Travel Tip for Women: Don't Wear Short Skirts

While traveling a woman needs to be aware of the way she is dressed. Appropriateness of clothing varies from country to country, but by following a few restrictions she is less likely to get unwanted attention.

The fact of the matter is that the majority of the world thinks white western women are sex objects. They think we want sex all the time, we are easy to get into bed, and we have loose morals. The media all over the world portrays us in this manner, so of course every horny boy worldwide is going to target us pale skinned beauties.

The problem is, much of the time traveling girls do not really do much to sway this stereotype. I have seen girls in halter tops in Hindu India, girls with short skirts in Muslim Morocco, and girls in booty shorts in Catholic Central America. These sexy clothes may not be the best wear if in countries with stricter moral codes.

At home in America these clothes are normal, and no one even thinks twice about wearing them. Abroad, it is a little different. Yes many countries have a hot climate, but that doesn’t mean you should flounce about naked.

In India I knew an American girl who always wore skirts, but did not know how to keep her legs closed. I would glance over and always see her panties sticking out, no matter how long the skirt was. We would be in the company of all types of Indian men, but she just couldn’t keep her legs closed. She wondered why she was grabbed by Indian men so often. Plain and simply, she was showing them her vagina half the time. Indian men really do believe that western women just want to have sex all the time and will have sex with whoever asks them. The best thing to do is to dress like an Indian woman, or at least cover all of your body parts, including stomach, shoulders, and legs. It is common decency.

In Costa Rica a fellow female student was having a lot of trouble because of unwanted attention from the local boys. Cat-calling, whistling, and hooting is normal here. Every boy you walk passed on the street will make some sort of noise at you. As she was explaining to me her difficulties while sitting on the couch I looked down to see a very distracting sight. She was wearing shorts so short that I could see her vagina. She wore shorts everyday. Everyday her shorts were too short. Everyday boys were hitting on her. There was an obvious correlation between her rear hanging out and the boys’ comments. This is common sense. Cover your vagina.

The best thing however is not to engage boys when they start yelling. The girl with the short shorts decided one day to yell back at the boys who hit on her with her vagina hanging out. The boys of course got angry. The boys yelled back, calling her a slut, and followed her down the street in their car, threatening her. They thought she wanted the attention. Prostitutes wear sexy clothes to get attention. Girls dress up to get attention. Do not yell back at the boys. This is stupid. Do not wear revealing clothes if you do not want attention. This is stupid.

Obviously, in our Politically correct American suburban world we have forgotten about the implication of clothes. If you were revealing clothes you are trying to attract males. If you are wearing revealing clothes you want the attention of males. Remember this. It is important. Don’t be stupid. If you are getting too much attention, put more clothes on.
