I was listening to this gentleman on how women should respect themselves instead of degrading themselves which a lot of them are doing more than ever because they are desperate to get a man in their life. Experience has taught me when you are a woman that is modest you get some more respect depending on the individual but,I do agree that people have the right to dress the way they want yet it does not mean I am going to respect them because I go by what was stated in 1 Timothy 2 versus 9 and 10: 9 Likewise, the women should adorn themselves in appropriate dress, with modesty and soundness of mind, not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive clothing, 10 but in the way that is proper for women professing devotion to God, namely, through good works.
I also am a believer of 1 peter 3 versus 3 & 4 which go on to state : 3 Do not let your adornment be external-the braiding of hair and the wearing of gold ornaments or fine clothing- 4 but let it be the secret person of the heart in the incorruptible adornment of the quiet and mild spirit, which is of great value in the eyes of God.
Furthermore the versus written at Proverbs 11:22: Like a gold ring in the snout of a pig is a beautiful woman who rejects good sense.
Presence does matter because numerous image consultants state that in 15 seconds people judge you based on how a person looks, so when you are not dressed appropriate you are not going to attract the people that you want for many reasons. It is important to keep a list of rules on dress, grooming, and hygiene.
An individual whom is modest is concerned about not needlessly offending others and not drawing undue attention to themselves but, soundness of mind results in discretion or good judgement so, they would display qualities that has balance that results from respect for godly standards which include dressing in an attractive manner but, helps them to be sensible in their appearance and to avoid extravagant styles of dress and grooming.
In addition it also helps keeping people from making unwanted advances towards a person so, if one dresses with modesty and soundness of mind they are not going to be targeted by sexual predators. In addition not flirting is another options when dealing with sexual predators.
I do not find breast to be offensive but, the way that a person dresses can be at times so, association with those whom follow the media looks can kiss any chance of associating with me goodbye. I don't approve of such degrading things.
