Why are girls/teens Halloween costumes so revealing?

Today a friend and I went to this store called Halloween Express to see what we wanted to be for Halloween, the WHOLE back wall was dedicated to womans/teen's costumes. I promise you every single costume was revealing, and there must of been over 200 costumes on that wall. Even the most innocent theme was turned into something bad. We're both 18 and we both could pull something like that off, but it's just not our thing lol, but how did the real meaning of Halloween turn to "dress up like a whore day" lol? Why do girls want to prance around in those little costumes, how is that even appealing? I don't understand lol

    well, I'm not gonna say that I NEVER dress "whore-ish" but I do have self respect, and my goal in life is not to dress like a whore every day, unlike many other girls. I dont understand the whole halloween thing either. At school girls idea of a costume is mouse ears, the SHORTEST skirt possible, with a low cut belly button top, OR a pink tutu with no leggings, and the tutu doesn't hide your ***, with some fairy wings. It's ridicoulous. I agree. It's not appealing, it's just embarrasing, and disrespecting yourself.

    Easy as my friend has told me once before and I even heard it mentioned in that mean girls movie, halloween for teen girls and some women is known as the only "official" holiday out of the year where you can get away with being slutty and nobody will criticize you because nearly everyone is doing about the same thing as you are. I don't particularly go for it myself, but as I figure it, when costumes go from creative to actual s-l-u-t wear, then you know you are too old to be trick or treating. Best thing for you and your friend to do is pain each other's face's and take younger siblings or cousins around trick or treating or pass out candy. Because unless both of you can sew pretty well, you won't find any really decent costumes out there for ya.

    I totally understand, I used to think that it was supposed to be for fun, and just dress up and have fun, but now they're changing it. I see some teenage girls on Halloween, they want to show off the most they want for whoever's watching. In my opinion, I think that there are other ways to get guys! But that's their way. It's stupid and pointless. But you're right about it. Try shopping at another store like Walmart or something, they have appropriate costumes. Good luck.

    Little girls want to dress up like whores for the same reason that big girls want to dress up like whores. They shouldn't be allowed to, but there are a lot of bad parents out there.

    you are sooo right! every year i have to add some sort of something to my costumes so i dont look like a whore, i think its just some excuse the whores came up with so that it would be "ok" to dress like a whore for one night

    Thank the idiotic media for letting Halloween for 14+ year olds turn in "dress like a slut" day!

    Besides, the 14-22 year old guys like that.

    So, if I were you, just make a statement and don't do it. Just dress up like, I don't know, a student?

    Now a days i can't seem to find a decent costume. Either the dress is really short or reveals too much. I really HATE it!

    They can create a new identity just for one day, where it is more socially acceptable to dress more whorish
