women's clothing

I found myself, yesterday, in a rather introspective position. However, this was not a musing over myself -- though, in a way, it was. This was, on the contrary, pondering women's clothing. What I am referring to is this: a friend of mine crossed paths with me. She's an attractive young woman who always seems to wear low-cut tops. This may not be so unusual, as she is a girl who has been well-endowed up top; but my main thought, as we talked yesterday, was the why of this choice of clothing.

I guess I always presumed women who show themselves off in such a manner - and I must say I don't think my friend is a 'show-off' - always did so due to low self-esteem. They know guys are going to look - if they offer them something to see - and thereby they do so to bolster their esteem, which is low. However, with my friend, she is anything but insecure and suffering from low self-esteem. And her parents, they are as rock solid as there can be. So I am left in a quandry. Why do women wear revealing clothes? Why do girls get up on a stage and flaunt themselves in a gratuitous manner? I don't get it.

A few weeks ago I heard of this woman on TV who was an attorney and carried a degree in psychology. Clearly no one you would view as suffering from insecurities. But her big claim to fame was posing nude and venturing into porn. I don't get it. It doesn't make any sense.
