I try not to be but sometimes it seems deliberate.
I definitely don't want to see too much cleavage or a butt crack when I am eating. Please.

I think that the emphasis for what people perceive and the responsibility that people have for their own minds should be observed and so, your question should read:
"How much are Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Pagans, Atheists or any other belief bothered by what they perceive to be really attractive women who wear what they perceive to be skimpy clothes?"
I think that better expresses the way things should be seen.
I think the answer to the question is:
They are bothered only if they do not see the spiritual essence (mind) of the women, and they should recognise it as a lesson for what they need to learn.

Christians are people too, male and female.
As a normal man, the appearance of a scantily clad woman will be a distraction that could lead to sinful thoughts. I try to avoid temptation most often by simply looking away or at something else.
The Bible tells us we will suffer the same temptations as everyone else, but we are blessed to know that, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can avoid the sin that frequently follows if we choose.
1Co 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so that you are able to bear it.

I find it offensive, because it just reinforces the "women as sex objects" image that has been promoted for sooooooooo long. As long as there are men led by their adrenal glands and testicles, instead of their minds and hearts, there will be sexist pigs! Why reinforce their abberant beliefs with such a display? Why not treat the human body with respect and dignity, and demand the same respect and dignity from others?
I'm not suggesting that it is wrong to dress "pretty", or that the human body is ugly; far from it. I just believe there is a time and place for sexy clothing, and it isn't on the public street!

Should not bother anyone in reality. God made each of us naked and meant for us to remain in that state until the first sin. Not only that, but no matter how good someone looks now eventually age and gravity catch up. So if you have it now to show off and feel like it, do it at your own risk. Just know there had best be something else underneath the skin that will catch someone's heart.

It shouldn't bother a mature Christian at all. What one wears is nothing more than personal preference. Those that are offended by (and jugdmental of) a persons dress are the people who have a problem.

The Bible talks about the inner beauty of a women.
I'm concerned about the message a woman in "skimpy" clothing is saying about herself.
I'm easy, I'm available, I have no respect for myself so I don't expect you to respect me either.
I'm a Christian. I have an 18yr. old daughter with an athlete's body. She's beautiful. I told her she may dress fashionably, but she may not dress like a whore!

Somewhat, but not as much as really unattractive women who wear skimpy clothes. Is that unchristian of me?

They don't bother me at all. I feel that if they want to express themselves that way, that's there business. I wish I could dress that way. I can't because I have had two children and my shape is completely gone. So good for them.

About as much as unlocked doors bother a thief. We are all subject to temptation.
