#I don t wanna give you the wrong impression how to

Now my skirt was never up to my underwear line (granted that would be too short), or my school shirt so low you could see my double A M&S bra, none of these decisions were a health risk for myself or the school, the skirt was just a little bit shorter. Or that I would be too ‘distracting’ for them in a school environment. That if I wanted to roll my skirt up a bit, put a bit of cheap gloopy lip-gloss on that was free from Mizz magazine, or wear a flower clip in my hair, I would get told by my Head Teacher or a parent to change my appearance because I was giving ‘boys the wrong impression’. That’s the expression I heard countless times growing up. If I wanted to experiment with my appearance, I was told that I ‘shouldn’t give boys the wrong impression’.

It’s a lesson that women learn, not in our 20’s or 30’s but from a young age at school.

However, there seems to be far less pressure, especially from a young age, for men to meet this goal.

From watching unrealistic Disney princesses get their prince with just one kiss, reading endless glossy magazines on how to keep in shape or quick diets, buying ‘figure hugging’ clothes, or simply listening to countless love songs, we believe that men want to be with beautiful women. Since a young age, we’re conditioned into believing beauty attracts beauty.
