I would much rather prefer to be recognized by my deeds than the appearance of my clothing.
However, I really think that sometimes what you wear or what your appearance is shows what you do and your attitude towards it.
According to the OP's post,
but I find it easier to respect a woman that dresses like she should be respected.
On the body option, if a ridiculously obese woman was walking on the street, would you judge? I would. Yes, MAYBE she has genetic problems or some kind of illness, but I mean what are the chances that EVERY obese person you see is fat because they can't do anything about it? If people who don't have any significance want respect, they must at least show that they are worthy. I mean, if you don't even respect yourself, why the FUCK should I respect you?
Same thing for clothing, if some females don't even respect themselves, why should I? If you think this is sexist, think again. You see girls wearing a mini-skirt with panties showing right out, put that in a men's situation, it's like somebody's walking on the street with speedos. Personally, I would find it extremely difficult to respect a person walking on the street having their scrotum swinging around half-visibly.
And I don't think I need to say much for deeds. I would say it's not rocket science to tell what a person is like from what they do.
