LadyM, you're entitled to your opinions, but I want to say I respectfully disagree that a woman who dresses sexy has no respect for herself. I think we're conditioned to judge this way, but I think a woman can genuinely like her body and like sex and feel comfortable showing it off. That said, I do think most women who dress too sexy (and "too sexy" is defined differently by different people) do have low self-esteem and are seeking attention. I don't think people who are "seeking attention" should be ignored, as you often hear about children ("She's just looking for attention!"), because even if she's going about it the wrong way, maybe there's a good reason she has this need. But that's an aside. The reason I think most women who dress very provocatively and jump into bed quickly have low self-esteem, is simply because of people I've known, things I've read, and things I've seen. Again, I don't think it's true of all women, but I think it's true of most. I don't see a woman dressed sexy and automatically think, "That girl has no self esteem." Most girls and women (even those who dress modestly) don't like how they look. A study quoted by Dove (I don't recall if they did it, or someone else did it) said that only 2% of women call themselves pretty. Look at the ads, the media, the movies, the TV shows, and merchandise aimed at girls and women. We're told we all have to look a certain way, or we're not as good as others.

I also don't like the word "slut," because men aren't judged with such harshness as women. Calling a man a slut doesn't really have the same effect, and society needs to view men and women equally, so while a few people being of the mind that men are just as bad (or not bad) for sleeping with a woman on the first date as the woman, we need to get society to accept that, or women will continue to be judged and sometimes lose out on opportunities because of these judgements. Men can sleep around and they get treated just fine, even called "studs" and "players," and women are just sluts. They're shut out of groups, whereas the men are still welcome.
