Modesty Means Men Too!

In all the modesty talks, the focus is usually on women. But men can be immodest too.

1. Extremes: The most obvious immodesty for men is sporting extreme or offensive hairdos, clothing, and accessories. As stated in a previous post, modesty is about being moderate. Being moderate also includes not showing off costly apparel. Set aside pride and don humility, especially at church or in the temple.
2. Tight Clothing: Men are just as guilty as women for wearing tight clothing, revealing their toned chest (or even gut sometimes) and rear end. Although women for the most part are not visual creatures like men, an immodest attractive guy can be a temptation to many women. Then there's women like me who are turned off and for that reason would like you to be modest!
3. Revealing Clothing: If what you are wearing doesn't cover garments, whether or not you are endowed, then it is immodest. This rule applies to athletic wear as well. Of course some sports require certain clothing that may not allow for garments (such as swimming), but those activities are not excuses to be immodest.
4. Words (spoken or written): Men are usually the most immodest when it comes to what they say. Repeating crude humor, sharing intimate activities, and using profanity are all inappropriate for a priesthood holder to do.
5. Other Behavior: Modesty extends to all other behaviors, such as flirting, dancing, and dating. Also, show your appreciation and support for modesty by dating modest young women or encouraging your wife and daughters to be modest. 

Challenge: Be an example of modesty in all aspects to your friends.
