So, my great and funky people.

I am returned from a trombone social function - good times are had by all (it's still going on, even though I'm not) The dress code was "Dress to Impress", and I'll say that everyone did a fine job of that. Mind you, while I was there, as well as conversing, I was trying to turn something over in my head and not getting anywhere over it. The Question revolves around the fact that there were several styles of dress among the women who were there. And all the women there (that I'm at least thinking of) were very attractive in their choice of dress.

Figured out what doesn't compute yet? I'm trying to wrap around my head how so many different styles of clothing, in dresses, in tops and pants, etc. can all still produce the same effect. Maybe it's because in all of them, one attractive thing stays constant, but I don't know. Maybe when I wake up, it will make more sense.

Instead, be distracted by Inflatable Animals and more subversive life-art possibilities. Keep it all under quantum crypto so that people don't intercept it.

Me? Bed. Have to bake some garlic bread before lunch with some parts of the family.

I think the answer might be this...

You're strait (or at least attracted to women) and that particularly young women are generally attractive in whatever they wear when they decide it's time to impress the Men-Folk.

OR!

You are currently so horny you'd have it off with a garden gnome if it wore a skirt and called you Big Daddy.

Ya know, which ever answer causes more offense.

It'll be hard for you to explain because most of the process by which you split the groups into attractive and unattractive subgroups and then proceed to evaluate the attractivenes of the attractive ones is heavily subconscious. There's a lot of things you pick up without realising it - body proportions and language, pheromones and so on - that influence your decision before you consciously start to evaluate attire, although dress can influence the perception of some of these.

I'll take one as your answer because two doesn't fit. And because one is the generally more useless answer. So what? There's got to be more to it than just that.

that's what they're there for...

I'm not always sure there is. Men find women attractive (for the most part) and when they dress to impress they rarely miss the mark. With young people it gets wound up in hormones and breeding urges and stuff as well.

Also it might just be that you were mentally filtering out anyone who wasn't really attractive. Not on pourpose, just memory wise the good looking ones came to mind.

Everything in life is just icky chemicals squirted at one point or another. Don't worry, just enjoy the view.

Soo...

So, if you'll let me be a bit crude here, if I think that they would be attractive without clothes on, then the way they're dressed only brings that out enough that I think about it consciously?

[silveradept]

No worries there, view will be enjoyed, especially since many of those girls have boyfriends.

Yes, I was filtering there, but the main point of my query was that I found such a variety of dress styles that were attractive on their respective people. So is it just a matter of the attractive ones knowing what looked good on them?

[greyweirdo.livejournal.com]

I will say that a good outfit can bump an average girl into the hot range, but then some people it doesn't matter.
I think it's partially knowing what looks good and partially that on somepeople anything looks good. I would have to have seen the young ladies in question to judge more acuratly.

Well, they may have pictures around. They're members of the trombone section, so if you looked in the right places, you could probably find them.
