OP: What makes someone "sexy"?

Okay, here's my question for your consideration and feedback. Besides the obvious physical assets, what are the more intangible qualities that give someone sex appeal? For instance, I can think of some celebrities who exude sex appeal but are really quite average looking when you stop to think about it. So what is it exactly that makes a woman (or man) attractive?

I'll suggest the following to get things rolling:

* self confidence
* friendly, down-to-earth
* a hint of mystery
* intelligence and wit
* take risks, live life wholeheartedly
* great eye contact

a great personality
which includes things like humor...to not take themselves so seriously...to be able to let themselves go and have fun in life but to not let the fun completely take over...friendly.

my guy ain't much of a looker (well he has always been to me but what i find attractive, most people don't. lol) but he has the best personality ever. he really does. and that just makes him sexy on a whole nother level.

I agree 100% that a good sense of humor is a big turn-on.

My guess is that self confidence along with personality makes a person very sexy. I know a guy at my job, and he is not realy good looking but he get's a lot of very good looking girls, and all because he is a very secure guy with a great sense of humor. He may not be good at some other things but i bet he can get any girl he wants.

I would add honesty and a willingness to really open up and share real feelings.

I also find it a huge turn on when I guy can really communicate. Might be one of the reason I love to chat so much. It forces you to talk.

I would have to say a good sense of humor. And I know it's strange but I like someone who irritates me a little. Someone I can spar with.

My hubby irrates me on a regular basis.

Seriously I do agree with this too. My best relationships have always involved a good amount of sparing and teasing. Sometimes I think if people heard the things my DH and I say to each other they would think we hated each other. But we think its fun.
