I dress how I like and what makes me feel comfortable. I always wear jeans. In cold weather I have sweaters and flannel shirts. In hot weather, t-shirts and some nice short sleeve tops. That's it for me.

Absolutely I make an effort to not only dress in a way that shows I respect my marital status but the way o deport myself. It is a matter of not only respect of him bit myself.

That said I never have dressed or behaved in such an overt stule that anyone would say it shouted available. I think any woman who has yo resort to that kind of hootchi style is seriously lacking on the art of being a woman.

And men that really get that swept up in that kind of woman deserve the misery they usually get.

I understand what the OP is asking.
I'm trying not to sound misogynistic. I believe the OP is referring to cleavage showing, clothing so tight, not leaving much to the imagination. All things women might do to attract a man when single.

What I was trying to convey, had nothing to do with sluttiness.
The OP is asking though, does being in a relationship change the way a woman may dress?
Meaning instead of wearing items that could show off sex appeal, wearing less revealing clothing. Things like pant suits, slacks, baggy sweaters, t-shirts, jeans that aren't form fit. Perhaps I'm thinking too much on the subject.

To me, if I find a woman who likes to wear t-shirts and jeans and a Carhartt coat, no make up and still looks vava-voom, at least to me. She's a winner, and damn well guarantee she'll get the chicken dinner cooked by me.
..yes.. I'm referring to a woman that is more along the lines of a Victoria's Secret model.. tall lots of style.. very fashionable.. but as a single woman very revealing outfits..
Tasteful but still saying I'm available...
Now..when. this type of woman is in a relationship she turns down the sex appeal... her fashion sense Remains the Same it's just her clothing Choice changes... no more really low cut blouses.. now the tight slacks might stay.. and I encourage that..mmmhmm.. I like my woman to be sexy.. feel sexy... for me and for her..
I just don't want her walking out the door advertising it to everybody on the planet.... when I'm in a relationship I turned down my outfit choices as well... I don't wear skin-tight t-shirt that show off my physique..well.ok. I do but that's just my style...lol.. I guess it's a matter of walking around putting off that vibe..
That you're available...hmmm.. but still I don't have boobs to highlight and show off..lol

The answers you got from most women will remain the same.
KLC's got it ---> "I think some of the gals are trying to convey that women dont generally dress to attract a man, whether they are available or in a relationship. They dress to feel good, comfortable, professional etc

If she's at a niteclub, she may be dressing to attract, but not if its a general setting, really and truly,.... women arent checking their 'available' v 'unavailable' wardrobes. I've never heard of that.

I gotta think some woman musta made a joke like that and someone baleed her."

Yes most women but not all...lol.
At least the ones I know do... when I first meet them they dress very stylish but..in a way that says there available..
Then after you date for awhile they turn down the I'm available volume..
On. Their wardrobe.. they keep the hot sexy out fits for dinner though..lol.. Style and comfort can go hand-in-hand..by the way....

As for the rest... prolly Law of Attraction. You are very focused on looks, the outside, so you likely attract ppl who are that way too.
I'm more interested in being able to be me, so I attract ppl who feel the same way. That doesn't mean you look like a slob. It means you have freedom and that you don't have to be fake because your partner expects/demands you to look like a model 24/7.
I wouldn't be able to relax -nor be happy- if I had to get worried each time a lock of hair was out of place because my partner demands perfection of me. Would drive me up the wall. And make me wonder why he was so insecure that he needed perfection.
So I don't attract that kind of partner either.

Ok..just had coffee. .and noticed two women talking casual business... very attractive..women..now.. when they got up to leave one of them was a very tall very attractive.. she was dressed in skin tight leggings high heels a shortcut form-fitting coat..very.. sexy business attire.. it screamed I'm available ...now..

I'm confident in who I am..and I want my women to look her best...but..
When you're in a relationship do you tend to tone down the sexy the availability in the way you look...are.. do you continue to dress..in.the sexy business attire ..that slightly says you are still single.. I like my woman to have Style...but...hmmmm.... anyone feeling me on this...lol


I think it's nice to see women dressed in clothes that suit them, but sometimes, not that often, I see women dressed in clothes that don't. Usually, this is older women with no longer their once youthful figures wearing high fashion clothes, now whether this is because they are slaves to fashion or they just want to say I'm available, either way there is an expression here in the UK we would say they look like mutton dressed as lamb, not really the look most women want to achieve.

Hmmm... seems to be a little confusion over the topic..lol..
I guess what I'm saying is when women are in a relationship a good relationship... do they still feel the need to dress sexy... when they are not with their partner... when at work are just out by themselves....
Of course they will dress sexy when they're with their partner.... but outside of that do they still feel the need.. to dress as though they are available still...ok... hope this helps clear things up..lol.... but I'm pretty sure I will hear a lot of.. I always dress sexy for myself it makes me feel good..
Lol..omg.. what's that saying you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't..lol

I don't understand the "dressing like your are available" ...
Different styles for different people...
Some people are less reserved than others and it may show in their style of dress :dress:, how they wear their hair, if they choose makeup :lipstick: or not... I don't think it speaks of availability or not...
Now if she's wearing a ring on her third digit on the left hand...that might get mean she's not available but she's a confident, stylish woman even though...
Some days we dress down, sometimes up...depends upon the day, the mood, etc...

It is nice to see a well dressed person, brightens the day, what ever makes you feel good I guess.
Some people over here go to the shop dressed in onesys, really, can't you even be bothered to get dressed! rant

Sorry, I don't see how a woman dresses has anything to do with her being available In my experience with Eileen Ford models they simply dressed as they felt relative to the place they were going and enjoyed a variety of looks some provocative, some conservative, some standard just as they wished not in an effort to define their status.. I wonder if this is about how men feel in a relationship where the woman dresses provocatively and his feelings regarding her being so alluring... does the gentleman want his partner to dress down because he feels uncomfortable, wonders if she is provoking her partner with being alluring, or stopped to think how great it is to be with such a wonderful alluring partner?

I dress the same level today as I did three years ago when I met my then wife and every day since.

If you start to dress down, it means you are lazy, lost, and not growing in your life.

Think of it as weeds taking over your garden.

because it is the assumption
that women who dress 'provactively' are hunting for a man
welcome his advances, want to flirt


the same qualities that as man you might have found
alluring and seductive
you now expect her to cover up and hide
once she is with you

Wait. I dress "provocatively" to hunt for a woman and welcome her advanced and want to flirt.

Are you saying I've got it wrong and should wear jeans around my thighs and a daggy T-shirt, dress like a man, to attract a girl?


the same qualities that as man you might have found
alluring and seductive
you now expect her to cover up and hide
once she is with you


That is because men need to control a woman to feel empowered and project their own attitude that if they see another pretty woman they will hit on her, so by making their woman daggy, they are protecting their false fear of their own behaviour projected onto other men, who are just the same.

I like my wife or girlfriend to be dressed up sexy and powerful. I like to show her off and let her feel in control and empowered.
