    Yeah... I'll admit the train really left the station with that one. It turned into way more of a rant than I expected. I think I was playing off of the comment about the intentions behind choice of outfit.

    I guess the main point I wanted to make (and I failed to actually state this) is that when ladies wear something flattering and we happen to notice, that doesn't automatically mean that we assume it's to get our attention. A man would have to be really supremely arrogant to think that women are wearing things just to get his attention. Not to say they don't exist, I'm sure they do, but I doubt most of us fall into that category.

    Ah. I'm well aware most men don't automatically think like that- it's a general post to whoever can use the information. Sure, most of you don't. That doesn't mean things shouldn't be typed that perhaps only a few could use.

    Edit: Although, after living with 3 guys in college (and all their friends who stayed over 24/7), it does seem pretty common to think that a girl wearing suggestive clothing did so to attract men. Which is totally understandable, as many girls DO dress for the exact purpose. Hell, even other girls will assume that- there's a reason I donned sweatpants/baggy T-shirt every time one of them introduced a new girlfriend. Assuming she dressed up for you in particular might be arrogant, but assuming she dressed that way to get attention really isn't. All I'm saying is- if she gets pissed off, here's a reason why it might've happened.

    Fair enough and for what it's worth, I actually agree with you. Of course, there's a lot of things that "men" do that drive me nuts and make all of us look bad, so anything that helps to minimize that is certainly welcome.

    Your excuse can be "I'm breaking ground in men's fashion for this summer. Somebody has to do it..."

    I'm probably going to regret asking this, but what exactly is a banana hammock?

    Ok.

    Would that be ammo for the "panty weapons" mentioned in your sig?

    Panty weapons may or may not be a way to deliver phallic potassium at high velocities.

    LOL I just had an image of RID Optimus in super mode holding that ladder/cannon over his shoulder and yelling "PHALLIC POTASSIUM!!!" followed by an endless stream of bananas shooting out!

    Either way, I don't think I need to google it anymore.
