I know this is a huge generalization to make, but just look generally at the difference a woman who has been married for years dresses when she is out with her husband, or a woman whose focus is very much on her career, vs. a single woman. The way a woman dresses is telling of her receptiveness to or awareness of the man/men in her life.
Reine, thanks for that comment. My SO and daughter both contend that women dress to impress other women including makeup, hair etc.

I would contend that women usually dress to impress other women BUT when they wear the extremes: short skirts, high spikey heels, tight or revealing dresses, then they are trying for male attention. As a GM, I'll tell you we need to be hit over the head to pay attention to fashion details - the extremely seductive stuff hits us over the head - doh.
