Okay, I’m plagiarizing from myself here, in that I wrote this post on the Aphrodisia Authors blog - but, I think it belongs here. Please keep in mind, I’m referring only to a man’s physical sexiness, not his mind or character (both of which tie for the #1 trait that makes a man attractive). So, here goes …
Up until recently, I thought I was a face gal. Give me a man with a beautiful pair of eyes framed by long lashes, along with a full set of soft, kissable lips, a sexy smile, and my heart – and other body parts – instantly melted.
Oh, sure, the guy’s body was important, but it’s his face that had always captured my attention first. Because it’s his face that I had to stare at 95% of the time during our interactions.
But, now, I feel a change in the air.
After reading Bonnie Edward’s blog about What is Sexy? and writing my guest blog titled I Need a Man – both at Naughty and Spice – I’ve been forced to admit the obvious.
That I’m becoming a total body girl – broad shoulders, rock hard abs, muscled thighs … There is no body part that I won’t admire (though I will admit that feet are at the bottom of my list).
And, if that wasn’t enough, I fear that I’m becoming attracted to men in uniforms.
While walking down the street last week, a police officer stopped me. Was my heart racing because my mind was scrambling to determine which law I’d broken? Or was it racing because of the muscular body and flat stomach encased in the navy uniform? The authoritative hand-on-the-holster stance? Or the half-smile playing on his face and the mystery lurking behind the sexy shades? When he asked me for my number, I decided that the law was not the source of my thrill.
Then, there are the men in motorcycle leathers. Now, until I bought a bike and started riding, I was completely immune to the appeal. But now, one glimpse of a muscled chest, back, or thigh encased in leather as a big, gleaming, bike passes by me and my heart does this odd little jump.
So is it just me – or do you find that what you once found physically attractive about a man is changing? When it comes to a man’s body, what do you find sexy? And, if you’re not into guys, don’t feel left out - I’d love to hear your thoughts as they pertain to women.
[…] In the meantime, stop by my blog and tell me … What Makes a Man Sexy? […]
by Finding Derek Contest - Entries » Blog Archive » New Dereks Coming … July 30th, 2007 at 9:34 amI think you can be both a face and a body girl. I notice the body first. Since I’m short, I’m usually looking at the guys chest until I look up to see face. Broad shoulders and a nice chest gets me all the time. But there has to be something in the face, strength, a great smile with good teeth, and beautiful eyes. For me, I think it’s mostly in the cheekbones and the smile. Of course, once he passes the physical exam, he’s got to have to have a good heart and confidence without arrogance
by Capri Montgomery July 31st, 2007 at 9:58 pmYou know, I’d never really thought about height, until you just mentioned it, Capri. Makes sense you’d notice the chest first. I seem to always meet guys that are my height - so maybe that’s why I notice the face, first. :-) Just once, it’d be nice to be with someone tall(er).
But, I’m with you 100% in that the physical exam (love the way you put that) is only part of the criteria.
Thanks for stopping by and posting a comment!

by Monica August 3rd, 2007 at 11:48 amA sexy man is a self-confident man. Of course physical attributes, like muscles, height, hair, eyes, teeth, and lips are important. But I’d take an average looking man who walks with his head high over a gorgeous man who lacks self-confidence. A man who commands respect and turns heads just by entering a room. A man with a brain. A man with a sense of style who knows what to wear and when to wear it. A man who is a natural leader and excels in everything he does. An average looking man with these qualities is soooo sexy to me- this is the type of man I can’t be in the same room with without imagining his naked body pressed against mine.
by Monica August 3rd, 2007 at 12:19 pmWhile I was focusing strictly on the physical in this post, I totally agree with you, Monica. In fact, I couldn’t have said it better - that’s an excellent description of a sexy man!!
Then throw in how he treats me - with respect, love, equality, and appreciation - and I am so there.
Thanks for commenting. And glad you like the Dereks.
