Why do some girls wear revealing clothing if they're dating?

I understand some guys like their women showing off their body, but what about the guys who don't like that? Now i understand the usual saying "you can't control a human being" but what if you talk to your partner and they still prefer to show off their body.

i understand some women believe "if i have a nice body i want to show it off to the world" and some do it to feel good about themselves, but if you're dating shouldn't the opinion of the man you're with matter the most? If you're single i understand showing off your nice body to grab the attention of others. But if you're dating and showing it off us guys get the opinion of

1.) she has a nice body

2.) she looking for some attention

3.) that man is lucky to be with her

a lot of girls thing guys don't think that but... as a guy with male friends i can confirm we think those things.

also i know most shirts are made to show cleavage for women show their breast can breathe, but if the guy you love ask, not demand, you to not show so much cleavage wouldnt it be best for you to take it into consideration and maybe show less? or not wear short shorts? etc

Update:

also if anyone is wondering why i'm asking is because, a girl who we both care for each other deeply was taught by her mom "if you have a nice body than show it off" and she told me her mom bought her small clothing, small bathing suits (all these clothing she currently own), her nipples even poke out her bathing suit ._. and i'm like why if my opinion should only matter?

its almost like me working out getting in shape to just wear muscle shirts or no shirt at all on hot summer days.

    Hmm, good question.

    I'm pretty sure you've heard the expression "look good, feel good"; I think that applies to almost all matters, especially for women. Really it boils down to what their perception of feeling good is, and for some, that's showing cleavage to everyone, or even just their possible soulmate just to keep them interested sexually. You could then obliquely deduce that person probably doesn't have an intellect to stimulate them in other ways; can't entertain a thought. So basically, this is their way of expression their low self-esteem. And, if attempt to deprive them of the only thing that's making them feel good about themselves, you're basically making them feel that have nothing special to show anyone anymore. I'm pretty sure you have something you take pride in.

    Actually, your opinion doesn't matter at all in this case. If you understand the concept "you can't control a human being" then why are you trying to control her? You're not her owner.

    Has it ever occurred to you that women wear the clothes they do because THEY like them, and THEY feel comfortable in them? If a girl likes herself in more revealing clothing and feels at her best in shorter things, then that's what she'll wear. And if she's doing it for some attention? Well that's how she likes it.

    And I'm sorry you 'understand' some women have trouble breathing in tighter, non-cleavage showing shirts but you still feel you have the right to ASK HER TO SACRIFICE HER ABILITY TO BREATHE SO THAT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE SHE SHOWS HER CHEST TO?

    And you're trying to say that only your opinion should matter? Some guy? Not her mother's?? You've got some serious issues man.

    Let me put it to you this way. When you're dating, the opinion that should matter most is YOUR OWN. When you're married, YOUR OWN opinion should matter the most too. Sure, people should think about what their partner has to say but you're asking about something personal like clothing that has nothing to do with you.

    what about telling your man to wear peepers like ahorse so he doesnt ogle every second woman on the street who is wearing little or should it be that gf covers up and the man is ok looking at all the other women who dont cover up
