Most men prefer decent wives

EVERY man is different, and so are his preferences. While some men prefer women in modest clothes because they reveal a confident woman who knows how to let her body speak for them, others prefer women in mini-skirts and dresses with provocative cleavages.

If you ask some men what they would like to see on a woman, they may likely answer, "nothing," on a humorous note. But on a serious note, men always admire clothing that accentuates the female shape, lines which complement the contours of a woman's frame, revealing to the eyes a truly feminine form.

They do not only notice what women are wearing but also draw conclusions about a woman from the way she dresses. Then what is it that men actually want to see their wives and girlfriends wearing?

"A man likes a woman to look hot if she is his girlfriend, cute if she is his sister, graceful if she is his mother and appealing if she is his wife. Men know best how a woman needs to dress because man fantasise about women all the time," said an anonymous 45-year-old.

But in modern times clothing revealing too much have been a controversial issue between couples. Should husbands have a say in how their wives dress?

One prominent businessman said there should be a difference between a wife and a girlfriend. He said a wife should dress with respect even when going out.

"I want my wife to always be presentable as she is the mother of my children, and my girlfriend can dress which ever way, because I do not have control over her, and the truth of the matter is we are just having fun nothing serious", he said.

"I have never told my wife not to dress in a certain way. I find it silly. I consider my wife an equal adult and if she decides to wear something (regardless of how much skin it shows) then I respect her decision because if she deemed it appropriate and I don't think she would intentionally wear something she did feel was inappropriate. I could give her feedback if she wants it, but in no way do I impose," said John

A man identified as TR said: "A girlfriend should dress the part, something I would not expect from my wife, I certainly do not have a problem if my girlfriend walks in a backless top and shorts similarly like how she should be adventurous in bed than my wife who would want to keep it simple."

On the contrary while some men find it eye catching that their girlfriends dress in revealing clothes some find that as selling oneself short.

"Personally I see it as a turn off if a girl feels like she has to parade herself around in skimpy clothing to get attention. It's selling yourself as a person. I personally like girls who are confident in who they are as a person, and those kind of girls don't feel like they have to flaunt their bodies to have value," said John.
