I don't know for some reason or another like there's like modesty is uh I guess it needs to be said because hasm has given me the wordss to say so for some reason or another men don't think that modesty applies to them for some reason or another men don't not they think that modesty only applies to women and it's completely wrong modesty applies to men just as much as it applies to women so so what do I mean by modesty to Men first and foremost we talked about the whole issue of skinny pants skinny jeans not allowed it's first of all it's leim it's what go we second of all it's not modest you're not supposed to show your body parts to the world uh third of all it looks like Nazi clothes if you look at I showed a picture there's a picture of Nazi pants and and uh and uh skinny jeans the same thing for having K excuse me and lastly also it's bad for reproduction so that's one second thing as far as the shirts when people like open up their shirts and like they show half their chesto it's gross no one wants to see you're Ling no one wants to see your body no one needs to see your body you don't see RAB vadia walking around with uh you know his fur coming out of the you know you don't see any any ariaa pictures with his friends on the beach with no shirt on no one needs to see your body that's number two number three the people that are thinking that they're making a mitzvah by going to the mik people go to Mitzvah and they go to the mik okay going to mik is not a obligation for men but if you go it's good it's good if you go especially if you have friends that are sinners you work you work in a place that's full of Sinners should definitely go to the mikve how often is up to you point is you should go but if you're going to go to the mik and you're going to be one of those guys that walks around naked like you're in a football locker room thinking that it's okay because just guys Bell you are an immodest person and you have to cover yourself no one wants to see your your your body it's disturbing it's disgusting and you should cover yourself it doesn't matter that there's other other men no one wants to see you naked even if you're a guy it's not okay yes it's disgusting it's awful it's horrendous I hate it people need to learn that modesty is not just for women cover your body go to the mikve have a towel right next to the mik cover yourself you want to go to the shower cover yourself until you're in the shower like it's it's just it's just it's complete like ridiculous that you even have to say this in this age that people just walk around like we're in Greece everybody's naked and it's like first of all also aside from that why are people like it's in you're not to talk in a not let to talk in a bathroom like people have conversations inside the mik area cuz you know it's a mik there a big pool there a couple showers and they tree like a locker room they have conversations hey what are you doing how do you like this mik how do you like this K what do you think of what do you think of trump what you're not allowed to have a conversation in those places you could say you know somebody says hi you could notd and say hi and leave but you're not have to carry a conversation so people have to start learning how to like act you're going to purify yourself but you're collecting sin at the same time it's it's like it's like taking a shower and a bath full of uh you know I don't know uh uh garbage there something you know so that's why like sometimes I see this's a couple of people I see you know you see them in the M it's like I try I try to go run away these people are like walking around around they think they're like in uh they're like a uh I don't know one of these underwear models in a uh ny's magazine but without the underwear it's like like come on the guy wants to talk to me hey what do you think of leave me alone like what are you talking to me who wants to see you you're naked buddy go away is he making a sin for disgusting you I yeah don't talk to me don't look at me don't touch me oh I had one guy wants to give me a hug in the mik hey how are you get away from me first of all I don't like when people touch me in general I generally don't like when people touch me I don't know have this thing no no no I'm not I'm not like clean freak I just don't like I I have a very sensitive body I had so much pain in my body and so on I just in general I don't even before that actually I generally don't like when people touch me if I you know once in a blue you know there a hug I give to people when it's close but but if you're naked who wants to touch you who wants to look at you so it's it's this it's it's awful and and guys I don't know I know guys guys feel like it's okay cuz we're all guys but it's awful it's disgusting it's not modest please stop please stop For Heaven's Sake stop it's it's just a it's it's just an awful awful thing and with one of the comes to him and starts asking them questions in the uh in the shower and like in the uh bath house and he doesn't answer him so he say how could he not answer he asked him uh heretical type of question like a heresy about statues and so on say no you're not allowed to talk now talking about bath house so number one if you're going to go make a mitvah make a Mitzvah you need give AEM a chocolate give him the whole chocolate don't chew it keep the wrapping on on it be modest act like a human being control your desires know that if you want something too much unless it's Torah it's not good for you you want women too much it's not good for you you want money too much not good for you you want politics too much not good for you if you don't want anything at all and you're anti it's also most likely not good for you balance balance is key balance in General on most things is good the only thing that balance is not good for is anger there's no balance in Anger you're not to have anger at all you have to be extreme no anger that's very hard but you have to work on it so please if any of you know anybody or you go to the mikve please tell him tell them to listen to this last part of this U cuz I don't think anybody else ever talked about it it's an awful awful thing that people do and they walk around oh this is the reason okay so at least so that's the reason I guess told me to remind me to say this I always want to say it I just never think of a time like I never think about it during the lectures cuz it's not connected to any shua like I never think about it but apparently today I needed to say it do men get rewarded for being modest like the Babas 100% 100% as a matter of fact there a about it say says uh why did sha uh Merit having such righteous descendants because he was malested cuz he was Mal right was the first king of Israel it's difference you know we could be even a small token of what babaali was but can't really compare babaali to someone from almost 3,00 years ago King King Saul so it says that King Saul was so righteous that if he was born after King David and he was going to fight King David and King David was the king first and Saul wasn't Hashem would let Saul win he never did to sin that's how much that's how righteous he was he sinned at the end of his life he made a mistake uh but uh nonetheless he still was extremely extremely modest and extremely extremely righteous
