Why do women spend so much time, energy and money on their appearances, but then become upset when a man stares at them? And do women really become upset at this, or are they just pretending?

If you are wearing a short skirt (and I mean a short skirt, not one that comes to just above the knees) then logic would have it that you are displaying your legs, because such a skirt cannot be comfortable or practical. When a woman wears a blouse or dress that has a low-plunging neckline, with clevage exposed, then it seems to me that she is accentuating a part of her body she feels is worth displaying in such a manner. High heels were designed by men to accentuate female calves, considered a sensous part of the body, and from the look of them and the way some women walk in them, they cannot be comfortable, so what conclusion should one draw? Tight pants and dresses cannot be comfortable, so I can’t think of too many reasons a woman would wear them, other than to accentuate different parts of her body.
If a woman, or any person for that matter, wanted to dress to “please” herself, then why not wear more loose-fitting clothes, which seem to be infinitely more comfortable? There are so many other options in clothing, for both sexes, that I can only draw one conclusion about a woman who wears shorts skirts, high spike heels and a form-fitting top: She is trying to appear attractive to a member of the opposite (or in some cases same) sex. And why is there something wrong in admitting that? Some men do it as well. Do you think men who wear tight, crotch-hugging pants and shirts unbuttoned to mid-chest do so because it makes them feel good about themselves? Because they feel comfortable? I don’t think so.
Why can’t we just admit that, like some species of animals (of which we are one) we like to spruce up our appearance for the sake of drawing attention to ourselves?

Men do not have to feel that there is always some level of risk of sexaul assault in the course of there daily lives, but women carry this consciousness around with them; even if the risk level is extremely low, somewhere in us that awareness still exists. I don’t think most women think an admiring look in and of itself is a bad thing, but we are coming to that encounter with a more complicated background and mindset than a man would be. I’m sure some people will disagree with me about this.
