If women resent being 'sexually objectified', why do they sexually objectify themselves to attract a mate?
Obviously, only directed to those who do.
I guess they don’t resent it as much as they claim to do. I suspect they object to being hit on by ugly guys and losers. You don’t hear much whining when their sexy outfit attracts the attention of the guy they’re interested in.

There’s a difference between seeing someone as an attractive *person* and seeing someone as an attractive *object*.
Women want to be treated like a person, not an object, regardless of how attractive they are. Just because a woman does things to make herself more attractive, does not mean she automatically loses her status as a person.

I believe that a woman’s sexual power exceeds that of a man. Women are visually more attractive to men than men are to women, and therefore a woman who wants to use her sexual power is going to maximize her chances of being noticed. A man’s power is mainly in his achievements and status, which are effective in his attracting women.
Of course, women can achieve and attain status, just as men. But long hours in the workplace doesn’t exactly enhance your sexual appeal; it enhances your wealth and status. So there is somewhat of a trade-off. If you want status, you tend to sacrifice or concede sexual power. Women who want both status AND sexual power have to spend enormous amounts of their money on cosmetic products and services.

N.B. Jones states it correctly. I don’t think you understand what the term "objectify" means. "Objectify" means to treat another person as an object, a means to an end, without regard for their thoughts or feelings. To treat them as if they are none-persons, to be used, exploited. So, how can a person treat themselves this way? And trying to attract the opposite sex is not "objectifying" one’s self, it’s doing what humans have done since the beginning of humanity. Attraction, and appreciating someone for their physical appearance, should never be confused with "objectification." One has nothing to do with the other.

I am not sure I agree with you, I never want to objectify myself. I just want to dress nice and I happen to like tanks and summer dresses in the summer when it is hot. And also I hate one piece swim suits. I dress the way I do for me, not for anyone else. And another thing, I am not real tall so even in winter I have to be selective in what I wear. So to layer clothing is out for me. Heels make me taller anything to give me a little more height. And lose clothing is also not an option for me. It looks frumpy…
It is one thing to have a man look at you, but when they look at your eyes for a sec then without any hesitation goes straight to your boobs, it feels like a violation. Granted this is when I am in a tank top or summer dress not in a bathing suit. If it was the bathing suit I am not as offended for some reason. "I guess you just expect it more because more flesh is showing."
I don’t dress with all parts hanging out, if it is a tank I am covered every where else. If it is a sundress, still it is to my knees and flip flops on. I don’t dress in a provocative way just girly.
