Why do many girls feel it's creepy if a guy comments directly on her body, even if it's nice and on display?

Question

I've heard a lot of women say that they don't like it when a guy comments directly on their body, even if its positive. But alot of those women also dress provocatively when they want male attention. If a girl is walking around with her nice rack of display, what would be so wrong with guys saying "you got some nice breasts there"? And if they wear the tight pants, short skirts and low tops, shouldn't they expect superficial attention?

Answer 1

because women want to reserve the right to call men pervs

if you don't want guys to look, wear a damn raincoat

Answer 2

It may not be that they don't like the attention or the fact that you're commenting. It may be the way in which you make those comments. Of course there are some girls out there who act kind of hypocritically as well and will dress so provacatively that ANYONE would make comments but then they seem all shocked when someone does. If I would have to venture a guess though I'd say its not that we as women don't appreciate the comments and attention, what we may have issue with is how the comments and attention are presented. Given with class, dignity and respect I'm sure most women would love your comments.

If you park your unlocked BMW, keys laying on the dash, in a parking lot, we all understand you're pretty much asking for trouble. Sure you have a right to park your car like that and not have it stolen, but you'd be a moron if you think that's going to happen.

The way girls dress is kind of similar. If you're going to advertise your body as a piece of meat, sure you have a right not to be treated like one, but that doesn't change reality. Reality is, if you want to be treated better, you have to take reasonable measures to make sure that happens. Like you lock your car and put your keys away, you put some clothes on the merchandise and don't be advertising it. For the most part, if you take those simple measures, people will treat you as you expect and desire to be treated.

I don't want guys to comment on (or stare at) my body like the example you give, therefore I don't dress like that. Guys, I've learned, respond to the nonverbal cue that my clothing gives them. They treat me as well as I tell them I want to be treated, by the way I dress. They're not really the creepy freaks a lot of girls think, I've discovered. You just have to tell them, verbally and nonverbally, what you expect, and they'll live up to that expectation, pretty much. Amazing how that works.

Answer 4

It's unwelcome and inappropriate. Besides, if she has (ehem) "a nice rack" not only does she know it but you're better off finding something remotely original to compliment.

If you must say something about a woman's body - like if you just really lack self-restraint - try being somewhat subtle, unique, and clever about it. Any imbecile can shout out "nice cans!"

Answer 5

Cause for one it doesn't matter how you say it's still disrespectful no matter what in we tend to take it the wrong way cause we feel that when yawl men just comment on our body that the only thing that yawl are thinking about is sex so that's why we don't like the comments about our body we thank yawl for noticing but just keep the perverted comments to yawl self and act like a gentleman in the situation.

Answer 6

Chicks are stupid. They just wear that **** to look good and get attention. What they don't realize is that guys take that as an open invitation for a piece off *** most of the time. Then they're offended by the reactions they get.

Answer 7

I think that if they didn't want the comments then they shouldn't be dressing like a slut anyway. But guys (or girls, if you swing that way) have no right to make comments about sexual assets. It makes a girl uncomfortable and naturally react in a defenseful way.

You should not be saying things to that like a girl, even if she acts, walks, and looks like a whore. Especially in the US.

Answer 8

Look its all about how you say those things to a woman and if you look like some kind of pervert then of course they are going to react in a negative fashion. The other day this guy said to me that he was mad and that he wanted me to change my shirt because my boobs was distracting him...I just laughed it off I didn't find it offensive. Plus I hear so many comments about my boobs..I'm immune to it. I dont dress skanky either. Any hoo...Its all about how you say it.

Answer 9

That kind of response is to be expected if you are wearing provacative clothing. However you are still disrespecting women by objectifying them and that is what makes them mad. If you want to get a woman dont tell her her **** are nice strike up a conversation about something else

Answer 10

women dont like that because they are not a piece of meat to be oogled at. one guy kept staring at my breasts and one day i got fed up and told him i am not one large breast for you to enjoy and i was not wearing a tight fighting or low cut anything it can be very offensive more so if you dont know the person then it is just creepy

Answer 11

yes they should expect that kind of attention if they dress like that im a girl and i get those "comments" a lot and at first it pissed me off but now i think of it as a way a guy commplements u i think deep down inside of evry girl they enjoy it but on the outside they just roll their eyes however i get kinda mad when im like jogging in a sports bra and random guys in cars r like flash ur t*ts u hav 2 admit thats kinda creepy
