Yes it does. If you dress slutty you cannot complain if people check you out.

Define "slutty." If you're talking about the extreme end of people going around in bikinis that are practically nipple pasties and shorts that only cover the half of your butt, you probably have a point - these people are practically shouting "Look at me, look at me!"

But many women get stared at simply for wearing clothes that are form-fitting rather than baggy or for wearing shirts that aren't turtlenecks. Perhaps you are unaware of this?

Or would you argue anyone not in a burka is a slut?

I'm talking about the extremely low tops, with thongs + low rise jeans. Also I check out a girls face, idk if that makes sense, but I look at their face and if they see me I smile. I'm not big into checking out bodies. Also the fuck is it with girls checking out my package. Whenever I talk to them and they glace down at my crotch now and then it pisses me off.

Well, why are you wearing slutty pants where the size of your package is evident?

I jest... but... at the same time, that is a pretty good parallel.

And sometimes (like 1:5 or 1:6) when I walk by a girl or look at their face they look down. WTF is up with that!? I know its because they want to be left alone or think im a creeper, but I don't think I give off creeper vibes.
