To be honest, I'm tired of feeling like a tramp for showing off a bit of leg.

Who said that?

My self-esteem is sh*t low and its pretty rare I feel sexy. When I'm hit on I do. And seeing as how I can't dress like that all the time

Why not?

In my opinion, it's not the outfit, it's the flirty, silly, coy yet naughty sh1te, which annoys both men AND women.

This should provide you some insight

OP I don't get why you're pissed off? Who cares if they want to dress like tarts-who exactly are they hurting? They could argue that cornflakes have even less to do with Halloween than slutty cats/vampires-at least they have something to do with the traditional idea of Halloween. I'm not the type that enjoys dressing slutty for halloween (or on regular days!) and I see your point about lack of origionality/boring costumes like this but I still don't think it's fair to hate on others if this is their idea of Halloween fun!

I come from a small town hun, I've had rumours spread about me because of the colour of my shoes, not to mind showing a bit of thigh

I don't have the confidence to endure dirty looks from people on nights out. Some are genuine, some I'm sure are in my head, but all the same it's good to know for the one night I can just wear whatever the hell I want.

I most definitely don't do the coy flirty air-head bit though :S I'm far too sarcastic for that.

Novella

I read to page 6 of this thread. Could not go any further. Fcuking hell.

FWIW Eve, I agree(ish!). I guess I just thought Halloween was about being scary, not going out in your underwear telling people, "Oh, I'm a sexy cat/nurse/vampire/whatever". I wouldn't say it grates on me, mainly because I'm not a Halloween fan so I don't particularly care, but I know if I was gonna dress up, I certainly wouldn't be prancing about in next to nothing.

Yeah its boring as hell but sometimes, I just wanna get my feckin legs out.

Respect for all the guys and gals putting time and effort into original costumes though.

If you rely on guys hitting on you to boost your self esteem, well you'll be waiting a hell of a long time to feel good about yourself!!

You need to learn to like yourself more.

I know imma go download 'sexy and I know it' and sing it at myself in the mirror :P

All jokes aside I know that's not right (and I'm an idiot for posting that in AH of all places) but such is life and atm that's how I feel atm. Don't have many female friends to share compliments with, guy friends don't do it really and my mother only ever tells me I've put on weight and I need a new hairdresser >.<

Even though I throw a dirty look to someone who wolf-whistles, I am complimented.

Do other gals (or guys for that matter) not take it as a compliment when they're hit on?

Believe me - you are miles ahead of the vast majority of girls out there.
You are aware of what you are doing, and you are aware that it is the wrong way to go about things.
Most girls are doing the exact same thing, but just don't think about why they are doing it.
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying a compliment or two every now and again!

I say fair play to you for being honest. The majority of girls I know are exactly the same. Recognising that this is how you boost yourself esteem is key, so many people are in denial about it and the vicious circle continues.

And to answer your question, I'm always flattered when someone approaches me.

FWIW Boom, I'm much the same. It's not good, but obviously many do have self esteem issues, and perhaps that's why most girls do dress like this.

Some people aren't as bothered about halloween so it's no surprise they'd go for 'boring' 'unimaginative' costumes. I find the over the top sexy thing a bit yawny too, but seriously OP, relax. I just read the thread from start to finish,and in spite of saying you mean it to be light hearted, you're the one taking it the most seriously. Putting people on ignore and takin offence all over the place.

Fair enough. You're entitled to your interpretation and reading what you want from my posts but you're wrong. I'm totally relaxed. Not losing any sleep over this. Believe me.

Edit: By the way, the ignore function is used by many users for posters that bug them in AH. I used the ignore function for people whose incorrect interpretation of the kind of person I am or how I'm feeling and feeling I have to try and convince a complete stranger of my intent and who I am. NO offence here...more getting irritated. There's a difference.

I'd be offended if there was some truth to it, but there's not.

Now I NEVER used the word tramp or even implied that. Not once. Unoriginal and boring were the words I used. NOT tramp.

WindSock

Here's a connundrum for you, OP. What if there was a sexy hot woman in an imaginative home made costume, and a less attractive woman in a boring store bought revealing pirate costume?
Which one would you be the mose jealouses of and avoid talking for the night while shooting disapproving looks and bitching bitterly to your mates behind your hand every time they walk past. Hmmm?

It's not 'wrong' either. Most people get a bit of a self esteem boost from being attractive to members of the opposite sex (or the same sex for the gheys I guess). It's perfectly natural and acceptable and you shouldn't let other people project their own personal crap onto you and make you feel like there is something not right about enjoying the attention of the opposite sex and letting it improve your confidence in yourself as a sexual being.

As I said in one of my threads, a friend of mine dressed as a sexy tiger last night (fluffy tiger ears, tail pinned to her skirt, whiskers and a nose drawn on her face). Unoriginal but I don't HATE the girl for it! Where did you get that from??

I'm not the kind of person to do that. Never was. There's your answer.

By the way, the women at the bar the other night weren't all super models. Why presume they were? In fact as I said in a previous thread, a friend of a friend who is very, very hot dressed in an imaginative sexy nurses outfit, was there and not an ounce of jealousy passed through my veins. I told her she looked great and complemented her on her costume. That's how I roll.

That's true.
One was nevertheless hoping that more people would be inclined to post sexy pictures of themselves in Hallowe'en costumes as you did elsewhere.
It would certainly have been more entertaining, no offense intended to Eve, than the colossal yet pointless bitching session it seems to have turned into instead.

Me? The pictures I posted last year? Hardly sexy...I can post one of me in the cornflakes box if ye like!

Just to add, there's probably an element of me feeling like a bit of a fool dressed up as cornflakes in a room of women dressed sexy. Like walking into a party you believed was a fancy dress theme but was, in fact, a sophisticated dinner party.

Edit: Oh you mean OTHER people, not me.

Ah come on now, don't let the dastards brag you down. There's always the muppets waiting in the sidelines and jumping in to call you bitter when they are the ones who expose themselves with the usual boring unimaginative diatribe.

They are the unimaginative, they are the bitter, don't even try to explain your position to them as they've already their minds made up. There are also some fun responses in this thread. Reply to them, disregard the bitches.

Mine was soooo boring this year.
Really could have made more of an effort.
But I had no money to buy one, and no energy to make one.
So, I was a witch
None of this slutty sexy lark for me though - my skirt went half way down my thigh :eek:

So, you liked this particular sexy outfit, even though it has nothing to do with Hallowe'en like you complained about earlier? And what made it so imaginative? You're all over the gaff, in fairness.

I'm dressing up as one of those next year. I need to whip up some sort of closed-mind costume. I might bring a few signs with me saying "Careful now" and "Bítches be hatin'". Coz you know, any girl complaining is automatically jealous/ugly/lonely/bitter/sewer monkey :P

I'm mildly torn on the boring costume thing. Yes it is obviously dull, bland and banal. I can see why somebody wearing a quirky, original costume might feel like a goon in a room full of sexy cats and witches. But sometimes you have no time to make something original and need to get something to do the job. Hopefully next year I have definite plans in advance and do something a bit better than this years pathetic attempt.

I've no problem at all with girls dressing sexily (being a straight man, seeing boobs, legs, stomachs and ass will always gladden my heart!). But a bit of imagination or something mildly different from the crowd is nice to see.

I understand that and I get that. Fair enough. I spent 7 or 8 hours on mine. Slightly excessive perhaps.

And I've no problem with women showing these things and like to show them myself (and HAVE to show them myself as I live in a hot country...It's a matter of survival). Most women like to look sexy (whatever that means to them) on occasion and I get that but I'm really talking about a specific kind of sexy costume and it just seemed to be more prevalent than normal at this particular party.

I just believe if you have a chance once a year to be creative and do something you can't do on a normal day (go to work dressed as Lloyd Grossman....even a sexy Lloyd Grossman....at least it's funny), then you should cease it. I suppose I don't understand how it's always men who do and women less so.

Tis a shame.

Just in case you think I was saying it, I wasn't implying you think there is anything wrong with girls dressing sexily. I know you don't have an issue with it! I tried to cover all parts of the shít storm the idiotic responses your your post caused...so I briefly covered everything and left half my thoughts out!

Like I said, the kind of costumes you are complaining are boring and bland. But my point was more tongue in cheek that if I see boobs or legs, I will not immediately complain. But seeing something creative or funny is ten times better. I see sexy girls every weekend, I don't see really creative costumes every weekend.

I understand that and I get that. Fair enough. I spent 7 or 8 hours on mine. Slightly excessive perhaps.

I'd have no issue spending 7 or 8 hours on a costume. Only reason I didn't this year was because I was sick all week and wasn't sure if I was heading out until the day itself. I say kudos to the creative.

Anyway, to steal Windsock's awesome phrase (I steal phrases, it's my thing!), don't let the dastards brag you down. I'll try and use sewer monkey phrase in its entirety next time. Maybe I'll dress up as a hideous sewer monkey from hell next year.

I'd never known of this ignore function until now, but your description is wonderful, ignore the people who disagree with you on a discussion board...so you only want to see the replies that agree. Do you also put your fingers in years and sing lalala when someone says soemthing you don't like? Get your head out of the sand OP, and at least acknowledge how you appear to some people.

Just an FYI to Dearg and Miss Olenska, this was the intent of Windsock with the post that you agreed with. Windsock agree with me and she meant tongue-in-cheek. By agreeing with her original post which you took seriously, you believe I'm jealous and bitchy. To make those kinds of judgements about me without even knowing me and ganging up on me like that, says more about you then me, I'm afraid.
