Maybe she's sending a message and maybe she just likes to dress that way because she's comfortable with it.

I don't feel the way someone dresses necessarily means they're sending out a hidden message. It could just be their style and what they like.

If she's the topic of conversation between family members, why doesn't someone from the family just ask her? I would much rather a family member come out and ask me something that they wonder about than talk about me behind my back. If they asked me, I could respect them for coming to me and I'd answer them honestly or if I felt it was none of their businss, I would tell them so. If I found out I was the topic of conversation, they would no longer have me around very often to talk about.

Sorry, but I think it's rude and disrespectful to make someone a topic of conversation behind that person's back.

I don't really see any non-verbal message, seems to me thats the style that most all women that age are wearing.

Leather, you're not being disrespectful, you don't know the whole story. She is also a drug addict and a habitual lier like casey anthony although there is no chance she could harm her kids because the state took them away from her. I just wanted to see what people had for preconceived ideas concerning the attire of others. Hugs!

I think you already know the answer to this. She's being sexually provocative. A woman showing lots of skin is going to invoke sexual feelings in others.

There was a great study done where the researchers interviewed and photographed women going into nightclubs. The interview included questions about where they were in their menstrual cycle. The photographs were then analyzed to determine how much skin they were showing. Whether they were single or not, the ones showing the most skin were ovulating. This pretty well confirms that dressing provocatively says "f*** me".

But we all know this, right?

Now the innteresting question here is why she is doing this 24x7. That's the story to look at.

is hard to say, she could want attention. some people are less inhibited that others. personally i am not comfortable going out dressing this way. i feel self conscious even if i wear a push up bra but probably noone notices! i wouldnt say its the standard way of dressing for women that age though. But some people are more comfortable revealing more skin that others.

i think you feel more sexual when yr ovulating. But Satcom why would you go out wearing hardly anything if you had a really heavy period....that would be v uncomfortable and a bit iffy if you ask me...i guess you dont really know the answer to that tho...

What can I say? She's sending out the message "fuck me" (?).

Or "will fuck for drugs" (?).

Sorry, you asked.

@Pattern

Ovulation occurs mid-cycle, about ten days before your period. A whole bunch of stuff happens to a woman at that time. Her skin changes, her voice changes, her sense of smell increases, the kind of guy she's attracted to changes, and even her breasts change so as to be more symmetrical. It's all about attracting a partner and hooking up; one of the things is dressing more provocatively.

ok Satcom, from now on I will come to you for advice for my female sexual issues

Bob... could be many things. I agree with Leather... someone that cares should ask. She may want attention... she may want you guys to talk about her... she may be wantiing help and not just for the way she is dressing, you say she is into drugs well the dressing may be her way of getting someone to open up dialog. Or maybe she just dont care and likes to feel sexy, I personally cannot dress sexy around my brothers. Growing up dad would not even allow spaghetti straps or short pants above the knee. No..Im not 90 lol only 49.. but dad was strict. jmo

Interesting comments here! Satcom, I would love to read that study you refered to.

Thankyou everyone for your comments. I think I will make an effort to speak to her next time I see her, just to see what happens.

If you are interested in this stuff, here are some good, and fun resources:

I disagree with Satcom.

Her choice in clothes alone does not say anything about her. I wear tight jeans and fitted shirts. I am going to be doing a photoshoot where I'll have no clothes on.

But that does NOT mean I am screaming "come fuck me"

I think it depends on the persons morals and values.
