Handsome means attractive. Sexy means there's just something about you that makes me want to drop my panties.

Do you have any tips on how one guy could become sexy?
[–]Tinal85 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Be physically attractive... Which can mostly be attained by going to the gym and being well groomed. Go to a hairstylist. Have clothes that look good on your body frame and are clean and ironed (don't grab a wrinkly shirt out of your laundry basket before a date). Take care of your teeth. Wear nice cologne. Don't smoke. If you drink a lot of coffee make sure to buy some teeth whitening pens (don't have yellow teeth). If you have a beard (I don't particularly like them) make sure it's well groomed.
Make sure your place is clean if you're trying to bring a girl back to your place. It's a real turn off if you get to someone's place and it smells gross, has dirty dishes in the sink, and you're wondering if you'll need a tetanus shot after leaving. Have your sister/ Mom help decorate your place so it seems sophisticated and not like a gross bachelor pad.
Be confident (this one is really important). It's ok if you're not confident in real life ... you're going to have to fake it til you make it (I'm a big proponent of this). Even if you're the sort to spend your weekends playing dungeons and dragons with your boys you're gonna need to bring whatever bad ass wizard energy you can manage out to your dates. I don't mean you should literally talk about being a wizard ... but you should use whatever acting skills you have to show confidence.
I don't know how old you are, if you're still pretty young having certain hobbies can make you seem more sexy. Ex. Play in a band, have a motorcycle, do any kind of extreme sport ... All of this could make one seem pretty sexy. Now I'm in my 30s so to me sexy isn't a guy playing in a band but a guy who has a job and makes at least 6 figures. Getting certain degrees can make attaining a 6 figure income more easily achievable. IT, finance, if you're into math maybe something like an actuary. Whatever your interests are find a job somewhat related that makes good money.
TLDR 1. Look Good 2. Have a nice place 3. Be confident 4. Have a good job
Obviously this is all just my personal opinion but if you can achieve the above you shouldn't have any issues getting women.

I don't ever want to hear again that women don't care about money. Seems like you have to be perfect to get a woman these days.

Handsome means you pass the attractive face threshold. Hot and sexy is when you seduce them and they want to get intimate.
[–]Jamiepappasatlanta 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
But remember very, very few men are handsome. That is a door opener. What happens after that is up to your skills.

bullshit
[–]CocoBabeNYC 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
It means you are nice to look at but not necessarily arousing.

Well my assumption is that it are not doing that well after the dates otherwise why post this question right?
The thing that will make you sexy is confidence aka lack of fear. If you are afraid to express your interest in a woman, if you are afraid of making a move on her, kissing her romantically, talking about sex, etc., how can she rely on you to make her feels safe and protected?
Lmao I’m sorry idk why that sounds funny

I use handsome to describe a more distinguished looking guy.. you know- good looking, well groomed, well dressed, carries himself with confidence and is self assured.
[–]Ajarofpickles97 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It depends, what is the context we are talking about here? I am a male model and have had countless women tell me I am attractive. In the open like walking around I may get a comment or two and a ton of chicks checking me out but that’s it. Online dating however… oh boy women are crazy forward and a very large number of them have strait up asked me for sex. I don’t go for those girls but the point is men are wired to approach women. Girls are not they feel just as aroused as we do but they do not act on it as they would like to be approached. So yes without question it helps but you would be way better off learning game instead of pretending to be hot

Can i see ur transformation. I need the motivation :)
[–]renegade453 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I am very handsome, but struggle with sexappeal. I hear this often of being a 10/10 but the sexual edge is missing.
[–]MistyMaisel 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hmmm, I gotta think about this a little.
Handsome is like: Wow, you're attractive in a way where you'd look so freaking good on the front of our family christmas card and I think I might introduce you to my mother much sooner than normal so we can both giggle and blush about how easy on the eyes you are. She's gonna say you'll make good looking grand-babies. There's also somewhat of an association of you being well-dressed for your body type and clean cut.
or
I say this about brothers and father and men I'm not attracted to, but acknowledge are not ugly by any stretch of the imagination. They just aren't for me and I feel platonically about them.
Hot: Like handsome, but I don't see any future, you ain't meeting mom, and you probably aren't clean cut.
Sexy: Va va voom. I wanna do things with you....but like right now. No implications about your sense of style or our future. I'd call a handsome guy sexy. I'd call a hot guy sexy. It's about the sex.
[–]GreenEyez2019 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Handsome means that are you probably pleasing to the eye. A guy can be "sexy" without even being that good looking because of his personality or charm. In my mind if I call a guy handsome - I mean literally that - he is probably naturally good looking and takes care of himself and carries himself more mature.
[–]teachatthebeach 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I've never told a guy he was sexy, honestly. It seems objectifying, and I have mixed feelings when men call me that, so I don't generally say it to other people.
I would say handsome just means a good-looking guy. Pretty eyes, nice smile? Maybe nice shoulders?
[–]Blaphrodite 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It means you’re not ugly.
It means I don’t mind being seen with you in public.
It means you can be introduced to friends without them fleeing for the hills.
It means you’re potential relationship material
[–]catniagara 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Handsome is an all around personality with good looks, a stable job, and fashion sense.
“Hot” and “Sexy” is on the beach with abs for days doing that thing guys do where they take their shirt off one handed and I literally drool.
In a different context, at a wedding wearing a suit, in a coffee shop having a casual convo, “sexy” can be “handsome” too.

It means money

Seem as beta right?
[–]Vinegar_Tits_9 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not. Even. Close.

It’s the equivalent of a man calling a woman pretty/beautiful. They find you attractive and are probably down to hookup if there’s chemistry
[–]plutonianginger 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Handsome is like Don Draper
[–]roskybosky 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It means your features are proportional, and you have a general sort of attractiveness.
