Women Are So Difficult

I believe that these questions and thoughts are or at least should be strange to a godly, modest woman of God, because "Whose adorning [b]let it not be that outward[/b] adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; [b] But let it be the hidden man of the heart,[/b] in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For [b]after this manner[/b] in the old time [b]the holy women[/b] also, [b]who trusted in God, adorned themselves...[/b]

This world has so much crept into our minds that such thinking is so rare today. We need [b]living[/b] examples and lives, men and women of God walking in humbleness and living as unto Him, not for people, which God's opinion is in their first place about everything, and also on the question "how I look like" and "why I am wearing this or that".

"Some women will spend thirty minutes to an hour preparing for church externally (putting on special clothes and makeup, etc.). What would happen if we all spent the same amount of time preparing internally for church with prayer and meditation?" -LR

edit:There are also many who says that modesty is inward thing of the heart, absolutely true, but this surely will reflect on your outward appearance.

Ah, yeah. I'm one who goes more for the honesty thing when it comes to clothes. I kinda get upset when I feel someone isn't being honest with me, but this sheds light on why.
Women aren't the only ones to ask it, but I think they do seem to be the only ones who get upset. I've known lots of guys that ask me if they look good, but if I tell them they don't, they usually look surprised but not upset.
I honesty think the reason is that females were made to be beautiful and peaceful. I mean its quite evident from nature that that God made women very pretty. Another plus for Adam. But like every good thing, satan will pervert it in the hearts of some women. Beauty will come by doing the will of our Father, and not anything else. Sometimes I do fall prey to this in another way. For example, I complained several times to my future husband that I believed myself fat. So later when I eyed some ice cream, he told me "oh, are you sure you want to eat that? I thought you were watching your weight?" And I almost killed him XD. Logically, I should have been grateful for what was a very gentle reminder, to help me pursue my goal. But it doesn't work that way with us.
So, I dunno. Sorry bro!

I guess us women want to look god to impress the guys a lot, so when something's amiss, we get upset. Do I want an honest opinion? Really, I don't ask all that much if I look good or all of that. Modesty is top priority for me, so I just expect a friend to say, "You should change out of that," if it is an issue of being unpresentable in that way. Meh, it's obviously been a problem since the beginning of the church, but I see no problem with looking good as long as it is not top priority.
Guys, just be patient with us, and we'll try to be the same way. ;-)

she became upset over that and wished she hadn't asked me and left.

Did you give her a truth in love answer or a smart aleck answer?
Hope

So Ladies, do you like to hear honest opinions or compliments that may not have any truth in it?

My answer: honest opinions. I hate flattery.

BTW: when I saw the title of this thread, I laughed! But you are right women are difficult! And so are men! Now don't tell them that!
:-P
