The women wear (or suggested/encouraged to wear) skimpy clothes so that the men are attracted to watch the activity these women participate in. It is no coincidence that the men can equally effectively compete with more clothes on. The women probably choose to wear skimpy clothes to gain that marketing edge and sell themselves at a good price. That is it! The men donot have to wear such skimpy clothes because they look attractive with more clothes on. Or shall I say, if the men looked more attractive or they could draw public attention (that translates to more handsome personal financial gains) in skimpy dresses they would also be encouraged/made to wear it.

The girls and women will get more respect and will be able to perform better if they are not spending their time tugging at their clothing so they don't flash the fans. Males have performed for many years with much more clothing than the females and have never had a problem with too much material slowing them down.

I should have added I'm heterosexual. I say that because if a guy wears something tight or revealing then people think "he must be gay." Just another stereotype I guess. But now we're really getting off topic. I just say if you've got if, feel comfortable flaunting it. Female volleyball players could obviously wear something less revealing, but it's good for the sport and therefore their careers. Anyone watched women's golf lately?? Holy cow, very short tight skirts and tight tops. My goodness, what happened to the days when you couldn't get on a course unless your shirt had a collar?!?! Just my 5 cents! I’ll take that as a compliment elle!
