I especially loved the Modesty Survey!! I placed a link to it on two of my YouTube videos on modesty. Thanks so much. As a woman, I KNOW that we are responsible for how our brothers are tempted. Yes, they are responsible for how they respond to the temptation, but we are *first* responsible for doing the tempting! Thanks so much for this survey. It answered a lot of my own questions. I hope you can take the time to check out my modesty site: Modesty Becomes You. Awesome blog. I especially loved the Modesty Survey!! I placed a link to it on two of my YouTube videos on modesty.

I had NO idea that some of the things I wear are a stumbling block to guys. Although a few of my opinions differ, the survey still gave me a good insight into what thoughts I'm provoking and it has caused me to make a change in my wardrobe. I don't want to make guys stumble in their walk with God, I want to encourage them in their walk with God, and this survey has helped me to do that. Thank you. Alex and Brett,

It not only made me realize how modesty is so important in displaying God through our lives, but also with all the guys comments, it really helped me see that I can still be attractive without feeling like i have to be imodest. It made feel proud that I have a lot to offer my future spouse! and gave me insight to what christian guys look for in their future spouse as well:) thank you thank you!

"For the man is not of the woman; but the women of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." God doesn't call us to be politically correct, he calls us to obey him. I'm not saying that women are less valuable then men. Verse 11 in the same chapter says "Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord." What I'm saying is that women are pleasing to men and that men are pleasing to women. We have a responsibility to one another as brothers and sisters through Christ. When a women wears a bikini (one of the many things that almost all of the men said caused them problems) she is causing her brothers to stumble. And I'll remind y'all that we girls ASKED for this. We want to know what hurts them. And we thank them for being honest!

Or on the other hand, I HATE it when guys scan their eyes all over me, undress me in their mind, and then decide that I'm not hot enough for them or worthy of their attention. How dare they treat me as nothing more than an object, and constantly try to steal my gift to my husband! All this just to say, thank you soooooo much to all the men who are NOT like this, who are trying to keep their minds pure for their wife! I am trying my best not to be a stumbling block, please try your best not to stumble; remember that just as I cannot understand how difficult it is for you not to lust, so you cannot understand how degrading it is to be lusted after.

It has really helped me understand a little better the minds of men and what they think about how I dress. :-) I am going to prom this spring and will use these responces to try to find a modest prom dress! Thanks for all of the work you are doing for the Lord! I, and many, many other teens I know, appreciate it! <3 Megan Thank you guys sooo much for this survey!

This is a big stance, and I am glad you are making it. I am a 16 year old girl, and I am exposed to the pressure and image of being immodest and seductive. But still, it shocks and discusts me! When my pastor went from regular college to a Christian college, he was sorely disipointed and a bit shocked himself when the women there dressed no different from his former experience. It is definately, (the subject of modesty,) something that offends, rebukes, and can encourage. Thanks again! I will be happy to put a link from my blog to here, for my struggling sisters to read. I do what I can to help my sisters in Christ, and leave the rest up to the Holy Spirit. Sincerely in Christ, M < Thank you so much! This is a big stance, and I am glad you are making it.
