You think she's attractive? I'd have to disagree. Her face is completely average.

In that case, maybe it is the outfit. I can't see the face well enough in this pic to make a judgment.

Looking good together is important. Both physical attractiveness and style play a part in that.

I find this amusing given your avatar. Which is still titillating.

It's Dita von Teese anyway, and my girlfriend turned me on to her.


Who is disrespecting women? We're just saying that they should dress well.

What about my avatar? Is it not titillating?

A lot of comments in this thread are seriously ridiculous. This one was the worst:

That being said, my girlfriend's style is important to me. But I think we play off of each other, and we are both inspirations for each other's style.

This is a very bad distillation of style, notably women's style.

Look at something by Cristobal Balenciaga. It's unsexy yet very stylish and chic. Someone once wrote that chic before the era of Halston meant that there was no sexual appeal involved.

As long as he doesn't have a problem with what I wear, he can wear what he wants (except for women's clothing).

Depends on the occasion. I usually don't mind, and she hasn't let me down so far.

This certainly reflects the prevailing attitude on this forum. Men's "style" is filled with rules that often risk seeming pedantic. I believe there is far more ample room for artistic creation and beauty in women's clothing.
