Should I approach a female as if she is a lady if she is dressed like this?

Yes

Nope. I've never worn a Police Uniform but I'd expect people to assume that I was one if were to wear it to the scene of a car accident or bank robbery.

Actually that's what you keyed in on as you are the one defending your posture. The keyword is EXPECT as in having an accepted understanding of how I will be received, no matter how accurate or inaccurate, by people at the car accident. What do you think is the accepted understanding that these females have of their reception at the club based on how they are dressed?

Does it matter?!? They obviously don't care so why should anyone else be concerned. Besides, this issue goes deeper than what meets the eye. It's a about RESPECT. Whether that PERSON has it for themselves or not, is not the point.

For one I'm black. And I also have braids.

Yeah, because the people I've received a bad initial reaction from (pretty much older adults) thought I was an idiot. Which is definately not the case at all. And people have been really surprised at how I actually am once I actually hold a convo with them. But... you didn't answer my question :-) . Would you treat and/or have the same amount of respect for those men?

Who's not answering questions now? For the course of conversation your opinion is what I'm interested. If you are gonna get dismissive at this point in the discussion just bow out. I'm actually trying to get an understanding of a females perception of a few things. It gets more difficult when y'all get all combative.

Which is what I've been asking for a while.

Exactly. And are there differing levels of respect?

But should I treat them better than they treat themselves?

key thing to look for: what are you talking about !! Does it matter?!? usually when you use an exclamation point it involves raising of the voice... :arrow:

umm okay :???: just roll with the bunches But anyway, treat people how you want to be treated. I've made several valid points in this thread. How come you're still asking the same question?
