What Is Sexy?
By Kathy Holmes
When you hear the phrase “Chicks over 40”—do you think sexy? Somehow the phrase does lend that idea, which is especially noticeable when you discover that many men find my blog by searching on that—they’re expecting a site about hot, sexy women. Well, that’s okay. Don’t we all want to be sexy?
My husband and I were sitting in the cruise ship lounge with my in-laws, having a round of sodas either before dinner. The Amand Assante look-alike waiter delivered our Diet Cokes and flirted with each of us by looking into our eyes and saying, “Here are the Diet Cokes so the ladies can stay sexy.” I never forgot that moment. I’m sure he got a pretty big tip that night, too. Because we all would like to be thought of as sexy, attractive, alluring and when it comes to turning 40, it’s the physical part most women are concerned about. And it’s what most women think about when they start researching topics for the “over 40.”
But what is sexy? It’s something different for different people. And something even more different for men than for women. While we’ve probably all been blown away by the sudden appearance of a stunningly beautiful woman, perhaps with a killer body, equally dressed to kill, the most unforgettable women have been those exuding self-confidence. They give an overall feeling of sexy, of being attractive, but if you looked at them closely and noticed their flaws—perhaps their nose is large or they have a bad complexion or are a large-sized woman, you might not think each part was sexy.
So what is it about them that oozes attraction? I mentioned it before. It’s their confidence. Their confidence lends an air to them, a way of dressing, a way of moving that gives a totally different overall look to them than the same person would if they had a lack of confidence. They might look old, fat, and ugly. So how is it you feel? And how do you want to feel? The next time you're in a public place—a mall, perhaps, do this experiment. Wear one of your favorite outfits, stand tall, walk with a confident air, and smile at people. Notice how people respond to you—both men and women. See if people react to you in a more positive way when you feel confident about yourself.
But sometimes before you can feel confident, you have to sort through a lot of baggage. But that is a topic for another article.
