How do you handle when you experience unnecessary stares when you wear short clothes/dresses?

Just smile and keep doing what I am doing.

I never wear anything that short in public. My shorter dresses are reserved for whoever I’m dating when they come over.

I don't usually dress in such a way that people stare at me; I try to avoid drawing attention to myself. But in the rare times I have, I just try to ignore them while dying of anxiety on the inside.

I just give them a glare and they usually get the message.

As long as they don't get inside my safe zone I don't care.. Beyond that my PSOs take care of the perverts. Simple

I tell my wife I'll clean them before putting them away 😁

In public I'm always well covered - so no problem.
