my big brown eyes and my intense gaze  
my full lips  
my sensual nature  
I’m “really blunt and energetic and open to anything”  
“nice tits”

Apparently I “know what to do!”

Which is nice to know, but also puts me on the spot. High expectations - _sigh_

According to my first intimate girlfriend, the color of my skin, hair and eyes were major turn-ons for her, and she claims to have used me as a model in several of the stories she’s written. Of course, having a good sense of humor and a warm personality was probably instrumental in getting to the point where she was telling what turned her on.

–sublight.

There sure are some sexy people in this thread.

You know what? I really like long hair on women. I also like medium-length hair. And short hair, for that matter. It’s so hard to choose which I prefer. And don’t forget Sinead-headed women.

I shower at least once a month whether I need it or not.

I make sure I put band-aids on all of my open sores.

I consistently pluck…NOT shave…my chin and nipple hairs.

I own more than three hats.

I only scratch my crotch in public if there’s no alternative.

The movement of my ass when I walk has been likened to a lovely jello-o salad with pineapple and mandarin oranges.

I always wipe my boogers on the INSIDE of my shirtsleeve.

You know, looking at this list it’s stunning that anyone anywhere can keep his/her hands off of me. All of the men and women I know must have absolutely exquisite self-control.

You’d really have to ask someone that finds me sexy. But since I’m the only one having sex with me, I guess I’ll have to answer.

Sigh. If it weren’t for the fact that I have no idea how to approach women, or recognise flirting, I’d be rolling in women. Probably quite literally. 🙂

Sexiness update; I asked the guy what makes me sexy, and apparently it’s my brown eyes and confident manner. Who knew? I guess I have to leave Canada to have that Canadian accent thing going for me.

(BTW, hi, **Ace**. Welcome to the boards if you haven’t been welcomed already :))

I’m incredibly funny.

Of course, _looks_ aren’t everything!

I’ve been told I have “seductive eyes”.

And someone once said “I want to fuck your attitude”, whatever the hell that means.

Apparently I look similar to either Matt Damon or Dawson…

Also, a lot of people like my eyes, for some reason.

That seductive “snurffff” noise I make when I wipe my nose on the sofa.

The fact that I know you want to do me.  
You can want that: that’s okay. It’s always my choice and I might just choose you although it’s not likely: my heart is already engaged. But I don’t feel all shocked and shaken that you want to do me.

Me?

Sexy?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !

It has to be my humility and sense of humour that attracts people.

What else could it be?

I’ve seen your picture on people pages  
and you do look like Matt Damon,  
and he looks gooooooooood,  
and so do you.🙂

Dear god, where do I start?!

(I guess modesty is a no go, eh?)

I’ve got no shame. (I used to let my b/f lead me around crowded streets on a leash… oh, the looks…)  
I look approachable (read: I should lose weight.)  
I’m crass. (No, its not a cha-cha-muffin-pie… Its my _cunt_.)  
I’ve got neat breasts. They’re all pale and squishy and about a C and I can play with them whenever I want and you cant… Muhahahaha.  
I really do have an interesting face. I love my eyes… I hate my nose… Damn it for being right in the center of my face!! I love my lips though… so 2 out of 3 isnt so bad.

More often than not Im told that I exude sexuality. Im not sure how this is happening, but if I find the leak, rest assured that I will have it sealed up immediately.

I could care less about my hair. I dont care if its out of place. I dont care if its falling over my eyes while Im driving. I like it messy, damnit. =)

And I give great head… and anyone who tells you this doesnt qualify as sexy is lying.

Absolutely nothing. I wear my hair long and straight, don’t wear any makeup or perfume, wear clothes that people give to me or I buy at thrift stores, though people say I have a unique sense of style. I do not want a lover, boyfriend, or whatever you call them.

I am always getting hit on. I don’t understand it either, but it is damn annoying.

Ditto, except for the “always getting hit on” part. It’s never been a problem. Hell, it’s hardly a problem with HOOKERS!

I am not really sure, but I’ve been told by every male I’ve ever known (friend, foe, boyfriend, husband, whatEVER) that I am sexy as hell. Their words, not mine.

I don’t know what makes me sexy, but they’ve all assured me I am. If I had to guess it would probably be because of:

my sense of humor (I love to laugh and make others laugh),

my eyes, (grey-blue when happy, cobalt when pissed off),

or my mouth. (full lips, slight overbite. I get lots of comments on this part of my face)

Who knows? But I’m glad I at least have _something_ going for me. 🙂

</div>

To start off I’m pretty damn hot- I’m also pretty damn smart. I’m very young: not naive, but not TOO jaded. I’m sometimes really mean and sarcastic but always silly: I love a good laugh. I walk like a cat and flirt like one too. I have confidence, pride, and a lust for life.  
Oh, and a lot of guys find that I work in a garage fixing up old cars very sexy, especially when I’m walking home after work, sweaty and covered in grease…

My goodness. It’s amazing how much your list has in common with what I was going to post.  
I too have no shame (never been lead around on a leash though. I am sooo jealous.)

I too should lose weight. Well, actually I have lost weight recently and I’m fairly happy with myself. Judging by the Metropolitan Museum I look like most of the women who’ve posed for Venus, Godess of Love over the past 2000 years, I can’t help it if that’s not 20th (21st?) century sexy.

I too call a cunt a cunt. Hate the word “pussy” though.

I have lovely breasts and (I have heard this from more than one boyfriend, in more than one decade, and in the warm tones of true appreciation and not just off-hand compliment) truely splendid nipples.

I have beautifully eyes that can be sexy when I remember to use them.

Unlike you though, if I found out where I was leaking sexuality I would not have it sealed up.

And yes, I give great head.

Mybe we should go out and pick up guys together sometime.
