Is it bad to wear tight clothes?

Answer 1

Hm, "bad." Bad is a subjective term. There is no clearly qualitative aspects to it. Bad is a moral argument, and no two moral rulers are the same.

Let's try an objective analysis. There are three potential reasons for wearing any type of clothes: 1). shelter 2). fashion 3). comfort.

Let's deal with the first and last first. As far as shelter, any clothing that protects you from the elements is satisfactory; it does its job. Now comfort. Some people claim to feel more comfortable in tight, form fitting clothing. Assuming this is not equivocation, any clothing that satisfies the wearer's desire for comfort has done its job.

Now, fashion. This gets a bit more complicated. Anyone who wears clothes for the fashion sense it communicates, does so because she wants others to look at her and appreciate that fashion sense she possesses. She who wears tight clothing to make a fashion sense wants others to look at her and appreciate her other attributes, the physical, observable ones.

Take a trip with me now. We're going to pass down the road a ways, past the suburbs, past the orchards, and big grain fields, deep Into the Woods to a crossroad. At this crossroad is a set of stop signs. Through each of these stop signs, there are several very visible and noticeable holes, holes made by guns. The signs for someone have represented an opportunity at target practice.

Stay with me now; we're going to turn around and head back. We'll take the freeway now so the trip isn't so long and boring. There, at the side of the highway, that big sign, the one advertising Pecan Logs from Stuckey's, or a Big Mac from McDonald's. Notice them? Sure you do; why else hang up advertisements, signs? They're meant for people to look at. For people to want what they offer.

You're asking yourself now, "Where the heck is he going with this?" Simple.

If you hang up a sign, someone is going to shoot at it, or look at it and want what it advertises. A metaphor if you will.

When you wear tight clothes, you are advertising. You may not believe you are, but you unarguably are.

Think about not only what you do before you do it, but the effect it may have as well.
