peace4all, haven't you studied any behavioral psychology at all?
Oh just think of it!
A female wanting to dress in clad flimsy clothing which exposes parts of her body that are guaranteed to arouse a man with lust-filled thoughts. And then she gets ticked off because the men make sexual advances and propositions toward her and she insists that he control his nasty thoughts and calls him a pervert because she thinks her provocative dress makes no difference in what is being conveyed to others. She thinks she can dress any way she darn well pleases and if anyone doesn't like it that's just too bad. And she struts off all feeling justified and righteous in the way she dresses. Why after all... she ain't no tramp! :x She is a decent girl who happens to like dressing that way because she likes her sexuality and she happens to think it's cool to dress as sexy as she wants at any time she wants and anywhere she wants to. So there! take that you pervert, get a grip you perv, she says. :roll:
Go figure, she then gets in a huffy and continues to think... Geez, oh man! she can't even dress the way she wants! because people think the wrong thoughts about her! Go figure!!!! She just can't figure out these people. 
She thinks they are the ones who are all screwed up. 
:
Sheesh! and to think... some people think it's all the media's fault. :roll: Yeah right! Give me a break! :-? It is not always their fault... In all actuality.... They just know what a perverse society wants and likes....
The media may have an influence on some things but in the end of it all, the accountability and the responsibility of how we present ourselves to society is ours.
And In general.... society is conservative when it comes to wanting to be in the public mainly "during business hours" and in conservative/family oriented situations, and occasions.
The night life, and the wild side of life... well, that's another story! :-? And it seems that is a whole other world in regards to social life of some people. That is.... if you are liberal and have no regard for the truth about what types of presentation provokes what type of attention.
Does anyone suppose the bible is all wrong in describing the woman who is clad with enticing forms of dress in order to lure a man? Or the bible is all wrong in describing how to tell a wolf from the sheep? It is all evident, and the dress will not hide the true spirit of a man. It will camouflage it, but it will not hide it. The clothes you wear do make impressions. Like it or not!
No difference for the male or female who dresses in certain attire to get their message across! They want to look the part. But what good does that do if they give the wrong impression in the first place by dressing inappropriately to the truth of what they want to express? Yes, dress makes all the difference in the message you are trying to get across!
Some examples:
A friend of mine was invited to a costume party.... He dressed as a geek, greased his hair, and wore thick glasses, and had placed a plastic pen holders with a few ink pens in the pocket of his white shirt.
And to think! No one talked to him the whole night!
If I dressed as a nerd with white medical tape holding my glasses in place because I couldn't afford to buy a new pair, would many people talk to me?
IF I dressed as a whore in very provocative clothing and walked in such a suggestive way down the street.... would perverts try to solicit me?
If I dressed as a millionaire and rented a porsche and pretended I was rich.... would I attract all kinds of people to me that wanted to make friends with me?
If I dressed as a geek or nerd or dweeb, or dork, or what others thought wasn't cool to them.....and I was seeking a modeling job for some expensive clothing store, would I get hired? Would someone actually come to my aid and teach me how to dress in a trench coat so I didn't look so poorly dressed, but I looked cool instead? :o
GIVE ME BREAK! Even though a person doesn't think they are dressing as a stereo-ed type, they really are. In fact, dressing to get a message across, be it for their own sense of what it's worth, or for gaining the attention of another. They are still dressing as a stereo type. Everything has a stereo type attached to it. Even if you change your dress, you are still dressed as a stereo type. Society just does that automatically.
And
Like it or not... the way you dress, the way you act, and the way you express yourself, it all has a very profound effect on those around you!
The webs we weave to deceive or ignore, in spite of the truth of it... Aye? :roll:
This is no different than the notions of those people who seem to think sound has no effect on the nervous system, the emotions or the ears of the human body!
And geez! Why in the world would anyone want to restrict the use of an exclamation mark in a message board? :o
After all.... what harm can it do to use one here or there? And what's the harm in using ALL CAPS?
IT DOESN"T ALWAYS MEAN I AM YELLING. Really, like all I want to do is get some attention and be noticed. If not for the sake of attracting others.... all I wanted to do was "EMPHASIZE" for my own sense of what it was worth..... After all...... Visual effects shouldn't have anything to do with anything and neither should any means of how I choose to express myself have any effect on anyone, be it in the form of sound or expressions of various forms of attitude!
YEAH! RIGHT! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!
Stop kidding yourself, thinking that visuals and sounds and words and various means of expression don't matter!!!!!!!!!!! Because they do!!!!!!!!
Oh, I wasn't yelling..... I was just expressing :wink: :roll:
:-?
:P :-D :o :-? :evil: 8-) :wink:
: :P :silly:
Get the point? :roll:
IT REALLY DOES MATTER!!!
How you dress makes all the difference in the world.
Like it or not, it does make a huge difference on what message is being conveyed to people.
So you may as well stop trying to act as if it doesn't, because it does.
Time to grow up and realize... the world isn't going to change because a person likes to wear a trench coat out of season. And the world isn't going to change just because a person like to dress like a geek, or not.
Each thing in life has it's stigma attached to it! Like it or not.
The whole of life is not some costume party. There is an appropriate time and place for everything. Like it or not.
Rebels are not going to change the world because they think it's cool to dress whatever way they want at any time they want in any place they want. And sad to say,these types of people, most often they do it unconsciously or out of ignorance as to what is the actual effect of their form of expression, in terms of dress or attitude or action has on others, and themselves.
They know not what they do to themselves or to others and they nay pay attention to what they are breeding within themselves or projecting out towards others either. They have no idea as to what impressions they make or leave in their tracks. They have no foresight to what they do to themselves or others around them. They live carelessly in many regards.
more examples:
IF like to wear sweat pants around the house... does it mean I'll wear them when company comes over or when I go on a job interview, or if I go to a wedding! Get a clue! Life is not going to conform to the likes those few who think they can dress any way they want anytime they want. Grow up already! Sheesh! :roll:
So now, are you going to think I'm a witch with a capital B just because you may have thought that I expressed myself inappropriately to you, even though I may think I did no such thing? But don't you know.... I put on a character. Putting on character isn't much different than wearing certain types of clothing. Costume IS clothing. No different than attitude is clothing of the spirit of man. Society isn't going to conform to the one who is out of place to what society thinks is the norm for the appropriate situations and times and places. Like it or not.
Get the point?
Can't fit a square peg into a round hole no matter how hard you rebel or go against that fact.
:changes:
And this message may even bother some of you because of all the elaborate emphasis. Should I conform to better accommodate the whole of society on this board? Would that be considerate of me? Or am I bound to go by the rules of society of this board so as to not offend anyone? Get the point yet? It's all about forethought and consideration of others as a whole. Sorry, but rebels just don't fit in. They don't call them rebellious for nothing, or outlaws, or outcasts, or odd balls, for nothing. You can't fit a square peg into a round hole. Get the point? Stigma is the name of the game in all of society. Sorry, but in reality.... Majority rules. Like it or not. :roll:
You will be assimilated! or you will remain a rebel and an outcast.... All cultures are like that, all companies are like that and all of society is like that. Why do you think there is such a variety in this world? Because not all people are going to conform to just your view of how it should be. God made a variety of people and no communistic ideal is going to alter the differences in people. And so we find ourselves in a world full of people living in harmonious situations as well as finding ourselves in a world full of opposing forces.
:
So trench coat or not.... there's always someone who will be in opposition to your point of view. And that is why I am working on taking a break from this place. Too much opposition :smt021 is not what it takes for making a good balance in life.
Harmony... sweet harmony... where fore art thou? oh sweet harmony. :smt052 :smt057
