Has this forum become a gay club? You people are weird.

Girls are happy to spend £25 of their OWN money on this on ebay, which proves what I said is true.
Not just true but bleedin obvious to people in the real world.

People get up to all sorts of fantasy shit in the privacy of the bedroom. I had a girlfriend years ago when I was a younger guy who liked the idea of being raped by an old business type guy. I even wore a suit for her a couple of times to act things out - go figure. It didn't do much for me - though her level of stimulation did..

She had no desire to be raped in real life.

I had a girlfriend who'd get off on me doing the housework, cooking, ironing her work clothes, paying the tent on time.... shit like that. Takes all sorts i suppose.

Nothing wrong with sexy clothing in itself, but it's a bit dodgy when it is done for commercial necessity...

Interesting, my ex also got majorly off on 'rape' games... then again, that's the lady who made my life hellish because she wanted her boyfriend to beat her like her dad did her mom... she even borrowed a motto from Stephen King's It : "First the whuppin', then the fuckin'."... I never gave in to this violence thing, and I'm pretty sure in contributed to my eventually getting dumped.

Never had a really violent girl friend. When I was 15 my 18 year old girl friend used to love ripping my back with her nails. I never minded as it impressed the guys in the rugby team.

First post on new page syndrome. My post was in response to Tyrannical's about women enjoying wearing maid's outfits. I guess my point was 'what happens in the bedroom' isn't real life.

The lady in question incidentally didn't want me to assault her in any way - just force her. A fine line and not one I wasn't always comfortable with.

She was however the most erotically charged woman I have ever had a longish term relationship with. Happy days.

Oh - and she dumped me too.

That was my post, not Tyrannical's. Anyway, that's an odd notion that bedroom action isn't real life.
There wouldn't be much real life without it.
In any case, most of that stuff would be bought to wear on hen nights and fancy dress parties. It would be pretty tame for the bedroom.
It doesn't matter too much what the women wear, the point is that female bar staff have always been recruited for their looks. The men are generally the big spenders on drink, and they will definitely choose a venue with sexy young girls working there.
The clothes aren't really all that important, it's the attractiveness of the women that really counts.
The clothes are really to massage the egos of the male punters, and make them feel like big shots.

This is a pic of my girlfriend in the 80s in her nightclub gear. She liked the job and liked the gear, so did the other girls.

In my experience, good looking girls quite like wearing a sexy waitress uniform, but there's a point where it quickly becomes over the top.
I've had a couple of girlfriends who used to work in the local nightclubs, and they looked stunning in the waitress gear, and obviously liked the attention.
But stick a pair of bunny ears and a tail on it, and the same thing looks a bit sad and humiliating.
'Good looking girls like wearing sexy a waitress uniform'?? I am puzzled by what sort of world you inhabit.

However for once I will agree with you completely - about the last line.
I don't know, restaurants requiring sexy uniforms are a small minority of restaurants in general, yet women choose to work there when they can work at other restaurants. Some work at Hooters and Twin Peaks, some work at Chilis and Cheddars and Olive Garden, and the million other restaurants around town. I'm not sure why someone would wear an outfit at a job like that if they felt bad about it. It's not like they pay more.

LOL - legalized prostitution is fine, but legalized "wearing t-shirts and short pants while working at a restaurant" is just terrible.

Some women do like to dress sexy, both in the bedroom and in the "real world." You do make a fair point. One example is with Halloween costumes. Here in the US, the majority of costumes women want for Halloween festivities seem to be some iteration of "sexy _______." Whatever the costume, it's look hot in. Not that there's anything wrong with that....

...but, on second thought, it's probably not what they really want. It's probably a function of the patriarchy imposing some sort of improper norms which they are unable to resist.

In restaurants, the question of tipping comes into the equation.
I hate tipping, but I'm more tempted if the service includes a close up of some big tits in a tight blouse :
