*Disclaimer- I was definitely still drunk while writing this post, but I find the rambling tone somewhat amusing, so I’m leaving it as is- unedited*

I had an intriguing comment tonight from someone I know casually, an acquaintance by way of friends. Somehow, we ended up together out with a group of friends, and I was fascinated by his honesty.

One thing he noticed, that I’m not necessarily conscious of but that apparently men pay attention to is that my strategy of emphasizing the positive works- just not on my ideal subject. He is friends with an ex, who I was always dressing for when I went to meet him and his friends, and apparently it worked.

I went out in a men’s white shirt topped by a black corset- far less risqué than other nights for sure, but it got attention. He made a joke of still mentioning my cleavage, and brought up that he had always been intimidated by my comfort with my sexuality, partially demonstrated by my décor.

I never realized how much men paid attention to fashion. I actually thought, fairly covered in a men’s shirt, corset, pants and heels that I wouldn’t attract as much attention as scantily clad women. Apparently, the hint of sexuality implied by mixing something unexpected with business appropriate attire was enough.
