Young women should endeavor to protect the minds of their brothers by wearing clothes that don't invite sexual thoughts. This is modesty for me, which I guess means women in general. And for men, it is to protect young women's hearts.
I know people haven't used that angle before when talking about guy's purity...but really, it comes down to that. It's our responsibility to not tempt them that way, and in turn, guys shouldn't tempt girls emotionally. I guess you could call it flirting, which of course girls have problems with too, but it's something beyond that. Like...girls and guys have to protect each other against the kind of temptations that get to them the most. So it naturally follows that guys should be good friends to girls without leading them on that they're interested in more, because when girls receive that information, even if it IS false, they can get hurt. Or turn into idiots. Or ruin the friendship. Etc.
Sorry for the randomness, this just fell on top of my head today. Btw it sounded a lot cooler in my head. And no, this isn't the product of a painful misunderstanding.* It's a random epiphany. YAY.
*Or WAS it....? Intense soul-searching to follow. heh heh.
