The lack of self respect - and clothes

One thing I've noticed here in Dublin is the way people (girls) dress when they are going out - Or perhaps I should say NOT dress. Girls here seem to have forgotten that sometimes less is more, and just take everything possible off instead. I was so shocked the first time I went for a night out here, and realised none of the girls had any clothes on. I was wearing a t-shirts, shorts and my converse while everyone around me had the tiniest tiniest dresses on, all sparkly and ass-showing. To that they all wore heels as high as me and their hair were all messed up. On purpose though, as if they were trying to compensate their non-existing sparkly dresses with some morning hair, to look a bit more casual. Or they might just be going for the 'after sex hair', aka knullruffs in Sweden, to make the boys aware that they are 'sexable'.

Of course girls in Sweden dress up before heading out as well, although that is the keyword: dress up, not undress. Well sure, by the definition of dressing up the skirts get a bit shorter and the heels a bit higher, but at least you could actually walk in them. I can't even count how many girls I've seen here, bumbling around in their heels, shaky, unable to lift their feet in the right order. Then the short (non-existing) dresses don't help very much, since they curl up at the bottom, fall down at the top and show all their most sacred parts.

Actually a few days ago I saw a girl crew coming out of a taxi and entering a club, without any jackets. In 98939572 inch heels and just hot pants, with a top covering only their boobs. The worst part is that it was 0 degrees outside... It is very interesting, really. I can't really imagine what goes through these girls heads when they stand in front of the mirror before leaving the house, in only underwear. I would love to know though, I would really love to hear from one of these many many many Irish girls what the purpose if it is. To get laid? To get attention? To get a cold?

What is even more interesting is that the guys here seem so used to the girls lack of clothes that they don't even acknowledge it. For a bit of fun I watched a couple of these girls wobbling down the street a few night ago, and the reaction they got from men passing - which was zero. If a girl in Sweden would go dressed in only a bra-ish top and hot pants in the middle of December she would probably get raped or picked up by the police and everyone passing would stare until their eyes popped out.

It just screams of insecurity and a lack of self respect.
