I was in second grade when the first girl showed interest in me.  How did I know that she liked me?  Her parents drove to my house after school one day to hand deliver a Valentine, and my mom dutifully informed me that she had a crush on me.

I can’t speak for all guys at all times, but being one, I can give you a window into what it’s like being a guy and explain part of what’s going on his mind—which is part of the reason that this modesty blog actually has a male author!

When I was in college, I worked in the Dining Common, and that meant that I got to see most of the student body on a daily basis.  Being that this was Bob Jones University, I saw men in dress shirts and ties and women in dresses and skirts.  This also meant that the men that were there also saw mostly dresses and skirts on women.

That made it really strange to visit the mall in Greenville, because you actually found out that women have two legs!

However, this environment led to some interesting conversations—one in particular had to deal with a girl that a friend of mine was dating.  He was head over heels for her, with emphasis on the heels.

You see, instead of talking about how pretty she was, how he liked her hair color or her eyes, this young man was all about her ankles.

God created the male mind to be attracted to the female form.  No male has to be trained to find a girl attractive, and it’s the first thing that a man notices about a woman.

When a man walks down the street, he’s got an uncanny sense of those that are walking around them, and can quickly size up whether they find them attractive.  It’s said that a man knows within 20 seconds whether or not a woman is attractive simply by looking at their face.

Many men do not stop there, and will take in the “whole view” and make their decision then.

Flashback To Eight Grade!

You’re sitting in the cafeteria, engaged in a heated discussion about boys with all your girlfriends [In case you didn't know, this example doesn't apply to MInTheGap or I - though we both were surrounded by all our girlfriends at lunch, right M? ;) ]. So there you were, concentrating on the girl to your left, when you hear your name! You look up – someone said your name! You’re positive! But no one is looking at you…so they weren’t trying to get your attention….Hmm…. they must have just said your name in conversation. Who was it you wonder…

Now, Back to  the Future…er…current day.

There’s a term in Psychology known as closure. It’s when we as humans take in incomplete images, and without conscious effort, our minds “fill in the blanks”. For instance, in the above image we see a dalmatian. In fact, the image is just a bunch of black blotches, but in the way they are arranged, they appear to form an image…at least in our heads. But what does this have to do with modesty and proms, the theme of the site and the theme of the month?
