LETTER: How Do Men Feel Walking Hand in Hand With Half-Naked Women?

28

Dear Editor,

I often wonder what goes through a man’s mind when he’s walking hand in hand with a woman who’s half naked in public. Does he feel proud, embarrassed, or simply indifferent? These days, modesty seems to have vanished from our society.

Women stroll through the streets, supermarkets, and even churchyards wearing outfits that leave little to the imagination, and the men beside them appear unbothered.

Once upon a time, a woman’s dignity was reflected in how she carried herself. Our mothers and grandmothers dressed with pride and class. Now, it seems the more skin shown, the more confident some women feel, as if self-worth depends on how much attention they can attract.

But let’s ask the real question: gentlemen, how does it feel to have everyone staring, not at you, but at the woman on your arm? Is that the kind of attention you want? And ladies, do we really need to reveal so much to feel beautiful or valued?

There’s a time and place for everything, and the streets, malls, and airports are not runways or beaches. It’s time we reclaim a sense of self-respect and pride in how we present ourselves, especially in public spaces.

  1. Comment: Why should this be an issue to you? They are walking with them so it’s quite obvious that’s what they want.

  4. Just make sure your partner put on clothes and stop mind the ppl business, or if you’re a woman make sure you have clothes on and have your dignity

    Always ah focus on ppl business

  5. D Vaughn I’m sorry if she is attractive other men are gonna look at her regardless….I think a woman should be able to dress to suit the occasion….If it’s a day time fete with a beach setting like SOBO or I Rep etc yeah she will be showing off the goodies….If it’s a more formal or semi formal occasion she should know hot to dress for that…..On a man’s behalf he should know what he looking for..If his woman wanna be half naked everywhere they go and it don’t bother him well that’s him…If not then u communicate about it and if she not trying to hear u then u move on if she is not ur type……A good woman should not be defined from her dressing alone but if all u keep advertising is naked body u will get the attention u want or don’t want…..

  6. A sign of the moral degradation of society. People don’t consider their bodies sacred any more. My respect to those women who value modesty. You may not realize it but it does get noticed and it says far more about you than you can express with your mouth

  9. This is so funny because why is the first assumption always that a woman is dressing a certain way for attention? What someone chooses to wear should not be anyone else’s concern. Instead of policing women’s clothing, maybe we should be teaching men to mind their own business, respect boundaries, and exercise some self-control. Yet somehow, that conversation barely ever happens.

    Society constantly frames women as “responsible” for other people’s thoughts or behavior. It’s as if the moment a woman wears something revealing, it becomes her job to prevent someone else’s poor choices. Meanwhile, men rarely get told, “Control yourself. Stop objectifying people.” Imagine how different things would be if that were the starting point of the conversation.

    And if a man meets a woman and is attracted to her because of how she dresses, then he should be perfectly fine with her continuing to dress that way once they’re together. Most women wear what makes them feel confident and comfortable, and that should be enough. Attraction shouldn’t come with a hidden contract for wardrobe approval.

    At the end of the day, it’s about respect. Women aren’t “asking for anything” by wearing what they like. They’re living their lives. And maybe, just maybe, instead of scrutinizing her every outfit, some people should check their own attitudes first.

  10. @ Tonya BULLSHIT!!!!!! If no body ever complement u or evern the guys who do the psssst every now and again u would feel a kinda way….That goes for all women….Get rid of this BS about u dress to make yourself happy it is a partial LIE..Yes u might not be looking no man when u go out but u know men are gonna be looking at u and it gives a sense of reassurance that u are beautiful or in todays world a BADDIE or BAD B***H….

  11. @ Please…….The same women who in the future wonder why every man they talk to only seems to care about having sex but not settling down with them…..When u everywhere showing everybody sex and naked skin when u 50 something and talking bout why no man take me serious….Ask yourself that question………U can dress and feel good about yourself without being naked all the time……..

  12. ALL WOMEN WHO LOVE BEING HALF NAKED IN PUBLIC DO IT BECAUSE THEY WANNA FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES AND WE MEN ARE THE ONES WHO REASSURE IF U LOOK GOOD OR NOT…..IF PLENTY MAN TROUBLE U, STEER AT U OR EVEN PSSSSTT AT U KNOW U LOOK GOOD….IF THAT NAR HAPPEN U GONNA FEEL STINK NO MATTER HOW MUCH U LOVE THE OUTFIT……

  13. Modesty shows class. It says that both the woman and the man she’s with value something more than what catches people’s eye. You can even see that some of them aren’t comfortable in certain things but they are afraid to stand out so they give in and follow the crowd.

  15. Street material dress like the streets. Wife material dress like a wife in modest apparel.
    As a man I would never respect and desire a woman to be my wife who dresses like she represents the streets. We look to them as street material, like an object and TBH money and shiny stuff attracts them all who dresses that way.
    Remember, however you showcase yourself that’s the way people will perceive you and that goes for all period.

  16. Brunch of Prosecutes them be
    Worthless has no pride
    The man them has no taste they will never make them there wives only the riff rats
    Woman in society can do better you all don’t look good dressing that way you all a disgusting imagine
    Nasty looking

  17. @sad,
    What’s your definition of sacred?
    An attractive woman showing off your goods and flaunting her beauty, is no less sacred than your Religious Minister fraternizing with your political minister.
    Don’t impose your religious beliefs and moral values on the human body, and ignore the absence of moral values in government and religious leadership

  18. valid article. The world is messed up and now we are compartmentalizing wrong and right … I do believe in having good ethics.. it won’t be me with that her.and guess what for those who said mind your business.. a quote from Albert Einstein, the world will be destroyed not by those who do evil but by those who watch and do nothing … a fu mi mouth ….

  19. @ Ewwww Please consult hooked on phonics before you try to diss anyone.
    The men who seem to be pressed about these things tend to be:
    1. Broke
    2. Living in a board house
    3. Out of shape
    4. Mout tink
    5. With a woman who looks like shit
    6. Irrelevant

  20. I love my lady to look hot, I am okay with it, in certain environment, actually I require it. I want to be steering at my lady, not other women. So I do love the tight clothing, somewhat see through, and I love when the panties print (in some situations).

    I am a man, and I love what I love. And I do not believe in cheating, so I want all I want from my lady. Tight and short dress or skirt, and really tight leggings/tights.

    Please actually wear a bathing suit at the beach and not short jeans.

    I am moral, legalistic, but also a human. I wamt my lady/wife ro dress a certain way with knowledge she is doing that for herself and or for me. Not for cheating purposes.

  21. It depends whst you mean by half nsked women. Dressings in the dark ages and now are two difference. Style Of clothing and panties has changed. No more bingo bags. It has been replaced by strings. Respect your style and allow others to respect their style.the world has change. That shouldn’t be a topic for discussion. Talk about men who dressed like women and want people to call them SHE.

  23. Very valid topic. Don’t agree with some comment but do respect ur opinion. As a woman being naked does not attract a serious minded individual looking for a woman for marriage. Most times, I believe they r disgusted by it n will just try to go bed with that woman. They will never make her a wife as they r showing their body around for all to see.

  24. I just can’t believe some of these comments all these people saying to mind our business n all these things, public behavior invite public opinions that’s the way society always work if u want us to mind our business keep your women’s nakedness inside which is the whole point of the article you just read. It’s clear some people’s standards in these comments are so low and shallow just like they are, from since when a woman’s ass needed to be shown for her to be worthy of love and attention if she was a good woman a respectable woman her action,her character and the way how she carries herself should be enough to capture everyone’s attention.also clear you males like sharing your women with the entire world like someone said there is a time and place for everything no one saying dress and look like a granny but respect yourself a younger generation is evolving what kind of example are you teaching the young ladies to be able to get a husband they need to dress skimpy because that’s what boys and men like to see it’s preposterous ,some of these girls are getting raped and molested because of these same type of dressing by these curious perverts who are curious and just nasty. Some of yall grown men in here need to buckle the hell up cuh I’m sure some of you guys plan to have children, girl children at that and your daughter dressing in pum pum shorts and tiny ass dresses everywhere she goes and bring home some pants tighter Dan skinny jeans bellow ass bulky boxers wearing shallow head ass boy to u and say dad this is my boyfriend yall needa check yall selves frl. its clear you don’t read to understand and find something positive to say but to talk some kinda nonsense that is far from helpful to the situation at hand!

  26. I wear what works for my body, makes me feel good,and projects competence and self – love.

    However…what someone wears is her choice, and there is someone for everyone…As a black woman I face harsh criticism no.matter..what.

    What I wear/ do will never be acceptable to everyone; and that is ok with me.It is my job to love and care for my own body, and it is not one other person’s business how I express that.

    I find that we are way too focused on other women’s bodies. Learn to be more interested in taking care of your own.( the woman in the photo for this article is absolutely stunning, and the man is likely proud of her) There are so many other more important and consequential issues in society…
