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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
