My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up, and he asked for one thing in particular as his gift. He wants me to dress up in heels, makeup, and a dress, and hand-deliver a six pack of beer.
I feel like this is a manageable gift, but I have a small problem. I can’t decide on what dress to wear! I’ve narrowed it down to two. I think that girls and guys have different taste, so I don’t know if a dress that I pick is going to be one that he’ll like…so I’m turning to you! Think like a guy, and help me out.
Which dress should I wear for my boyfriend’s birthday?
Dress number one:
I like this dress because it’s cute and frilly, but still sexy. I feel like this dress might appeal to him because it is girly and a little more demure.
Dress number two:
This dress is a little more straight forward I think. Less frills, tighter.
Please give me some insight, because I’m totally lost in this. Which dress appeals more to a man’s tastes, and why? If you think neither works, feel free to recommend a dress from a website if it’s under $30.

i love the first one

For a man’s taste, definitely the pink bandage dress.
guest
first one!
guest
the first one looks better for a nice occasion, and it fits you well. the second one kind of makes me think you’re dressed to go clubbing.
guest
first one
guest
Definitely number two.

first!

For this purpose, I definitely think 2. The first one is really cute, but you can save that for a dinner out or brunch, etc.
guest
First one

I think the second one
guest
I asked my fiance which he would prefer I wear, if that were his request.
“I don’t care, whatever you want to wear, why should my opinion matter if you feel comfortable in it?”
guest
I’d go with the second one. I think it’s sleek & sexy
guest
Pink! Its hotter and I think he’ll definitely like it!

I’m not a guy but I’d go with the second one.
guest
The first one is so much cuter! I’d say go with that one. And I love that gift by the way lol, I can definitely see my boyfriend asking for the same thing.

You go naked.
guest
I like the first one better…your bf will like the second better ;p
guest
@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - That’s what I was gonna say. Show up in heels with your make up and hair done with the beer, but naked.
guest
First one!
peony / 1 posts
second one for sure..the first looks like a dress to wear to a wedding or something. second one shows off your body better and im sure that’s what he meant by his request. good luck!
guest
dress number two. he won’t be thinking about the beer when you walk through the door.

The first one looks like something I would wear to a sixth grade dance. The second one.
guest
TWO. TWO. TWO.
First one is too frilly and flowery for a guy, The second accentuates your curves. The color, unlike dress 1, compliments your skin tone well and doesn’t wash it out.
From a guy’s point of view I’d want to be delivered beer to in a sexy dress…not looking young/like you’re going to church.
guest
I don’t really like either.. but the second one is better than the first. Check out forever21.com! Haha..
guest
Number 2! Do try to do something about those bikini tan lines though…
orchid / 222 posts
The second one. Trust me, I’ve consulted enough guy friends to know that they don’t “get” cute little frills and ruffles.
sunflower / 352 posts
First one is more flattering, but you look great in pink and I think he’d prefer that one if you’re delivering a six pack of beer
guest
My husband likes me in dresses that make me look like a cute and sexy country housewife. In particular he likes me in dresses with the back out, something that cinches at the waist, and something with feminine details like flowers, frills, or a fuller skirt. He likes me too look like (these are his words) “a cute, innocent, fun loving, dainty girly-girl”. This could be because I’m not really that much of a girly girl so he’s happy when I remind him that I’m still female.
Something like this: http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=dress&product_id=2062097074&Page=2&pgcount=100
Or this: http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=dress&product_id=2075661864&Page=5&pgcount=100
Sometimes though he likes me in something short and tight. But this is usually just so he can fantasize and he wouldn’t want me to wear this out of the house.

So I guess it depends on what your plans are.
EDIT: I showed my husband these dresses and he loved each one. However, he went “mmm, jungle cat” when I showed him the animal print dress that I linked so if your bf is anything like my husband you can try that one on for size if you don’t plan on going to a nice place for dinner or something.
guest
Depends what your boyfriend likes. I can certainly think of reasons for liking both. To be clear, the first one is cuter, the second one is sexier.
guest
I personally like #1!
guest
dress 1
guest
Personally I’m not a fan of either.. but I’d rather choose the second because the first looks like something I wore to my grade 7 grad.
guest
2nd one, especially since it is his birthday!
guest
i would suggest getting a dress like #2, but in black. i can’t tell you a website off the top of my head but i know stores like papaya in the mall ALWAYS have a piece like that handy. although if you really wanted to, i think your boyfriend would be really surprised and happy if you did makeup, some jewelry, heels and lingerie. (;
guest
SERIOUSLY NUMBER TWO! He will go crazy.
orchid / 242 posts
If you’re going out on the town and you want him to be impressed by the number of stares you get – the second one.
If you’re going to a park or somewhere during the daytime – the first.
guest
may i suggest a third option? trench coat and no dress underneath. seriously!
guest
First is prettier. Second is sexier. Depends on what look you’re going for… I reeeeeeeeally love the first one, though.
guest
If you want to try and look sexy, go with the second one. If you want to look sweet, go with the first. Either way, they’re both adorable!
guest
i’m sure he’ll love either one!
here’s a bargain for $9.95 from forever 21, and it comes in 3 different colors!
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=dress&product_id=2081258980&Page=2&pgcount=25#
guest
#2, definitely.
guest
Second. It looks a lot better on you.
guest
I agree with your view on the first dress about being more girly and demure. the layered ruffles move as you sashay in the sexy high heels and teases his senses
it is saying something like…hi, sweetie. do you like my purdy dress
then he’ll probably say that you look adorable/cute
I’d go with the demure first dress but wear some sexy lingerie underneath and surprise him later
whereas the tight body hugging nightclub dress is basically saying…come hither
you’re going to get some tonight;) he’ll probably describe it as sexy/hot
guest
Dress number 1.. much more flattering!
guest
PINK
cherry blossom / 29 posts
definitely the second dress
lily / 5148 posts
Second one ;P
orchid / 197 posts
you should most definitely wear the second dress. you will have him salivating when he sees you. you look fantastic.
guest
Your boyfriend will like the second one better.
sunflower / 447 posts
I’d say the first one, unless you’re going clubbing, then wear the second one. The first one is cute and sexy at the same time, so it has the advantage over the second one.
Have fun! =)
guest
TWO. Heels, dress and beer? Please. Birthday sex.
guest
2nd one.
guest
since we’re talking about the guys are attracted to red recently in some post
guest
First one, it’s fun and flirty. The second one is less flattering.
guest
first one!!
guest
Most definitely the pink one, with black heels and smokey eyes. (:
guest
number one. but they both look amazing on you!
cherry blossom / 49 posts
Ooo, the first one is way too “church” Sunday.
If I was a guy, I would want my beer presented by girl in dress #2…
guest
Heh I like how the decision is pretty split. Though seems more people like dress 2.
I think you should go with dress #1. It looks better, and more seductive, only thing is it is a little tame. But tame’s not so bad if you work it with your actions.
#2 I dunno if it’s the design, or just that it’s pink but I don’t really like it all that much. Maybe if it was black or red. I think I just have a thing against too much pink though.
guest
#2….your guy is definitely gonna appreciate that one a bit more. The first one is short, but doesn’t allow him to REALLY look you up and down.
guest
the second. for a guy, the tighter the better.
guest
second one. strapless! u can tuck it in haha
guest
men like warm colors.
guest
Most definitely two.
Your boyfriend wants to see your shape, that’s why he wants he wants you to get all dressed up and wear a dress. Believe me, please please please go with two.
guest
the second. its waaay sexier. sounds like he wants you coming to his door as hot as can be and that second dress does it. the firsts cute and all but naaah. the second. good luck!
guest
It depends upon what else you are planning on “giving” him for his birthday and when.
I consider the first to be flirtatious and something you should wear if you plan to slowly build up the anticipation until later in the night.
The second is what I’d suggest if you are planning on seducing him right away when you see him.
Personally, I’d suggest a little black dress that has the top of the first and the bottom of the second. but that’s my bias!
I’m a guy, so I wasn’t exactly using my upper brain on this one.
guest
The first one.
daisy / 568 posts
GO NAKED.
guest
guys would like the #2 look a lot more. Its sexy and hugs your curves
#1 = going out on a nice day for picnic
guest
@omgroxie@xanga - That’s great!
sunflower / 334 posts
Personally, my guess is you’ve worn the second one before, so I’d go with the first one, definitely more “seasonal” and not so hoochie, IMO
guest
Dress number 2 and don’t let anyone tell you different haha.
guest
@chicbananas@xanga - As a man, I must disagree. My vote’s for the first!
sunflower / 282 posts
Oh I really love both those dresses! But I say #2 because it seems a little sexier.
Have fun!
daisy / 501 posts
@makou3347@xanga - Ah, you are the first man to disagree (that I’ve spoken to)!
guest
the first one is cute, but i think it’s more for a different occasion. not really liking the second one, although it accentuates your curves more, too many lines/ribbons crisscrossing the body. you can check out these dresses:

guest
the second one.
Because if you put make up one with a pink dress, your facial colour is a lot warmer
Your makeup style range is better than having cooler colours. Since you already have a nice tan, going with pink is good.
guest
First one
it’s gorgeous. And with your gift idea, the second one would make you look escort/call girl instead of girlfriend, which the first one looks like =]
guest
I thought I’d be able to decide easily… but gawd, I must be too womanly. hahaha. I love the colors of the first one, and personally it looks cuter i think… but I might have to go with the second one for this occasion…because of the shape, style etc. Even though that color is so warm.
guest
depends where you are going but the 1st one is better if it is out with friends or casual dinner.
2nd one is good if it is just you two or a romantic dinner.
guest
The second. Blow his mind.
He’ll love any dress you choose, as long as you’re wearing it for him and he’s allowed to help you out of it.
guest
I think you should’ve posed the same for both, because I’m wanting to say the first for the coy, cute little pose. The second one looks a little flat, but whichever is easiest to get of, I say go for XD
guest
2nd!
guest
I’d go for the 2nd dress. It’s a bit sexier and I’m sure he’d like it more than the first on because of its sexiness.
guest
…Does anyone else think that his request is weird? If I asked my boyfriend what he wanted for his birthday and he essentially said “Look nice (oh, and do that by altering your body and your face)”, I’d be insulted. You should dress for you…not for anyone else.
guest
Im going to go with the second one… Not really because I like it. Mainly because my husband and pretty much every man I know dont understand or like ruffles or frilly dresses/shirts. The first one also kind of just looks like you are going to a sunday morning service and then brunch someplace.
guest
first flatters your body more… second doesnt in this photo at least
guest
Number 2 all the way!!!!
guest
i like the first one for a bday. i asked my boyfriend which one he likes and he also said the first one!
guest
I love the first dress.
sunflower / 251 posts
I think the first one flatters your body better, but the colors and print is churchy.
cherry blossom / 27 posts
Def. the pink bandage dress!! Soo cute!!
guest
Second one!
guest
Definitely dress #2 – it’s sexy
guest
Pick number two! You look like you’re going for an afternoon lunch in the first one& the 2nd is much more appropriate for the occasion! What guy wants a girl to go full out makeup/heels/ect, and then show up in a Sunday afternoon dress…none!
Make him sweat when he sees you, 2nd one it is!
guest
i can’t believe so many people said one! from a girls’ perspective AND a guy’s i’d go two! i love two!
hydrangea / 87 posts
Clearly it has to be the first one – You’re going to want something that you can bend over in.
guest
I’m not in love with either (no offense) but do agree that he would probably like the second one much better for sex appeal factor.
guest
second one…much better:)
guest
White and blue, in my opinion.
guest
I like the first one. It looks flirty and since the skirt part isn’t too form fitting, it at leaves SOME to the imagination, rather than the 2nd one where it’s completely form fitting.
guest
As a girl who thinks like a guy, definitely #2! Very sexy, and honestly I don’t think he’d notice if you showed up in that without beer.
guest
I loooove the first one! Cute.
guest
for what he wants you to do definitely wear the second one
. if you’re going out though wear the first one, it looks incredibly pretty, while the second one looks sexy
guest
My boyfriend likes the first one better. He says the second one looks like it is too hard to get off. He thinks you can just lift the first one up and get to the birthday “present” faster. He doesn’t like the “stripey” things on the second one.
guest
Second one!
guest
Dress #2
guest
The first one will do!
guest
Number one.
The second one doesn’t fit your body shape
guest
The second one fits his request better. Think “sexy” not “cute.”
guest
The blue one
guest
numero deux!
guest
I’d go for the second; he’d probably prefer that one. Figure fitting for sure!
But just an idea – I was thinking an LBD? Or alternatively you could go for a red instead? Whatever you think is more eye-catching?

guest
im a guy and I much prefer the first one, much more flirty and
while a bandage dress can make a womans curves stand out, the one your wearing doesnt do justice to your body. Especially that neck strap, it looks tacky it’d look better if it was strapless which most bandage dresses are. Then again even if that dress was strapless I really really dislike the “X” bands going across your stomach like a target on your belly.
the first dress is miles more flattering to you than the first one
And girl, whatever you wear its all about the attitude. When you deliver his 6 pack of beer, deliver something a little extra if ya know what I mean
Walk with swag and ooze sexy with every step you take.
guest
Number one, for sure. You just look like you feel better in that dress, and I’m sure that’ll speak volumes to your boyfriend.
guest
2 rocks.Def 2. Hope HE will be dressed nice enough for YOU
ps: where did u buy it please, i’d love this dress
