I have noticed a trend in the best couple of days, there has been a great hallabalu about modesty. And it has been interesting to me how a lot of the blog posts and articals I have been reading have been written by guys, I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I'm just saying that we as woman need to show the guys what we think of modesty. Or atleast what I think about it.
When I get dressed to go to a party or a dance, I want to wear what is most flattering and I look the prettiest in. Well one day I was getting ready and I was thinking about how none of the guys I know look at me, they always look at the hot girl, and I was thinking about how this "Hot Girl" dresses. She wears short skirts and a T-shirt, but the T-shirt is cut really low and shes not wearing an undershirt, and I was thinking "Why don't I dress like that?" First off my mom would kill me, second it goes ageast the teaching of my church, and thirdly I just dont want to.
When I thought about the kind of men she was attracting and how they were acting around her it made me sick. I dont want to be popular or hit on because of how short my skirt is, or how low my shirt is, I want to be popular because I dont dress like them.
I went to prom last year, and I made my dress like always, and I made sure that the end of the dress came below my knees, and I got a lot of compiments on my dress by guys. They all said "Thank you for one of the only modest girl here." A lot of poeple were dumb founded that I made my own dress.

| Night of prom, I made my dress and my friends. |
When I was getting ready for that dance or party and I was thinking about the "Hot Girl" I was think of the men I want to attract. I don't want a guy who only tries to stare down my shirt. I want a guy who encrouages me to dress modestly and respectfuly.
I lot of girls talk about how guys should learn to controle their minds and not think dirty of them, but its very hard to do that when I girl is flanting herself infront of them.
Girls should dress accourding to how they want a guy to treat them.
You see it many times in movies where a girl slaps a guy or a guy moves his rear view mirrow to look at a girls legs, and then the girl gets mad at him. She has no right to be mad if she is wearing a skirt that short. Because she is telling the guy to look, and then getting mad when he does.
Whenever I am around a girl not dressing modestly it makes my uncomfortable, it makes me want to go home and shower because I now feel gross just being around her. I understand its hard right now to find modest clothing, but that just means you arent looking hard enough. You can take a immodest shirt and make it modest, just add a nice t-shirt underneath or a tanktop. There are many ways to fix it.
I have given some thoughts on the matter of modesty, and I have a lot more to share, but I want to hear what you think, either a guy or girl. I want to know why you think people should dress more modestly.
