I resent the fact that Ginger stated that women post 60's are stupid. Did she include herself? I also resent people who cannot accept that others are able to march to their own beat. Why do people accuse women who do not base their whole reason for living on pleasing a man, on not being able to get one? Why do people assume that when a woman says that she does not need a man, it translate to "I can't get one"? I also resent anyone who criticizes any female who likes to wear babydoll dresses. I say to each his own. If you like it, fine. I personally don't like babydoll dresses. I have never worn one. I have never worn makeup for myself nor a man. When I met my husband I did not have on sexy clothes. I did not have on makeup. My body was lean and attractive. Guess what? It is not so lean now. Yet, my husband and many other men still find me attractive. We have been married for 23 years. Since I have been married, don't think that other men are no longer attracted to me. Since then, I have had many men attracted to me. The men and some women think that I am sexy. Do I dress sexy? No! Do I dress to impress? Yes! I dress to impress myself. When I choose my wardrobe it is for me. If my husband or society does not like it. That is their opinion and they are entitled to it. I do not have to answer or alter what I wear because of it. If my husband and others like it that is a bonus. When my daughter met her boyfriend she did not have on makeup and she was "tore up from the floor up" He thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. It was not because of her appearance. It was because of her positive attitude about herself. The boy thought that she would not even like him because he was not sexy or cute.
Why do people think that if one chooses not to succumb to a majority consensus, it some how indicates jealousy? Beauty may be what attracts. Brains is what will keep it together. There is more to life than dressing for a "man" There is more to life than sex alone.

Actually, I was shopping this weekend and I overheard two sales women in a department store talking about all the babydoll tops that they're carrying. They said a woman in her 60's had complained that everything she was trying on made her look pregnant, and she's too old to look pregnant.

I've had the same problem with my 12-year-old daughter. She goes into Wet Seal or Dillard's and whatever she tries on makes her lool like she's about to become a teen mother. I know that the babydoll look is comfortable and I suppose it's cute - on a woman who's about five months along.

WHO CARES! This is all a bunch of NONSENSE! With all the problems in the world today, what difference does it make what you wear or who notices it? Be happy you have something to wear, be thankful!

Some of the comments reinforced what I was just saying to a friend of mine the other day. As long as women are willing to alter their bodies, their faces, their personalities, act like they have no brains, and dress for a man just to CATCH or KEEP a man, they will never be respected and treated as equals by men. Additionally, if you are using your body and your clothing to attract a man, GOOD luck keeping him when things start to drop. But..wait..there is always plastic surgery, lipsuction, starvation, etc., so just keep demeaning and cutting away at yourselves, ladies. I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end (and in case you didn't "catch" the sarcasm there, THAT was SARCASM. At any rate, I am assuming most of the women who posted comments in support of altering what we wear to please a man are either young and "dumb" or older and insecure about WHO they are as a person. I have been young and thin and had no trouble attracting a man, regardless of what I wore. I am now middle aged and not thin, and i still have no trouble attracting a man, no matter what I wear. The only DIFFERENCE is the QUALITY of the men I attract. Instead of attracting shallow men who are only interested in a tight body and a "good time", the men I attract now are only interested in 'ME"! And believe me...it feels a lot better to KNOW the man you are with wants you for WHO you are; not what you look like!

THE BABYDOLL DRESS MAY NOT BE ATTRACTIVE TO A MAN THAT HAS A THING FOR A WOMAN'S BUTT....BUT IT CAN BE VERY ATTRACTIVE TO A MAN THAT HAS A THING FOR WOMEN'S BREASTS....IM A SIZE 36D AND WHEN I WEAR A DRESS LIKE THIS MEN JUST CANT STOP LOOKING...IT IS VERY BUST ENHANCING...IM NOT SUPER SKINNY AND USUALLY WEAR A SIZE 10/12...BUT IM ALL CURVES WITH AN HOURGLASS SHAPE...WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS WOULDNT A MAN RATHER SEE THE GOOD ASSETS A WOMAN HAS RATHER THAN A TIGHT PAIR OF JEANS THAT WILL ACCENTUATE THE BUTT BUT END UP GIVING YOU WAIST ROLLS BECAUSE THEY ARE WAYY TOO TIGHT....DRESS TO FLATTER YOUR BODY..NOT SOMEONE ELSES.....P.S......MEN NEED TO DO THIS TOO!!

Pregnant women are not attractive when they shove that huge uterus/belly in your face. It's a biological function that we can't change. Better for us if we could lay an egg. However, the babydoll dress does have advantages like ease of access (to get that baby-gestating tummy going) and, on a reasonably fit woman, can stimulate the imagination as to what's underneath that.

i weigh 95 pounds and live in baby doll tops and dresses. if a man thinks i look fat in these, he can go fly a kite!!! this is hands down the most ridiculous article i have ever read!! way to go!!

Here is an idea - a personality can outweigh a babydoll dress. My husband likes that look, so I guess I'm lucky. I'd rather see a happy confident girl full of personality and a dress that makes you not sure if she's got a good body or not, than a stick skinny girl with it ALL out there. No mystery....

OH and Lauren, I'm gonna guess you are single, and probably staying that way if you are so concerned with what "boys" like....how about what YOU like? If you like it and are comfortable in it, you will exude confidence and THAT attracts guys - even if you wore a burlap bag...

Wasn't the baby doll created by a gay man who hates women?
Hmmmmmm.

"I like ass," he says. "I like all types of asses and a pair of jeans that really contours to it. I'm not going to hate on baby-dolls, but nothing beats a good ass."

UGH AND WHO WANTS TO DATE THAT GUY???? No one with any self esteem!

How can a woman write an article that can truthfully say what a man thinks? There is more to a woman than just fashion. I like baby doll dresses. I also like jeans, shirts, etc. It's not the clothes, it's what's inside. I'd rather be with a woman that has some sense.

Interesting reading,these posts. I agree with Christina, if a babydoll dress is worn correctly, it will show off your assets. This is not a style for all body types, just as short shorts or mini skirts are not for everyone. I am a conservative dresser, tend to buy classic styles, and I think if an outfit fits correctly, it will look sexy, no what ever your size is. And speaking of style disasters, nothing looks more disgusting or sleazy than a pair of low slung pants, muffin topped waist,and the straps of a thong hanging out of your pants.

I am a 41 year old mother of 3 who honestly would not wear a baby doll dress. I put them on my 5 year old, but not even on my 11 year old. I just don't find them attractive. They make everyone look pregnant. No there is nothing wrong with being pregnant, I've done it twice...and frankly never felt sexier in my life than I did when I was visibly pregnant! But, looking pregnant when you're not is really not an appealing look.

I do believe in dressing to be attractive, for yourself...and I happen to like to dress in ways that are attractive to men. What is wrong with that? Women say they want a man who wants them for who they are, but frankly you first have to get his attention (and men are VERY visual) to get the conversation STARTED for him to FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE! But do remember one thing, KNOWING you are sexy (don't confuse that with conceit) is really the sexiest thing you can wear for anyone! The men who have gotten to know me describe me as smart, fun, sexy, sensual, and just plain hot...depending on who you ask.

Quit burning your bras and get some gorgeous ones with matching panties...no one may ever see them but you, but they're for ATTITUDE because ATTITUDE is everything! I am far from conceited, I am not "hot" physically after 3 kids (not to me anyway) but I do know I have a lot to offer a partner and therefore have the attention of some very good male friends.

One day I may want more than a friend, and am sure it will not be difficult to get a date becasue I love men, and respect their preferences as well instead of bashing them for honesty.

You are an asshole. Even if you are a woman, you are still an ashole

Men do not like anything,but their own needs: like their big ford f-150,which makes me sick! macho scum bags.

This is soooooo sad! Who is this chick who is so desperate for male attention that she would waste her time on this bs. If a guy likes you...he likes you. If he just wants to sleep with you...does it really matter what you wear???? This lady is setting us back about 100 years.

Sorry ladies, but the author is absolutely correct. Me and the men I know hate (not just dislike) the "Baby Doll Dress." They are the most unflattering thing you throw over your body. And as for you men haters that say you don't dress for men, calm down, I have always been willing to wear clothes that my lady likes. It's just fabric, if you can please your partner, Why not.
Peace!

Shannon, Who are you calling asshole? Watch your mouth,even if you are a woman also.
