Ok, guys sorry about this but, don’t flatter yourselves. If you think that women dress up solely for your eyes only, then you should go on some ego check because, honey, your eyes on us may be the last thing on our minds.
Here are some reasons that even some women themselves might not know on why they want to dress and look nice.
1.) We do it for OURSELVES
Yes well duh! But seriously, sometimes we look in front of the mirror with new clothes or a cute new outfit and right then and there we already feel fulfilled. We admire the fact that we are able to put something together and manage to look good in it. We love that we’re able to pull off something we thought only women in magazines would look good. It boosts confidence not just for attracting the opposite sex but for everything we do in general.
2.) To establish character
We want to have our own style and somehow be told apart from the others. We like it, even without talking, people could already get a glimpse of our personality. Like “She’s the girl-next-door”, “She looks like the party loving chic”, “She’s more of a dolly personality”, “She’s the professional type”, “She’s the sporty chic.” Etc. It’s totally different from being judged; it’s more like a little headline so the readers would be more interested to read the next chapters.
3.) We dress for other women
Say what? Yep! You read it right. We dress for other women. Are we lesbos? O no no no! It’s a girl thing, guys. You really wouldn't understand. For most women, another woman’s opinion on what you look like means a lot more than that of a man’s. A man is easy to please. To please most men, the less you wear, the better. So why would we even bother? To the gentlemen, on the other hand, they don’t notice a woman by the details of what they wear. They see the whole package. Now to us women, we pay close attention to details. So if it’s only to please men, then we wouldn't bother with the little earrings, the bracelet, and the thin belts.
Here’s another trivia for you men. During dates, if you think that girls dress up only for you, you’re wrong. This is one thing that even women might not know. Subconsciously, we really dress up for other women who would see us with you. We don’t want to get the feeling of other women thinking “She doesn't look good for him” Or “She looks too young”. It’s not about being shallow, but it’s about confidence. How you dress greatly affects how people see you. Reject the idea all you want but it is reality. During interviews, how you dress greatly affects the outcome.
4.) For guys
Like I said, guys would be the last thing on our minds, so last on the list. We have to admit at one point or another that men are one of the reasons we want to look nice. So uh yea. That’s just about all the subtext I have for this part of the list.
