Should we dress to please others?

[RATTER15]

Following on from another thread.

I imagine we all criticise the way people dress on occasions, I know I do to some degree.

When we see a 16 stone woman with her crop-top on and displaying an unsightly belly flap.

Should she hide it from us? or good on her for wearing what she wants to wear?

The young guys that look like their jeans are about to fall down because they are far far lower than is traditional, good on him or pull them up properly, you look ridiculous?

Im not talking about displaying too much cleavage or showing their pubes, or skirt to short etc.

It doesn't take much of an internet search to find her in less. I've only had my hair bleached once when I was young but it was done properly in a salon.

You can find them but none of them are operational.

Golly, DTC ... that IS an illusion.

Most of the times I fly, the plane doesn't even HAVE First Class.

Sorry.

But, if it helps, I have occasionally flown First/Virgin Upper.

I live in a camper when I'm on the road and sometimes I end up putting it in undesirable spots because that's all that is available. I was staying at the back of a trailer park when one night I hear a woman screaming at the top of her lungs "Call 911, call 911!" I run out of the camper thinking the worst and the lady across from me said "Don't worry about it. She does this every Saturday night when she and her husband get drunk. I'll take care of it." It really was a real live Springer family.

Grits??

You're down in redneck land with that one, not the north.

Cue for another thread here, methinks.

That was the weird thing when working for BT................if you flew east you could go club class, but west you went cattle class :-(

I wonder .. do we actually see ourselves as others do? When I see extremely obese young girls in tank tops and the tiniest shorts, bellies & boobs falling out (which I did just a few minutes ago in town, I really do have to wonder if perhaps this is a part of the problem. This girl was probably around 18 and with her Mum and sister. She must have been a size 26 or more at about 5'7". All of the family seemed very large, but Mum was nicely dressed as was the obviously younger sister and so you didn't relly notice their sizes so much. But the older sister was more than flaunting all her assests, to put it nicely. Now, I know I always see myself as being larger than I appear to others. So I wonder, could t be this girl sees herself differently too? Perhaps she actually doesn't realise just how dreadful she looks and sees herself as far slimmer?

I too really don't like the way so many young men wear their jeans ... so low that, to me, they look like they have pooped in their pants! Not a cool look, soooooo not!! lol

I remember when I was young getting the "You're not going out of this house looking like that".......................

I wanted to wear a burkah today cos one of my front teeth fell out and I had to walk through town to get to dentists, and suddenly there were a lot of people saying Hello to which I had to frown and grumble without opening my mouth. Tis all better now!
