what is so appealing about them? you go to shor saraba forum and every actor and actress is semi nude. Men/Women of south American and some African tribes hardly wear any clothes but they dont appear sexy to us or to their own people. Does that mean that nudity mixed with beauty (although beauty is very subjective) is what creates the ultimate appeal? If yes, then cant only beauty be sufficient to create that appeal?
My question is, do we need nudity to be popular, famnous, marketable?
Re: scantily clad people
It did get your attention. That would be the purpose.
Re: scantily clad people
presentable
if you make those africans presentable even they would look good. No one looks good at every angle. every person looks good at some angle with some light and some pose. only if you know how to highlight the best features, like they with pamela anderson 
TLK, sad but true.... if u wanna be successful in this industry (modelling, acting whatever), u have to take ur clothes off...
I couldn't care less about indian actresses dancing around semi naked in rain or hollywood actresses doing a full sex scene or even paki actresses doing crap but it does shock me when I see paki models (who're from good backgrounds and are well educated, well spoken) modelling in disgusting clothes....
Jo dikhta hai wo bikta hai, I guess.....
Re: scantily clad people
There was a study done recently on what is considered appealing like how much percentage of your skin be visible to be appealing.
The number was like 44% anything above that was not appealing to most folks.
Same concept of makeup and clothes etc.
Instead of being sexy - you are just in the skanky percentage.
let me find the article
Re: scantily clad people
All those pics are photoshopped.
Hmmm, but nudity is not the only attention grabbing way .. there are other ways too, right?
Same answer as I gave to Niks, every person looks good at some angle, does that angle need to be a nude pose?
Nudity is more the part of elite class nowadays (wahtever ‘elite’ suppose to mean). You are consider jahil ganwaar dehaati if your shirt is full sleeves. have you noticed that?
I like to read that article. Want to know if appeal reduces as skin visibilty increases from 0 to 44% or no.
they are semi nude to begin with .. right?
Trust me. I have!
^This is the stuff im talking about!
And notice how the uploader very proudly calls them hot!
Put my pic up on youtube and all hell will break loose over me wanting to cover myself up!
Re: scantily clad people
I agree that given our culture and religion, nudity bieng so openly accepted (expected) in our society, is quite surprising.
Nudity is more the part of elite class nowadays (wahtever 'elite' suppose to mean). You are consider jahil ganwaar dehaati if your shirt is full sleeves. have you noticed that?
Umm no! Go to fashion and beauty or classified ads, full sleeves are in.
Re: scantily clad people
I think what you consider "nudity" or "scantly clad" is very subjective. I personally haven't seen any Pakistani celebs dressed scantly clad or showing nudity. It's all about how you perceive exposed skin.
As for the question, I think people expose skin to standout and seek attention. If everyone was naked the person with clothes on would get noticed.
Re: scantily clad people
I think opposite, the most outlandish outfit works for me, i know of times when i wore 24 meter shalwar kameez suits!
I am not that big a guy, okay i'm tall but not fat so i look totally odd in clothes which are so long. However theres good reason for the suit, no it's not a waste of cloth.... it is a symbol of ones status just like the sword i often wear ;)
Re: scantily clad people
men can notice a scantly clad women a mile away -i suppose its got something to do with sex appeal . but what about women how do you perceive half naked women
must be from dehaati.com webiste 
.. joking
I am not saying anything about Pakistani fashion, I was talking things in general. EVery culture is expsoing more skin than they were only 15 years ago.
24 meters shalwar kameez 
.. we need pictures
Good question, want to know the answer.

Re: scantily clad people
How do men perceive half naked women? From one end htey're sexy the other end htey're slutty?
Re: scantily clad people
Scatily dressed is such a relative term.
Generally, in Pakistan, people take a dim view of exposing any flesh. Pakistan is the land of burqa, and not really known for style.
Re: scantily clad people
fully clothed hottie = hot.
scantily clad hottie = 1 step closer to what i want.
ergo.
scantily clad hottie = 1 step closer to what i want.
ergo.
that reminded me of that old joke where a villager waited behind the bushes for this girl (who was ready to take a bath in the river) to take her clothes off so he can run away with her clothes.
Re: scantily clad people
that reminds me of the engineer and naked blonde on a bike joke, where he was offered whatever he wanted.
and he took the 27 gear bike. _
