Halloween=sluttious opportunity?

So, I've been thinking a lot about Halloween as it looms closer and closer. It's my favorite holiday, the candy, the costumes, the trick-or-treating. I love all if it. The joy I normally feel connected to Halloween has recently been stifled though. Girl's Halloween costume choices have been a huge topic of conversation in some of my classes lately. It also seems to be a hot topic for some of my guy friends. They keep asking me if I'm going to go as a slut for Halloween... Is that how guys really see girls? As waiting for any excuse to dress up as a slut? Now this maybe be true for some, if not most girls; but I think the reason behind this trend points to a very different set of influences. That's what confuses and frustrates me to no end. The only costumes available for girls over the age of 10 are the ones with "Sexy" in the title. It's almost impossible to find anything different, unless you want to go as a scary witch or a nun. Maybe I'll go as a mummy. Not a "Sexy Mummy" but just a completely covered up, nasty, embalmed, mummy. Then we'll see how they like it. Its increasingly difficult to get a date (or even someone to look at you, especially in college for that matter...) unless you are actively competing with the throngs of half-naked girls dirty dancing or drinking (or both) on Halloween night. Forget Halloween night, try ANY night. Guys automatically think of you as a slut, or some offshoot of that if you wear revealing clothes, but they also will not pay attention to unless you do.

Now to be fair, going to class and "going out" are two completely different situations. Meeting in class is much preferred, because that is where guys become the "nice, young men" that go to class and do their homework. It is when their out at night at frat parties that they become leering perverts who are only after the hottest girl they can find. Obviously, any girl would want to be with the first guy. However, the issue lies in the fact that they are the same person in most cases. It is hard to meet these guys in class, and easier (apparently when dressed they way they assume you are going to dress) to meet them at parties.

I guess I'm just frustrated with this unjust "system" in place. No guy really wants to date or marry a "slut" yet he fails to notice the real, fully clothed, girl sitting next to him in class; unless she's dressed as a "Sexy Goldie Locks" that is...
