Jaime - I guess I should be clearer on my part about modesty: ladies should look like ladies, which means wearing feminine clothing, not gender-neutral clothes. Men treat me very well as I dress femininely and modestly, yet the good treatment is chivalry more than lust - so it seems, anyway, from my point of view. A cardboard box with arm holes would do the job of covering me up, but it wouldn't be feminine nor would it be modest because the oddity of my garb would draw attention to me. I dress to please my Lord and my lord, my dear husband. What I wear in public reflects, for good or bad, on Christ and on my husband. Dressing like a lady is one way to honor them both. Interestly, I find that when I am dressed like a lady, I act like a lady without a second thought; but when I am wearing jeans, for instance, I have to remind myself continually to sit, stand, and walk like a lady.

Prior to my wife being married, I don't think I ever noticed them at all. After seeing my wife glow as she carried our children, I did notice the attractiveness of most pregnant woman, and her joy that spills over to everything she does, but it has been somehow different, ie. not sinful for the most part.

I asked my husband what he wanted me to wear. Dresses and skirts of course!...lol After dressing very modestly, and feminine, (A site called Ladies Aagainst Feminism inspired me in the past...... and is how I found Rebelution) We discovered that YES, I was being treated like a lady. Even Grocery stores were a nightmare for us, Men were asking me if I needed help. and wanting to start up a conversation!! opening doors...so on ands so forth. It was making my Hubbie jealous. He was standing right there! I am very overweight. I have health problems too. It did not make sense. I had my Toddler in the cart and a Husband roaming around the isles with me! My Husband and I tried our best to figure out why men were so attentive and flirtatious toward me And Blind toward HIM!!!! Was it how I dressed? How I act? WE had to figure this out!!!! We tried an experiment. I wore Black slightly baggy pants, and a black Astros t shirt that covered me past my hiney, and cross trainers PROBLEM SOLVED. I even wear long shorts sometimes with my Astro shirts. Men really don't notice me anymore. Be a sport- fan? or at least appear to be one? I have NO idea what the Astros are up to anyway. I just got the t shirt on sale at Wal-Mart. lol Hey, there you go...cheaper cloths bill!!! long big T shirts, baggy pants and below the knee shorts. Get a state park pass while you are at it!...lol I got one, and it has payed for itself already. I suggest singles avoid the Television, any mall, electronics section of stores, or late night hangout scene. Travel the road less traveled. and you will find travelers to travel with. Yeah, you solve alot of the problem with immodesty and Lust right there. I think Mrs. Mark is on to something.

The worldly mindset has influenced much of the church, much to the shame of the church. We (those who are Christians) still have a sinful nature that struggles against the working of the Holy Spirit, causing the war between the flesh and the spirit; we know what we ought to do according to the Bible, but until we die or are raptured, we will be in the battle. Paul deals with it in Romans 7:14-25. Reminders are good for us. We ladies have a duty toward our Christian brothers to do what is in our power - through modest dress and carriage - not to provoke lust in them. We will be held accountable for our deeds here on earth. Personally, I don't want to have be ashamed before the Lord if He asks on Judgment Day why I purposefully dressed or acted a certain way to provoke lust in men! That is not to negate a man's responsibility before God not to lust. If we ladies dress and act provocatively, it's like setting candy out before a three-year-old and commanding him not to taste it or even look at it. Rather than teasing and tempting him with it, why not hide the candy?

Some people are taking this very seriously and are finding it helpful. I'm not saying that you have to agree with it, but maybe you shouldn't post your feelings so strongly. That is just my opinion and I am in no way judging you for thinking that this survey is ridiculous.

I'm curious as to what men think about different maternity fashions, such as: the tight tops that look like they're painted onto a mother's growing abdomen; or wearing a normal-size sweater or jacket buttoned only at the bust, causing it to drape over the tummy.

As it is now, if I have a question on modesty, I'll ask my husband what he thinks and what he presumes other men will think. I dress modestly - that is one point that attracted my husband - but this survey makes me wonder what men in our church and community think about some of the clothing I have. I'm starting to see my entire wardrobe in a different light. One thing I am sure of: if my husband REALLY, REALLY likes an outfit on me and drools when he sees me it, that outfit is definitely NOT one to wear in public!
