However, some of these responses are ridiculous. The fact that over 50% disagree that "It is okay for girls to wear tighter and/or more revealing clothes if they are working out" and there was a text message response: "If one so implicitly desires to work out in an "exercise bra," they can put a home-gym in their basement" is insane. As a very athletic female, I have a problem with this. There are definitely times in the summer, or in very hot climates, when it is necessary to work out in a sports bra- we don't have the luxury of going topless like guys do! To think that God would honestly disapprove of this is absurd - Paul even talks about being athletic, and of course, Corinthians 6:19: the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I'm not saying it is necessary to wear skimpy clothing always while working out, but if I am faced with getting my exercise in while not having a heat stroke or the charge of following these suggestions, my health is going to win. It seems that this is a question more of a man's drive and ability to focus on his physical activity than the clothing - in certain situations you just can't place the blame on us.

Keep up the great work everyone! As a Christian we should strive to do our best in all areas of our lives, including Modesty. Paul's testimony has stuck out to me. He was willing to give up meat if it offended his brother/sister in Christ. Should we not also have this heart of humbleness and meekness? I know this is over now, but this is awesome!

It has helped me to have a view of modesty from a man's point of view, which in return has helped me to see how really important modesty is to not only to grow closer to God but to help men as well. It was also I HUGE encouragement to read the comments and see so many men wanting to serve God with all their hearts. And we need to be helping them along the way; Ladies we can't leave it up to just them! So thank you guys for encouraging us to be modest and to not go along with what the culture is trying to get us to dress in, it really means a lot to us teen girls!

As a teen girl I always wonderd if dressing in this or that way was really important or if it was "a lie made up to restrict us girls". Now I understand that it is impotant and that I should not cause my brothers in the Lord to stumble. And girls don't worry that dressing in a modest way won't make Godly men think your weird, but in a way they will respect you. Besides the a atention a girl gets from showing off what should be kept to yourself, and future spouse, is negitive and NOT Christ-honoring!!!!

I mean, really, Shirts with messages across the front draw too much attention to the bust? Should I suggest to my female friends never to wear a shirt with words on the chest? Where would you like them? Clothing (especially light-colored shirts, dresses, or pants) should always be tested before it is worn to guarantee that it does not become slightly transparent in certain lighting? What do you want girls to do, spend a day testing out their clothes before they wear them? Showing any cleavage is immodest? So every female ever has at some point been immodest? Girls with less curves can wear clothes that girls with more curves should not? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You're thin, don't wear skinny jeans. It isn't okay for girls to wear tighter and/or more revealing clothes if they are working out? But it's ok for guys? The idea, eh, the answers, terrible!!!!

I loved it because it made me feel like i didn't have to wait until i started college to begin my life. I love the part that talks about the modesty survey. I was in a purity study taken from the book "and the bride wore white"...it taught me a lot about how others view what I wear. And how God wants us to treasure our bodies and not show them off like they are a new cell phone. It may be hard but its worth it to find out that there are guys out there looking for "modest girls" thank you -alexa I just read the “do hard things” book.
