Do you have a "pulling" outfit?

    I was browsing Facebook with a friend of mine the other day when I remarked that a girl she knows had a nice top on, in a photo.
    She replied "Ohh yes, that's her pulling top. It makes her boobs look great, so she used to wear it whenever she wanted to score someone."

    With this in mind, do you have a particular outfit you like to wear out, to snare the preferred sex? Do you have a certain item of clothing that's brought you good luck?

    I don't think I've ever had a pulling outfit at all. I just wear what I think looks good, get a second opinion from some friends then head out! I'd be interested to see if many people consciously have a set outfit, or item of clothing, that they know impresses or "works on" their preferred sex.

    As long as I am NOT wearing a shirt and I am feeling confident I am likely to score.

    Rarely do I score when wearing a shirt. I am more a Shorts and T-shirt all year round type of guy anyway!!!

    ahhh so odd me and my mate were talking about this a while ago

    I don't have one.I love wearing something new :)

    I do find any kind of boots or a pencil skirt wind up getting me quite a bit of attention tho :) Was out with my BF on Friday night got come onto about 5 times convinced it was the boots he was mighty impressed!

    Like yourself OP I wear what suits me and always get a second opinion.

    I used to have a friend who had a "pulling dress" it was horrible and in the several times I went out with her in this pyjama like dress she never pulled!!

    I was going to say 'something décolleté all the way'. But I complained in another thread about men talking to my breasts, so I can't. :p

    Me too, actually.

    Men seem to be total suckers for knee-high boots. I have a few pairs, wear them with jeans, as a casual going out outfit.

    Me and pulling dont really go together so I always wear what im comfortable in ie. nothing with a collar.Ive a weirdly long neck so they make me feel kinda confined :confused:

    Classic!
    I actually rarely want to show off cleavage on a night out, they just ... come out to play! It's very annoying. I think I'm one of these people who'd have cleavage in a hoodie. I can't hide the damn things!

    Nahh....I dress for myself. Which is probably evident by the state of me.
    Shiney makes me happy :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,355 ✭✭✭dyl10


    Call me weird, but what a girl is wearing isn't/hasn't really ever been anything close to a deciding factor for me, on a night out.

    As long as it's not god awful, you're probably on to a winner ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    I don't exactly have a 'pulling outfit' but I dress pretty sharp going out (and in general, as much as I can) cos I like to feel like I'm looking well. When I'm going on dates etc though, I generally ask my boss (slash best mate) what she reckons I should wear. She always chooses the same 3 outfits (1 geek-chic and 2 that show off my 'pecs' :P) and I'm generally happy enough with her decisions! When in doubt, I just ask my sister.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    I used to but I don't anymore. And it wasn't really much of a variation on my regular clothes, was just skinny jeans with knee-highs then my usual-- a nice top and a leather jacket.

    Now I just go out in my usual clothes, which is generally a pair of (sometimes ripped) jeans and a pair of converse hi-tops. Works for me.

    Wearing a bikini with hair tossed out on the beach, poolside, or in a beach bar generally works for me. Also, that sporty look in shorts, half-T with tummy showing, ball cap, shades, and pony.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,791 ✭✭✭ash23


    If I wear mismatched, ill fitting grey undies and don't shave my legs or get my bikini line done I always score!!!!

    Bloody sods law.

    I even said it a few weeks ago. Said to my friend "I'm wearing magic knickers and haven't shaved my legs. I'm bound to pull" and sure enough........He didn't seem to care though!

    You're female, if you want to score it generally doesn't matter how you look.

    True
    With men im pretty sure its somethin to do with all your looks,all your personality and how the stars align from jupiters southern pole on that night

    Totally. love the type that tracvel up just below the knees. Short skirt and black stockings. Yum yum!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,160 ✭✭✭✭banshee_bones


    uhh i dont know, its usually the sods law thing that works for me, Its always that one night where your probably not dressed up because a) it was only supposed to be ONE quiet drink or b) you end up when you were NOT planning to atall! and of course it will be that one night your hair isnt perfectly straightened, you havent shaved your legs and its laundry day! :P

    However.... I do have a black dress,when paired with my black red or deal metal heeled stilletos...well it always worked on one guy in the past and in general generated a lot of turned heads :pac:

    That happened me recently. I went for one drink in jeans, ugg boots and a black cardigan, ended up hooking up with someone! I was pretty impressed with myself, I looked dreadful! :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,791 ✭✭✭ash23


    I think the sods law one is because I'm not trying. I pull on a pair of woolly tights, a dress and knee hight boots and I'm happy enough with how I look. But because I'm wearing manky pants and hairy bits I amn't trying to score a guy so I'm being normal and having a laugh with my friends as opposed to scanning the room, checking out guys and flicking my hair lol.

    And therefore I am more approachable/ attractive? I don't know. Thats my theory anyway! :D

    2 things, about this.

    A) Pretty women can score no matter how they look.

    B) The Very casual look is brilliant and very much loved when everyone else looks done up to the nines. It gives the air of the girl not being very high maintainence and is just in general. Hot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 644 ✭✭✭Mackleton


    I've no specific items per se but generally skirts and dresses have a much higher pull rate than say jeans and a nice top. That said I've pulled, like pika, in some very casual stuff when I wasn't even supposed to be out. It somehow takes pressure off guys I think, you're not done up to the nines and looking for attention and compliments and he's not as intimidated.

    Pulling outfit?

    Everything I wear is a pulling outfit.;)

    Seriously though. I try to dress well all the time but I would make extra effort if going to a club. Strangely though, I could genuinely count on my fingers the amount of times Ive pulled in a club.

    I either dress poorly, or am an ugly mofo, probably a female dismaying combination.

    I find it very hard to pull in clubs because the music is faaaaaaar too loud for any sort of non ear spitting conversation and everything is so crowded and fast paced.

    I find it much easier to pull in a nice moderately busy pub.

    So, um... in short, No, I dont have a pulling outfit.

    I was never more surprised than by that night. I usually get quite dressed up to go out, so it was nice to find that in my very casual day gear, people still thought I was attractive :)

    I'm not really into getting all dressed up and heading out "on the pull". I mean, a short dress or skirt and high heels is the general girl going out uniform. I've no interest in being out, freezing cold and in shoes I can barely walk in and which are hurting my feet.

    If I'm going out, I'm going out because I want to have fun. I might wear a dress some nights but it won't be because I wanna flash my legs in the hope some guy will think I'm hot. I'll wear a dress if I like a dress. I'll more than likely wear tights too, this is Ireland afterall!

    The last night I went out, I wore an over-sized, baggy t-shirt. I wasn't wearing anything tight or revealing but I was happy and comfortable and having a good time and I think that kinda vibe radiates. Tbh, I'd much rather spend my time with a girl who was up for a laugh than one who was off to the bathroom every fifteen minutes to check her lipstick wasn't on her teeth!

    That's just me though! I don't dress provactively for guys (when I'm out) because I don't feel comfortable doing so and I just don't have a good time. If a guy doesn't like me because I'm in jeans, I don't care! So yeah, I don't have a pulling outfit. I just wear whatever I want, wherever I want.

    What do the guys here think: Do you prefer a girl to be dressed more casually on a night out? Is it less intimidating to approach a girl who's dressed in this way?

    I'd actually be less likely to approach a girl dressed super casual cos I'd reason that she's probably toning it down for the exact purpose of not attracting too much attention....


    That said, in general, I don't find anything sexier on a girl than casual clothes. Don't get me wrong, a nice dress and some cleavage is lovely. But gimme a girl in jeans and flats and I'm set. On the street, the girls I notice most are the ones dressed in sweat pants and a hoody. Makes me think "She's hot shít without tryin. Awesome." Also, I like people who don't take themselves overly serious so this kinda shows that too....

    TBH it doesnt really matter too much to me how theyre dressed if im gonna approach them or not.
    Being a coward in these situations means im not gonna approach full stop :pac:

    If you don't have it in your head that night to approach women, you're fcuked!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭grenache


    I like a girl who dresses well but with class. A nice top with jeans will always catch my eye. Dont have any time for the types who go around in ultra short skirts/dresses and caked to the hilt in fake tan. Its disgusting and very off-putting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Nope. But I do like to dress up some bit when I go out. I have a particular love for 1960s inspired clothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    No. But I am never out to score. I hate scoring random lads in a club/party/whatever. If there is someone I like that I'm after I just dress a bit nicer than usual I guess.


    And when i go out I usually dress exactly as I do in the day. Most of the time at home I'm just in my work uniform. And in Cork I'd wear a casual enough dress. Never wear high shoes. Rarely wear skirts/dresses with bare legs. I like to look nice but not...exposed. But I've no problem with anyone that does dress like that, just not me!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,160 ✭✭✭✭banshee_bones


    That happened me recently. I went for one drink in jeans, ugg boots and a black cardigan, ended up hooking up with someone! I was pretty impressed with myself, I looked dreadful! :P

    +1 one of the hottest guys i have ever scored was a night I had to run straight from work to go out, was wearing jeans flats and a simply pink jumper barely any make up, hair was a little curled from getting caught in the rain and boom! Even to this day I still cant get my head around it tbh!

    this could also be part of it.

    In general i dont dress up because heels kill me, every time! and i find it hard to find nice "girly" stuff in shops so i go for the dresses with leggings and cardigans things a lot or the jeans and going out top gig! comfort for me every time, i think when your uncomfortable in your shoes/clothes you will be more self concious and you will be so preoccupied with it that it will show!
