Why Your Girlfriend's Outfit Shouldn't Make You Feel Insecure

A turtleneck can come off just as fast as a crop top.

Why Your Girlfriend's Outfit Shouldn't Make You Feel Insecure
Beyond Talk

This one is going to be short, folks. It’s more of a PSA than an article, but it is important you read it anyway. The last few weeks I have had at least five conversations with guys who have had a problem with what their wife or girlfriend is wearing out of the house. Here were the main complaints:

Too Revealing

Most felt that the outfits their women were wearing were a bit "too revealing." They thought she was dressed too provocative or that the outfit was inappropriate for anyone’s eyes but their own. Sure, that may be a fair assessment for them to feel that way. But guys! Look at it from her point of view. She’s looking in the mirror at that "provocative" outfit thinking, “I look good, I feel confident, and I feel sexy." All women have a right to dress as they wish. Just because you may feel insecure in the relationship, doesn't mean she has to filter what she wants to wear.

What She Wears Attracts Other Men

Look, fellas. It's true that other guys may feel the need to say something to a beautiful girl. Right or wrong, it probably will still happen. But remember this: If she’s loyal, she’s loyal. She can take a turtleneck off as fast as a crop top and a nun dress still unzips in the back, big fella. If your girl wants to cheat on you she will and the outfit she does it in won’t make a difference. Let her feel confident, let her feel powerful as a woman and tell her she looks amazing instead of questioning her motives.

It all boils down to the fact that women have a right to feel sexy in whatever clothing they choose to wear! You should be happy that other men find your girlfriend or wife attractive to notice. As long as the behavior doesn't get demeaning, inappropriate or out-of-hand in any way, I think it can be a healthy reminder that you have something you should hang on to.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
