Why do guys seem to hate it when a girl dresses the way she wants?

Because it transforms her from an object to a real human with agency.

I would assume it often is about their wanting to be controlling

For those who do, it stinks of controlling behavior and red flags. 🚩

Control

I would need more details to know exactly the situation that you are talking about... but I can only give you the closest answer I can think of.


I prefer when a girl dresses casual and relaxed, because I like being casual and relaxed.

I'm not a huge fan of when she gets all dolled up, to look amazing at some party, as she already looks amazing to me, and doesn't need all the fake dolled up stuff, or the fancy dress...

And as an introvert, I know that when she gets all dolled and dressed up, that means we're going to some party or night on the town that I probably don't prefer... and I'm going to have to interact with people that I rather not interact with, while other men are staring at, getting interesting in or talking about my lady, and wanting to take her home with them.

Not to mention the costs involved for a party or night on the town.

So it has nothing to do with the way she's dressing, but all the other events, people and costs that come with it.

Maybe they feel that controlling her attire is a fair compromise for her not being totally naked.

I'm not sure what you mean; most women know how to present themselves well, and seeing a gal dress as she wants to shows her tastes / individuality. Everything from how she does her hair and makeup, to jewelry and other accessories, tells a story about her.

She is telling the world something about herself through this.

I guess it depends on if her choices align with his likes. If he likes you to dress a little provocative, and you choose to dress a little proactive, then he should be thrilled. If he wants you to dress provocative and you insist on dressing, conservatively, I can see it becoming a mismatch

Depends on how you dress!
I accept how females dress unless it’s really inappropriate
I have seen females dressed outlandish but still interesting
It’s a question of taste and class

Didn't know guys did, but I suppose it depends on the particular guys sense of style and the woman's choices.

Depends I guess, how does she want to dress?

And what is his relationship to her?

They get jelly of other dudes checking you out

Different tastes I'm guessing...

Well, its none of their business.

i LOVE the way YOu dress

Well how is she dressing you have to be more specific than that

I am not like that... probably you meet only men that want to control you!

me like to see them undress.

Who cares what they think

Maybe your with the wrong guys

Dress as you want 👍

i never understood that

I don't

You’re hanging with the wrong guys

Depends on the guy. Not everyone is compatible.

Not all guys like Soda

Because gay guys like to look prettier than girls.
