Laws of Attraction
Being Sexy
Sexiness is all tied up with the laws of attraction between the male and female species. Yet it's an illusive concept at the best of times.
Women’s ideas of sexiness are contaminated by their impressions of beauty, which are derived from the youthful images that jump out at them from the pages of glossy magazines. Yes, that young nymph with the sun-kissed skin and long legs is profoundly sexy. Yes, yes, the glamorous movie star with the shimmering locks and smoky eyes and narrow waist is enviably desirable. If you were a man, wouldn’t you want to devour her yourself?
Yet there’s a difference between what women think is sexy and what men find sexy. For women sexiness nestles within the design of the perfect package. It’s alluring because it seems so unattainable.
For men, maybe, sexiness lurks in the illusion of availability. A frank gaze, a warm smile, a sway of the hips that signal ‘I love sex and you’re in with a chance’ are all gestures that negate rejection.
Everyone seems to agree, however, that sexy has to do with confidence and that confidence boosts the laws of attraction between males and females.
This is what Eva Mendes has to say about being sexy:

‘In my experience, men are attracted to confidence above anything else. Why? Because it’s sexy! We all hold our heads higher when we feel good, and we have a spring in our step that makes other people want to be part of it. I feel at my sexiest when I have a little secret –something that’s given me a glint in my eye. That’s when you get the looks from men. That’s when they find you sexy.’
Belle de Jour writes in The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl, ‘sexiness is not a square-yards-of-cloth to exposed-skin ratio. Sexy is not the inevitable result of being blonde, tanned and thin (though it seems to work for television hosts). Sexy is the result of being pulled together and comfortable in your own skin. Holding your stomach in when your clothes are off is not fuckable. Slapping your ample behind and inviting him to ride the wobble is.’
