BEING VIRTUOUS IS HARD.. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO DRESS??

SHE SAID:... Recently I was asked to speak on style and Christian living... Sooo... were told as women not to wear revealing clothing or tight pants.. skirts too short is a no no... but it seems like every where we look that's all women wear. Christian men are gawking at maxim magazine because that woman has no clothes on what are we suppose to do as virtuous women? How do men of God view this? What is too tight and too short? Cleavage?

AND what about all these men of God with their shirts off showing their bodies off.. isn't that a double strandard?

HE SAID:... I like this topic. To start off ask yourself two questions. When I get dressed am I attracting other men? Am i disrespecting the man I am with by my choice of clothing? You spoke on men of God gawking at half naked women in magazines but whats funny is I dont have to buy a magazine anymore to gawk at a half naked woman... I can just step outside of my apartment or log onto facebook. Many women in todays society want a man so bad to where they dont care how they attract him they just want the feeling of being wanted. By wearing tight revealing clothing you are attracting a man in a sexual manner. Is that really the type of image you want to give off before you even meet him. First thing he is seeing is your butt and breast and the initial thought is sex. so we get your number with the thought I cant wait to hit that. Tell you what you wanna hear and then your in the situation that you dont wanna be in. Call him a dog. But your initial move was attracting that man with your suggestive clothing. Now - to look at it on the otherside you can wear conservative clothing and look good and you know that when that man approaches you its not from the thought of sex but from the thought that he likes the fact that you are conservative. The next time you use the phrase men only want you for sex - think about how you attracted him in the first place. I would never approach a girl with a short skirt or would I approach a girl that has her breast revealed with a deep cut shirt. Respect yourself before you can expect to recieve respect from a man.

SHE SAID:... AMEN I am going to have to agree.. LADIES what is your motive when you put that short little skirt on? Are you revealing clevage for the purposes of guys seeing it? Lets think about it. If were putting on clothes for the purposes of a man lusting after us.. WERE DEAD WRONG. Not only are you being the temptress your also degrading yourself and your self respect. To many times I hear women say ALL MEN ARE DOGS... but what are you doing to attract men? HMMM .. Lets just break it down... Being a virtuous woman is so rare this day and age... Every woman wants to be beyonce and christina wearing pretty much nothing and getting every guy she can.. But do you know how dangerous that is.. A virtuous woman is one who is pure, who abstains from a sexual relationship other than with her husband, a woman who is not suggestive; she is free from obscenity and indecency; she is modest, pure and decent. How do you dress? Are you modest? What is modest? Properly, restrained by a sense of propriety; hence, not forward or bold; not presumptuous or arrogant; not boastful.  Be careful about how you dress. Dress to glorify the Lord not to draw attention from the eyes of men. When you get ready to go out, ask yourself these questions.

1. Are my clothes too tight- does it draw attention to the wrong areas?
2. Is it too short- when I sit, am I covered properly?
3. Does my shirt cover me or does it expose too much?
Ladies if you have an ounce of unsureness dont wear it.. PERIOD
How can a man respect you if you dont respect yourself? My co writer brings up a good point if you represent yourself as a suggestive female.. A man who is in the world is going to take what he can... FACT

..Remember A man may expect a woman to sell what she advertises. If she does not want to be propositioned, then she should not advertise.

    This is a topic I have been PRAYING about since last week..I have been asking God about what's modest? Is it wrong to wear pants as a woman? Because I come from the background where it is strongly taught about women in pants and all that stuff.

    So, I got tired and I was like...Okay, God. I want to know what you think. When I found out what the Lord wants, it was so easy for me to dress without trying to please the standards I have grown up in...

    We need to dress to PLEASE the Lord..not anyone. Its completely different in the comforts of your own home with your husband (: But we are children of God...We need to be separated from the world. Showing cleavage and revealing your back off is not being separated from the world..It's only one thing..Attracting attention. I mean, some may dress that way without deliberately thinking of attracting the opposite sex but then it's not about us..It's about pleasing God....

    I love that I can see the perspective from the opposite sex,too...Makes sense! If you love God, you won't want to dress in a way to cause the opposite sex to think what they shouldn't think!

    Amen Amen!
    Sorry for my long post :P

  2. I really like this topic because so many women don't know what modesty mean and your right a lot of times women dress inappropriately and wonder why men disrespect them and by no means am I saying that its right for a man to disrespect bcuz of ur clothing but you do leave the door open for furthermore yea men might like seeing women dress half naked in videos but trust and believe in real life No self respecting man wants to be out with u in 6inch heels wearing booty shorts lol and before I go let me add ladies we are not toys so stop trying to be "Barbie" like Nikki if u want to imitate a woman try Proverbs 31

  3. I forget where it says this in the bible ( but maybe you all can help me) that we shouldn't get so caught up in traditions. This relates to the idea that women shouldn't wear pants, it's simply a tradition. Is not wearing pants going to get you heaven or help you speak His word?

    Thanks for this topic! It's just tough for me when I see Christian men pay all their Attention to these sex toys. I dress modest and I'm single and a Christian man (a PK!) told me that's y I'm single bc I need to show something to get a mans attention. I dropped him and his advice but it's tough out here especially knowing that if I dressed like some of these women out here... I could surely take their man or get the attention from anyone I want.
