Admin	crossing the line Posted : 3 Nov, 2010 10:55 AM At what point does a woman's picture cross the line? Where is the line? How much leg is too much? How tight is too tight? How about those short, strapless dresses I keep seeing in pictures that are really not covering the woman much more than if she just had a towel wrapped around her? And are there certain poses that are provocative and should be avoided? Certain facial expressions? I've had a few guys tell me that my pictures are provocative, but could never get any details out of them as to what in particular was so provocative, especially since they only show my face... But I suppose provocativeness is more than just showing off skin. At what point for you does a woman's pictures become a temptation? How can us gals avoid tempting you with our pictures? Post Reply
View Profile History	crossing the line Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 02:20 AM Q: At what point does a woman's picture cross the line? Where is the line? Response: This is a tough question & I don't think there is an easy answer. Lust is kinda like a guy's tolerance with alcohol. After a certain point, he goes from appreciating alcohol to abusing it/getting drunk. He has to know when he's reached his limit. With pictures of women, men have to know when they're being tempted to think wrong thoughts and back away from viewing pictures. The tolerance level will vary. Q: How much leg is too much? How tight is too tight? Response: If a female is wearing a pair of shorts & the shorts are pretty much void of legs, they're probably too short. I'm personally not affected by tight pants/shorts; but shorts with very little leg can be frustrating. If a woman is wearing a tight t-shirt or other thin/light fabric that shows/defines all her curves, that draws my attention & becomes frustrating. Q: How about those short, strapless dresses I keep seeing in pictures that are really not covering the woman much more than if she just had a towel wrapped around her? Response: The strapless dresses I've seen go from the chest down to at least the thighs. If she's got assets & is allowing them to be exposed, and the dress is tight(which usually seems to be the case), I find them frustrating & overboard. Q: And are there certain poses that are provocative and should be avoided? Response: There are 2 types of pictures(poses?) that really bug me. First are the ones where the female points the camera down at herself so you see her face & her chest. She's wearing a shirt with a low collar line on it so part of her chest becomes clearly visible. The other type that bugs me is when she's by a pool or on a beach wearing a scanty bathing suit. I've also seen a few pictures where women seem to intentionally swing/shift their pelvis a little strongly to the left or right. Why can't they just stand straight? Q: At what point for you does a woman's pictures become a temptation? How can us gals avoid tempting you with our pictures? Response: Unfortunately, guys tolerance and "resistance" level is going to vary, so there is probably no real definite answer on this. If I was dating and my girlfriend asked me the questions your asking, I'd give a few general thoughts: -If you feel concerned that it's too short, add a few more inches & it should be alright. -If it's really snug & leaves nothing to the imagination, it's not a good idea. -If your assets are visible(eg - crack in chest), it's not a good idea. You've asked some good questions, Pixy. It's a nice change of pace to see someone striving to help prevent guys from stumbling. Post Reply
SOS4EMAILFRIEND View Profile History	crossing the line Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 01:54 PM :excited: This is a dating site....(not a church) The function of the picture is to attract or even entice CURIOSITY In fact the picture of the profile, is the song a person sings to attract and entice, and it is very telling about a person. Some sing by exposing their body parts, others by concealing.... Crossing the line is, in my opinion, posing what you are not, where you start to deceive yourself in suggesting an illusion which is not even near the real you. I have never seen Pixy without her glossing lips but somehow I feel that she still will be very much Pixy.... if you cannot not discern that, perhaps you should reconsider your membership on a dating site all together. :rolleyes: Post Reply

Check it out with Him...if you're in good conscience about what you're wearing, about what you're putting on your lips, about your picture, about your motivation and intentions...then you have your answer. If you still have questions, then seek wise council from someone you know, trust and respect. A woman would tie herself in knots if she catered to the opinion of every christian man that crossed her path or looked at her profile. Modesty is a heart issue, and the answers are right there in your heart. Post Reply

View Profile History	crossing the line Posted : 5 Nov, 2010 03:06 PM I also want to say to you Pixy that you have some nice pics on your profile:applause::applause::applause::applause: !on the part on what the guys are saying about the ladies taking pics at a certian angle,i just want to say that the ladies have to be very careful with this. I suggest that you ask someone else take your pictures instead.If for some reason you do not want none of your friends or anyone in your family to know about you being on a dating site fo now,then be very careful when you're taking them with you reflection in the mirror or when you lift your cellphone in front of you.I have also noticed that women who have pics of themselves on their profile with either their cleavage showing,wearing tights& miniskirts, a picture of their butt & those who are wearing swimwear are much higher in the favourite rating section between 16 to even 50 members than those who are just showing thier face or wearing a longer dress or skirt!I just want to say to those ladies that they should do this litte test: change their pics to less revealing wear & if the favourites have gone down a little bit or guys are messaging them less than before, then they should see who was intersted in the first place.

View Profile History	crossing the line Posted : 6 Nov, 2010 10:16 AM Thanks for the compliment. You've offered a good suggestion here too: When women cover up more in their pictures, they're likely to filter out some of the guys who only enjoy looking at their profiles for "the view," and will be better able to know who genuinely likes them.
