What do people think about modesty?

Answer 1

Modesty, in dress and attitude is actually very sexy. I wouldn't be anything but modest in the way I dress. A little mystery is hot. A modest attitude keeps someone from being snobbish and haughty, thinking they're the best at everything---we're all the best at something!

Answer 2

There is what most people think about modesty in this country. Then, there is what I think. I think most people (especially of the last two generations) don't care much about modesty, or if they did, they have let society "norms" overrule their good judgement. I believe modesty shows how much you respect yourself. Clothing, or lack of, immediately gives people a first impression. It will attract or repel certain people, depending on how you dress. Boys date girls who are silly, stupid and immodest. Real men date women who are smart, caring, funny, and someone they respect. If you are looking to date for one night stands and guys you know will tell you what you want to get into your pants, start with the immodesty. You want a real man to to treat you right? You need to do the other. By the way, dressing modestly does not mean dressing like a prude. Just look around at women you admire - you'll catch on.
Dressing modestly is what attracted my husband to me. 16 years and two children later - we're going strong!

Answer 3

If you are talking about modesty in the way a woman dresses, I think guys appreciate it and that there isn't quite enough of it out there. Now don't get me wrong - if you have a nice body, there is nothing wrong with showing it off. But it is even more sexy (and I've been told this by a LOT of guys) to not show everything off. And it is certainly possible to dress sexy without giving the world a peep show.

Answer 4

if you are referring to modesty of character, I think that a modest amount of modest is ideal. A haughty individual is certainly not attractive, but an overly modest person comes across and too reserved and removed and often time inaccessible. If you are referring to modesty of dress, again, I feel the same way. A flashy wardrobe is a bit much, but one too concerned with covering is again someone who is not quite comfortable in their own skin. When it comes to modesty, be sure to be modest.

Answer 5

Modesty is that Virtue of a person wherein he or she is being humble, down to earth, and practical. It keeps one away from being pompous, being a liar, and blowing ones own trumpet, Modesty is an asset. and I love your avtar, If you are anyways close to it by 75% then I think you are worth going to war for, dont mind taking on the US and Uk to get you, LOL I am still being Modest.

Answer 6

I prefer modesty. But that is due to my culture and family traditions. They city of San Diego I grew up in was very open to what my family considers lewd. I raise my little girl to be modest but smart. I am honest to her and I don't hide the world from her. That is how my family raises the females in my culture. Being parts asian, native american, and european I grew up valuing the individual more the the external body. For in all my cultural upbringing we note the being modest is highly saught trait in a companion.
As for other forms of modesty I find it rare these days to find true modesty as in the older villages I travelled to visit my relatives around the world. In those regions I found to appreciate true modesty. Because modest persons held great respect from the others in those villages, and cities. But that is only one part of the trait. Modesty has to be balanced with the other values. one has to live by there beliefs. And the true modest persons never judged others. They just spoke when asked their opinions never pushing things but their words meant alot to those around them. They were and are humble. Even the few rich families I met in my travels lived modest lives. I know of only three here in the US the closest is in the Midwest but because they wish it I can't state there family name. They have social influence, polical voice, and money. Yet they live in a two bedrrom house in a state that starts with an "I". All of the children went or are going to public schools, and almost all of their profits go back to their city and county. Yet, they are quiet and look just like us. That is a rare thing to find in a family worth 8-digits these days.
I hold those kind of modest people in the most highest regard and take most of what they say as justified opinions. That is a term he used when I was being taught by one of that family's members in college, before finding out his lineage. Yet everyone of us on campus thought of him as a geeky business professor. Until we saw a documentory and his father was being interviewed.
That modesty I saw in those years was truly something to take in. A man who advised a region during the cold war, and had family members who have advised the presidents since the Lincoln administration, was also the same family that everyone in that town sat with and had coffee with every weekend. They never bragged about their status and they never flaunted their money. They have a mansion that they never stayed in but donated to the state. I love that form of modesty and so did all around the town. Everyone respected that they wanted to life normal live and didn't ask stupid questions like how much do they have exactly because they respected us and lived as we do. I think most cultures feel the same way about modesty when you experience in its true form.
