And how! I'd rather see an attractive shapely woman in a dress suit or a sweater/jean outfit than in some tube top. I have a good imagination...so let me use it!


I have a healthy appreciation for both. Variety is the spice of life. Finding someone attractive does not mean you're committing adultery in your heart. Now if you mentally undress them in great detail then.....yeah.


What if I mentally dress them up instead?

Then you've got an interesting career in fashion design ahead of you!

I think one can be attractive without emphasizing chest, legs, and butt. I mean, can one be modest and yet have an incredibly cute face? Perfect eyebrows, smooth skin, nice hair, pretty eyes, and wonderful lips. Well, maybe there is some sexual aspects to the face being attractive, but I've never heard the church tell women they should cover up their faces so as to be modest.

I think a voice can also be a very attractive part of a person.

The most attractive thing for me is brains, but then I'm hardly normal. I'd hate it if women were modest in the brains department. I'd feel way too deprived.

Well, I don't think I could make a career out of cosplay. Also, lavendar has never been my favorite color. I do like some shades of violet, but usually I only see it on the morning dew acting as a prisom for sunlight.

They're supposed to be modest in the brain: http://www.glumbert.com/media/women

I disagree though. Nothing makes me more interested in a girl then her brain.

Her blood might be a close second. If I become undead I want all my bases covered just in case I become a vampire instead of a zombie.

Yes! I think suits and snug turtlenecks (in winter) are incredibly attractive on women. When I first started my divorce proceedings I went out and bought various "sexy" clothes. I never wore them out of the house! I felt so "nude"! I must be a prude!!! :)


I heart turtlenecked women.

"Attractive" and "sexy" don't have the same connotations. And being well-dressed, wearing make up, doing one's hair, etc., aren't the same as accentuating the things you're supposedly trying to get men to not think about!

I do think there are more and less tasteful ways to highlight one's sexual attractiveness, but I also see a double-mindedness to many of the attempts to be sexily 'modest.'

Brain covers both my friend. As a closeted vamp myself I can say that smart girls are much sweeter to the taste. The finest vintages are those with brains and passion.

I don't know that I want men to think one thing or another with the way I dress. I've been in flip flops, baggy jeans, and t-shirts and had guys whiplash.

That's their deal. Not mine...
