MRI brain scans provide concrete evidence that wearing sexy clothing triggers a greater focus on a women’s sexual body parts and decreases the focus on her personality and competencies. These brain patterns confirm that men see sexually dressed women in ways that resemble object recognition rather than person recognition. As a result, they mentally respond to them as they would respond to an object—evaluating their appearance and usefulness—but not their personality, individuality, or other personal characteristics

Why does it matter...?

If a person is absorbed by thoughts about your body, that person will not -- and indeed, cannot --give full attention to your personality or abilities since the part of the brain that recognizes your agency is not functioning.

Have you ever experienced a time when a male companion or cohort seemed to have trouble focusing on the discussion? What were you wearing?
