Why do some women who have great bodies wear blatantly sexy clothes and flaunt their “attributes?” A dynamite-looking woman at work wears the shortest, tighest dresses and acts oblivious to the stares. Are these women usually trying to attract the attention of a particular male, or males in general? And do they realize they are driving us all wild?

I tried to think of something more feminist to say–she dresses that way because it’s comfortable? because she likes the style a whole lot and nothing else?–but I’m going with my gut on this one. She knows what she’s doing and it probably makes her feel good. Nothing wrong with that. (And I’m also guessing it’s for the attention of men in general, as opposed to one man in particular.)

I mean, people in general like to wear clothes that are flattering to them. If you have a great body, chances are that unless you are wearing a burlap bag, it will look like you are flaunting it. Granted some women to dress for attention, maybe out of an insecurity, or for an advantage in the workplace, but I’m sure you might be able to admit that you’d ‘check out’ that woman no matter what she was wearing. It’s the human nature of men and the human nature of women at work here.

However, I feel it has something to do with self-esteem. Women who dress this way want to be noticed. It gives them an affirmation that they look “good.” Let’s face it, all women want to look good to the opposite sex. I think that’s why women are so catty, especially if they think another woman looks better than them.
Dressing skimpy speaks volumes about maturity level. As teenagers, many girls dress in more revealing outfits than older women. It’s as though that’s the one way they know they can attract boys instead of depending on their personality and mind. However, I think if a woman has great self-confidence and self-esteem, she doesn’t need to flaunt her physical features to make her feel “valued” or “attractive.” This woman obviously wants to be noticed, and probably revels in the fact that she is driving all the guys crazy. Quite immature I think.

And yes, they are aware of your reactions. They use it as a tool to get things from men. Back when I was still attractive, (before marriage and four children), I would often dress in the manner that you describe. The attention was very flattering, but I acted like I didn’t notice.
As much as men fall all over themselves for these types of women though, other women hate these women. To them, it seems that everything comes easy for very attractive women because of their looks, so it can be pretty discouraging for those who aren’t gorgeous. You say that your coworker is driving you all wild. If you have female coworkers, check out their reactions.

I don’t think you can blame your distractions on them – it is more to do with your mood and sex drive than the clothes on the people around you. If you were living a few centuries ago, the same thing would happen to you if you caught a glimpse of ankle!

Name : JJ30541, Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : white/Asian, Religion : Agnostic, City : London, State : NA, Country : United Kingdom, Education level : 2 Years of College,A lot of attractive women use their sex appeal to boost their confidence and to some degree it isn’t all bad. A confident attractive woman has power, professionally and socially. That said, I think in a professional environment, the cons of revealing clothes tend to outweigh the pros of extra attention. Beautiful women, whether it’s fair or not, tend to be taken less seriously; other women tend to resent them. And most importantly, when I’m making a presentation the last thing I want people thinking about is me naked! I want them to hear my words. So yes, she knows she’s getting attention, probably cultivates it, but I think it’s a bad decision with its own set of negative effects.

Yes, they do realize they are driving you wild; that’s the point: The outfits are well-calculated to do so. In fact, the entire persona is well-calculated. Especially if a woman dresses provocatively in a work setting, as opposed to out on the town, I would say it comes from insecurity. I love to get dressed up and go out; I can get free drinks and I am sure to dance all night, but this is not the way I intend to find men to date seriously, nor is it my daily behavior. In the end, it’s all about attitude. If you think she’s flaunting it, she is, and she knows it.

It’s to impress other women; if they look better than the women around them then they feel more confident and powerful than the less attractive women. pathetic.
