FlyinHigh View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 25 Dec, 2010 04:06 PM Why is it some people think it is okay to wear revealing clothing on a christian site? For me I think you are advertising your body instead of your mind. A man that follows the word doesn't want a woman who is overly vain and overtly sexual, it is a turn off to me, how does everyone else feel about revealing clothing? Cheers Fly Post Reply

View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 04:47 AM rainbowian is right. I believe most young women who know Jesus usually dress modestly, because not only do they want to please God; their heart dictates their actions. The girls who dress in a seductive manner and think it will attract men to them are going to attract the wrong kind of man. But that's the way of the world! God Bless, Deborah Post Reply
FlyinHigh View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 07:51 AM But who are we to say who is Christian and who is not? Do you think some people have a distorted view on what it is to follow the laws of Christianity or are they pretending to be something they are not? Why do you think non Christians would come here to meet good honest Christian folk? Post Reply
View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 08:45 AM FlyinHigh, There are a lot of desperate and lonely people in this world who will try to meet someone in any setting they can. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know a Christian woman won't be posing in a sexual manner; exposing cleavage,etc. If she is then she needs to get on her knees and find out what God's plan for her life is; and we need to pray, pray, pray for her. Does it shock you that all the men on this site aren't Christians either? I'm sure you're not that naive and have just posted this thread to get people's different views? As for my own preference, I want my future wife to dress modestly. Some of these profiles make me think they're just attention seekers who would stop at nothing to snag a husband------ be he Christian or not!:excited: chevy Post Reply
FlyinHigh View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 08:58 AM Just call me fly chevy and everyone else too! Yes I am making conversation but at the same time I find it disrespectful for people not following the faith to come to a site for Christians and advertise. Truth is if you are strong in the faith you are not that lonely and can come here and make great friends with other like minded people. Is there anyone who feels they are strong in the Christian faith that dresses provocatively? Cheers Fly Post Reply

View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 05:20 PM Well,Mr FlyHI (i hope you do'nt mind brother),I always noticed that myself,but this is what you do:If you're interested in a lady here,but she dress inappropiate,then after a long while of getting to know her,you should introduce it to her some later time.If she like that you've told her,then that is a good girl to talk to.If she says then that you're a judgemental person,then you know in a way what knd of person who she is.YES,to see those pics of girls in a mini-skirt or a bikini,i usually pass by those profiles,but sometimes,people deserves a chance,just as the Father did when He sent His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins on the Cross.

FlyinHigh View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 08:47 PM No worries Brother, just call me Fly, I would tend to skip people wearing revealing clothing. Just not the type of woman I am interested in, unfortunately I married one of those once and have learned my lesson, the lesson is I'll take a Christian woman strong in her faith over anything else.:winksmile: With a God centered home there are no worries, no jealousies, no vanity and the mutual respect I want. Cheers Fly PS. Thank you for those that posted and left your Ideas, I hope we get more! Post Reply
Elisa View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 26 Dec, 2010 10:56 PM For the record, I totally agree. However, to play the devil's advocate, there is another side to the issue. Bikinis and such, no, cleavage, yes. If a woman is amply endowed and does not know how to sew, fashion today can be a bit trying. Many of the blouses are immodest. For some reason, the designers think ladies want a neckline that shows their bellybutton. I work with kids and am always leaning over desks to help them. This can create a bit of a situation. Unless I want to wear turtlenecks year round, I can either spend a fortune or sew. Alterations sometimes alleviate the problem. Other times, it is easier to just start from scratch. This month I needed a new dress for some semi-formal events. The dresses I could find were cut so low, with such high hemlines, I thought the hemline and neckline were going to pass each other. One dress was so tight...well, my slips leave more to the imagination. I gave up trying and just sewed up something that met my standards. Maybe the pendulum will swing back towards modesty soon. One can hope. Post Reply
View Profile History	Clothing and self respect Posted : 27 Dec, 2010 04:08 AM Modest clothing (for a girl/woman) is about the hardest thing to find in our culture today. And I know for the younger females, the clothes that tend to be modest are "grandma clothes" and no one wants to wear them! My mom is not a fan of going clothes shopping with me because I am "so picky". Maybe some Christian women have not been convicted of the way that they dress, so they continue to dress the way everyone else does. Everyone is at a different place in their walk with God. And maybe these women don't have any strong Christian men around them to lovingly confront them about this issue with them, or the men are not brave enough to do this. Those are just some possibilities. Post Reply
