I will admit it. I think I’m hot. I am in no way ultra vain or snobbish however I know what my assets are versus my weaknesses and I work the hell out of those assets when necessary. Yes, I am one of those women who are guilty of smiling and being flirty with a police office to get out of a ticket. I am guilty of being extra talkative and creating mock interest in order to get a hook up or deal when I am buying something if I see the salesperson is a guy. Especially if he gives me any inclination that he is even mildly attracted to me. Oh yes buddy, you will be hooking a girl up in some way! You better knock 10% off or something. Can a sista get free delivery with that as well?
I’m not the only one. Does this make me less of the She-Ra The Warrior Princess character (my favorite childhood cartoon) that I consider myself to be? Hell no. Even She-Ra knew how to flip her hair and swing her sword around with such vigor that even He-Man thought about incest a time or two. Think I’m tripping? Catch up on your She-Ra reruns.
I am a whole person. I have strengths and weaknesses that make me that person. Some of them include my looks. God made me whole and he also created me so that ALL of my strengths aide me in being powerful in every way. Therefore I feel as though I should be able to implement every single bit of myself to fulfill my goals. From my looks to my intellect, to my smile, to my warmth, to the sway in my walk. It is the beauty of being a woman. Men wish they could work it like we do. In some cases they do but nothing can replace a woman’s natural beauty and ability to smile a man down until he submits. It is true. I have never met a woman who is not guilty of this act. I might be condemned for admitting it but I like that my attractiveness can be used to my advantage as much as my intellect in certain situations. Lets be honest, the average man is not thinking about how many degrees I have or how well I can formulate an essay. At least, not initially he is not.
Ladies, do you feel it is ever acceptable to use your looks to your benefit? If so, in what situations?
To be honest, LJ, I'm disappointed. In ewsence, you are admitting to being manipulative. God created you to be a beautiful woman; I do not believe he did it in order that you would use it to target the weakness of the flesh for your own advantage.
I do not approve of flirtaciousness, for it is deceitful.
