Now let me just stress that when I say shirt, I don't mean those things that ride above the knees :
Am talking about a conservative skirt that is well below the knees
It's hard to tell who is a lady of the night nowadays amongst those who wear the well above knees skirt, if you can call it that.
Yes, I definitely Agree! Modesty is very important.
My skirts and dresses always, as a minimum, cover the knee.
I remember years ago, most of the men I knew, at that time, were always much more interested in modestly dressed woman. There was something about a woman leaving a man to wonder about what could possibly be underneath (garter-belt, lace top stockings, lace or sheer, silk etc... etc... etc...) which seemed to catch a gentleman's attention... there was just something about the 'possibilities' which kept that once-upon-a-time man wondering and interested. Where as these days, modestly dressed woman, even those who are pretty, often times, tend to get completely over looked.
I also remember a gentlemen really enjoying 'the chase' for a substantial period of time before he so much as even tried to kiss his girl; this is such an important part of courtship and should even continue throughout the marriage... to have that playful, teasing desire, fueled by a healthy chase, which is filled with such passion that it takes your breath away. Where as these days, too many men 'want it now' and too many woman 'hand it over'... big mistake. :2c:
About 20-25 years ago, in a pub, there was, of course, several waitresses. It was observed that, it was the waitress who was the most modestly dressed waitress who received not only the most tips, but the highest amount paid to her in tips. The waitress, the one who received the most tips; she was dressed in a pretty and feminine skirt and top... she was tidy, simple and well put together and she caught the attention of every man in there... mean while, the immodestly dressed women were receiving little in the way of tips and most of the men had little to no interest in the immodestly dresses waitresses. Granted, this was a 'pub' and not a 'bar', but even still, I wonder how often something like this would happen now-a-days. I'm guessing that, it would likely be, unfortunately, less likely to occur now-a-days, if at all. 20-25 years isn't that long ago, but it just goes to show, how far things have come in such a short period of time.
