You know, the right thing is almost never the easy thing. The woman I am courting(my court-friend?) has told me numerous times that she was frustrated as a high school student because she tried to honor God and her brothers in Christ by dressing modestly and not being a manipulative flirt, and no one seemed to notice her. She would get mad because she would see the guys spending all their time talking to the girls with the visible cleavage, or the ones who where huge emotional teases, and none of them paid a whit of attention to her. Which is true, as I was one of the those guys.

Unfortunately, it’s like the wheel. How many people thought “hey, I could do that” after first guy invented the wheel? But how many of those same people just whined about how much it sucked to drag things through the mud, but let it stop at that, never looked for a better way of doing things until it was handed to them?

You’ve got a rare young man in your ministry Noel, and hopefully there is an equally rare young women who can be role models of how to do the whole “guy/girl thing,” and show them how to do it right.

What a great approach! This is truly wisdom, to see it from the perspective of both sexes, to recognize that all women are made in the image of God, even if they don’t measure up to the societal stereotype for beauty. Let’s stress the responsiblity of dudes and chicky babes in this quest. This is indeed a tough time to walk the wire and we each need to be aware and sensitive to the weakness of the other. (Romans 14 comes into play, I think).

That’s interesting stuff.

Although I still think attractive girls should be required to wear snowpants and parkas at all times…
