As a 24 year old guy I make it simply a matter of practice to not hang out with girls, even christian friends, if they dress ''inmodestly'' in my judgment. I respect them too much as neighbours in humanity or sister in Christ to take the chance of lusting after them. Yes, there is a subjective element to this, but so what? The Bible teaches we are to love others just as much as we love our selves. We are called to serve. Their is nuance here of course. A girl going to a dance is permitted to show a little more skin than usual, the situation calls for it. And certainly Christian men should never say that women should not try to hand their God given natural bodies. Au Contraire, Scripture wants women to dress like women and men to dress like men so that God is glorified both in manhood and womanhood. The point is if that young lady was in Saudia Arabia they would expect her to dress modestly within their cultural standards, just as in the USA or Canada we expect woman to dress modestly for our standards. We do not permit nudity all over the place, in fact it is regulated by government agencies (local). So all we are talking about is degrees within secular cultures (because Saudia Arabia does not hold the same standard as Iran or Afghanistan or Morocco, etc.). This is where Christian liberty comes into play here. We are to not dress in any way that could cause our brother or sister to stumble.
And let's be honest here. Muscular guys (I'm not one gladly! Proud pasty white and skinny in a geeky sorta way) with developed abbs walking around shirtless in churches or at church outdoor events is a major struggle for young ladies (even married ones whose husbands are less hunky). Young guys need a good kick in the butt on this one.
my two cents.
