Why?[/quote]
Because male sexual aggression frightens me and I don’t seek to encourage it outside of the context of a committed relationship. When I dress with reasonable modestly (though I’m no Amish woman) men treat me differently. I am already regretting having posted the pic, which I really had not recognized as being so breast-y when I cropped it ( was little on my screen). The tone of some of the posters is different as a resule. People I don’t respect treating me with a decided lack of respect.
Just a matter of preference. I have enough to offer, I feel, that my body can come as a happy surprise to the select men with whom I choose to share it. This is the pic Chushion was referring to when he offered that he didn’t see curves - I spend most of my time dressed something like this:

Frightens you?
99% of the time you just have to say no.
Hell, 99% of the time they are more scared of you than you of them.
No kidding.
Unfortunately.

Overwhelms might be a better word than frightens. Mostly I just don’t want to deal with it. I want men who want women like me, that’s all. The way I dress and carry myself broadcast that I’m not casual and getting to know me won’t be quick. The ones who want another type of woman should have that. I feel safest and best in a long term relationship, where I can relax my guard and feel free to express affection without inhibition.
Luckily, many men seem to feel as I do and they don’t seem scared of me at all.[/quote]
Its hard to say without pictures but if you play it strictly non sexual, why would they be scared at all?
You Anglo women, you developed a Madonna-Whore complex all by yourselves.
You can be feminine, erotic even, without being inviting or appearing cheap.

Going back to this because the madonna/whore thing bugs me - I like to think I am “feminine, erotic even, without being inviting or appearing cheap.” The past several days have shown various of my home and work clothes here. They’re not burkas! My one leg is a very nice one and I display it all summer long. But although I’m friendly and outgoing to men and women alike, I don’t flirt and I don’t dress to invite sexual advance unless I’m moving toward or in a romantic thing. Then, yes, clothes are chosen for other purposes.
The main thing is that I don’t want to keep having to step around men like you, who want to run game I’m not interested in.
