And I think we should remember that we have a responsibility to help guys out in this area...even if they seem not to appreciate it. just want to say sorry if I was too harsh in that last comment…I think the others who commented are exactly right when they say that being jealous of immodest girls is a pride issue….that certainly played a role in my case.

Recently I really struggled with dressing modestly, all the guys went after the girls they thought were hot. And Satan was screaming at me, "You can look like that! You could attract their attention! Why not show off your goods--just a little." Thank God, I withstood the temptation, and I realized, do I really want a guy who is chases girls like that? The godly guys aren't going to be the ones in hot pursuit. Just a thought . . . and thanks for the encouragement. yeah, this is great.

It is such an encouragement to me!!! I want to dress in a God-honoring way, whether or not the young men around me appreciate it, but I gotta admit it's a lot easier when i don't have guy-friends around me talking about how pretty whatevergirl-wearing-a-skimpy-skirt is... Part of it is pride, I know... Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for posting this!!

Apparently in the Orthodox Jewish community, where women are encouraged to cover even their hair, the men purposely look away or down when addressing immodestly dressed women and end the conversation as soon as possible. They also avod being in the room alone with any woman. That seems extreme to me but I could see guys truly interested in perserving their hearts taking the same tack with immodestly dressed women. If enough quality guys behaved this way I think a lot of women would change the way they dress because they'd feel uncomfortable being avoided. Interesting.

I have been talking about this issue (Guys mostly paying attention to immodestly dressed girls) heaps recently with my mum and sisters as I have been quite hurt by some of my guy friends doing exactly that. I would like to really challenge you guys to do your best to honour the girls in your life that choose to dress modestly. It honestly isn't something that is easy to do, both emotionally and practically! I know that I would be SO blessed if my guy friends would come and treat me like I am worth their time even though I might not look 'hot'! I do agree with Abigail though, that us girls need to be content with who and what we are and be seeking to please God rather than gain attention from guys. :) That was really good..

It is always a comfort for Christian young women to feel that they are receiving attention not merely for their physical beauty but also for who they really are. Thank you for another encouragement in pursuing Christian purity both for guys and girls.

That is so encouraging. I know that I really appreciate it when a guy talks to me courteously and notices me as a person and sister in Christ. And it makes me respect those guys that are men enough to stand up for and encourage what is right. But even when that isn't the case we still have a wonderful Savior that never forgets us, and always remembers us. And that can be enough for us. A thankful sister in Christ Thank you!
