Do girls look more respectable in a dress?

I'm not sure why a woman's attire is relevant to respect level deserved.

Clothes/dresses don't earn respect.....people do. 😒

It depends on the outfit in the person wearing it.

As opposed to what? Nothing? Pants? Bikini? Knickers? Big Bird costume?

Respectable? Like having authority? No. If they are wearing business attire or some kind of uniform then they are more respectable. If they are wearing a dress they look more feminine.

"Respectable"?

Um, what does this mean? If the answer to the question is yes, then: When I wear jeans, people don't "respect" me (or not as much), but when I wear a dress, people do?

Why, exactly? What's different about *me* in a dress versus *me* in jeans, such that one gets - and deserves? - more "respect" than the other?

Seriously, what *is* this "respect" thing, and what does it mean? How am *I* any different in any way that really matters?

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me,

A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me,

Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin' (just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of foolin' (just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit)
(re, re, re, re) 'spect
When you come home (re, re, re ,re)
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)

Aw, man... How could I forget... Of course I had to go listen to it:

A couple interesting things, though:

I had no idea the original version - the base of this, Aretha's re-imagination of it - was written by Otis Redding. Cool.

Also, I don't know that I've *ever* seen Aretha in any sort of pants, let alone jeans.

Wow. Pretty close to right. This is the only video I could find of her in something other than a dress.

I was going to say that if she ever appeared in anything that wasn't a dress, it was probably something so slinky and shiny or sequiny that it might as well be a dress... And there you have it.

I only did a Google search and hit Images, and didn't really see anything but dresses. I like your method better. It's always good to actually listen to her.

More interesting than Jeans or pants suit. Not mentioning names.

Less respectable, it whether this is good, bad, or irrelevant depends on the setting.

I don't know if "respectable" is the right word. I do like the look of women in dresses though.

Hillary Clinton for example. Did she look more respectable in dresses? I don't think so.

Are those pics real or photo shopped?

I've always wondered why HRC doesn't wear any dresses, but that looks kind of fake to me.

This is real. She was a lot younger but toucan still see she has thick legs.

Yes, that one I believe. Thanks! I don't remember ever seeing her in a dress! And now, seeing the difference in her weight overall between the two pics, it makes the more recent one more believable.

Maybe those pantsuits had nothing to do with feminism. She was just protecting all of us! Lol
