"Women and Bikinis"



Recently, I had the audacity to send a lady on this site an email after noticing that she had just posted a picture of herself in a bikini. I will not argue the fact that the picture was very alluring, but something else bothered me. Why would a beautiful woman who claims to be a Born Again Christian display her body in such a manner on the internet for all the world to see?



I'm sorry, I find it offensive that a Christian woman who is looking for a husband would display her body in such a manner. I certainly would not want my future wife advertising herself this way. "As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a lovely woman who lacks discretion" (Proverbs 11:22).



Yet judging by her angry letter, perhaps I was wrong and the woman was right: "Not my fault men like you can't get past their own flesh."



So lets have your views ladies and gents on the subject of "Women and Bikinis" on a Christian dating site.



Blessings in Christ,

Paul



Below is my letter to her:

************************************************************************



You are a beautiful lady, but you have diminished your beauty with the display of your bathing suit picture. It contradicts everything in your profile: "As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord"



"that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel...which is proper for women professing godliness" (1 Timothy 2:9-10).



Blessings,

Paul



************************************************************************



Her response:

************************************************************************



Then don't view my profile

U R 20 years older than me U R way 2 old

Why would you even think of clicking onto my beach shot

Please with the holier than thou

Do U really think women read your blah blah blah novel profile

A whole lot of ridiculous nothing

No one would ever finish that in one sitting nor would want 2

Boring!



U R not clever or righteous by any means

Cast your stone somewhere else idiot truck driver & film maker

That is laughable



There is a reason U R single



I advise U get a dog for companionship

nothing worse than a jerk who spills out scripture with a bunch of nonsense and stupid icons

I am listed on more favorite lists than any other woman here



Perhaps it is your own lustful thoughts Exam your own perverted thoughts and convict yourself



God made my body and I work hard to maintain my good health

Only a man like you can take that and twist it into something impure

Repent and do not view my profile again

Do not respond

I am not interested in your foolishness

A true man of GOD can view my profile and find beauty only

Your thoughts go past my intent

You are disgusting for thinking such things of my pic

I do serve the lord and I spend a lot of time on that very beach with my pocket bible.

Not my fault men like you can't get past their own flesh

I would have to cover up so U don't get excited

That is your sin not mine fool

Again Exam your impure thought to a peaceful shot of me at the beach DON"T pervert an innocent pic

That is your mind not mine or real men of Christ

No other man on this site made your comment

The problem lies in your lustful eye So U R the Hypocrite

Best you gauge it out as scripture instructs so U can enter heaven



Good Luck I'm glad all the obese women who wear turtlenecks have a shot with you

HA I bet U would Never date an overweight girl

So Again Who's the HYPOCRITE

U



Don't look at my profile or pics "MY DEAR"

Move onto Large unattractive women who contact U b/c God told them 2 U cannot turn down a woman if she emails U even if U find her not appealing Make sure U listen to GOD now and date them Being that U only want a good heart yeh right!

Make sure U don't go to the beach U might end up in hell for having such perversion in your heart



Repent Quickly Repent Hypocrite

Joeysings has a great point about the competitive aspect of it, and how sometimes our guys want us to compete for them. It's sick and kind of sad... it always amazes me how a woman will bend over backward to keep her youth and sexiness for a husband who looks like he's never walked faster than a stroll and the only workout he does is a "beer curl" (for those unfamiliar, the arm gesture required to drink beer that resembles an arm weight exercise). I guess it comes back to the double standard and belief that "men are more visual", so a woman is to be beautiful and fit but not care about her husband's appearance.

Yeah...it always makes me sad when I see a woman trying really hard to be attractive for her husband and the husband throwing his body/caution to the wind. Doesn't seem fair. I guess I've seen wives do it to husbands too though....just not as much.

Open a can of worms and one will raise it's head slightly higher than the others. We do not have these photos to look at and judge for ourselves. Until then the only evidence is the emails presented here. And your email sounded a little like a rebuke on the woman's appearance. You broke the first rule on how to get women. Understand women have this mental condition called short term memory loss. They need to be reminded everyday that they are loved. If you find a wife, and I hope you do, she should be told daily that you love her.

The woman's response has so much heat and passion attached to it. It is a shame to let it go to waste.

But then I have not seen the pictures either. :yay:

It doesn�t really sound like he was trying to �get� her, shepherdingking. If he wanted to �get� her he probably would have had to pander to her ego by adding her to his favorites and telling her how indescribably beautiful he thought she was, and that would NOT have been good for her. Also, I have to say I do not fully understand what you are saying in your post. Do you want her contact information so YOU can pursue her? I think she�s made it pretty clear she�s not interested in men that �R way 2 old�.

�Understand women have this mental condition called short term memory loss. They need to be reminded everyday that they are loved.�

That first sentence is incredibly condescending and general. It�s foolish to say it�s �short-term memory loss�, and foolish to think it applies just to women. People want to feel loved and appreciated by the people they love and appreciate. Relationships take maintenance and effort, and I would never expect my husband to be satisfied endlessly by one initial �I love you� followed by years without another.

In short, I have no idea what you are trying to say, and all that I can get out of it doesn�t make much sense at all.

I don't know how to react but sometimes I wear shorty shorts on the beach although not bikini.Only God can really judge us.As long as the heart is good and not living in sin and stumbling blocks to others thats enough.Sometimes its just the experience and fun that you have to have with yourself not knowing that others are viewing it wrong or bad.Thats all,

Let me be more clear. I think the woman is right and the guy is out of line on this one. Bikini pictures are irrelevant.

It is true that it is a �in the heart� issue that God has the last word on, but it is clear from the e-mail response from the woman that she has a pride (or lack of real self-worth) issue. Her bragging about her number of favorites is indicative of that. It�s true that a lot of women don�t really think about it and are shocked and feel kind of dirty when they realize what it can do when they do certain things. It is partly up to the man, but to expect a man to not be lustful while a young lady is next to naked is kind of a tall order. And sometimes women are trying to be lusted after, whether or not they think of it in those terms. They want the attention and use lust to get it.

I guess I take the middle ground once again and say that neither party handled the situation very well. I understand that really_54 felt driven to say something, and I would have a hard time not saying anything as well, but it probably was not his place to tell her off. However, I do think she was in the wrong and more or less knew what she was doing. If a woman knows the potential harm in something, but continues to do it, then what she does is wrong, in my opinion.
