Jackson, really? Hmmm, I can tell you that my LDH would have something different to say. He'd agree wholeheartedly with what you wrote as far as saying what he likes about me and my endearing qualities. If, however, we are talking about sexual attraction, nope a painting aint gonna do it. Unless it's a painting of my azz, LOL.
I suppose what I'm getting at is that a person is comprised of a bunch of different moods and urges. I don't think you can break it down to "Some people are attracted to painted nails and some people are attracted to paintings"..it's deeper than that. Some days my H wants a more intimate, deeper connection, other times he just wants the eye candy.
However, I don't even think we are talking necessarily about what men like. This thread is not even ABOUT men. It's about women and how seemingly small differences like underclothes or manicures send a subtle message to the woman's brain and makes her feel differently about herself, thereby sending off a *totally* different vibe than she normally would.
I can tell you that my everyday wardrobe consists of casual mom-style clothes: jeans, capris, sandals, etc. However, there is a big difference in my attitude towards MYSELF when I am wearing sexy panties underneath the jeans and high heeled sandals instead of flip flops. It is this feeling that these ladies--and myself--are trying to capture. It is not necessarily about trying to attract a man, it's about trying to attract yourself.
