I am talking about Sprezzatura, the Italian word for looking cool and elegant but in nonchalant, relaxed way - naturally well put together, definitely masculine, not overdone

I'm usually a wine guy but it's been tequila tonight
Facetimed with dd last night and she was drinking Tequila Sunrises. I wanted......
Maybe a drink tonight.
Dressed up/fancy to eat out? Not my thing. I feel like I have to be a certain way and act appropriately, like I get all blushed if I slop food in my lap and have to do the club soda thing and all that. Nah, I'd rather be able drop food in my lap without everybody watching me like I'm the one freak in the establishment. Then there's the burping afterwards.
Actually I prefer take-out, bringing a pizza home, fighting dh over the last piece, sitting there with sauce on my teeth, and cursing him as we play games together.
I just don't like being in public.

Nothing wrong with good foods and short skirts.

A girl should wear whatevertf she feels confident in. Don't let someone else's opinion stop you from wearing a bikini when it makes you feel like a million bucks to put one on.3 -

Trick question? 🤔 I've seen many a "monokini" that leave less to the imagination than bikinis.
Anybody should wear what they like.1 -

I suggest going for comfort and personal taste. That's what everyone else will be doing.
You might be mad at yourself when you see hundreds of people wearing what you wanted to wear if you decide against it in order to please them.1 -
I feel more comfortable in a bikini that compliments my body, than a one piece, but that's me. My stretch marks and cellulite will be visible, my small boobs will be out, my white af, pasty skin will be prominently displayed. Those that can't handle it are invited to avert their eyes.4

No lies here
***not sure what I feel comfortable in...probably sweats...but that'd be a little hot for beach1 -

I realize that I am smaller than average and a lot of people might think that's really easy for me to feel, considering. Even so, it's taken me a lot to get to the point of accepting that I can't change anything except the bust size (with major surgery) and being closer to what I was raised thinking of as ideal is not attainable. I also realized that I always recognize beauty in others that don't fit in the teeny, tiny range of ideal, I need to work harder at seeing that in myself.0 -

Amen.
That said, I haven't felt confident in a bikini since I was 15 (and even then I think I only wore it to annoy my parents) so my million bucks bathing suit would most likely be a tankini top and some sort of athletic shorts.1 -

I also appreciate all body types. I've seen all types of figures in bikinis and thought they looked good. Wish I also could feel that way about myself2 -

Depends what your standard of a “good body” is. I think many peoples view of a good body has been skewed by unrealistic beauty standards via social media and sometimes even television. I believe if you wear a suit and YOU feel good in it, then you should wear it with confidence. I’m a mother and I’m surely not perfect; stretch marks, cellulite, all the things that come with growing a beautiful little soul. I try to view it as a beautiful thing and embrace the body I’ve been given that I work hard to keep healthy, whether perfect in the eyes of others or not. Women are often far too hard on themselves, especially mother’s. I say put on the two piece, look in the mirror with a clear and healthy mindset, and if you like it and feel good wear it. If you don’t find something that makes you feel joyful and wear it instead!3 -
On the subject of 2 piece bathing suits; definitely wear what YOU like and feel comfortable in, and to heck with others. You're not there to end up in Cosmo.
Now for myself, I went for 50 years without wearing a bathing of any kind at all.
Definitely have some self esteem issues leftover from childhood. But when I went to Florida in August one year, I had no choice. Then going to the Blue Lagoon I again had no choice. But for those 2 times I felt better about where my body was at.
It makes me sad to think of all the fun I missed out on by worrying about what others think. Don't be that person.4 -
I always wear a one-piece.
..... unless I'm feeling extra pretty.4 -

Whats something you are drawn to that someone else might feel is strange. For instance we seem to all agree humor is sexy...but clearly not everyone finds feet hot.
I will not mention most of the things I am drawn to as they tend to get me a lot of judgment (and are not appropriate for MFP), however, there are some I can mention.- Deep (nearly philosophical) understanding of nerd culture. Not just one facet of it, but a jack-of-all trades in the realm of nerdiness.
- A person who is more creator than consumer, as Twitch mentioned. Those who create I am drawn to because I also create and I find the process by which things are made to be absolutely fascinating.
- Fellow bookworms. The more you read, the more drawn I am to you. However, I can appreciate you from afar as I recognize the faux pas of interrupting someone in the middle of a good book.

Not for me, thanks.
1.) There's nothing I could wear that would make me "sexy", so that's a moot point.
2.) My partner hates dressing up in suits unless he has to (military, so always in a uniform anyway).
3.) Most fancy dinners (IE. dinners I've spent the most on), were not food or places worth the amount of money I put into them.
I'd rather go to an amusement park all day, lol.2 -

Wear what you want; if people judge you for what you choose to wear on your body, then the problem is them, not you. *kitten* em'.
Also, one piece swimsuits can look terrible on people with a gut, I should know, I'm one of them. Certain two piece ensembles actually look better.1 -
Do you think being on mfp impacts the way peeps see their SO? I mean
I've seen a few rl relationships tank here. I think that whilst its nice when you meet fun, lively , interesting people on here who are complimentary and kind.. do you think when the computer is turned off and they interact with their SO , they are in some way disappointed or dissatisfied . Maybe the grass is greener kinda thing.?
Thoughts?
Question 2.. does mfp change people? I wonder, does it make the shy... bolder? Does that carry over to real life? With girl empowerment and supporting each other here, does that make an impact in rl. 🤷♀️
What do you think?
I know a few times when one of the ladies here has had a problem and they're received lots of compassionate posts I've picked up a few tidbits I shared with my daughters , so there's definitely some good to be had here.2 -

I saw a meme here not so long ago
😂🤣
what maybe happens is peeps come here and they've got people interacting with them of the opposite sex.. its fun and exciting.. then they turn off the computer and what they have at home isn't as appealing... do you think that happens?
Oops edited the wrong one.. this was just a follow on from my post above 😬1 -

Yeah, you'd think a happy relationship wouldn't be changed..
I do remember once though thinking I wish my bf at the time would be as complimentary as here lol 😁
Hmm maybe the compliments and fun interactions here give us an exaggerated expectation of those around us in rl? 🤔3 -
