My apologies for the two pictures in this article. I didn’t even notice that they had a strapless top in each them. Thanks to the ladies who informed me of them. Like I said, I didn’t even notice, and most of the time I write these articles in the wee hours of the morning, so if I miss anything please let me know ok??
I never really thought about guys and modesty before I started getting older. And I never really realized how important it is to be modest. Ecspecially around guys. Know some of you girls might say “Well, it’s their problem. If they can’t control themselves, then it’s THEIR problem.” WRONG!

Girls that dress immodestly around guys will not have respect from guys. And as a female, you want guys to respect you.
Now, I will give you this, sometimes it doesn’t matter what you wear around guys. It’s true that some guys DO have problems and they can’t control themselves (I know take it from me!), but for 95% of guys respect girls that dress modestly. Here is what some guys say about modesty:

Question #1- Do You Respect a Modestly Dressed Girl More Then A Immodestly Dressed Girl?
“I respect a modestly dressed girl SO much! It shows so much of their inner character, strength to fight the culture, and care for their brothers!” age 16…..
“I hold girls who dress modestly with so much more respect, because they chose to stand alone.” age 16
“God requires me to respect everyone as someone created by God but beyond that, respect must be earned.” age 21
“No question. It’s hugely unattractive if a girl dresses immodestly; even more so if she acts immodestly. It honestly repulses me.” age 17
“Immodesty says, “take me to bed, it won’t cost you anything.” Modesty says, “respect me, win my heart, protect me.” age 23
“Modesty may not always receive the most attention, but it does receive the most respect.” age 25
“Especially a Christian girl – non-Chrisians have no reason to dress modestly but our sisters in Christ have a responsibility!” age 18
“Sure! When a girl who claims to be a Christian is dressing immodestly she has automatically lost most of my respect. I think that she either has not read the scriptures and seen that God requires modesty, or does not care, or has found a way to rationalize her clothing. She is also either clueless about how her clothing affects men or does not care. This may sound harsh, but I have very little respect for a woman who is any of the above. (As a parenthetical remark, for a new believer I give a hair of grace. But the longer she waits to change her dressing habits, the less respect I have for her.) Conversely, I have great respect for a woman that dresses modestly; she is obeying her LORD, showing love to her brothers, and standing against the wickedness in our culture.” age 16

Question #2- Modesty is an important quality for your future wife to have?
“It is absolutely my very first criteria. Immodestly dressed ladies are the first people I eliminate as possibilities.” age 21
“It is one of my chief qualites because it reveals a lot about her character. Does she want to be known as a hot girl or a godly lady?” age 23
“Modesty is not just an issue of clothes, it also has to do with the heart and the woman’s walk with God. A girl who dresses modestly is showing that her heart is right, and that is the kind of woman I intend to marry someday.” age 16
“There is a difference between paranoid modesty, or external (not from the heart) modesty, and true attractive modesty. I want my wife to know the difference, not out of legalism, but out of strong character. =)” age 17
“If she’s using that kind of bait to hook you, why would she stop after catching her first fish?” age 40-49
“The fact that my wife has saved so much of herself for me is really special. While we were getting to know each other her modestly let me know she was serious about bringing every area of her life in submission to Christ and that she cared about me and my spiritual growth.” age 30
“I don’t want my wife dressing as if she is trying to give herself away to every guy that looks at her. I want her to dress, even before I know her, as a woman who is a precious object that must be won through pure and genuine love, not lust.” age 21
“I don’t want a wife who lacks Christian morals and is immodest, but I don’t want a wife who dresses like a nun. I want a wife like my girlfriend who dresses tastefully, but in style.” age 18
“YES I am drawn more towards a girl that dresses modestly” age 21
“Modesty safeguards purity, and that is of monumental importance to me for my future wife.” age 17
“No girl even gets considered unless she is actively striving for modesty.” age 16

Question #3- Despite rampant immodesty all around us, girls who choose to dress modestly do make a difference-
“They distinguish themselves, the very thing the immodest girls are trying to do. All girls have curves. To a guy looking for more than that, showing curves doesn’t tell him anything new. He knows your a girl, he wants a lady.” age 30
“The girls who dress modestly make a difference because they stand out above the girls who dress immodestly. I am encouraged in my spiritual life to remain pure whenever I see a modestly dressed girl.” age 19
“They provide “hope” for single guys who are looking for girls with high standards. They help, even if only to a small degree, steer popular culture in the right direction. They allow guys to enjoy their friendship without the distractions that accompany immodest dress.” age 24
“If only there were more.” age 16
“It’s a breath of fresh air. I remember being on a beach amidst a sea of bikinis, and my eyes fixated on the gal in a t-shirt and trousers. What can I say? She was the attractive one!” age 21
“It shows that not everyone has bought the hype and that some girls prefer to be appreciated for their entire person instead of just their body.” age 18
“Please continue. Never stop. You do make a difference, if only to one person, there is a difference.” age 18
“Whenever I see a modest girl in a crowd, I can easily pick her out and I, as well as others (whether they realize it or not), show her more respect. And it seems that girls searching for God would be more likely to turn to a modestly dressed confessing Christian girl than one that looks no different than every other girl.” age 16
“They make a huge difference! Modest girls provide a consistent example of Biblical truth to a fallen world, and are lights of purity in the gloom of modern fashion. Stand against culture, be women of “sturdy virtue”, live for God, and the world will be speechless.” age 17
“In today’s immodest culture, the girl that really stands out among the rest is the modest one, the one that dresses differently.” age 16
“Modestly dressed girls show their fear and love of God while helping their brother in his fight. What an amazing faith-validating and love-confirming message!” age 30
“Girls who dress modestly are a breath of fresh air in the midst of the immodesty all around. It’s something like seeing a rare bird. Beautiful and exciting!” age 21
Taken from the Rebelution Modesty survey….

SEE? It’s not just me saying this! Tons of guys agree! They respect girls that dress modestly SO much more! Even non-christian guys do! You may not be getting any attention by dressing modestly, but you do gain the respect from young men. In the long run which do you want more? Respect or attention?
