When you imagine meeting aliens, do you picture them having clothes on?

I don’t envision the type of clothes we have, if any at all. Clothes evolved from coverings that kept people warm/ gave them shelter, so I imagine that the aliens’ clothes would have evolved from that as well. If their ancestors were poorly equipped for a certain climate, then I’d say yes. They probably wouldn’t look like our modern-day clothes at all though. More like mucus coverings or something…it depends on their form. Am I being too analytical of this?

I actually can’t remember if I envisioned clothes or not. I try to envision aliens as being…well…alien, not at all similar to us in form, so I’m more concerned with shape and function and method of communication than clothes.
But now that you’ve mentioned it I will drive myself nuts trying to envision one of Larry Niven’s puppeteers in Versace.

I don’t picture them. But if I did, they would have clothes on. It is difficult to imagine being able to survive in interstellar space without environmental protection suits.

Cocktail dresses & spats.

How they dress would depend on the Environment they live in. I am sure they will wear some type of clothing or protective garments. Less or more depending upon the temperature.

No. They wear nothing at all . But at any time they wish to have clothes on they can not only do that , they can also appear human. If they are a million years ahead of us (or more) they can do things that few can imagine like pass through walls. They don’t need a belt or shoes. They’re way past that. Have we evolved from apes or similar? Did apes have tv’s and computers? It’s like that .

Anybody else wonder exactly how three out of four of the Qs to the right are “related”?????

Yes, if not nice fur.

It depends on a lot of factors. Dis they evolve in a particularly cold part of their planet, or a warm part? Are their bodies covered with fur? Do they have a religion with modesty taboos?

I guess some aliens will wear clothes (the greater probability with the more “yes” answers), and some won’t.

No. I don’t think I do. They are those bald, tall, lanky, naked aliens in my head. They would look a bit odd in human clothes…

Totally nekked. Aliens in my universe do not wear clothes.

@chyna : I hope they’re sexy humanoid aliens.

Oh they are. Very sexy humanoid with gold eyes.

I’ve been had by the whole goddamn X Files grays phenomenon, so my aliens are all naked, but sometimes, for some reason, I picture them with some kind of headgear on.

@Symbeline What about genitalia? I think naked aliens should all have oversize genitalia. Cocks the size of anacondas. Vaginas like giant slavering anemones. Exaggerated curves everywhere else. The aliens with no genitals or curves at all? Meh!

@wundayatta
They may produce their offspring in the Lab. LOL they may Clone. Maybe their genitalia are shrinking.
A species that is more advanced than ours would have all kinds of ways to accomplish things that we do not. Sex would not be their main focus.

@philosopher Then again, once reproduction is taken away, sex could totally take over as a focus. I, for one, would think that a world where sex didn’t take over would be somewhat hellish. But I don’t know if I could predict how evolution would respond.

@wundayatta Yeah, the sexless aliens, is unfortunately what I picture. Maybe because I imagine them to be so evolved that they don’t physically need to even mate in order to reproduce. Or maybe they poop out eggs from a small orifice that might constitute as an ass. They’re jealous of our beautiful human asses, so that’s why they’re always wanting to probe us. They’re all like, man I wish I had an ass like this. ’‘poke’’
I don’t know where the whole cow napping thing relates to this though.

Also…giant slavering anemones. Imma have to remember that one. XD

If I had a cock the size of an anaconda, I could see sending it down the throat of a giant, slavering anemone. But I don’t. So I’m happy that women are as curvy and sexy as they are. If the aliens don’t look like that, they can go hang out in the cigar store for all I care.
