Title: Red will get you attention.
Post by: iKate on June 19, 2015, 03:14:50 PM
Today I wore a red and black dress.

And usually nobody notices me when I wear other stuff. But today? Nooooo no no.

I have gotten guys trying to chat me up. The security guards at work tried to make small talk. Everyone tried to talk to me. I am nervous about talking, cause... my voice! OMG

I actually did see an experiment on TV (forgot the name of the show) where they had the same woman wear two dresses. One black and one red. The red one by far got more attention. They were saying it's how we're wired in that red is a color that triggers men to be attracted to women.

Anyone experienced this?

I tend to wear shades of red, pink and rose a lot because the colors looks good on me. Don't really notice if I get that much more attention due to it or not. Men are usually pretty nice to me at work and I really don't interact with them much beyond that other than the stray one at Lowes or whatever that actually try to pick me up, the perverts...
