Man question

[Life2Christ]

Men:
Would you "pick up" / flirt with / engage a woman who is wearing sweat pants/ or jeans/ or kahki pants/baggy T-shirt (assume she is attractive to you) or are you most likely to engage a woman if she's dressed to impress?

This question is inspired by a Jenny McCarthy article which suggests that women dress to impress if they have any hope of finding a man.

Its nice to see a woman who knows how to dress. It clearly speaks to her understanding of what clothes look good on her body. But that is 2ndary to me. I'm looking for a woman who is comfortable with herself, knows how to communicate and loves some adventure. A woman who is afraid doesn't do much for me these days. By the time one has got to my age I really hope they have some freedom to be their self and not be worried about everyone around them is thinking.

Yes,I would in a mili-second! Especially if she smiles,waves,and /or winks at me. When I was living ih Hawaii,a woman told me that most women dress to impress other women,in order to show off what she's got.

Either way,if she is friendly towards me,it does not matter what she is wearing.

What are the circumstances? If she's at the gym, sweat pants are expected attire. If we're at a community dance and she's dressed in sweats, I'm guessing she won't be surprised if nobody hits on her.

Otherwise, I'll second Exit's response. If she smiles toward me and gives indication that she's friendly, I'm likely to respond favorably.

That is interesting about women dressing up to impress other women, and I think you are right. I often think about wearing a certain outfit if I'm going to be with some friends, not really to impress, but kind of I guess. I want my friends to think I look nice but not to outshine them or compete in any way, but I never contemplated this before......very interesting (said in my best colonel Klink's voice)

I personally feel more confident about myself if I look nicer. Having that confidence makes me interact in a more positive way. I'm more likely to smile.

But, at the same time, context matters. If I'm working, I want my clothing to fit in well with the type of work. If I'm not feeling well, then I'm gonna opt for comfy.

This reminds me of a girl went to school with. Her mother was all about appearances. She was required to get up early even on weekend mornings to shower, get dressed, fix her hair and makeup, just incase they went somewhere. She even had to do this when she was sick. He mother insisted that she always look the best possible. I felt bad for her.
