KISS is it (Keep it Simple Sweetie)?

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls,

When I was a teenager I was one of those girls....  No, not those girls.... those girls. The girl that the boy wanted. You know they want. They have needs. The girl that they wanted because of my and forgive me for speaking so bluntly, back then there wasn't any way of knowing I was naive, innocent. The stereotype. I was grouped with Maria on "West Side Story" or Maria on a Musical. How many times was Natalie Wood questioned about being a Maria?  Did they want her to be like the person she portrayed?

What happens when someone doesn't fall into the "stereotype"? I was watching the Bachelorette last night thinking about the silliest of things, something her sister and her were talking about. Kiss! A kiss between a man and a woman made public on national TV versus a real kiss between a man and a woman.


The definition of KISS:   (First Three Definitions)

Bible:

1. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 1Thess.5:26
2. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. Song of Solomon 1:2
3. Greet one another with an holy kiss. 

 Merriam Webster defined:
    kiss
      1: to touch with the lips especially as a mark of affection or greeting <kissed his wife good-bye>
      2:  to touch gently or lightly <wind gently kissing the trees>


Urban Dictionary defined: (Today's Youth)
kiss
   1. The sweetest thing a guy can do without bein an ass.
   2. May I kiss you instead of grabbing your ass?
       an upper persuasion for lower INVASION
       kkkkkkk iiiiiii ssssss
   3. the meeting of two pairs of lips
       He looked into my eyes, and we kissed


If the third definition is the truth, where did the second definition go? There are many definitions describing a kiss in the bible. However, I can't help myself thinking about the bachelorette. How naive is this woman that she would think that the standards are equal for men and woman? Even the military is looking into this. 

Even in the most modern world, a woman is still physically not as strong as a man. Woman are made differently. The anatomy of a woman is different. This is not a statement saying they are not strong. Woman are physically strong, they also have gifts men don't have. Men have gifts woman don't have. That is what makes a couple balanced if chosen correctly. Even the military is looking into this. The military is looking at ways to modify its training for women to help them qualify for direct ground combat roles in the infantry, tank units and special operations.

Now, back to the kiss. Why would a woman want to kiss so many men. Part of her power is in her ability to have self control. "gentleness and self control. Against such there is no law." Gal 5:23. Let me ask you this question...after kissing so many men will she be looked at as
beautiful
  honest
    a wife that is worthy of his respect
        a woman with power
           love
             trustworthy
               a woman he would want to have children with
                  the love of his life
                    worthy of putting a wedding ring...
                        the list goes on.....

Have these things changed in her from his view point. From the urban dictionary they change in the heart of our teens, children they are the ones writing the definitions. This is troublesome for parents today. How can you help a young adult that no longer looks at a kiss as what it should be?
