You're a woman. You don't allow yourself to be alone with guys, young old, married or single, you always have a woman with you. You never smile at them or look at them in the eye to prevent them from thinking you are flirting or want some sex when you never do. You never ride alone in a car with guys. You never show chest or legs, your shirts go up to your neck, you always wear jeans and shirts that go down to your buttocks, you wear baggier clothes so guys can't notice your curves or what not.
Too much? Voice your opinion! I don't care what culture/religion/spiritually you're in.

Never mind other people on this. If you feel comfortable being modest, then obey your own instincts. Why should you "join the crowd?" A lot of guys, and I think the best kind of guys, will definitely be interested in a woman who has self-confidence, poise, and is beyond advertising with her various body parts. I'm not saying you have to wear a large potato-sack, but whatever makes you feel ":centered," within YOUR OWN ZONE, that's what you should follow.

Personally, I wouldn't want to live my life with so much fear of men. There's alternatives, take a self-defense class and live your life a bit or join a convent. The concept of not looking a man in the eye or smiling when someone opens the door for you, well, its way past repressive. Not all smiles are flirting, sometimes they're just smiles.

I think that you are correct. I am not God, but I believe that he understands the perverse behavior of man, and he would find much favor in a woman understanding the same thing, and doing what she needs to do to help prevent man from sinning. It sounds like a mild effort from one person, but if it was a socially acceptable norm, it would assist in preventing a lot of the sexual immorality in today's society. Just my thoughts.

That's a tough one. I agree that both men and women have to be watchful of placing themselves in compromising position in regards to the opposite sex. My rule is to try and avoid one on one situations that are not public. As far as dress, I believe that a lady should dress modestly. That doesn't mean, to me at least, that she should have to wear clothing that makes you wonder if she's male or female. But, it should be clothing that doesn't bring out a lustful eye from men. I think women know where this line is and know when they are getting eyed at by men. It's then their choice as to continue wearing that outfit or change.

I think that's a personal thing.
I think it sounds like fear to me, but for some women it is just the level of modesty they feel they need to have, and that's ok. I don't know any women who are like that, but if I did, I think I would just respect that, and think of it as their way of being modest.

It's not too much if it's not too much for the individual who so chooses. That is, my opinion about someone else's obedience to what God has called them for is not worth much.
