So I was talking to one of my guy friends the other night at the bar. We were talking about girls who dress up or don't for classes. He said, "You know what guys think of girls who dont dress up right? That they are taken."
I find it really hard to believe that people even notice or think about that while going to class.
I wonder if that's true. I don't see the point honestly because I'm not really thinking about picking up a date while I'm having a hard enough time satying awake to pay attention to the information.

Ha! It doesn't surprise me to be honest. I watch guys in class and wonder the same thing. (Then again, I use it to keep me awake so I DO hear the informaion.) That said, there could be some truth to what your friend told you. Yes, in general, girls will dress up a bit, but once we are settled in a relationship we let our looks slide. It's because we are comfortable kowing that he's there and we aren't looking to impress anyone. Guys notice that, and the basis for assumptions is formed. I'll be honest, my parents told me as I grew up that I needed to go to college to get an education and to find a husband who could take care of me. I guess subconsciously I keep that in the back of my mind, which could explain why I don't find it abnormal to be "surveying the options" in class...
hmmm... that is one thing that I have made sure I do not do.. let my looks slide because of having a bf. And I would not want to be a in relationship with a guy that did not take care of himself.
And I am not talking about wearing nice clothes, but good hygeine and exercise.
I know I pay attention to how people are put together.. but most of the time its their hygeine I look at. We cant help that we pay attention to how people look, its in our nature.
I find that suprising, but at the same time not because by not caring what you look like then someone might think then that you have no need to impress anyone else because you're already taken. I just find it intersting that guys would take that view, because I know when I get dressed to go to class it is all about comfort and it is irrelevant whether or not Im in a relationship.
I think this is true. I don't think that it is that women are trying to find a date, its is more about feeling confident about themselves. When a girl has a boyfriend he is there giving her compliments and helping her feel confident that she becomes comfortable not dressing up all the time. I'm not saying that all girls who do not dress up are taken or that girls need guys to make them feel confident. I am saying that when we do not have someone encouraging us and making us feel good, we are going to do it ourselves and what better way than to dress up.
I would have to agree some what. I know when i am in a relationship i don't care as much about looking good at school because i'm not looking to find someone. But also i really don't care about dressing up for class in general because i'm there to learn and not win a fashion contest. However, there are those days when dressing up just makes me feel better. I guess it depends on my mood but i can definitely see why your friend thinks that!
I actually care not only what guys think about my clothes but also what females think, too. I guess I don't want to wear like pajamas not because I want guys attention but because I don't want people to look down me. I care because my repetition might look bad. So, dressing up only when you go to club or have some drink does not make sense to me.
I agree with shortbread. I believe that people whether they are male or female notice people who dress up or present themselves nicely. I feel like you should dress for the job you want so just because you are in college does not mean you get to not care what you look like and dress for comfort. There many clothing options that are comfortable but look put together. Even when you are in class you could run into someone who could be your network into a job. Society judges everyone. They judge on appearance whether we like it or not. Dressing put together is part of the real world so I just feel like in college you should not slack off on your image. I don't like the fact that society judges men and women like this but it is one of the keys to success. Just a thought to ponder. So the fact that society judges on appearance is probably part of the reason guys in classes notice these things.
