(6,187 posts)How a girl dresses is indicative of how she (for good or ill) will be perceived by others, particularly strangers.
Ya think? Well brought up young lasses dressed in outfits fit to make Frankenfurter blush? I'll "see" you with a "Frenetic Street" and raise you a "Derwood Drive"
And you want an honest answer as to why it makes us annoyed and uncomfortable? It's simple enough. The average man of the male gender upon perception of a shapely young ankle across the aisle has a bad habit of exploring the leg(s) (from which a shapely young ankle might depend) all the way to the source.
Having ascertained that the legs do indeed go all the way to the top, the eye of the epidermal connoisseur, savors the journey across the sveldt expanse of the youthful abdomen to the abrupt, pneumatic rise of adolescent bosom, and the mind hears the first faint pealing of alarm bells.
However, the glands are in full surge and the eye reluctantly tears away from the impossibly taut skin spilling over the top of a faltering halter to the first angry red eruption of teenage angst. And you realise you have the hots for a kid.
You're angry with yourself, uncomfortable with the situation and annoyed with kid and her mother for the situation you feel they've put you in.
