I wouldn't be formulating thoughts on her based on what she was wearing (that she's loose or whatever), but my first impression would be that she lacks good judgement if she's wearing that to recruitment (or a job interview or a formal) where the situation calls for modest dress no matter what message you might like to send.
Also, I think you often have to take into account: 1) I'm out of mom & dad's house and I can dress however I want 2) I was a geek in HS, now I'm exploring another side of myself. (My first boyfriend thought I was way easier than I was because I wore very short shorts [actually I think it was more a matter of I was outgrowing them than them being purposely short, and because I have long legs]. Ha ha ha, was he wrong!!)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you have to make out with another girl to get a guy's attention...you are super duper uber lame and need to get a life. You should only be making out with a girl if you want to make out with a girl, regardless of who's watching. I personally would have no problem with the other two, because I don't mind porn in the least, and because, well, I finally have a rack.

I guess what I'm also trying to say is, don't underestimate women's exhibitionism. There are lots of girls who LOVE showing off and many don't want to admit it, and say "ooooh, I just did it to turn Jason on. I really don't like that sort of thing." My pledge sister said once that her favorite fantasy was to be a Playboy centerfold. I think a lot of women have that same fantasy...they just don't have the guts to admit it...and I loved that she did.

I really agree with what you said here. There's this crazy idea that women can not want to look and feel sexy for themselves. Why can't we? If I had a great body, you're damn right I'd wear somewhat revealing clothing. Not all the time, just when it's appropriate. Women should be free to admit things like wanting to be a Playboy centerfold, or any sexy/sexual fantasy they may have without being judged as a slut or whore. It's the 21st century yet we are still very stifled in this sense.

Perfectly possible, if not probable.

^^^^I wouldn't go that far but it used to be my secret ambition to be a Hooters girl. It's not anymore but they always looked like they had so much fun. I once asked a friend where I could find that type of self-confidence and without missing a beat, she said "Wal-Mart in the back aisle at $5.99"

I think I'm just getting old

I've been doing a ton of research on the sex industry lately, seeing if/when I can do something to help young victims of trafficking...so my perspective is very skewed. Than and having picked up Mary Pipher's Reviving Ophelia at a Goodwill not too long ago!

If they are doing it for themselves, more power to them!
