What Makes a Woman Sexy?

A Follow-Up to My Article on Plastic Surgery

Mike Oberg
After writing my last article on breast augmentations and plastic surgery, I realized that I had gone off "half-cocked" (This does not imply a need for plastic surgery!). Frank Mucci, of all people, made it clear to me what I should have written in the second half of the article after presenting the facts that breast augmentation is now the most popular plastic surgery procedure. Frank said that he preferred "women in their original package".

So, here is a serious follow-up to my somewhat lame attempts at humor in the first article. Having been a male for as long as I can remember, I am a self-professed authority on what makes a woman sexy and attractive. Here is my list of six qualities of a sexy woman:

Confidence - A sexy women exudes confidence. We all (men and women) prefer to be around people who are sure of themselves without being cocky or arrogant.

Sense of Adventure - A sexy woman is looking for adventure and wants to be engaged in life; she is vivacious.

Open - A sexy women is open to those around her, not untouchable or unapproachable.

Intelligent - A sexy woman is smart and not afraid to show it! Intelligence is power and sexy woman are powerful!

Comfortable in her own skin - This is consistent with being open and confident. A sexy woman must feel good about herself!

Authentic - Lastly, a sexy woman does not hide behind a façade; she shows her true self to the world.

Oh, sorry...I forgot to mention the physical characteristics that make a woman sexy. Ummm...it really doesn't matter if she has the qualities above! Having the "right stuff" inside will shine through any exterior and be sexy. On the other hand, a women with a classically beautiful body will soon lose her appeal if she doesn't have many of these qualities.

So, to any woman considering cosmetic surgery: if it will truly make you more confident and more comfortable in your own skin, it might be a good investment, but don't count on it. The belief that you are not enough is rarely changed by anything you do in the external world, including changes to your body. Everything you need is already inside you, just waiting for you to recognize it! Be sexy!!

    Nice! I think the same way, only about men. Oh, yeah, I am a female.

    This is good stuff. Confidence is a big one, it affects body language. I have to agree, if she has a fishing boat her stock goes up a little.
