Sexy, hands down. Beauty is something that's overrated and can come and go. Sexy is an attitude, a swagger, a presence that doesnt come easy. Everyone cannot be sexy... but you can pay for beauty with plastic surgery... or so people think!

@ Kristal: Pegs rocks!!! I actually know her in person (offline). She's cute, funny, and VERY intelligent. Pegs alraedy knows this but, if she had a dick and two balls, I'd *totally* fuck her. ;)

@ Andy: I've listen to your voice on your podcast. I think your voice sounds sexy. Is that offensive? ;)

@ ErrorBoy: "So to answer the question: I’ll take sexy." Oh, but, I thought you were gonna say, "I'll take the FBC."

@ Wonderlove: LOVE your username. Now that we got that out of the way ... Fabulous. I love "gorgeous". People just don't use that word enough anymore. We need to bring "gorgeous" back to daily usage.

@ TQB: And so we do, don't we? :)

I've been called both, so many times I downplay it and instead focus on collecting multiple degrees so that I can be called "intelligent." So I agree with you- we always want what we don't have...

I'd take "gorgeous"! It encompasses sexy and beautiful...sorry for any spelling errors too lazy to spell check..LOL

I'm with Andy, definitely brains over beauty... (actually, probably a somewhat self-serving comment)

FWIW 'sexy' is not 'sexual' in my book. A girl who likes her own body and enjoys using it (pref. with me) is sexy. It has everything to do with looks, movement, words, and not much with cup-size or sixpacks.

So to answer the question: I'll take sexy.

At the risk of sounding holier-than-thou (not to mention off-topic, which is trollish), I'd rather be called "brilliant."

I'm not casting judgements against "sexy" and/or "beautiful." Believe me, being found attractive is great.

Looks go. Sometimes, people find you appealing and sometimes, they don't. But the mind can be a fascinating and emotionally appealing aspect of who you are at at any age.

@ Darwin: I've actually heard that before. Short = cute. Tall = sexy.

@ Antonio: I knew you were both! :) And, I've met you, my dear. You are definitely not ugly.

@ Jonathan: Yeah, you're right. "Whatever." :)

@ blackfemme: "Both" is/are good. ;-)

@ Heaven: Sexy dates are great.

@ Bronze Trinity: Hmmm ... But sex appeal doesn't always equal sex. I find plenty of men sexy even though I'll never sleep with them (and vice versa).

@ Kristal: Good point.

@ Pegs: I'm not surprised.

Re: Sexy vs. Beautiful: Which Would You Rather Be?

Kristal,
I think your last post was beautiful.

Re: Sexy vs. Beautiful: Which Would You Rather Be?

Kristal — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:54:50 -0000

Oh, I know sexy doesn't have to be trashy, but I think there are too many (read: young teenagers - no, not all!! Not trying to stereotype) who haven't quite figured out that fine line, and who trying so hard to BE sexy that they go a bit far - hey, maybe that's the whole deal. You shouldn't really TRY to be sexy - sure, you can elaborate! - but it's more how you are overall. Too many girls out there with far too much makeup on because they've got this image of what sexy is, and they - I don't want to say they don't "fit" it, but...they haven't...embodied it? Or rather, they haven't found their OWN sexy and let it embody them...

...okay. I'm going to stop talk - er, typing. I'm not sure if I've even stayed on topic or not, haha.

I'd rather be beautiful. If you're just sexy then that means men just want to sleep with you. But if your beautiful they want to sleep with you , date, or even marry you. In both cases its physical but I just think men won't put up with a sexy woman unless they are having sex.

I always hear from people that I'm beautiful, but I rarely hear someone say I'm sexy. I think that if someone calls you beautiful, and that you're sexy on top of beautiful, then you have the total package. So I'm shooting for being sexy these days. Maybe it will help me get a sexy date!

Re: Sexy vs. Beautiful: Which Would You Rather Be?

blackfemme — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 09:41:37 -0000

I totally agree with Original Bro. When someone says you're beautiful, they might be referring to some quality that radiates from the inside out. (Of course we'd all like to be both sexy and beautiful)

FCB: Well i tend to think that I am sexy and beautiful. :) I know - "whatever!". If i did not think that I would not work hard on looks than i guess.

Re: Sexy vs. Beautiful: Which Would You Rather Be?

Antonio — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 08:05:04 -0000

He he he
I make your words mine:
"Men rarely tell me that I’m beautiful, but every man that I’ve ever dated has told me that they think I’m sexy. "
So, if I am already sexy, I go for beautiful (eventhough I have learned at school that men are "handsome" and only girls are "beautiful"... well, who cares, I´m gay...).
Then I will be both, he he he

Honestly speaking (and I am truly 100% honest here): I have always found myself rather ugly than anything else, and when people started saying I was sexy, I was really surprised. Gladly surprised, I shall say. Being sexy pays off...

I get more 'beautiful' or even 'cute' than 'sexy'. I get 'cute' all the time actually I think it has something to do with my diminutive height and personality that's a bit larger than that - apparently the whole kitten-with-the-heart-of-a-lion thing!

Not sure which I prefer though...sexy is nice since it's rarer.

@ Ella: It's probably not a British thing because I don't think American women say that either.

@ AmyD: Feeling beautiful is a beautiful thing.

@ Baba Doodlius: You're always so humble. :)

@ Kristal: Love the rambling. ;) Hmmm ... Jake Gyllenhaal? Sexy. Halle Berry's man? Beautiful. Lenny Kravitz? Sexy. Thierry Henry? Beautiful. David Beckham? Sexy *and* Beautiful. Sexy doesn't have to be trashy.

@ Pegs: Katharine Hepburn? Beautiful. Marilyn Monroe? Sexy.

@ GrizzBabe: Yeah, I think everyone likes to feel desired.

@ Mags: Ahhh, Mags and Bro. All warm and fuzzy together again.

@ brandon: You're both. And, you're humble, too. :) Hmm ... I'm not convinced that sexy = erotica.

Re: Sexy vs. Beautiful: Which Would You Rather Be?

brandon — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 21:24:36 -0000

Well I think I'm both...but if I were to chose I'd chose to be beautiful. Because beauty (beautiful) is timeless and is artful. They don't make sexxy art to hang in museums (its called erotica...or porn and are found in the red light districts)

Re: Sexy vs. Beautiful: Which Would You Rather Be?

Mags — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 20:54:16 -0000

I'd say beautiful, partially because I think almost anyone can be sexy to someone else at some point and because it's more about a state of mind or being. Beautiful is more about how you are naturally, and I agree the Orignial Bro, it encompasses both the inside and outside.

Re: Sexy vs. Beautiful: Which Would You Rather Be?

GrizzBabe — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 20:36:05 -0000

My boyfriend calls me sexy all the time but he rarely (if ever) calls me beautiful. I like being called sexy because it means that he desires me and I want to be desired but every now and then I'd like to be told how beautiful or pretty I am. Surely I must have some form of physical attractiveness or else hewouldn't be with me, right? Even if I'm beautiful only to him, I'd still like to hear it.

But you asked me which one would I rather be called, beautiful or sexy? If someone were giving me a choice to only be called beautiful or to only be called sexy, then I would take sexy. Ultimately, I'd rather be desired.

Re: Sexy vs. Beautiful: Which Would You Rather Be?

Pegs — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:05:37 -0000

I'm with Bro. I think sexy is too one-dimensional, too flighty. Beautiful is more all-encompassing. Would you say Katharine Hepburn was sexy in her later years? I wouldn't. But I'd certainly say she was beautiful. Yeah, Kristal, beautiful is timeless.
And Ella, as an American woman, I've said before that another woman is "hot," but never "sexy." There's a line crossed there semantically that I'm a little gunshy about crossing.

Kristal — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 15:04:56 -0000

Funny cause I was actually thinking about this the other day!

All in all, I just like compliments, period, and sometimes I think that there's a little bit of each in the other, but if I had to choose...I'd rather be beautiful. Maybe because "sexy" comes by more frequently than "beautiful," maybe because it depends on who's saying it, and the mood et all, and maybe because it seems like sexy can border trashy, whereas beautiful borders timeless. And maybe because sexy is more how you want to look at a club when you get smashed, and beautiful is how you want to look at your grad dinner/dance and your wedding...though there's nothing saying you can't be beautifully sexy at the same time!

Little rambling there, for you :)
