Well of course He does, it's called a stumbling block, and we are not to place them in front of our brothers and sisters.
It is the curse of all women to want to please men. If we give into this curse, men will rule over us. We should focus on what is really important in life, not turning a man on.
Here is an easy standard that works for both men and women: "the more flesh you show, the less creditability you have."
I cannot tell you how true this, in both the professional/office environment and in the casual friends environment. Think of this - you set up a meeting with your lawyer to discuss a very important issue, and he comes to the meeting in Bermuda shorts and a tank top. Not professional, right?
The immediate danger of dressing indecently or in a provocative fashion is that you have less credibility in the eyes of your peers.
Secondly, however, and even more dangerous, is the fact that you have reinforced the notion that sex is a commodity, something that can be "bought and sold" for the right price. Men are visual creatures, they are stimulated with their eyes, and when you initiate a sexual response in a man, you are opening the door to a dangerous situation. The moment we begin to treat sex as a mere commodity is the moment that commodity is abused and stolen.
As women we should save the "sexy" outfits for private times with our husbands, not to be worn and feasted upon by other men in public. We will never gain any respect in the workplace if we dress like "sex kittens" or playthings. We are treated how we dress, it's as simple as that.
Now, how to fix the problem? The same way that we can fix any problem in society. First, look in the mirror and make the appropriate changes to your own wardrobe. Second, have a frank discussion with your spouse about his/her clothing, and then finally teach our children the ways of modesty and decency.
Sorry to be so long-winded! =]

Tight clothing on boys or girls brings lust (intense sexual desire) to others. Have you ever seen someone stare at another and it was obvious that person was staring at a particular part of the anatomy? Lusting after beauty is committing adultery in the heart. God admonishes the Christian from looking lustfully and to avoid it. People must wear comfortable clothes and yes it's fashionable to dress like everyone else but avoiding the things of the world is also a commandment , in today's society you are not accepted if you don't dress a certain way or wear your hair in fashion but that is a personal decision in which i believe you need to make in order to be pleasing and honorable before the lord at all times. I once went to a church service that was so jubilant and everyone danced, there were two women sitting in the seats in front of my husband and I wearing the tightest jeans and when they wiggled with their dance everything else wiggled and my husband 's eyes caught a glimpse and just blushed, when we got home he made a comment that surprised even me, he said "that was not enticing to me as a matter of fact that was embarrassing to see women dress like that in church" so what a person may think is flattering may not be to someone else , this means men and women (boys & girls) alike. I believe God would want us to be chaste in the way we dress .
God Bless You i hope this is helpful to you.
see: Numbers 15:39
Job 31:1
Proverbs 6:25
Matthew 5:28

I do not believe in your God, but as society changes so will things such as attire. If you look back just a few generations, if you were not married by the age of 16, then there was something wrong with you. This of course is unheard of by today's standards, although legal in many states. In TX you can marry at the age of 13! You can have consensual sex at 17, however it is legal to have sex under 17 the the other person is your spouse!!! Legal sex at age 13!!! I DO NOT condone that sort of behavior, but things change as the years pass by, just like in the late 60's people were probably complaining the same way about people wearing bell-bottoms to church.

What tight clothes are you talking about? Right here where I live the guys all wear those baggy droopy pants. I say pull 'em up and wear a belt. Hooray for tight clothes. I hate seeing people's butts hanging out.We have a crack problem here that can be solved by a simple wardrobe change.

God would swat them on their rear as their parents should! He has plenty to say in the Bible, if people would only read it.

Jesus is supposed to be loving and caring. He would look beneath the person's skin and judge them on who they are on the inside, as he is not superficial and wouldn't judge someone based on their appearance.

I don't think Jesus cares what people wear. He has more important things to worry about.
