I once asked a lady why some women dress up over the top. The reason that came to my mind is that it’s to impress men. She told me it is to make themselves feel good. However feeling good from that angle only works if someone else appreciates that look. Women look at other women as well though so may be my thought was just a little bit off. But the point is the driver of the action is not accurate from what I previously thought.
We all have our own reasons to do something a certain way. Each reason is not always exclusive of other reasons. We should therefore be careful of judging others because of the preconceived reasons in our heads. The flow on effect of the action cannot often be fully linked to just the reason for starting.
