made was that he detested his wife wearing his shirts…men do not like women wearing their clothes! Also, men like women to dress in feminine clothes, like dresses, heels, a woman who takes care of herself and her appearance will always get the attention of men…

I only want the attention to of one man. 🙂. He married me in spite of the fact that I’ve never owned a pair of heels higher than two inches, don’t wear make-up, have never even had my nails done, and am comfortable in hiking boots. Our first date was a hike. I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t have been a a second date if I’d shown up in heels. Oh, then two years into our marriage, I “borrowed” his favorite sweatshirt. I stretched it out so much in certain spots, got breast milk all over it. He said that I could just keep it. 😁 He likes it that I wear skirts most of the time, but he definitely prefers a low-maintenance woman. I am more available to him when I keep the morning routine quick and simple, plus we get the fun of dressing up to go out, on rare occasions.

Good to hear, and honest I had no doubt. I was just saying that…to some on here…if she isn’t in a dress and heels everyday she isn’t taking care of herself.
 
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being petite.

I know a guy who got married to his one and only bride on a mountaintop in Colorado. I asked him why, and his reply was that he wanted his marriage to “be downhill from there”. Literal quote. He’s a bit out there for my tastes but very interesting fellow.

I have been told I wasn’t feminine enough because of this. I also have been told I wasn’t feminine enough because I took STEM classes.

Women aren’t supposed to be too tall, too athletic or too intelligent.

They’re supposed to be dainty…and dim.

I experience similar. I am 5’3 and present on the feminine side, but I always wear black and therefore told I should wear bright colours because my standard black is ‘gloomy’. My mouth line turns downward so I’m often told, usually by older men, that I need to smile more, even though I can be in a perfectly excellent mood. Because of my RBF, women in particular believe me to be stuck up and haughty, when truthfully I’m more likely a bit insecure and feel awkward.

I’ve always been more logical and interested in the sciences. My interests include history, specifically WWI and WWII, and I have zero interest in fashion, shoes, gossip, social get togethers without purpose (I’m fine with, for example, a book club meeting because there is something to focus on), scrapbooking (although I keep art journals), etc. I have more of a male-oriented personality in that at work, for example, my focus is on completing a task, not on socialising. The fact that I can discuss something intelligently without getting emotional seems to throw many people.

It’s interesting how people perceive outliers with contempt sometimes. I’m sorry for the negative experiences you’ve had.
 
I’ve been called Wednesday Adams because I was Goth in high school.

I also have a resting b face.

I think I do, too.

When I was still working in the lab I had newer younger techs say they were afraid of me at first. I asked why? They said it was because I was so serious and tall and authoritative looking! Really, I look like that? We all became fast friends so they obviously got over it! One gal even said that I expected her to work so hard. Then she learned it wasn’t me expecting it, it was the job itself. It really is a hard job and any socializing taking place is when we’re all caught up. Anyone coming in expecting we could socialize while working quickly learned it doesn’t work in a hospital lab! 😂😂😂
 
Scarfs are better. I dont like the look of ties on women. It has nothing to do with being Catholic just a style choice.

I prefer dresses too and jewelry. I prefer high shoes. I am who God created me personally to be.

Sure. As long as you understand God doesn’t specifically create people for dresses, high heels or jewelry. Those are simply your personal preferences.
 
I actually got formally reprimanded when I had my first office job during the summer after my freshman year at university. I was working for a major evangelical ministry in the finance department. It was the early days of the ministry so we were packed into a room with tables along all four walls. About a month after I started, the supervisor calls me into the conference room to tell me that I had an attitude problem because all the girls think I am stuck up and unfriendly. I kept calm and asked for more details, finding out that my work was excellent but the women didn’t think I was ‘nice’. The problem was that everyone turned their chairs toward the centre and chitchatted away whilst doing no work, several times a day for long periods at a time. Hours were wasted. Because it was a ministry there was a premium on being nice, friendly, and over sharing, my minimal participation during the chat-a-thons was labelled an attitude problem. I told my supervisor that I did not mind the occasional conversation but I did not feel right about socialising for hours a day when I’m being paid to work. She admitted that my work was excellent and accurate, that I was always kind and professional in my interactions, that my attitude was positive, and the only real issue was that the women thought I was stuck up because I was quiet. I was 20 years old and shocked by this interaction, but indeed it was a learning experience. In the end, the supervisor talked to the other women about work ethic and not stealing company time, and the chitchat marathons were no more.
 
How would a woman, or anyone else, know if she’s wearing a men’s necktie or a woman’s necktie?
