- Go to TEACHING MICHELE SOMETHING ABOUT MEN...SEX APPEAL
Outstanding!
It seems that you and your daughter have a great open relationship, and honest communication. I have been blessed with that with my kids too, and my daughter is 15 now, so we have alot of talks about appropriate behavior,etc. This was heartwarming in one sense, and funny and very expressive.
I think more parents need to stop being afraid and teach their children about life, about REAL life. I just said in a college class last week that I think there should be a class on teaching young women about being comfortable as sexual beings, money making independent beings etc....I know that things are changing, but it feels like there is still alot of denial being taught. I had no idea growing up that I was ok to be sexy, or that there was a classy way to do it! Hell, I didnt really even know what sexiness was or meant!
Bravo to you and your daughter!

I have grandaughters but have decided that they can do no wrong ever. That
way is easier and anyway I trust them and their parents.

Great post Krisles... very well explained. I have a friend, very close, that did some nude posing for an artist once. She used to tell me that she has felt a hundred times more self conscious wearing a low cut blouse than she ever did nude... it was just the way men kept looking trying , as you said, to get a glimpse , when she was naked there was no mystery so no need to glare loll

Interesting...and I'm glad I had a boy!
It does seem this "phenonmenon" is beginning to affect teens earlier and earlier...perhaps even pre-teens. I plan to raise my son to respect women and to not be "that guy", but I can it's hard for the easily influenced teenage mind to repel literally hundreds of multimedia messages bombarding them with images of sex...what's sexy, how to be sexy, etc. Our standards nationwide seem to be dropping along with necklines. What's the solution? How much power do parents really weild over the all powerful media and, as you mentioned, peer pressure? Disturbing. Great post!

Liked your insights into appropriate dressing and the art of teasing men.

Forevermore, it does seem like it is getting younger and younger! I think this is a great post! My daughter had a boyfriend throughout high school and I did not have to worry about her dress. She just wasn't into to it! I truly appreciated not having the conflict! sam

You don't need neon lights and a "free" sign to sell a genuine rose.
Any guy who goes after an easy girl will go after the next just as fast. Why buy the cow, etc.
