Male Fashion and Sexyness - Topic of the day 7/17/24

What do you wear when you want to feel sexy? And to expand on this,why do you want to feel sexy? We quite often advise against dressing for the purpose of attracting the desired sex, but isn't that what dressing sexy is all about? Consider the fact that the person writing this is a devil's advocate before you lambast him for posing this question.

I said I’d steer clear of this one but nvm. Feeling „sexy“ as a big guy is weird. I feel sexy when I look in the mirror and see more of the person I’m working towards rather than where I am right now I guess. For me that has to do with my looks feeling comfortable, as well as „flattering“.

like u wouldn't wear stage outfits but idols get dressed all the time by their stylist (to fulfill sponsorships also)

I think this is probably my most 'conventionally' sexy outfit but for me personally it didn't feel that way because this isn't really me, it was essentially a costume I put on for the fit battle.

tbh this prompt has me thinkin hard because a part of my reasons for putting shit on is genuinely to be attractive. But the people i want to attract = all. But I'm also in a closed relationship so the goal isn't attracting people for any specific reason. So why is that a goal? Idk I probably like the feeling of power ig!

+1 for art's statement about authenticity - first fit was put together by my partner based on what she finds attractive and it's much more cohesive yet it felt like a costume so i didn't feel sexy at all. Second fit is simple and true to me and I felt like a million bucks in it.

zeometer
zeometer4mo ago
as someone who did not have a great self-image until very recently bc obese it took a while to grapple with the idea a) of being sexy and b) being physically desirable in dress. i think it's further compounded by being a gay man, where (if you're looking) how you are considered desirable and what one would consider desirable exist on a similar plane
zeometer

i've come to associate sexiness with confidence and with ease, and that tends to come about more in a fit on the top vs on the bottom

I feel very similar to holfram on this one, my weight has given me some extremely hard to deal with body issues and seeing myself as sexy is not really something i can do at this point in my life.

To give a serious answer here after diverting it to tolkien somehow (not helping on the us as experts of male sexiness allegations here) I would agree with what was said by many other people earlier, mainly Ian I think. A lot of stuff that makes me feel confident in that way are things that my partner finds attractive. And to echo what Art said those things also feel authentic to myself which probably only further helps with the confidence etc

Echoing digs and eurodigs. I wrote yesterday that my style has gotten better just by posting in WAYWT, but I think it has also come with a lot of confidence. Learning how to look my best has sort of gotten me out of my head and made me feel great about who I am.
Spuck
Spuck4mo ago
It always surprises me by what other people think looks hot on me compared to my.. not explicitly going for sexy as a vibe. The westernwear stuff in moderation is apparently catnip
Shrimp
Shrimp4mo ago
And with that confidence/comfort in my own skin has led to feeling alot better in other ways including feeling a lot sexier

I've personally felt more body confident after I started lifting, I was strictly a cross country runner before I got into kettlebells in 2020 after a hip injury

Obviously it’s hard to feel sexy when I look nothing like what’s „supposed to be sexy“. But that doesn’t mean I can’t feel good about myself.

Digs

Back when i was swagless i prioritized sexiness as like a primary factor when getting dressed to go out and now it is very much a low priority for me. But in dressing in way that makes me happier i have increased my confidence and become, therefore, sexier.

I feel sexy when I wear what I like. If I show skin and I like it then it’s sexy, if I don’t show skin and I like it, then it is still sexy.

I've been trying really hard to find something to say in this thread cuz I'm asexual so I have never ever dressed to attract anyone nor have i felt societal pressure to but i think other people like jawntanamo and meat (and others) put it best. it's rly about how self confident i feel in what i wear more than dressing for x group of people. i feel like my friends can tell when i feel confident vs when i don't and i noticed i mostly get irl compliments when i myself feel good

I don’t understand why people go to the gym for looks. I’ve recently started physical therapy for my slipped disc and I fully understand why it’s good for me. But I cannot wrap my mind around how it’s fun.

Not in any competitive manner mind you, but it’s a sport where body and mind are both challenged/occupied by correct form and stuff and that was just right for me. Also yelling makes mind go empty.

uhhh one of them is an old-style bodybuilder whose reels are primarily feats of strength (ie, ripping a stack of cards in half and then quartering them, or bursting a rubber water jug with nothing but their own breath), and the other is a butch lesbian who gives guides to bulk up in ways that can help target areas of the body that give dysphoria or to prep for a surgery and also just to get better endurance lemme look and see specifics

To go back to being serious for a moment i think its important to remember that sexiness is such a nebulous idea that its a fool’s errand to try and somehow min max it based of some kind of societal standard. People are so varied in what they like and find attractive that they only thing that truly makes sense is to be authentic to yourself

Getting in this a bit late, apologies: So what im getting is that for most of y'all being sexy is very linked to feeling like yourself? To me that totally tracks, because when i dress in a way that I assume is sexy I very much don't feel like myself and its more of a fun little role I play. Which makes sense, because im asexual and all that :xd: I literally once had a friend who told me that they find basically everyone at least low key hot. Then they paused and said "well, on second thought, i don't think I find you hot" 🤣
SteezeTrain

I think a lot of "feeling sexy" is having a Clark Kent vibe. Like you have a secret beneath this careful exterior you're showing to the world. And I think a person can do that in myriad ways. I get how showing more skin can be hinting at the secret beneath, but I still think traditional clothing can do it too. I don't think showing skin should be inherently sexualized, of course, but if that's the intention, it certainly works too.
