jeffpugh Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Lawl. Yeah, I heard about the skin cancer thing before... In fact, it used to be(/still is?) a big health system propaganda piece for the summer.

Autumn Dusk Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 one has to get some sun or not have enough vitaman D. Its far more unhealthy to take a supplement than to spend some time in the sun and get tanned

I have heard of a magical disc of golden light that appears during the "day", yet I have not seen it. I wake up in the morning, go to work in the dark outside. I leave work in the evening, and drive home in the dark outside. At night I look outside, yet it is dark. Yes, there is the moon, but it is a white disc, not golden.

Pio Nono Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 JMJ 12/30 - Holy Family Sunday It's most definitely not an occasion of sin if I'm the one without his shirt on.

Socrates Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 As the merest glimpse of my virile torso sends any and all females into a mad frenzy of uncontrollable lust, I am forced to cover myself with a large burka-like structure before venturing into the outside world.
Deb Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 [quote name='prose' post='1371583' date='Aug 27 2007, 10:51 AM']I don't mind shirtless. BUT the bottoms need to be pulled up to an appropriate level. Men with the swim trunks that seem to be being held up by their... um... privates. And then you see not only the six pack, but the muscles that lead to their pelvis. This can DEFINITELY be occasion to sin. definitely.[/quote] ..............and occasion for drooling which is most unattractive.

johnnydigit Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 [quote name='XIX' post='1371050' date='Aug 26 2007, 12:22 PM']I tend to avoid those places just to avoid the women in bikinis, so it's kind of moot to me from a practical perspective. But I've always wondered if it is considered immodest for a guy to not wear his shirt.[/quote] same here. everyone is at a different point in their journey, and i feel i'm at a point where i'm sensitive to such things, and i would prefer not to be around such an occasion of sin. if i don't really have much choice, then i will go and know that i will have to try hard to control my eyes and mind. do i follow this always? no. if there are really attractive girls who i know are going to wear bikinis, i'll try not to go at all. if they are not going in the water, i'll go but not go in the water. if there are female friends who i think may be attracted to me, i'll try not to be shirtless. wearing a shirt into the water - kinda awkward so i won't go there, yet. a girl wearing a t-shirt would be swell. my ultimate goal is to reasonably not arouse thoughts in others, and hopefully they'll do the same for me. when going to the gym or beach, i don't wear tight tank tops anymore - at the least, a loose, sleeveless t-shirt. incognito.. mixing in with the crowd.. not calling attention to oneself.. ======== on another note, what about people who know they are somewhat above average looking.. more on the attractive side.. should they try to be even more modest? i think they should. double standard? yes. the reality is, more people will notice the attractive person. "with great power comes great responsibility!" maybe they can use it to evangelize..

Brillaint. Here is an example: [url="http://www.coolibar.com/03505.html"]http://www.coolibar.com/03505.html[/url] waterproof. uvproof. all the goodies while retaining modesty. If someone asks why you are wearing, you could use mental reservation and tell them you are protecting your skin from uv rays. They even make these for woman. My brother in law has one, and they are perfectly comfortable in the water because of the special material. Like I said brilliant. Who says being modest isnt fun?
missionarybelle Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 modest swimsuits....

missionarybelle Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 i was being very sarcastic when i posted all those. nothing agaisnt the people who wear them. i know people who do. i just don't find them attractive and won't wear them. i also think they're a bit over the top.
Lil Red Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 oh, Lord. phew. thank goodness. i couldn't tell the sarcasm, sorry! a bit over the top is an understatement of the year, me thinks
