Should Women Dress More Modestly? by raphy(m): 8:33pm On Oct 27, 2006
regardless of religion,race or nationality should women across the world
think carefully about the cloth they wear?
do you agree? does wht women wear in the 21st century show a decline in moral standards?
does it harder for men to behave properly?
or does this attitude belong to a long- gone age?

Yes, we should be more modest.

Everyone has the right to wear what they want.#
But for safty reasons she should make sure she is not alone when she wears some kind of things.
There are some cloths my daughter will wear i will only allow it if her bf is with her or when she gets a car.

Lets let women decide what they want to wear, but never let the clothes deceive you :-)

I have met many women who dress in skimpy clothing who are nothing but dick teasers, then I have also met many women who dress modestly who are sex goddesses in bed cheesy

Oga Reverend, I should believe a person of your Spiritual status should not be going around looking at women. And besides, since you already have a wife, how come this:

How did you meet them, where? outside your matrimonial home?

I believe you were not referring to an experience in virtual-reality!!!! shocked shocked shocked

My answer:

The daily declining level of morality in the world generally, and the daily upsurge of immorality even among children of a very young age is the result of the woman throwing away her values, throwing away her place in the home and throwing away her dignity. Our mothers and grandmothers and the ones before them did not have all the problems we have nowadays. Gone are the days when a woman was a woman. Its a shame today, women are becoming girls - who don't know where they belong anymore.

I once asked a female colleague of mine, amongst other colleagues too, while discussing an issue in this line of thought a few weeks ago. I asked her: what would she do if she saw a man(a MAN not a gay) dressed up in a shirt, tie and trousers and if his trouser was so transparent that she(my colleague) could make out the color of what he had underneath, or make out the lines the underwear made with his butt and his trousers.

according to her, she would laugh and laugh because it would appear to her that the guy was out of his mind. So i told her, thats the way a lot of guys laugh and laugh when they see women(who are supposedly in their right mind) dress up as if they were nuts.

Before, unclothedness was a taboo. Now its fashion. When I see such immodestly dressed women, what crosses my mind is the word "prostitute". It doesnt matter the position they are in life, what they do, where they are or who they are.

My ideal: properly cover what should be covered. I do not believe that women need a seminar, need a pastor, need a church to tell/teach them to dress decently and in order, I mean, where is common sense and conscience?

NOTE: birds of the same feather will always flock together, so such half-naked dressed women would still have suitors - fans.

i think its important for women to dress modestly. but for different people modest dressing may slightly differ.
I think as long as they are comfortable with what they are wearing and its not offensive to others.
Re: Should Women Dress More Modestly? by dakmanzero(m): 5:05pm On Oct 30, 2006
@kimba

dude. Your analogy doesnt hold up.

Coquettry is the way of the woman. It is NOT the way of the man. So, the image of a man dressing 'indecently' does not in any way mirror that of the woman. Men walk the streets bare-chested and no-one bats an eyelid at them. Your 'transparent shirt' man wll be laughed at because he *looks like he's trying to imitate women.*

In any case, the best approach to women's dressing is, in my opinion, the 'expressway' approach. When driving in the city, you dont overspeed. When racing down the 3rd mainland, you dont crawl like a snail. A woman is decent as long as she remains around the median for dresing in her environment. Why? because the wannabe nuns will be labelled JUST AS BADLY as the ho-for-hire brigade.

In Iran, dress as the iranans do. In unilag, dress as the akokites do. sim-pull.

Re: Should Women Dress More Modestly? by Chinie(f): 10:14am On Oct 31, 2006
i think women should dress modestly not just for safety reasons but also for the impression or vibes u'ld pass on to people when u dress indecently.
Re: Should Women Dress More Modestly? by Chibabe1(f): 10:18am On Oct 31, 2006
Appearance is so important. It is your appearance( your dressing) that one sees first and judges one with it.


First impression matters in every aspect of life; so i urge women to dress modestly!


No man wants a woman who exposes herself for a wife!
Re: Should Women Dress More Modestly? by katherinae(f): 2:41pm On Oct 31, 2006

You said all Thoniaslim.
Women please dress in all modesty it tells a lot about you. Your unclothedness doesn't freak anyone.
Re: Should Women Dress More Modestly? by prettysly(f): 3:32pm On Oct 31, 2006
i guess is an individual stuff. but a decent girl and responsible girl would dress decently.
[i][/i][b][/b]a man would admire you even if you cover your whole boby you dont have to be naked for a man to admire you.
what matters is your heart
Re: Should Women Dress More Modestly? by Ronke2811(f): 3:35pm On Oct 31, 2006
FIRSTLY i think reverend or whatever he is should please for God sake drop his title and pick up something else, if he can gve such advise to the public i wonder what he will be preaching on the pulpit.
THE WAY YOU ARE DRESSED IS HOW YOU WILL BE ADDRESSED.
Of what use your wearing rag and walking half naked on the street, polluting the eyes of our innocent brothers and after they will go to the police and report RAPE.
I am a female i believe so much in dressing well and modest as well, they are some places called private in our bodies, i believe it was called private because it is not meant for public seeing or consumption so whatever is private should be private.
i want to advise the half naked ladies on the streets to go completely naked because that is the height of it , and i think no one has ever attain that position they fail to realise that MEN ARE MOVED WITH WANT THEY SEE.
funny enough if u see a naked man on the street pple cover their faces but once it is a naked woman the stare will be uncontrollable.
WE DONT ALL HAVE TO RUN MAD ALL IN THE NAME OF FASHION, FAME AND WHATEVER.

OK Mrs. 3 posts kiss

Women should be free to decide how they want to dress. I for one do not care. It is not the packaging that is important, but the goodies inside smiley
Re: Should Women Dress More Modestly? by chidexy(m): 7:28pm On Oct 31, 2006
what is modesty and who defines the threshold for modesty. What you call modesty in Nigeria might not be what it is in another nation. True the african woman tends to hide her body - and some need to do that for obvious reasons, but does covering oneself alone determines modesty?

If you are comfortable in what you wear, then it should be ok. If you are ogled, then, it has served the purpose. Which woman wouldn't want men to admire and compliment her dressing, whether skimply dressed or covered up ala Afghanistan ladies? Afterall, ladies dress to be seen by men.

I think african men should rather change their approach and perception to the way they treat ladies whose dressing doesn't follow the normal societal code.
