Sexy People and what they find sexy

[Caution: The following post has exceeded the recommended length for those with short attention spans. Boredom may ensue. Read at your own risk. And for those who didn’t give a shite in the first place, dropped by to leave their link, feign interest, get my hopes up and leave, just…just go you, you mean people]

Hello there!

So, this past Deepavali has been surprisingly ... wait for it ... boring. 


Huh.

And we all know what we do when we're bored don't we? We eat. (By we, I mean you, and by you, I mean me. Just so I don't sound too greedy).

I mean, what's not to love? (By love, I mean eat). This is The Whole Reason I love Malaysia. Every holiday seems to be another thinly veiled excuse to pig out. Food and drink abound. Pass the papadam, watch another football re-run and where the hell is that other pack of peanuts?

All year round.

Gosh, I love Malaysia.

Of course, eating and sitting round watching football 24/7 is all well and good but then comes The Fallout one week later, or as Joshua would like put it, at the beep.

*Beep*. There we go.

Have I gained weight? Yes. Is my skin deliciously oily? Enough to fry chicken off, hun. Hair? You don’t want to know. And have I lost any semblance of a relatively active social life? Wait, what social life? But to answer your question (By your, I also mean mine), Oh god, yes. I am so pathetic.

So these past three days I’ve been hitting the gym, trying to shed off a couple murukku induced pounds and get back in shape before the start of school (Where girls can be cruel, teachers can be frank, boys can be rude and I can be exceptionally thin skinned).



Yoga is my choice fat busting method, it helps build you core muscles, calms the mind and stretches the body.

Of course, we all know what the exercise is really for.

I ish verra verra sexy, no?

I guess that's a no.

Speaking of which, one thing I realized about sexiness is how people’s perception change as they age. The hot young thing in your prefrontal cortex may gradually morph into a mature, self certain woman (Or man, if tha'ts what floats your boat). Some of you may not know this, but what really gets me excited are older guys. Who read. Are funny. And smart. Looks are, well, looks are transient. ‘Nuff said.

So today I bring you two very gracious bloggers and one friend to share their take on sexiness.

This is Jeremy Teo. We met during a public speaking competition two years ago. He’s the radio dj for Red.fm’s morning breakfast show. Rain lookalike, self proclaimed awesomist and all round nice guy. 




1) What would you define as sexiness?
SEXY. Well for me to feel an individual is sexy, it's like when they're comfortable in their own skin. Also, when i think they look hot. Hahahahah


2) What do you usually find sexy in a person?
Honestly, the simple short answer would be hot body. Hot clothes.
But the reason why they rock those things is confidence =)


The very not sexy Jeremy
from Red.fm
3) Would you call yourself sexy?
HELL YEAH! Hahaha. Actually, not. Really. I dunno. I don't think of myself as sexy...
Awesome maybe

4) Sexiest thing a girl can do for a guy (lets try to keep our heads out of the gutter here)
Hmmm...I guess be herself? Be willing to accept the strange things a boy doesHahahah, entah la. I dunno how to be sexy. If i could, i'd get everybody to do it
Hahahahhaha

5) Things you find sexy that other people don't  
Girls who wear glasses when they don't usually wear em.
And when they bring me bubble tea and make me sandwiches
HAHAHAHA



~xXx~



Next is Joshua who has got to be one of the coolest nerds I've met. Besides being a fellow Whovian, he is also a writer, husband, father and freelance copy editor. And he sings (with the guitar). This's his blog and while you're at it, check out some of the amazing stories he's written!!


1) What would you define as sexiness?
I know it sounds cliche, but personality is crucial. A smoking hot body can only get you so far, but if you have nothing in common with the person, there's no connection other than the physical. Let's face it, even the most hardened monogamist will tire of someone if there is nothing connecting them on another level. It's called pillow talk for a reason, and being able comfortable with yourself and your body to lie naked with someone after the act and actually carry on a two-sided conversation is sexy. 

2) What do you usually find sexy in a person?
Is it just me or is there a resemblance?
If we're just talking the physical attributes: the front of a woman, right along the front of the hip bone as it curves inward; the neck, particularly along the collar bone where it meets the neck; I'm also partial to brunettes and redheads. As far as non-physical attributes go, see my answer for question 1, and add sense of humor, acceptance of nerd culture, interest in the same kinds of things, but able to have their own opinions on subjects, doesn't cling. All things being equal, intelligence and kindness and humor and a good heart are key. The hair color and body type come secondary. 

 3) Would you call yourself sexy?
 I'm practically between Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, so I suppose I'm kind of a niche market. 

 4) Sexiest thing a girl can be for a guy
Accepting of the guy's personal quirks, listens to him go on about something he's passionate about, doesn't make fun of him and those quirks to her friends, and when moment of intimacy arrive, she's lost in the moment and not thinking about something else or trying to find something to do right after it's over.

5) Things you find sexy that other people don't 
 I'm quite fond of long hair. It's not something I can really explain, but there it is. Long, dark hair.

Now this here's Snowbrush or also known as Lowell Thomas. He's a real mellow kind of guy, very likable and with a bit more years of experience up his sleeve. You can check out his blog here.

1) What would you define as sexiness?
Theoretically rather than concretely? I don't know.

2) What do you usually find sexy in a person?
I'm mostly into eyes, legs, butts, and brains (not necessarily in that order--ha). A lot of young women nowadays try too hard to look hot, and the clothes they wear appear silly or even slutty rather than sexy. I like attention to wardrobe, but I also like dignity, and that often gets sacrificed.

3) Would you call yourself sexy?
I don't find age spots sexy, and I have them, even on my face. Other than that, I consider myself to be nicer looking than most men my age.

4) Sexiest thing a girl can do for a guy 
Be interested in him. Respond to what he's saying with intelligent comments. Anticipate what makes him happy and do it without being asked. (Men should do these things too.) 


5) Things you find sexy that other people don't  
I think that women in their forties and fifties are often more attractive than women in their twenties, and while the stereotypical Playboy figure is okay, I don't consider it the epitome of female pulchritude. I suspect that men like a greater variety of body types, hair colors, and so forth than women think they do.


~xXx~

Oh my god! It's a super sexy
exercise ball!!!
Hey!!! You're still around. Wow. Well, now that you've read what these amazing (AMAZING) ly sexy people have to say about well, being sexy, I'm passing the ball back. What do you find super sexy in a person? 


Try to come up with as creative an answer as possible and who knows, you just might surprise yourself.

When I get bored I just b*$# *#f

Joshua said...

Thanks for asking for my drivel of a response.

Also, I have to agree with FiSh.

ChiChi81 said...

Ok, that wasn't THAT long of a post haha but yeah, I believe sexy all boils down to perception. Like if you feel sexy, your sexy aura just radiates outwards, and people take notice. Although.. nah, I don't think I'm sexy, I think I need to vamp up some more haha.

Cheers,

You are my new favorite blog. You are magnificent and I will take great joy in following your adventures. Welcome to the Cave of Cool.

p.s. For some reason your messages at my place don't show up but know that I appreciate getting them.

Vin Tsen Gan said...

Woah, your network of acquaintances is like... Wait for it...

Large.

Sorry, I had to do that.

Well, in all seriousness, I think one is truly sexy when she is not busy being too stuck-up and egoistic. Personally, a girl is sexy when she can strike up an engaging conversation with me.

And I can't help but do this: www.vincephilosophy.com. Teehee.

P.s. I still owe you one blog post right, see, I haven't just forgotten about it, yet. It's err, coming soon. Been busy lah. But it will be out pretty soon. :)

Creative answer:

"I find the booty most attractive, i.e. pirate women with a heart of gold. Literally, of course. I might want to bury something for a rainy day, or get fed up and homicidal. All right, I'd likely just try and get it in a divorce over murder. Murder's not cool. It's better to have the legal system tear your heart out, as I think my potentially future pirate wife resembling Penelope Cruz from On Stranger Tides would agree. Although Elizabeth Swan is cute too, I just can't resist that Spanish accent. Oh, wow. This has been revealing."

PAPS said...

Thanks for visiting my blog. I sometimes feel sexy sometimes not. So it depends on my mood, what I wear, and how I feel at that time.
Great interviews. I find the first guy sexy.

I quote Mr Tweedy: It's all in me head!! It's all in me head!!

He ment well (sometimes did) said...

Punk, I would have to say a woman with a beautiful mind and a nice appearance is hotter than a woman from the cover of a magazine. You make light of your appeal but when your words (which are an extension of your mind) are combined with your pictures it is an amazing thing, and hot!
The thing I find sexy that others may not, I dig short women, maybe not so strange, but I'm 6'3".
Thanks for visiting my blog, I won't leave a link, at least not on purpose, I think, and this only applies to me not anyone else, that kind of self- promotion is disingenuous. If you feel you would like to share my words with others I wouldn’t mind, I also would like to put a link to your blog on my next post if that is ok?

Interwebs Fails said...

This was interesting. (:

noura. said...

i think messy hair is so sexy

Loulou said...

yay, i guess i AM a demented depressed self-bashin fool, minus the broken home but plus orphan status, and why should i hide it? at least I am sexy (IRL!) and you are too (for sure)! and what i find really sexy about men is long wavy hair (on their heads), intelligence (inside their heads) musicality and - they have to think thst I am sexy.

PS: your blog is one of the least boring i have come across in long time and this is - a big compliment!

Nadja Notariani said...

Stopping by via Vive-le-Nerd's link. It's great! I love your questions as well as the various ages of the subjects answering.

Sexy is a state of mind. I've known men who were not particularly handsome, yet exuded a sexiness that drew women to them. I've also known men who were quite something to look at - but after opening their mouths - were not sexy at all, and actually became less and less attractive the more they talked....ha!

Such an interesting topic - and also a difficult sense to convey as a writer.

Best of luck with your yoga. ~ Nadja

chrischaos said...

i was thinking about doing yoga. hmm. maybe ill start.

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

You are sexy because you are a force of weather - a good storm that cools everthing down and makes me want to feel refreshed and ready to go again.

laura said...

oh em gee. you are ridiculously funny, girl! And your photos are just PRECIOUS! hahaha. I totally loved reading the different perceptions of sexiness. I guess it's always been subjective!

Snowbrush said...

You created a very nice post with your research.

Tqa â„’ondon said...

I love all your photos. Who took your pictures by the way. (Can't seem to get that question out of my mind lol)

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Camy: LOl noooooo lahhhhhhhhhhh *giggles*

@Mr sukahatiaku: lol you mgm very sexy to begin with lah

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Nixabn: LMAO what the hell is that? Your asterisks are driving my head into the gutter xDD

@Joshua: First person I thought of. I swear xD LOL and nah, I'll have to decline that one

@Chichi81:
LOL hopefully!!! I was staying up all night, wringing my hands, worrying that nobody would like it xD LOL nah, I slept like a baby but the thought was there nonetheless and girl, YOU MEMANG ARE VERRA VERRA SEXY XD

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Cal: OH MY GOD!!! I've finally been initiated!!! xD jokes aside, I have to ask though, is it just me? Does your computer have a thing against my coming over? Why can't we talk any more? why????

@Vin tsen: LOL is that a pun? I didn't catch it (just me being thick again) I waiting *taps watch* haven't got all day you know? xD

@Ben: LMAO!!! I always (always) love your responses xD Elisabeth Swan really does it for me, I'll have to admit. But Orlando...mmm mmm. Murder's not cool. Neither is drugs (I hope someone's reading this. mmm hmm)

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Paps: lol I know right *gushing* tee hee. xDD

@Meitzeu: LOL YEAH! tell it like it is, girl! Pfttttt.....THOSE people. Really!

@hobbit: My hobbit man!!!! LOL love your quote!

@He meant well(sometimes did): I love your POV!!! And I have no problem with that (facts is, I'd pimp myself shamelessly if I could) but I agree with your point about self promotion. I take it as a sort of challenge, Because the fact is, if i'm not interesting, thats my own fault.

@Interwebs fails: LOL thanks!

@Noura: LOL IKR. messy head (or the I Just Got Bonked Head) really does it for me xD

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Loulou: I kowtow to your compliment. I brings me to my knees. Seriously. LMAO "and- they have to think that I am sexy" LOVE THIS!!! hahaha so true xD

@Nadja: WELCOME!!!! gah I love seeing a friendly face. I think I know exactly what you mean lol. But you know what they say, some people talk because they have something to say, and some people ta;l because they have to say something xD

@Chrischaos: I love that name!!! LOL go ahead, you won't regret it x)

@Cal: And you are sexy because you make me feel sexy which my oxytocin is telling me to reciprocate the favor x)

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Laura: lol so are you!!!! xD It has hasn't it? Well, I gues sthats a good thing or we'd all be chasing after guy number one (he's MINE) xDD

@Snowbrush: And you created a very nice response with your level of maturity. Probably some of the best answers I've got.

@London: I LOVE YOUR NAME!!!! LOL thanks girl. in this post it was my brother x)

Valentine said...

What wonderful revelations and perspectives we have here! I love it. AHAH.

As if you need to hit the gym! The only chance I have of having a body like yours is hitting the gym and running for two hours straight! Even at that, I probably wouldn't see results until a year later. AHAH.

Having said that, I am looking into yoga at the moment. All this promise of toned muscles and stretched limbs sounds great!

nixabn said...

It means I "beat off" when I get bored, hahahahaha.

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Valentine: LMAO what??? Nooooooo
I have no body. xD And I know exactly what you mean xD running...and dieting...and all out feeling bad about yourself. I'm still undergoing the process xD Try it!! You wont regret it xD

@Nixabn: LOL OH!
ohhhh
now I get it xDDD

aki! said...

I'm tooootally a Whovian too. Hello!

I also really need to get back in shape. And there's a pile of cookies in front of me. Hmmm.

just tututiny said...

LOL - I almost fell off my chair laughing at your exercise poses. Although the last one is super sexy my dear - and you say you can't pose! I don't do well with exercising, I sweat, breathe too hard, drink too much water and get cramps - oh wait isn't that the purpose of exercising? hahaha - whatever I hate exercising anyways. But I can still go get a cute exercise outfit like yours here ;)

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Aki: OMGGGG another whovian xDDD Come on, take the cookies. At least you'll be happy x)

@tututiny: heyyyy!!!!!! LOL I still ascertain that I can't pose xD I hear you....the hardest part, like they say, is always getting started.

Jaya J said...

Sexy to me is being smart and knowledgeable and confident without being cocky. Physical traits like broad shoulders and strong hands add points too :p

For women, it's all of the above character traits and a good hair style and sporty legs will do. At least in my opinion.

Lino said...

Flipping love your blog, I always read avidly and forget to comment. MUST DO BETTER. and, it's safe to say, you're pretty damn sexy!

The sexiest thing about a person is confidence, not cockiness.

Tinfoil Tiaras said...

Bahaha I just came across your blog and I'm so glad I did because this post made me laugh out loud especially 'Is my skin deliciously oily? Enough to fry chicken off' I loved the sexy answers- esp when girls wear glasses who usually don't because that's me and my man loves it too! Amazing post! :)

Punk Chopsticks said...

@JayaJ: lol EXACTLY!! hahahaha thats an incredibly objective answer. so true x)

@Lino: ahahahhaa I know right xD Cockiness is such a turn off xD And it's safe to reply you're so much hotter xDD

@tinfoil tiaras: LOL I think that's pretty sexy too!! Ahahahha I should like to see you in your glasses some time

Andreas said...

One of the most attractive characteristics a woman can have has to be that she likes me.

That being said I have fallen for a few women who obviously viewed me with disdain.

Megan said...

Okay, this post is awesome, I really enjoyed hearing from the different perspectives! And I wish I lived someone where people were openly truthful about looks, that might give me some motivation!

Loulou said...

ohhh hun i know this! i have deleted so many stories, as if it would hurt to leave them on some harddisk...the therapist is in his late 50s btw, i adore him but he might not be my target reader anyway... I am really curious as i am convinced i would LOVE your "stilted" characters (and lets be honest written down - no matter how hard you try - everything will be "stilted" in some way)

and i am so with you when it comes to the right publisher! let's make it big, right?

MUCH LURVE

L.

PS: regarding this ever lasting virtual love of mine...i might make an exception in your case!

rhymeswithplague said...

I am still boggled to think you asked that dirty old man Lowell Thomas what he found sexy instead of asking me....

I'm just kidding.

You are mentioned in my latest post.

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Andreas: oh no! Gah I know how that feels... Unrequited love can be a bitch.

@megan: MEGAN!!! Ah I'm such a fan!! Lol I know right? Well, lies and politeness are the grease that keeps society going. Not that I agree with it, but that's how life is I guess

Punk Chopsticks said...

@loulou: ahahahahaa I know right!! Well, in a way thats the beauty and drawback of literature. You should probably find someone within your target audience, however th advice your therapist gave sounds pretty objective.

I seriously can't wait to see what you come up with!!

@rhymeswithplague: lol! I'll remember You volunteering for the future posts. I'm honored btw xD

Bella Enveeus said...

*I'm sexy and I know it... Wiggle wiggle wiggle..*

Hehehhee..

If physical attributes, I would say the eyes is the first thing I look at on a person and eyes that are animated and has character is super sexy to me.. I have known some people (guys) that can make you feel like drowning and he is the only person who can help you just by the look they give you with their sexy eyes.. :D

But overall, a combination of confidence and humility is sexy to me. A person can walk & talk with an air of confidence but ego always makes them look like a snob and that's such a turn-off. But if there's humility along with the confidence, it's just hawt.. ;)

Punk Chopsticks said...

Lol I know right xDD I love the way you describe guys like that...mmm mmm xDD

Charlie said...

Hahaha what an intriguing post! I really enjoy your writing style. Thanks so much for the lovely comment <3

Punk Chopsticks said...

Lol thanks xD And you're welcome

Cora said...

I think the sexiest thing is a person who accepts other people for who they are and doesn't feel the need to try to change or control others as if they were blobs of clay.

A great smile doesn't hurt either. :-)

Vapid Vixen said...

I absolutely positively LOVED this post!!! And loved that you involved your fellow bloggers. And your workout pictures? "I ish verra verra sexy, no?" Too cute!!

This has changed as I've gotten older but the sexiest thing I've found in men is their confidence. When they have it without being cocky, SO very hot!

Punk Chopsticks said...

@Cora: LOL I second thhat!!! The sad thing is that people nowadays do try to change their partners (wait, NOWADAYS?) even if they say they won't

Vapid vixen: And I love your blog!!!!! Ahahahahhaha I'm such a a huge fan and you're so right, cockiness has got too be the biggest turn off there ever was
