It seems to me a lot of this has to be female-female signaling as proposed. Most men do not seem to care what I'm wearing, and would probably prefer it was 'nothing'. I have NEVER had a guy bring up something I'm wearing unless it was clearly being used as an opening for chatting me up.
I assume 'chatting me up' is being used here to mean something involving dating? An internet search for the expression just turned up synonyms for "making conversation", which wouldn't make sense in context.
Curious... where are you from?
ETA: thanks to anonym below.
In that case, it seems odd to me that guys you know never bring up anything you're wearing. Do you have many male friends? Maybe this is a cultural thing, or am I the 'odd one out' here?
"Chatting me up" == "hitting on me". It's a British colloquialism.
Thanks! I'm a student of the British language, but I'm hardly fluent.
I'm residing in the northwest USA. Pretty much all of my friends are males. No, literally all of them.
