Perhaps I was really bored. And perhaps my crazy-coked self is kicking in again, that I decided to ask “Would you rather be called ‘hot’ or ‘sexy’?” via Formspring.
Then I started to get funny replies. One of those was by my friend Jennie, who said that the two words have the same connotation.
For me, being hot is different from being sexy. While one may both be hot and sexy, being called hot or sexy in different occasions gives one a different ego boost.
Being hot, for me is reserved for those who can make you look at them in a near-sexual way. The ones who have men’s-magazine-worthy body. Or if not, those who can “heat up” the place when they walk in. I liken being hot to only those who have the generic 36-25-36 or stats close to that.
Other synonyms would include: smokin’, luscious, chick, sex-y, witiwew..

On the other hand, it would probably make me smile if a guy calls his girl sexy This, if I may be allowed to equate, is synonymous to being beautiful. This is more of the inner confidence thing. Being called sexy is sweet. Being called sexy is romantic. Loose shirts are sexy. Unbuttoned polo shirts on a lazy day are sexy. Men wearing white are sexy. Anyone can be called sexy without having the conventionally pretty face or body.

“I believe in miracles. Where you from, you sexy thing?”
So, if I may choose, I’d rather be sexy than hot. :)
