Now, you and I both know that a v-neck is much more flattering than a rounded neck on a shirt. But the v doesn't have to come to the navel, right?

Wise man! The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. It is also the beginning of knowledge and understanding. The fear of man bringeth a snare!

Probably so, but being a strong force in that culture, I wonder how in the world they could turn that around?

I agree to a certain extent. I was talking to my son about the men at his workplace as I have heard a lot of stories - just a lot of flirting and they don't care who is married or not. Fortunately, he has moved to a better unit. He said, "Yea, most of the guys don't care what the woman looks like, just as long as they can have sex."

That's why a woman can call a man a dog, more than the other way around, IMO. I have seen what my son is saying as true, while most women are more particular. Of course, you have a few women who are not particular, but generally, they are.

My wife (nurse) can tell you about how women at work place go bananas over a man coming to work on the floor.

All men, any man? Really? I've never seen a load of women fall apart over just any man walking through the door. Maybe I've just been out of circulation for too long.

Re: Modesty Myth

There was a male coworker who had the ladies going nuts over him that had upmost respect for my wife and treated her different because of how she carried herself and presented herself.

While men should respect all women a respectable women makes it alot easier to do so. goes both ways
