The question does remain... do you think, in an all-female world, that you would still bother to dress up? would fashion still exist at all? no, wait, lets change that to "same sex environment" to avoid any sexist bent.
You are just looking at it the "typical male" view of women. If you understand them and been through many experiences of women
, then you would understand that women, even men, dress to look good/cool/tight/individuality, to elicit meaning, to themselves or to others, whichever is important. As in society, education is valued. So as to whoever a group of people, if that type of fashion is valued, it will be the trend to dress nice or that certain way. Of course there are the individuals with creativity and "I don't care what the fuck you think of me."
I certainly don't dress entirely for women. I dress for myself, to feel good, look good, and to also look better then others. I won the superlative Best Style for my school
and I have been single my entire high school year. Implying, I believe is close-minded, that people only dress for the opposite sex is entirely a poor assumption. Competition, values, appearances, price, attraction, individuality etc. all matter in the fashion world. Mainly, what's important to you, as in is society's standards important to you?
Perhaps it is true that you are mostly comparing yourself to other females, and knowing you look good by ANY standard makes you feel great. but the ROOT of that feeling is that when you compare yourself to them and come out at least ok, then you are COMPETITIVELY able to get men, regardless of whether you are currently trying or not.
What do you have to comment about lesbians? :bugeye:
