I've always dressed in a very revealing way because I love attention and I always get it whereever I go.My boyfried gets incredibly jealous whenever we go out and other guys including his taken make friends try to chat me up or check me out.He wants me to dress more modestly and I just refuse to because it's my choice.What is his problem?If you've got it why not flaunt it?
I've never given him any reason to be jealous and have never been unfaithful in my life but I do have a whole lot of male friends.He didn't order me to stop dressing like that,he just told him he wasn't happy about it and tends to try to get me to cover up when we're at clubs etc.Other chicks check him out all the time and I never had an issue with it.I wasn't dressed in a revealing way the first time we met.I work at an office building as does he where I have to dress professionally which I was when he asked me to dinner.What do I do?

Dress the way you want but be aware that you might loose your boyfriend over this, as it seems to bother him. He apparently did not know of your dress standards when he first asked you out but fell in love with your mind, which is always preferable then to love someone for only their body.○

Having someone who is a bit jealous about the way you dress around other guys is a healthy sign in a relationship. It shows that "he" cares enough to be bothered by it.
At the same time, the guy shouldn't be forceful about it. From your description, it doesn't sound like he is. Therefore, I'd place more of the focus on you and how you feel about him. Maybe there's not enough feeling for him that would make you want to show some respect.
There is plenty of middle ground where the two of you can meet. You don't have to cover up to the point where others can't see your face or hands, LOL, but perhaps you might want to cut back on the cleavage if you catch my drift!!
Regardless of what you decide, there's no point in making this a dramatic thing. By the time you are in your mid 20s, a lot of the expression you're letting out now will be under more control or under less pressure. There are just more important things in life to worry about.

Well, nobody can tell you how to dress or not to dress. It's your body to do with what you will. I can understand your boyfriend's point of view though. I wouldn't like my girlfriend flaunting her goods for the world to see. I think the only thing you can really do is sit down, talk about it, and come to some kind of understanding. Maybe you could dress a little more modestly, but still be a bit revealing. But, just a question, if you have a boyfriend, and you love him, why do you need attention from other guys?

Be very careful about this. Some men will get the wrong idea and think you want them. Many times in rape trials, how a woman dressed is made an issue by the rapist's attorney.

Well if you have a exclusive relationship with your boyfriend, you might want to wear more modest clothing. I'm not saying you need to wear a tent, just wear clothes that do not show your midriff, cleavage, shoulders, and thighs.
Some suggestions:
Button down shirts (cotton or linen)
High-rise jeans, not too tight.
Polo shirts with high necklines
pullovers with high necklines
long skirts
long sleeve dresses with full length skirts

there is a way to dress conservativley and still be sexy. but for real, out of respect for your boyfriend and yourself, try some different clothes for a while. you might like it better! do you ever watch thoes makeover shows where the people get a whole different makeover, and in the end they say something like "i'm never going to wear what i used to ever again! i love my new look!" try it, you might like it.

Out of respect for your bf, and yourself, you shouldn't dress in a way that demands a spectacle of attention. Sexy doesn't have to mean overly revealing.

No he do not have a right to tell you how to dress but he do have the right to leave you because he do not like it. Dress how you like but be aware of the consequences of it. Good Luck.

Keep dressing the way you feel the most comfortable, don't let anyone tell you how to dress.

It is your choice but you really have to respect the way he feels aswell, and listern to him.
Talk to him about it and try to work something out.
