Maybe, but again to me once "sexy" crosses a line toward being "offensive" it is no longer sexy. So I would never use those two words to describe the same person at the same time.

And God DID grant some people assets above and beyond what He granted others. There are a few women here who would have to wear a snowmobile suit to not be distracting.... does that mean they are obligated too?

Oh how I miss Rhoni in some of these discussions. LOL

I did assume you meant at your work.

CC1 would have most of us here wearing blue denium wear.

There is a HUGE difference between attractiveness and sexy. Attractive is not inappropriate.... sexy is inappropriate anywhere in public and offensive.

While I think it is possible to split some hair when talking definitions, I don't believe their is a huge difference between the two..... Not even a "medium" difference.

Re: So Sexy Isn't Offensive?

But folks... you can't deny that our society has become way to inmodest and casual.

Over this past weekend, my youngest neice graduated from University of Chicago with high honors. Yes it was hot in Chicago on Saturday, and yes the ceremonies were outside.... but there are ways to be appropriate for the weather and not look like prostitues... male and female alike.

At a prestigious school... and very nice event, there were girls there in tops that look like the old halter top with skirts so short you could almost see their hallelujah hoo-ha.

Guys there in shorts...at a graduation.... and tank tops.

I don't expect the world to look like the church, but our society has gotten way too casual..... it really bothers me.

yea how much leg did the men show when they girded up their tunics??

I dont have a issue with decent length shorts or tank tops. why is that considered immodest? There is a difference now if the shorts are so short that when they sit down there privates hang out.. yea immodest.

Again, I beg to differ. Part of the problem is semantics. Your equating "sexy" with immodesty -and we would probably even disagree on the definition of immodesty in most cases.

But here is am example of what I am trying to describe. I believe this girl IS attractive, modest AND sexy. Do you disagree? What should she do to change her appearance if she is too sexy for you?
