Top 7 Things Women Wear That Guys DON'T Think Are Sexy
I quizzed some men I know and some I don't to find out what their biggest complaints are about what women wear and here is what they said. So ladies listen up and push these items to the back of the closet, or better yet into the Goodwill bag, no matter how "in style" you think they, or you, are.
David Letterman Style....
Top 7 Things Women Wear that Guys DON'T Think Are Sexy:
#7. Hand-knitted sweaters in retro colors. These just make you look plain old frumpy.
#6. Big Boots! UGGS included. As a website I was reading a couple of months ago stated, you don't live in Alaska and you are not running the Iditarod so don't dress like it.
#5. Cotton Regular Underwear. I was originally told just cotton underwear later to get clarification that if it was a thong it could be cotton as a thong made out of anything is considered sexy but no full bottom cotton underwear allowed not only because of the looks but the guys expressed, without saying too much, some hygiene concerns on this one. Enough said.
#4. Crocs or any kind of rubber shoes. Alleluia, glad I do see eye to eye with men on at least one subject! Apparently a lot people agree, there is even a website http://ihatecrocsblog.blogspot.com/! I particularly like the Croc-burning video they do http://youtube.com/watch?v=8JYNU5xhMBE. And as one man stated, "I don't like those Crocs, I am a pumps and banana clip kind of guy." We can't completely take this guys opinion to heart as I am in no way encouraging you ladies to go back to the banana clip days, of course, only if you are going to a 80s throw back night.
#3. You knew this one would be here... TOO MUCH MAKEUP! Especially the eye makeup. Guys think it looks tacky, cheesy and just not necessary. So put the blue eye shadow and black eyeliner in the trash, stat. It's not Cirque du Soleil they are looking for just a regular woman.... well I am sure they wouldn't mind if you could be all bendy like those chicks.. but I digress.
#2. Capris! Although some say they could allow these for some occasions where they could be ok, like boating, Guys do NOT like capris. Full length pants or show the whole leg. They think due to a lot of women's proportions they are just not flattering and/or remind them of old lady clothes. So here's one of those things girls that I know you all like but if catching the guys eye is your concern, the capris aren't going to do it.
And the #1. Thing that women wear that guys DON"T think is sexy is ....
Baby Doll Tops! Yes according to all the fashion mags and the celebrity photos, they are in style but they make you look pregnant! As one man told me, "Since I'm a guy, I'm completely dumbfounded by anything that makes the breasts look smaller. We don't understand. We want the breasts to look larger, so they remind us of the first comfort we ever had, which was a breast that, to us, seemed enormous. We're simple creatures and when we find something we like, we latch right on." And it's not only men that must think these tops do this as just the other night one of my friends asked another girlfriend of hers that she hadn't seen in a while if she was pregnant! Open mouth insert foot... just not one with a UGG or a Croc on it PLEASE!

If the eyes are truly the window to one’s soul, then what do our choices in appearance say? Each day we send numerous unspoken messages to those around us and our choices in clothing represent a means of conveying those feelings. As we rummage the wild vastness of our closets each day, do we consciously match our apparel choices to the true messages we wish to send?
While clothing represents an opportunity to express our feelings, our wardrobe choices pale in comparison to the substance of the message we are sending. The sexiest of lingerie will not automatically translate into a message of desire for one’s mate if the substance of their love has long been since extinguished. Likewise, a woman’s unspoken thoughts of love and sexual desire for her partner can be passed on while wearing nothing more glamorous than a paint-stained sweatshirt and faded jeans. The true messages of humanity that we feel for each other come from inner most recesses of our collective being. Confidence, love, friendship, discovery and sexuality all emanate from within our hearts, minds and souls…….while certainly those emotions can be enhanced and communicated effectively through our choices in clothing, the feelings themselves can’t be acquired with a trip to Fifth Avenue.

NO eye makeup! UKIDDINME! enhance.
many(most?)women in Maine dress like they are going camping and have forgotten it is joyous to "stir" a man before her intellect arrives on the scene...what a concept! Deny my senses of your essence? Love above it all baby.
