Re: Which is more important?
Well, I say heredity!

Oops, I mean "gender distinction". Care to make the usual wager?

How many here know who Christina Hendricks is? I could post a picture and you would know what I am talking about.....

Definitely distracting if someone (a guy -or even most women) had to be around them, errr, I mean "her" all day in a work or church situation. LOL

Modesty is more broad, and could include the other.

But the hypothetical. Why? What's your point? Where are you going with it?

I don't know! Sometimes, I just can't help myself.

But, if it came down to it, which of these is more important? Is it better to appear genderless (from what you wear, that is) or to look, ahem, overly "attractive" (to the opposite gender, that is)?
Tim-may!!!! Pay very close attention. My answer is at minutes 1:07 through 1:18!

I couldn't stop myself, although I did try - sort of.

I don't get it. Am I dumb? Or dumber?

Okay, I will cooperate. Genuine modesty produces the best gender distinction.
