08.29.03 - 7:42 pm A few weeks ago, I was thanked by one of my male friends for dressing modestly. Although it meant heaps to me then, I had no idea what kind of impact it would continue to have on my life. I honestly believe that guys should do this sort of thing more often. There is no hiding the fact that we females go out of our way to get compliments. I know I’ve hoped, waited for, and clung to the times I'd be called "hot." It wasn't until I got this more genuine compliment that I realized why that flattery meant so much to me. Ultimately, it's because it wasn't until I heard those words that I realized what I wanted the most: to simply be noticed. Seeing as how I didn’t get to choose my body shape, being complimented on something I’ve never done anything for really doesn’t seem fair. Also, I absolutely love believing that I can make someone’s life better or easier, and because of that, I’m more than willing to go out of my way to make sure I’m covered up not too tightly. I’ve heard it said that the way this world is set up can destroy Christian men, and I cannot help but agree. You can’t even watch commercials these days without getting an eyeful of something provocative. I can’t imagine what that’d be like with testosterone in my blood... I struggle enough with it all as it is. Anyhow, I just want guys to realize that if they’ll just compliment a few for good things, more and more girls will follow suit. We don’t really want to be trashy; we really just want to be made to feel like we exist. And really, I know plenty of gals would love to help you make it through life without a numbed heart. Please, give us incentive. I know I need some on this hill... "While Satan's sexual advertizing campaign is in full-blown heavy rotation, believe me when I tell you that sex is not the way to attract or catch someone worthy of your life. If you cannot attract someone with your heart and mind then your body will not be able to hold them for long. Remember that a whoremonger will attract a whoremonger. A prince is looking for a princess." ~Holly Virden
