To me, the word “sexy” is anything but a compliment.
When a man tells a woman that she is “sexy”, it is
not hard to guess where his mind is headed. Of all
the words in the English language a man could use
to describe a woman he finds attractive, the best he
can come up with is the overused, misunderstood
“sexy”? The word “sexy” means “concerned
predominately or excessively with sex; risque;
sexually interesting or exciting; radiating sexuality.”
Women are more than their sex appeal; women are
not just objects here to appeal to a man’s sexual
interests. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that one
of the first things that attracts a man to a woman and
vice versa is their physical appearance. However, this
“sexy” physical appearance fades with age; this “sexy”
physical appearance may not be available at all times.
Now, I can’t speak for all women, but as for myself, I do
not wake up in the mornings looking “sexy” nor do I look
“sexy” when I’m sick. There are some days when I’m lazy
and look like a total bum. So if my “sexy” appearance is
what’s supposed to keep you here by my side, then
frankly this will not last at all. Women are more than
“sexy”. We have a beautiful mind filled with even more
beautiful thoughts. We are strong, loving, and kind.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made, one of God’s
marvelous works. We are women…crafted from the rib
of man. The woman who is more than just “sexy”, even
more than just beautiful is the woman who has Jesus
Christ living in her and His light shining through her…
now that’s a remarkable woman….
