Reasons To Wear Modest Clothing

Bikini Facts That Will Probably Blow Your Mind

I was very impressed with this young lady's speech. It reminds me of a friend of mine and her business too. I was against girls and women wearing bikinis, and other immodest articles of clothing already, but this just cemented it in. Some of these facts were just appalling.

Reasons To Wear Modest Clothing --
Your Sensitive Side: "Brain scans showed that when men are shown pictures of scantily-clad screwdrivers and hammers lit up. Some men showed zero brain activity in the medial pre-frontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that lights up when one ponders a person's thoughts, feelings, and intentions... It's as if they are reacting to these women as if they are NOT FULLY HUMAN. It's consistent with the idea that they are responding to OBJECTS, not PEOPLE." It is built in to us ladies to want emotional connection with any future male companions. The way we dress definitely affects the way men think about us, and while some may think that it's the "only way to get a man" or some other such thing, and that they will come to a place of love and connection as a natural result of everything else, in reality all they will be doing is turning off the part of the brain that makes it possible. Wearing modest clothing and swimsuits actually makes men more biologically capable of connecting with you.

Empowerment: Modesty gives you status. When you set up boundaries and standards that you are willing to uphold in all situations, you will be seen as someone worth RESPECTING. "You will be seen as an EQUAL, in CONTROL, and be TAKEN SERIOUSLY." If a man doesn't respect you for your modesty, then he is not one you you should want to worry about anyway. "It seems the kind of power [women] are searching for is more attainable when they dress modestly."

It's Fashionable: Most women, especially in the younger crowd think that modesty means "I have to be frumpy, and dumpy, and out of fashion... and I imagine myself sitting alone in my living room, never going on another date ever again, and never getting married." And it's frustrating shopping once having made the decision to dress modestly, especially with swimwear, because everything in the store these days seems to be tailored to those who want to "tell everything about a girl except her mother's maiden name" or something my grandmother would wear. The truth is though, you can dress modestly without sacrificing fashion. The CLASSIEST, most TIMELESS, FASHIONABLE clothing of all time has been modest costumes. Nobody ever remembers the costumes and clothes that make girls look like tramps; they do remember the clothes that make female bodies look like ladies. "Modesty isn't about covering up our bodies because they're bad. Modesty isn't about hiding ourselves. It's about revealing our DIGNITY."

He Said So: The most important reason of all, is that God told us to carry ourselves in a way that would glorify Him. "We were made beautiful in His image and likeness." We shouldn't be afraid to display our femininity and beauty, but that doesn't mean giving our bodies away to others to receive gratification for it. The question isn't will you look BEAUTIFUL or UGLY; the question is how will you use your beauty?
