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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
