Sites to find pictures of real women clothed -- Sorry, Rev!

[Javakoala]

I know this may be an odd subject but here we go.

I love women. Short, tall, heavy, thin, plain, heavenly, long hair, short hair, some older, some younger (than myself)...so I basically love the gender, though I do have my limits. I have a girlfriend that I love more than anything, so I'm not looking to find someone to replace her (no one can), but I have always found the female forms, in all its variations, to be intriguing, wonderful, inspiring and appealing. When I sketch, I usually sketch women due to the curves and flow of their bodies and features. And, I guess not so surprisingly, I like women's fashions. Not for wearing, but the seemingly infinite variety of clothes, colors, styles, patterns and combinations that are out there. Maybe I was a woman's woman in a previous life. Who knows?

While I have no problem with unclothed women, I find images of clothed women to be more interesting. It not only allows for some guesswork at what is under them, but it also tells you a lot about how that woman sees herself and what image she is trying to express.

Anyway, after that big lead-in, I find it difficult to find good sites to find images of clothed real women. You can find models in various fashions, but that is staged. Finding images that are closer to snapshots is what I'm referring to. I have found a few places, and some people here may find them interesting. By no means do I intend for anything in this thread to insult or offend, so if you happen to go to these links and feel they are out of line, tell me directly and I will edit the post to remove them.

And the key here is this: We are talking LINKS for sites of clothed photos. They can be swimwear, lingerie, street clothes, formal wear, etc. They can be very revealing or even daring, but nothing nude. PLEASE, do not post or link photos here. Andrew doesn't need the heartache and trouble. Just the links to websites similar to these:

Hot or Not  It's kinda cheesy, but it's been around for a long time, and if the person has a MEET ME page, they may have other photos of themselves, sometimes RADICALLY different than the one they want you to rate.

Hot or Not, Part 2  A German version, I think, of the same thing, but it has a different layout and it allows for members to post HUGE numbers of images of themselves, which is perfect for the digital camera/phone crowd.

Rate.ee  Yes, you are reading that right.  It is a site somewhat like Facebook in Estonia. The upside is you can go in an have it search for people who have 1 to 10 images on their main page as well as select the age range and gender. If you don't have a translation app on your web browser, it can make for a very educational experience with another language. I think I wouldn't mind learning the language, which seems like a mix of Swedish, Russian (without the odd lettering) and German.  I actually recognize some words and phrases after going there.

Facebook  It is like internet crack for some people with all of its apps and games. But people will post tons of images of themselves, sometimes doing the stupidest stuff, so it can be a hoot.

Pick The Hottie  Similar to Hot Or Not, but it is purely a "game". You get two images (men, women, couples) and you pick which one you think is hotter than the other. If you register, you have more "game" options and you can stockpile points for correct choices and for winning streaks. No money is involved here.

Those are just a few I have found. They may have things that are racy, but never anything nude. Well, Facebook sometimes lets things slip through, but...oh well.

Anyone else have similar sites they frequent and could recommend?

By the way, I am in no way attempting to advertise for any of these sites.

I have no problem with clothed women, but real women... yeech.  

(Other than the hotties on this site, of course.)

Time to whip this pic out...

When it is two guys talking, NEVER say you are going to whip ANYTHING out.  I feel more soiled than vindicated.

As far as clothed women go, to me, there was never a sight more beautiful than Princess Diana in an evening gown. She was beauty and poetry in motion.

Cut me some slack: I had to unclog a drain this morning. The building would've been flooded if I didn't do that so I deserve some spandex time, ermmmm...... I mean some down time.

Java,
I got to sort of agree.  Long long ago on a night out iwith my buds we started at a nudie bar, then ended up at some regular clubs and bars.  The women in the regular bars were so much more interesting to me.   

Now, following, real,  clothed women around with cameras tends to get you sprayed with pepper spray.  Be warned!

Oh, and Java, you could always browse the dating sites for that kind of thing, I guess.  Some are free to join.

I find the usual look of desperation in their eyes to be rather off-putting. And when you try to talk to them, they act picky.

But thanks for the suggestion.

And as for the Spandex site, very, very interesting stuff there.  Thanks!
