| Skype chat has been flooding me with stupid-ass topics lately. Have another one. =========================== Skype log: Okay then, ignoring that Skype log, basically the argument narrows down to this: Women (and men), no matter what, dress to impress other people. There's no such thing as "wearing whatever I want" or "dressing to express myself", because at the end of it all, you bought those clothes that you feel like you can wear anytime to impress other people. Exceptions to the argument: Forced to wear shitty clothes you know suck. Being naked. Hand me downs (even then, you're wearing them to keep your parents happy). Random shit people will include after this topic. =========== As a disclaimer (because people are cabbage patch kids), this is not my opinion. It's just a statement to argue for or against. Now go. |
Battlechili1 said: But you choose what's "not horrible" based on what you'd think other people deem as "not horrible", no?I dress to wear clothes that don't look horrible. I don't try to hard to look good as long as I'm wearing clothes. So I don't really think I'm dressing for other people. |
| For work yes. Everywhere else no. People get mad at me all the time because I wear t-shirts and bb shorts everywhere. I like the feel. And you may be able to argue this, but I personally like certain color, patterns, and logos. I feel like it has nothing to with what someone else thinks or wants. |

| Fashionable outfits and makeup aren't meant to impress the guys at all. They're meant to intimidate women. - Yoshitake Rika, Genshiken. The only time I ever dress for myself is when I'm at home and dress in awful-looking but comfortable pajamas. |

| i dress for one person: myself i love clothes and wearing things that fit perfectly and look great is almost a hobby. its more important to ME that i look good. everything must present an image of harmony. dressing can be a tiny little bit of an art if you care about clothes and how they fit your body. i shop extensively at a variety of stores to create the right looks. so yah, it makes ME happy to look good. I am NOT looking for a date! I'm looking to make myself happy. what sort of little creation will i put together today?? yes, i'm nuts. and a bit anal retentive ^^ oddly, i hate makeup. but the hair must be perfect. hehe. |
| I wear the cheapest clothes I can find as to not walk about naked. That's it. Good will is a pretty good place to shop. If that fails, walmart. If that fails still, burlington coat factory. And if that fails? I feel bad for everyone else 'cause I'm gonna be naked. |

| We know you are in a Skype group, Mellow. Maybe next time create a thread without the needless chat dump. |

| I wear clothes genuinely for myself. Some of my clothes are worn out clothes (worn out level: clothes that make your mom secretly threw 'em out). Apparently I have zero sense of fashion, so people complain about this all the time. And ah, I didn't buy my clothes. My mom bought it for me... |
| To tickle Mellow's fancy: No, otherwise I would dress like an idiot. |

| I have a lot of anime shirts, and they're all a size or two bigger than what I 'should' be wearing. The only time I dress to care about what others think about me is when I go to work. My place of work is business casual so yeah, I'd better go in looking halfway decent. Outside of work though? If I actually cared about what others thought I would be dressing a lot differently than I do. I buy what I like and wear it and I couldn't care if others don't like me or anything about me because of it. |
Anime figure reviews: |
| Obviously when I am working, I dress to impress. Same thing goes for formal venues, weddings, church with the family, funerals, graduations, dates, etc. However, I do put my own personal touch on things even in those cases. For example, working in restaurants for more than eight years, instead of standard issue uniform pants, I'd always wear nice looking Dickies, usually with cargo pockets. Though the tie was required for managers, I'd always tuck mine in for utility's sake. Rolled sleeves instead of cuffed. Basically, though I was dressing to impress, functionality is more important to me. As far as casual clothes go, I wear what is comfortable and utilitarian. Usually I'm in camo combat fatigues with a plaid shirt, style and other people's opinions be damned. I am also color blind, which has lead to some interesting situations. For example, this one pair of dress pants I have is green, but I always thought they were brown. My siblings/parents sometimes give me the evil eye when I show up in public like this. Oh, and no offense or anything, but if I had the choice to push a button and everyone else on the planet would disappear, I would do so in a heartbeat, so no, I'm not dressing for the rest of you... :D |

lazzorassault said: Starchaser187 said: I wear the clothes I wear because they look nice on me and are comfy. I don't care what people think so there's no point dressing to impress other people I would fire you on spot if you showed up to work dressing "comfortable". What if he considers a suit and tie "comfy" |

| They who wear clothing should look to it that they themselves do no become attire. And when you long wear into clothes, the clothes also wear into you. We are not people who wear clothes, but clothes wearing people! |
| i dont care what i wear half the time what ever im wearing isnt even clean. I dont care what other people think. I just grab a shirt from my hamper or off the floor throw on the same pair of jeans that i had been wearing for weeks and im good to go. |
Its better to have burned out than to have never really shined... |
| The question was dressing. Not dressing up. You were defining comfy for everyone as what is comfy for you. While your assumption is mostly and most commonly correct it will not always be. But more than anything I'm just busting your chops and being nitpicky. |

[9:16:57 PM] John Katsu: when people say "I wear what's comfy", I think a part of that is "I wear what I could be comfortably seen in" [9:17:31 PM] John Katsu: otherwise i bet bodyshapers and silk lace panties are pretty comfy |

| I asked you a question, Mellow. Not elite-sama. And that hypothetical situation he describes doesn't even come close to an argument. |

lazzorassault said: I like wearing nice clothes to look good. Going to sweats in class looks sort of sloppy unless its 7:30 am... It shows that you are taking others serious and presenting yourself well. You dress nice to work so customers take you serious. Also who doesn't like wearing a nice suit and tie ? Wearing anime/videogame/band t-shirts make you a perma virgin. Once you go to college you should start wearing button downs, polos, nice jeans/khakis/chinos, sweaters. Hoodies and t-shirts are still ok to wear, but not EVERY day. Wearing band t-shirts is nowhere near as 'reprehensible' as wearing anime/video-game clothing, or so I believe. |
geezdad said: Oh no, ignore the argument. Pay attention to the part where I said I'm not wearing anything at the moment...I asked you a question, Mellow. Not elite-sama. And that hypothetical situation he describes doesn't even come close to an argument. And sure, I wear clothes for other people. Why not?™ |

| I feel like comfy could extend to the mental comfort of conformity, but my point is that it doesn't have to. Which means someone could feel comfy (purely in a tactile sense) in a tuxedo. He said he would fire someone who dressed comfy (his kind of comfy not necessarily everyone's). As I said I'm just being nit-picky. |

| Well, I mainly dress for myself That is because being well-dressed helps me feel better , more confident etc I admit that I care about what others think but not much. If the other person is pleased with my appearance it's fine but I wouldn't change my style just because someone may not like it |

| Why not both? :v |

| Unless on a special occasion where I'm actually trying to dress a specific way, I just wear whatever I want. Buying what's "in style" and not dressing a certain way just because someone doesn't like it is something I didn't even do back in highschool when I had a higher opinion of people. |
| I dress for myself. I literally don't give two shits if somebody thinks my outfit is horrendous. |

Heredity said: I wore clothes from when I was 12 all the way up until I was 19. Why? Up until this point in your post, I though you meant you had just started wearing clothes at age 12... :D |
| I find it really entertaining to sometimes wear my stepdads ugliest shirts just to make other people feel embarrassed being next to me. |
