A friend sent me the link to this survey. It is a survey of guys, ages 12 and up, on modesty. It is really quite interesting to get the male perspective. I think it can be especially useful to discuss with our daughters how Christian guys view modesty.

Take a look!

I'm glad you posted it, Molly. I didn't think about that when I received the survey.

Oh my goodness- these poor guys, especially the teen age boys! Some of their responses are just too funny (even though I fully realize they are not meant to be). Ex: the poor 15 yr old who wrote about fish net stockings (I think it was): AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I'm laughing, but it's also making me realize what a struggle it is for boys and men to see women immodestly dressed. I know that it distracts me to see a girl in a strapless dress or microskirt in church on Sunday- now I am realizing how extremely disruptive it is for all the males. Reading what they have to say has been an eye-opener for me.
