Of miniskirts and exposed tits

On my way to the shops the other day, I saw a lot of women (eight out of every ten or there abouts) wearing either see-through tops that revealed naked breasts or tops that showed that the breasts beneath were not in bras. The same women had towels or sarongs wrapped around naked lower bodies (I know this because the wind blew apart some of the sarongs and towels and the frantic efforts to cover nakedness were almost comic).

            A few are beginning to wonder why I am mentioning women’s nakedness: Are we not fighting these very confinements and stereotypes? Perhaps you will understand once I am done with my thesis. I digress a bit - A lot of people have tried to create a link between rape and how women dress and I think that’s a load of rubbish; rape has got nothing to do with how women dress. But rape, its causes and solutions is not my thesis here. My thesis is about how dressing and general behaviour affects things like marriage, long/short term relationships et cetera. A lot of people, especially women will question why I am mentioning their dressing in relation to marriage.

“If a man loves me, he will accept me as I am”, is a common retort these days. But I think it is important to examine these issues objectively instead of feminising ourselves into misery. I will begin with men and touch on women a little later in my thesis.

            I have met a lot of men who say, “All women are sluts, all of them without exception”. Whilst it almost borders on stupidity to vouch for human beings, I am pretty sure that no gender, tribe or race is made up of entirely bad beings. In response to the ‘all women are sluts’ statement, I have often said, “Maybe there is something wrong with where you fish and the kind of bait you use. If you fish in muddy waters using grasshoppers as bait, you will catch lots of catfish (mlamba/muramba). Whilst you will fill your fishing basket quickly, the basket won’t be full of quality fish. If you want to catch bream, you have to fish in clean waters using more respectable bait.” My analogy is self explanatory: A man who uses money, cheap pick-up lines and finds his women in nightclubs is not likely to find a good woman. Some sluts have been known to speak in tongues and belong to church choirs and some good women have been known to frequent the nightclub, but the law of probability, with all its flaws is all we have at the moment. Even if there is a good woman to be found in a nightclub, spending a thousand dollars on booze is surely not the way to find her. I now move onto the women part of my thesis, the part where I criticise nakedness in women who are still searching for a long term partner or marriage.

            I have often heard women say, “All men ever want from us is sex.” Whilst it is true that a lot of men only want sex from women, it is also safe to assume that a lot of men are looking for long-term relationships and marriage.  And being shabbily half naked is not one of the ways of attracting a serious man. A lot of women might react to this by saying, “If a man really loves me, he should love me for who I am blah blah blah”, but we should know life is one big acting charade and the sooner we realise this, the better.

            If your tits are hanging loose and a slight breeze exposes your panties, a man who sees you will automatically think of sex and when he approaches you, he will not say he just wants to have sex with you and he will not tell you, you look like a woman has slept with half the neighbourhood. He will profess undying love and you will only realise he was after a one night stand when you are staring at the phone and hoping it will ring. The ‘love me for who I am’ nonsense might be a sound empowerment concept but when we get down to the basics of life, it’s all a load of bullshit. Don’t we all dress-up for job interviews?

            So unless as a woman your need for men is for scratching of an occasional sexual itch, don’t walk around half naked. If you have to do it, at least do it with class and hopefully you will attract an enlightened man who will not think of taking you to the nearest hotel room on the first date? But this thing of going all the way to the shops with just a towel wrapped around your naked lower body and tits in full view of everyone will only attract losers who have placed a bet with their friends regards how many ‘bitches’ they can score. And no, you will not be able to tell who is serious and who has just gotten an erection from your exposed pubic area. Whilst it’s within women’s right to dress as they please, I am all for knowing what kind of fish you want to catch and using the right bait. That’s my thesis.
