I guess that has mostly to do with growing up going to a christian school and highschool and having dress codes, but it is still interesting to see what other peoples points of few on modesty are and they will definatly help me stay modest in the way I dress.

I understand the reasons for this, because girls are soooo distracting. It's a huge set back for the feminism movement! I thought living in the 21 century woman and man could finally become equal. Unfortunatly not I suppose. I'm not saying woman should seduce man with their clothing, But it's a way to express yourself and shouldn't be limited by man or boys thinking that 'it is immodeste.' Woman can also be turned on by man But no one talks about that and how guys should prevent it. According to you it is al our fault, however it comes both ways!! I can't go out alone in the dark, but why shouldn't those man act more appropriate? It's not in the clothing for man or woman to act modeste, it is all in the way you act!!

If you were to sit down in a small group it would be slightly awkward talking face-to-face but probably also not wise either. I like what Valerie mentioned about the idea that dressing modestly is so hard that it becomes bondage but it really made sense the point she brought up - that it's actually protecting others from bondage. Dressing modestly is definitely hard work - sometimes so hard that you can't even really have fun because a bra-strap might be exposed or what not. I almost gave up on the whole thing the other day because it's unbelievable how much TIME and ENERGY it takes up. I'm like, "is this even worth it?" But then God confirmed to me that yes, the precious gift of my body is worth protecting. Sometimes we need constant reminders to keep heading down the straight and narrow even if no-one else is doing it with us. Otherwise we'll get burned out and go with the flow. I was wondering though, how do we have balance even in dressing modestly when we can't avoid how much time and effort it takes? Obviously loving others is more important than the clothes we wear, even though modesty is loving out Christian brothers. I love this whole idea of guys and girls communicating about this.

I am almost done with your book and I never knew two teenagers could make such a difference! I loved the part when you brought up modesty. I think that girls should do their part and boys should do their part. These days, girls take modesty very lightly and blame boys for lusting at them. We should stop blaming each other and do our part to be modest. Doing this would please the Lord and change the world we live in for the better. Thank you! Madison Wow!

It just reminds me that everyday I need to make sure that my heart is right concerning modesty and that I need to be careful of how I dress. The way we dress and act in public is showing the world who we are and what we stand for. I really think that it would be a great idea to have a modesty survey for guys as well. Please consider it and anyone that agrees with me, please feel free to comment on that as well. God bless you. Miss Hannah D. Thank you Alex and Brett for putting together this wonderful survey!

Don't we all have different opinions or views on what modesty really is. I don’t really get the whole being “modest” scenario.

The bible says that our bodies are living temples for the Lord. When girls where revealing clothing it is throwing away the respect God made you with. It also causes other guys to lust and dishonor God. "Psalm 101:3 I will set no impure thing before my eyes." I am not saying that girls who wear revealing clothing impure. All I mean to say is God made us special so we don't need to flash it like we were the creators. Please don't think I am saying girls need to wear turtleneck shirts and jeans all the time. Girls can still look wonderful without showing to much. I saw some of you were questioning the importance of modesty. The bible says that our bodies are living temples for the Lord.

Having said that, I appologize, but I do not give credence to your entire theory, all be it exciting none the less. It appears to everyone that your comments are actually not totally justified and in simple fact you are generally yourself not fully convinced of the argument. In any event I did enjoy reading through it.
