Balthazor Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 What do you guys think of as modest dressing? I hear tcw always talking about women dressing modestly and I want to just know what is the standard of modest? Does this mean no bare shoulders? No forearm showing? No Legs showing? Or no tight clothing? No cleavage? And what about guys? What are the standards for guys? I see guys with theis shirts off all the time, and frankly there are very few guy around here I want to see with their shirts off. I also do not want to see anyone's underwear....be it a some girl's thong or some guy's boxers. What is modest to you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theculturewarrior Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I accept that what I think is immodest a lot of women do not see any problem with. Remember the little brother in the Christmas Story? The way his mother dressed him for winter is the way I wish women would dress. I'm sick of midriffs. I also don't want to see anybody's underwear. Tight fitting clothes tempt me. I admit, I'm as culpable in this as anybody...but man...it makes sharia look welcoming. Well, not really, but anyway...

Paladin D Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 [quote name='Balthazor' date='Nov 30 2004, 05:47 PM'] Does this mean no bare shoulders? No forearm showing? No Legs showing? Or no tight clothing? No cleavage? [/quote] It depends on my mood and the way the person acts I guess. The only thing (from the list you've provided) is showing a lot of cleavage. Some is fine, but a lot can be tempting. Tight clothing isn't really a problem, it's the [b]super[/b] tight clothing where you can see the woman's underpants.

Duc_In_Altum Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I think tight clothing is the biggest no no. As a guy, that can be as distracting as any cleavage or forearm showing. Tight clothing puts the whole form of the woman's body on exhibit. Makes it really difficult for us guys to think clearly and keep our eyes from wandering when your pointing out your whole body to us. Tip: Please save the tight clothing for your husband. I think he'll like it. el paz, -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eremite Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Modesty is really hard to measure. I've seen very very faithful Catholic women wearing things that I would not wear if I were a woman. But I realize that there is a certain amount of legitimate disagreement on the matter. I agree with the person above that tight clothing really isn't modest. I know some people object to women wearing pants, but I think that is excessive.

As little cleavage as possible...that's just asking for unwelcomed attention. 2. Bare shoulders...eh...some men would be attracted if there is a lot of "sculpture" to them. 3. I think forearms can actually be cute, but as for scandalous, not really. 4. Legs...I tend to think that if you are showing any more than your knees, you need more length. I think capris do modestly while remaining cute and attractive. 5. No tight clothing. Anything which makes any parts of the body, particularly those parts which are made mostly of fat (breasts, buttocks, etc.), stick out (I mean that literally and figuratively), should go. There are certain fabrics which sort of cling to the body without being tight...if they don't give extra emphasis to any part of the body (being uniform in color helps a lot with this), then they can be good. What annoys me the most in clothing is when women wear shirts that are so tight they actually seem to tuck-in under the breasts...that's not good...it's very scandalous, because it almost gives the impression of nudity. 6. Girls in men's sports jersies and such...bad idea...most of the time, something that "unusual" is arousing and isn't good... Third: I would like to know what the modesty standards should be for guys. I imagine that we shouldn't wear anything that shows of muscular torsos, but besides that, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered whether no shirt on men is immodest, but I can imagine Jesus fishing with the Apostles without a shirt on. I don't think the upper male torso is sexually inviting as it is on women. Then again, I can't speak for women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean...I mentioned the guys with shirts that show off muscular torsos, but I don't have a muscular torso, so what shows when I wear one of those shirts is that I have a barrel chest and a relatively flat stomach with a little "love handle" at the bottom, lol...

Dave Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) Ya know, I was just thinking about clothing that shows off a girl's butt ... if you're a guy who likes to act like a girl doesn't have certain bodily functions, then this might keep you from getting tempted if you notice her butt ... anyway, if you notice her butt, instead of saying, "Oh, she's got a cute butt (@$$, tush, etc.)," instead say, "Oh, she's got a cute pooper." And if you're a guy who likes to act like girls don't have bowels, then I guarantee you girls' butts won't look so attractive anymore!

Balthazor Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 I dress appropriately fo the place. But here are my pet peeves: Guys who walk around with their pants hanging down to their knees and their boxers hanging out. I gotta say that I am not so much turned on by this as I am disgusted. I mean I live in a cold environment, pull up your pants your gonna freeze your jaika s off! Number one biggest pet peeve of mine.... sweat pants or jersy shorts or anyshorts that have something written in big letters across a girls butt. I just wanna pull her aside and say "um excuse me miss, you have something on your butt." Also any clothing that has the words "lick me" on it....barf.
