What is Sexy
Edited on Wed Mar-07-07 06:37 PM by erpowers
What do DUers consider sexy in the opposite sex? Is it the person's hair, their frame, their looks, or their personality? Is sexy something that you feel is a "I know it when I see it" , but cannot describe it?

I asked this question in that I have seen lists of what are considered to be sexy people. At times I have disagreed. At other times I have agreed or have been a little unsure. So I decided to ask other what they think is sexy.

For me I think a guy is sexy when he has nice muscles and a nice six pack. I also like him to be good looking. I do not look at personality as being sexy, but I would not date a good looking guy that I thought was a jerk. So, what about others say?

2. it's a package deal
so I guess you could say a nice package is sexy....


NO wait! What I mean is that overall, it's the big picture. I've dated hot people who suck, and hated it and generally do not find it sexy any more. Totally not worth it.

28. I assume people will read into it what they want
I mean, I can get behind someone and totally support them, but it's not always easy for me to just lie there and take it when someone wants to mistreat me; it makes me fit to be tied. I tend to like a subtle strength of character, but am pretty open minded to other things as well. But I don't have a lot of patience for those thick-headed people who can't take the time to get to know themselves.

Sorry - am I stretching this too much?

7. Personality. Very few of the women I've been truly ATTRACTED to have ever been close...
...to my physical IDEAL of "women I'm attracted to".

I could NEVER date someone I thought was a jerk. I
wouldn't last five minutes.

9. Mistake in Last Line
I truly made a mistake in the last line. I meant to say I would not date a person who is a jerk. I just do not see a person's personality as sexy. I think a person with a good personality is better than a person with a bad peronsality. I saw your line about never dating a jerk and thought for sure I had wrote that I would not date a jerk. I went back to make sure I then realized I had missed the not. I truly would not date a person who is a jerk. They have to be nice in personality, I just do not think it makes them sexy.

14. I should have added...
A man with real estate...

What are your thoughts on acquiring the adjacent park...

Not to toot my own horn, but I have such a nice smile, I can turn on the world.
AND I have compassion, I always swerve when I see a squirrel in the road...

18. Jeans, a leather jacket, and aviator sunglasses.
(Sunglasses in general rock like nobody's business.)

Aussi, le derriere.

20. first is the aesthetics -- then the personality.
i ain't gettin funky with their personality -- if i don't like their body.


but the reverse is true if i don't like their personality.

fortunately -- i have a broad range of tastes.

23. Need to expand this list....
because there are a lot of members here who are attracted to the same sex. Their attractions could be very informative and comparative to heterosexuals and beyond!

24. Now, to answer your question!
I'm attracted to a man's forearms and hands (although, I'll admit to looking at a butt here 'n there). I like a man's forearms and hands, to be protecting, cuddling, and snuggling, muscular, but without being too muscular or threatening. I'm not into 6-packs...they'll go away over the years, along with your flat abdomen and perky boobs (not trying to insult the OP, just sayin'). I met my husband when he was 43 and great looking and in great physical shape (he was a runner and a sailor). Now he's 60. He's still very cute. He's now into biking, both road-biking and mountain biking. Over all those years...it's been those forearms and hands, and how he can hold me (I was 29 when we met, now I'm 46).

And the sexiest time during our relationship was right after we married (a first for both of us). I really got off on the sight of a wedding ring on his hand!

26. Stolen from Roy Blount,
but too good to let pass.

Sexy is a woman with barbecue sauce on her lips.

Now kinky, on the other hand, is kind of hard to define. I guess it's only kinky if I don't do it.

27. Intelligence, compassion, understanding, tolerance
I also like maturity and find myself predominantly attracted to women significantly older than myself.

I also find coiffed hair a turn on and someone who dresses smart casual/formal greatly attractive

29. Quiet confidence, intelligence, compassion.
I have to admit, I don't generally use the word sexy about people I only know from pictures. I use words like handsome, pretty, lovely to describe physical beauty. Sexy's a verb to me - it's active.
