my girlfriend wears some clothing that bothers me. she has a very nice body, and its cool that she is comfortable with showing it off... but it bugs me that she likes the attention from other guys and all. how do i let her know that some of the stuff she wears (low tank tops / shirts, short shorts, etc) bothers me without sounding too much like a jealous control freak?

HollyAnn2282 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 5:18 pm: alright thats a tough one. Just tell her be like Hey ya know I love the fact that you have a nice body but it bothers me that guys are always talking about the clothing you wear (they might not but you can say that) Just let her know that it bothers you, maybe she can comfort you and tell you how she feels... Just be as nice as possible even though she might blow up on you!
good luck!

Siren_Cytherea answered Thursday July 22 2004, 4:48 pm: You've gotta speak up when things bother you. Miscommunication (or no communication) kills a LOT of relationships.
Just explain to her that it kind of bothers you a little that she wears these clothes, and seems to like the attention that she's getting from other guys. Remind her that you're not jealous, nor are you trying to be a control freak, but it just bothers you a little.
She may lash out and bitch at you for "trying to control her," but keep your cool. one of my exes accused me of flirting with other guys while we were dating, and I didn't realize I was even doing it until he pointed it out. I went "oops...sorry." and stopped. She may just need it pointed out to her.
I hope I helped!

kevin1986 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 3:51 pm: You don't. If you say that,then she'll say,"You can't control me. You're not my father." Then you'll be labeled as a controlling bastard. Harsh,huh? Well it's the truth. Women hate being told what to do. Don't be bothered by this as long as she's not doing anything with the other guys. Sounds like she's just a tease,which pisses guys off.

queenbee answered Thursday July 22 2004, 3:27 pm: You can't control what she wears, period. What you can do is try to find out why she feels the need to dress trashy, maybe she needs some positive attention from you or maybe she likes having guys look at her. Either way, when you find out why she is doing it you will learn more than just flat out telling her not to. If all else fails than you can tell her she looks fat in those trashy clothes it may make her dress differently but it would also be a blow to her self-esteem so I guess it just depends on how important her clothes are to you and your relationship.

jbdreamer answered Thursday July 22 2004, 3:23 pm: Tell her the truth, that it makes you feel jealous when you see other guys checking her out, and that her clothing attracks that attention. Maybe she will take what you say to heart. Although, you can't change who she is. She shouldn't have to change the way she dresses just because she has a boyfriend. Just trust that she won't decive you, and stay happy in the fact that you have a beautiful girfriend. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]

Hotblonde123 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 3:22 pm: hmmm. Well im not to sure that you can actually tell her that you dont like it without soundin like that but we can give it a shot. Just tell her that she does have a very nice body but you dont really like some of the clothes that she wears cause u feel like she doesnt care about u just about all the other guys that are lookin at her. I am sorry if i didnt help but i tried.
