What is sexy?

My new year resolution for 2010 is to be more sexy and confident. My hubby is amazing and tells me that I am sexy almost every day... I just don't believe him. So I am going to try different things this year to help me feel sexy.. besides just sex.. though I am hoping that will definitely follow my more sexy lifestyle... so any ideas on stuff I can do to feel like a sexy confident woman... besides the obvious.. ;)

Re: What is sexy?

  • What I've started doing is working out.I feel SO much better about myself now that I'm working on my terrible eating habits, and trying to loose some weight.

     

  • In one word CONFIDENCE!   I think it's feeling good and knowing that you look good too.  It's not all in clothes & makeup.  You can exude sexiness in the way you walk, talk, and your posture.  So work it girl!

  • Think about what comes to mind when you think of a sexy, confident woman.  Then, think about simple steps you could take to emulate that woman.  For me personally, my idea of a sexy confident woman is Dita Von Teese, so if I wanted to be sexy in the same way she is, I might wear red lipstick every time I leave the house, even to get the mail, or give my H a certain number of (completely tasteful!) stripteases every month.

    The thing is, my version of sexy is going to differ wildly from your version of sexy, so I can't really tell you what to do.  And to be honest, it makes no sense to me that you're resolving to do something you can't define... that's setting yourself up to fail.

  • A lot of women find it helps them to feel sexy if they wear sexy matching panties and bras. You could give that a try.

  • I suppose it's different for everyone. Sexiness I strive to emulate streams from Jennifer Aniston...yes, I'm sure she has a stylist, make up artist, endless money to dress, eat (chef), exercise (trainer) etc but I can do a lot of that myself. Exercising is a long term goal for me that makes me feel more confident but on a daily basis - even on weekends - I attempt to put on a little bit of make up and have my nails looking good and some jewelry (I've been doing these things long before I met FI but FI loves these things which gives a confidence boost) but I agree with pp, stature, presentation, posture, positive attitude are the things you might try for free! Enjoy the process of figuring it out - just the process alone can do great things! Big Smile

  • I think a woman who can do things by herself is sexy.  For instance, going to cooking classes or vacation etc.  Being able to have fun by yourself shows that you are confident.  Also, it allows you to bring something new to conversation with your DH.

     100% agree! Great for confidence too. My dad passed away this summer and last week I encouraged my mom to go see a movie alone. She was hesitant b/c she was self-conscious about doing it but went anyway. Baby steps but she was soooo pleased with herself and the experience!

  • First I would have to say you need to feel good about yourself.  Getting up every morning working out before work, makes me feel empowered by staying healthy, fit and my hubby loves that I keep in shape.  He jokes I work out for him and I am his trophy wife. It def helps in the bedroom, my husband can't his hands off of me.

  • Thank you everyone for your responses... except maybe the one about setting myself up for failure... just kidding constructive criticism is good too.. the thing is I believe it has to be a lifestyle change.. I live a very "unsexy" life as a 1st grade teacher.. but I still think that I can make a daily effort to look at myself this year as a sexy confident woman... so I am putting my "good-two" shoes in the closet and breaking out the red wine and bubble baths... Thanks every1!

  • Yeah I agree that working out and eating right, basically staying in shape, will make me feel more sexy and keep the fire going in the bedroom. Also wearing sexy clothes to bed will make me feel more sexy too.
  • Just one more thought to add to all PP's:

    I keep a journal/diary (completely private) and I write about things I love about myself, things I'd like to improve or do better, and I write out goals I have for myself. This has sorta taught me to concentrate on the positive things about myself and how I keep getting better...closer to becoming the person I want to be. The bottom line is to not list/mention/talk about anything negative about yourself...focus on the good...and how to make that better...in whatever ways you think would make you feel better.

  • Sometimes for me its the clothes or makeup, but most of the time its working out especially dancing! Something about ballroom dancing and latin dancing that's fun and sexy for me! I'm hoping to dance more and work out more this year too as I've put on the "married weight" now that we are done with the wedding!
