The Way Girls Dress

There is one subject that keeps going around in my head and I'm finally going to post on it. To the those easily offended, don't read any further, There are some crass remarks, but they are warrented.
The way girls dress. Being an avid observer of human behavior and working with customers every day, I notice what people wear. Call me old fashioned, prudish, overly modest, whatever you like, but I am appalled at the way women dress. Why is it that the accepted dress code for women is to either show one half to two-thirds of their cleavage or wear something that shows what type of thong they have on. Oh, and the scraps of cloth held loosely together by some ring or tie that pass as shirts should be outlawed. A) They're just gross and B) Most of the women wearing them have no business doing so. I am so sick of seeing bare midriffs, skirts that should be labeled as underwear, jeans that look painful to walk in, breasts that are about to fall out of shirts, and "dresses" that were probably purchased in the toddlers section of the store. Oh, and if the 20 to 30 yr. olds wearing these things aren't bad enough there are always the 40 to 60 yr. olds that are. Is there no one else out there offended by this sight? And speaking of offensive, what about those who are serviously overweight and dress as though they are not. My poor eyes have been subjected to bellies that move by themselves, rear ends that move long after the legs have stopped walking and people wearing clothes that look like they will burst with just one wrong movement. Don't get me wrong, this is not a slam on overweight people. I've struggled with my weight most of my adult life; but I don't flaunt what is unattractive about me as though it were. The main point is, why do women cheapen themselves by dressing the way they do? Women today are supposed to be respected for who they are and not merely the fact that they are attractive, but how do expect anyone to get past the "looks" if that is all you are playing up? Besides, why do you need to run around practically naked to feel like you are attractive? No man is really thinking how attractive you are anyway. You've given them no chance. From "hello" you have their minds in the bedroom, with no time to notice the qualities about you that make you attractive. They probably couldn't tell you what color your eyes are or whether or not they like your hair color or even if they think you have an attractive face. All they see is what will momentarily satisfy them. Every girl wants to feel like they are attractive, and they like being noticed, but don't use that as an excuse for bad dressing. You are valuable because of who you are, not how you look. There is so much more to you than a body. Why don't you make someone work to know you instead of letting them see at first glance what should be one of the most intimate parts of you? When you dress, have some respect, for yourself, women in general, those around you - both guys and girls- and if you hold any belief in God, Him. Ok, I'm getting off my soap box now. You can relax again.
