I don't know what title to use.

My weekend was slightly different than others. My friend had just come back from her summer vacation and was moving into a new place. She asked me to hang out and follow her while she bought some things for her new place. Of course, being that I have being somewhat stressed all summer, this was a good request. Don't worry, there's nothing interesting about this side of the story.

Saturday:
She asked me to hang out with her while she checked her classes/rooms, etc. I said sure. Normally she would come pick me up, but I told her we should meet somewhere instead. I was in the mood to ride my bicycle. It was HOT! I hadn't gone outside when I made the decision, because had I known, I would have made her come pick me up instead. However, I decided to wear shorts this day. Like those running kinds above mid-thigh. I haven't worn shorts to walk on the road before. The only other times I remember wearing shorts were for a stage performance, and at the beach that looked like a river.

Anyway, I decided to dress like the people in my community. Shorts and a very casual and laid-back t-shirt with canvas, abi sneakers; whatever you people call it. The t-shirt is the type you get for free at a concert or after and event. On the other hand, my friend decided to wear jeans and a really pretty top with sandals. She immediately commented on my dressing. She's like 'I've never seen you dress this way before' and I'm like, me neither. She then let out several sighs that she dressed the way she did cause I liked dressing up and she didn't want to just be in t-shirts and shorts, and I'm like I dressed the way I am because she likes wearing t-shirts and shorts, and I didn't want to look over-dressed.

This was a very funny situation. We laughed excessively. I told her I don't like wearing shorts because aside from the fact that I'm not really comfortable walking around in them, but also because it causes unnecessary attention from men/guys. Just there and then, a couple of guys confirmed what I meant. I also told her that I didn't want to cause anyone to sin <----in other words, lust.


Of course, there are different types of shorts. I wear shorts, don't get me wrong -in the house, around the house, etc. I'm not saying my body is perfect oh, in fact, far from it. I don't like it when guys stare at me. It makes me really, really uncomfortable. I don't mean a casual look, but you know, those kinds? If you're a girl, I'm sure you've received them before and if you're a guy, you've probably given them before.


Today, my question is, if you're a female, what makes you dress the way you do? If you wear a top that exposes half of your breast and you complain that people are staring at you, then that's really weird. The flesh is weak. The truth is that if I saw a girl dress that way, I would also stare secretively, lol. I'm not a lesbian, I promise.

Although, some people are just perverted and are not necessarily affected by the flesh being weak, but just need a lot of help in regards to that. Meaning, even if you cover your entire body, they still come after you in a very perverted way. Hey, I like looking good oh, in fact, I like looking very good, but I don't like doing it at the expense of my body. There's a limit to the shortness, tightness and exposures I can wear.


Who knows, maybe I don't wear shorts because of my multicolored body, or perhaps because of my 'less than' Halley Berry body. Lol. All in all, I'm just wondering why we dress the way we do, we all must have our reasons to wear certain things.

Hmm, this was seriously not the aim of this post. I wanted to talk about my entire, weekend especially the guy I met on Sunday. Oh well...I should really get back to my Biology...
