In previous generations, it was common to hear the question “Are you asking for trouble?” I was reminded of this old question on attending a local outdoor music festival, where many couples adorned themselves in immodest attire.
The immodest dress of men and women raised questions about what they are looking for and how they want people to deal with them.
When you parade around immodestly or want your spouse to parade immodestly, you are asking for trouble. Yes, you may enjoy the attention they attract, and think about it as something that rubs off on you. You may even that that dressing like that makes others view you as more ,manly’ or ‘womanly’ than others.
Your attire tells the world who you are and how you want to be treated. It give instructions to others on where to look and what’s important to you. You may be proud of your wife’s body or your husband’s. In showing it off, you may also be luring others to that body as well. Advertising pays, and it could be that your advertisements are attracting interested parties.
When you and your spouse parade around like that it’s asking for trouble. Yes, the costumes may be fun, yet in doing so, you may be sending a message to others that is troublesome.
It is one thing for others to admire you and your spouse, it is quite another to have them leer at either one of you or both. Immodest dress is asking for trouble. Yes, dress up and costumes can be fun. Immodest dress often starts a series of events where things spin out of control. Immodest dress is often viewed as an invitation for others to flirt and make passes. It draws their eyes to parts of their bodies.
If you want to be seen as a person rather than a pair of boobs, or a bulge in your pants, your attire is where that begins.
Some determined suitors will test limits and want more than just flirting. They may want ‘MORE’. When you and your spouse dress immodestly, you have to be prepared for those who want ‘MORE’. You may dismiss them as ‘perverts’ or ‘sex addicts’ when in reality, they are just reacting to temptations that have been placed in front of them. There is a big difference between unwanted advances and those where others have been teased, enticed or tempted.
Before you do your fall festival dress up, consider the message that the costumes convey. You may view the dress up as ‘fun’ while others view it as ‘trolling’ for takers.
Modesty is never out of style, whether during costume time or dressing up for a fancy party. Looking attractive can be achieved without looking seductive.
The ebook, “Why Wasn’t I Enough?” deals with the consequences of what happens when you find the trouble you’re looking for.
