What do you think about the word "sexy"?

i absolutely hate it! I hate the labels "sexy" and "hot" (not that anyone calls me that them.. lol) they're just disgusting to me... like if there are 2 guys equally alike in looks, personality, etc. and one calls me sexy while the other calls me cute I'd much rather pick the one that called me cute... anyone else feel the same way? I feel like I'm the only person who is put-off by these words...

  • I would like to be thought of as sexy by a guy that cares about me, but most of all I'd rather be pretty/beautiful. Cute sounds like a lesser version of pretty and hot. Like a girl that is barely attractive would get called cute by a guy, because hot and sexy is prettier than a cute girl. Like Reese Witherspoon is cute but Megan Fox is sexy. But who is prettier overall - Megan. So if someone calls me cute, I assume they don't think very much of my looks. But then if a guy I didn't know too well called me sexy, I'd assume that he's only thinking of me on a sexual level, like I'm an object and not really a whole entire person.

  • Yea, I suppose it can be degrading when somebody labels you that. Personally, I love it my boyfriend or my interest tells me how sexy/hot I am. BUUUT, only if it's every now and then. I'd rather it be the norm for him tell me that I look pretty or how beautiful he thinks I am. There is nothing wrong w being sexy or hot tho:)

    Us girls already have our guards up with the guys we are talking to because there are so many players who only want one thing from us.

  • ive been called sexy, hot and cute at the same time. so thanks for the compliments altogether and I leave it to the ones who gave them to me what they really think about me. either way, words are words. so don't dwell on them too much. hey baby its a compliment. just say thanks. :)

  • Many women feel the same way as you. You don't want to be objectified or thought of as something that he can just sleep with without caring for you emotionally. However, I don't think that you hear it the way he says it. Unless he's just very creepy, sexy to him means the same thing as beautiful or pretty. Sure, he should try to be more respectful of the way you might feel, but don't fault him on his vocabulary because he may actually think that you are a gorgeous human being and would really like to get to know you, but also admire's your good looks.

    Good luck, pretty lady!

  • Yeah must be hard to be good looking. I find it flattering when people say such things. If I called you sexy it wouldn't mean I want to date you, it would be a good motivating factor but your intelligence and personality would determine weather I fall for you or not.

    I can understand if some sleeze ball says it and I wouldn't say it to someone I just met but I'd like my woman to feel sexy. Who wouldn't :)

    Besides cute seems like a bit of an understatement, it's kinda like someone saying you are 'ok'... Each to their own I guess.

  • It's just a word. I'm pretty sure it can have different connotations with different people using the word. Also, I'm sure that tone of voice and personality and the context is always a factor.

    I don't really like the word because it's lack of imagination. There are many other words to describe someone, but sometimes sexy is the perfect word to use, in certain situations. Timing and such

    • I agree with magiic mike.

    • Ya I understand the situational stuff but I still don't like it!!! like one day my sort-of boyfriend (now sort-of ex) and I were kissing and he said "your so sexy" and I was instantly disinterested.... maybe I'm just weird... ya that's probably it..

    • You aren't weird for that. I'm sure there is a reason that he is a sort-of anything. That may be personal so I won't touch too much on that unless you divulge, but it's totally understandable that as a good looking person you often have people that are attracted to looks. That can be a turn off, I totally understand that because that turns me off too! But when you know a person is attracted to you for more than just your looks, is it really that much of a dealbreaker?

    • Show All
  • What if I said 'you're very attractive' or 'you're a beauty' ?

    Is that ok? That's what I use cause I'm genuine about it.

    • Yes those are totally fine.. its just the connotation behind calling someone hott... uck!

  • I feel the exact same if someone called me sexy I feel this instant urge to roundhouse kick them in the face... it feels like they have put me down in some way...

    • Yay someone who agrees with me! :D

  • hmm..i love it when girls call meh sexy<3
