    OP is fishing for something specific, but no one has hit on it yet.

    I like an air of WTF, complimented by emotional accessibility.

    If you can make me laugh- sexy.
    If you are well spoken- sexy.
    If you can talk dirty to me without sounding like an uneducated horny teenage boy- sexy.

    If you can combine all three, I will be your slave.
    Oh, and tattoos help :bigsmile:

    Can I change my answer to this?

    I found my answer, but someone already gave it XD

    The Smell of Love
    Why do some people smell better to you? A look at how human body odor influences sexual attraction.
    By F. Bryant Furlow, published on March 01, 1996 - last reviewed on April 22, 2012

    After long dismissing the search for a human pheromone as folly, scientists have begun to take a second look at how human body odor influences sexual attraction. The magic scent is not some romantic elixir but the aromatic effluence of our immune system. The only trouble is we don't give it half a chance.
    How do we humans announce, and excite, sexual availability? Many animals do it with their own biochemical bouquets known as pheromones. "Why do bulls and horses turn up their nostrils when excited by love?" Darwin pondered deep in one of his unpublished notebooks. He came to believe that natural selection designed animals to produce two, and only two, types of odors—defensive ones, like the skunk's, and scents for territorial marking and mate attracting, like that exuded by the male musk deer and bottled by perfumers everywhere. The evaluative sniffing that mammals engage in during courtship were clues that scent is the chemical equivalent of the peacock's plumage or the nightingale's song—finery with which to attract mates.

    In the following century, a rich array of animal pheromones were documented for seals, boars, rodents, and all manner of other critters. But not for human beings.

    Some of Darwin's contemporaries embraced human uniqueness in this regard as evidence of our inevitable ascendance, as if Nature's Plan somehow called for the evolution of a nearly naked two-legged primate with a poor sense of smell to conquer the Earth. The French physician Paul Broca—noting that primates' social olfactory abilities are diminished compared to those of other mammals—asserted that monkeys, apes, and humans represent ascending steps from four-legged sniffing beasts to sight-oriented bipeds.

    Monkeys, he argued, have smaller "smell brains" than other mammals, and apes' brains are even smaller than that. Among humans, only the tribal "primitives," Broca wrote, could still attach erotic import to the bodily smells of man.

    More enlightened researchers dismissed such views as racist tripe. But they still noted that humans engage in very little scent-driven socializing—compared to, say, the urine-washing displays of monkeys (during which urine is rubbed on the feet to attract mates).

    To make matters worse, humans seemed to lack the hardware for communicating by scent. Pheromone reception in other species is the business of two little pits (one in each nostril) known collectively as the vomeronasal organ (VNO). Few scientists of the time claimed to have been able to locate a human VNO. Those who did complained that the VNO is so small that they could detect it only rarely.

    But most scientists, without bothering to look, simply dismissed the idea of a VNO in humans. It's been scientific dogma for most of this century that humans do not rely on scent to any appreciable degree, and that any VNOs found are vestigial throwbacks. Then, in the 1930s, physiologists declared that humans lack the brain part to process VNO signals, firmly closing the book on any role for body odor in human sexual attraction. Even if we had a VNO, the thinking was, our brains wouldn't be able to interpret its signals.

    Recent discoveries suggest, however, that the reports of our olfactory devolution have been greatly exaggerated.

    Some suspected as much the whole time. Smell researchers Barbara Sommerville and David Gee of the University of Leeds in England observed that smelling one another's hands or faces is a nearly universal human greeting. The Eskimo kiss is not just a rubbing of noses but a mutual sniffing. "Only in the Western world," the researchers point out, "has it become modified to a kiss." Hands and faces may be significant choices for these formalities—they are the two most accessible concentrations of scent glands on the human body besides the ears.

    Scent And Sentiment

    Curiously, remembering a smell is usually difficult—yet when exposed to certain scents, many people—of whom Proust is the paragon—may suddenly recall a distant childhood memory in emotionally rich detail. Some aromas even affect us physiologically. Laboratory researchers exploring human olfaction have found that:

    A faint trace of lemon significantly increases people's perception of their own health.
    Lavender incense contributes to a pleasant mood—but it lowers volunteers' mathematical abilities.
    A whiff of lavender and eucalyptus increases people's respiratory rate and alertness.
    The scent of phenethyl alcohol (a constituent of rose oil) reduces blood pressure.
    Such findings have led to the rapid development of an aromatherapy industry. Aromatherapists point to scientific findings that smell can dramatically affect our moods as evidence that therapy with aromatic oils can help buyers manage their emotional lives.

    Mood is demonstrably affected by scent. But scientists have found that, despite some extravagant industry promises, the attraction value in perfumes resides strictly in their pleasantness, not their sexiness. So far, at least, store-bought scent is more decoration than mood manager or love potion. A subtle "look this way" nudge to the nose, inspiring a stranger's curiosity, or at most a smile, is all perfume advertisers can in good conscience claim for their products—not overwhelming and immediate infatuation.

    Grandiose claims for the allure of a bottled smell are not new. In their haste to mass-market sexual attraction during the last century, perfumers nearly drove the gentle musk deer extinct. In Victorian England, a nice-smelling young lady with financial savvy could do a brisk business selling handkerchiefs scented with her body odor.

    Body language is also important for sexiness. This requires confidence, but if you master it you will make most guys melt for you.

    A confidence rooted in humility.

    Many times, people say they are attracted to confidence. And many people game it. There are many who can be all cocky, make eye contact, have swagger, but nothing to base it on, nor any real connection to reality.

    A humble person rooted in reality is supremely confident, even if s/he is not the fake type you love.

    Another vote for confidence. Get yourself a hot pair of jeans that flatter your current body type and own it

    being sexy has nothing to do with the clothes you wear, the makeup you buy or the way you style your hair. you have to 'exude' sexiness, you have to walk sexy, talk sexy, just -be- it.

    walk with confidence, but it can't be "in your face," or it will come off as cocky/unappealing. smile a lot, look and feel happy...and if in doubt, wear some tight jeans.
