Modesty is over-rated.
_______________
Now that depends on what you want. If you’re a romantic who has eternally bonded with his elfin princess, I think public modesty a must.
Seems like every town has a Chinese restaurant named "Yung Ho" or "Yung Ling."
If you need decent swimwear for them, try the vintage category on ebay. Lots of pretty and modest items. Not like the spandex, hi-cut, thonglike garbage they sell now. I’ve got an excellent figure but I wear swimsuits with ruffles or little skirts, and get all the attention I can handle and even that doesn’t filter out all the leers.
It’s also kind of sad that women don’t wear hats and gloves anymore.
And of course in the winter, a big furry hand muff is a fine place to keep a gun. :D
Oh, by the way — teach them how to sew. It’s fun, rewarding, and when you can sew you can wear exactly what you want!
You’re so right! That’s absolutely disgusting!
I’ll just save that pic to remind myself of what modesty is not....
Basic common sense about avoiding occasions of sin and the appearance of scandal looks puritanical to the malformed. But after a dozen into adulthood, I've witnessed adulterous affairs and children conceived out of wedlock among otherwise good Catholics who talk like cads and whores and take no precautions against their own weaknesses.
Don't worry, if what I've heard about the 1970s is true, things are already improving.
I saw a very handsome man running yesterday afternoon. Marvelous physique. The first thing that occurred to me was,
“It’s 1 o’clock. Doesn’t he have a job?”
The sorry fact is that humans are biologically programmed, just like every other animal. Men look at women like lions look at gazelle. And women need to advertise their body shape to attract men.
But this is just a starting point. Girls have no manual that tells them how to attract the boys they want to attract, so relying on what their parents and peers tell them, and in the absence of common sense, they tend to overdo it.
And as far as boys go, they act like your basic chimpanzees in the best of circumstances.
I remember just a few years ago when somebody coined the term “prosti-tot” because of the clothing that came out at that time making very young girls look like prostitutes.
I think it is a matter of competition for men’s attention by women. They think the less they wear the more men will give their undivided attention to them.

Good book. If you have daughters, don’t count on school to teach them these things.
She’s probably laid a lot of pipe.
Yes. I work nights. :)
:D
“Every time I walk through the mall I feel this stab of pain in my gut. It also happens in Target, Wal-Mart, the doctor’s office, the grocery store; it even happens in church.”
