The benefits of covering up

In relation to my previous posting, i have come up with a short list of why wearing dresses which cover up are better than revealing ones.

Now, now.. before i'm mauled by a man-eating crowd of feminisits, i'm not saying that covered/uncovered women go to heaven/hell... heck, i don't know where im going anyway. Its just a practical look at the benefits of covering thyself:

Benefit 1: Protection against scratch and bruises

We all know how women want smooth, flawless skin... or at least that what all those ads make us think anyway. But if you went out...say.. sleeveless or in the shortest of skirts, you reveal more flesh, and thus the risk of accidentaly brushing against thorns or that odd piece of rusted metal increases. This can create very unsightly gashes on your once beautiful skin. Personally, i would say jeans are good, because they are tough and they cover.


Benefit 2: Protection against the cold

Yeah, Malaysia can get quite cold, mainly in those air-conditioned rooms... and when it rains...brr.... too many times have i seen female classmates shiver and shake because they decided to wear a halter top and shorts into class... forgetting to bring a jacket. Now if they were wearing long sleeves and perhaps pants of a durable material (think jeans!) they would be warmer perhaps?


Benefit 3: Protection against the sun

Malaysia is a sunny, sunny country. Often we see a lot of girls, with their umbrellas up... when its not even raining. According to the ads, women want fair, gentle skin... something which can be spoiled by a tanning caused by too much sun exposure. So by walking around in a revealing top/bottom, you increase the skin area which is exposed to the sun's rays, which means more that your skin will get darker. If you covered up on the other hand... the skin area is less exposed and you can maintain the fair quality of your skin. Or you could bring an umbrella..those clunky things...


All in all, it is riskier to wear revealing clothes... but im not saying women should all cover up... heck... i, like most other guys... prefer it if they don't... but im just saying that there are some obvious advantages to protecting yourself against the elements.
