Can you define sex appeal? The dictionary describes it as”the ability to excite people sexually”, but dictionaries also describe sexy as being”attractive in a sexual way.” You might confuse the two as being the same, but you would be wrong, as you will see below.  Say a man sees  a cute girl across the room wearing a short shorts, and low cut top to showcase her breasts.  He may trip over his tongue because she looks sexy, but is that initial reaction driven by sexy, or sex appeal? While the two blend together it is quite common to see someone as described above. So what does it take for more focused attention?   Most  men's eyes focus on whats in front of them at that moment, and there will always be another sexy girl around the corner. Sexy for the most part will always get attention,but unlike sex appeal it will never hold interest. Sexy appeals to the eye, and will seldom get beyond that.  Someone who dresses to grab attention can be sexy, but it will seldom lead to someone thinking about you for hours, and that is the major differentiation. Sexy is the whipped cream without the pie.   Sex appeal sex appeal is more than just eye candy, it is derived from having self confidence, and knowing your worth. When a person has this total package they radiate a glow that attracts the people around them. This aura projects onto surrounding people and makes them feel good as well. A female with sex appeal will look great in rags. She has a stature and presence that can be flattered by what she wears, but it is not because of what she wears. She instinctively dresses in a style that will always add to and not detract from the image that she portrays to the public. Women with sex appeal are always humorous, intelligent and in touch with their sexuality and sensuality. We all know people who are friendly, positive and upbeat even when the chips are down. It lets people know that they're fun to be with, and this is another trait of sex appeal.   Sex appeal attracts, radiates and commands attention. Females with sex appeal love you for who you are, they  do not let one bad experience affect their relationships with others. They compartmentalize their expectations of each acquaintance individually. Sex appeal looks for the good in people, and never hesitates to compliment. This appeal is the natural outcome of their loving and sensual nature as people.  Hopefully you can now see the differences. It all boils down to this simple observation-- you must love yourself first and love others. This will project to others as sex appeal because, it is all about stature, personal development and image of yourself. Men will look at sexy—no doubt, but it takes the whole person to get into his head, and past the eyes.
