je ne sais quoi

some of us have it and some of us don't. but then perhaps more importantly some of us know how to use it.

in the midst of inspiration from four realistic role models, it raised a rather intriguing question. and it all revolves around the idea of the power of sex. the question itself can be construed then as...

"which gender is more guilty of using the power of sex to their advantage?"

by all means if we want to make this personal go ahead, give real-life examples. only god knows that i will most likely to in my oh so subtle way and that you guys will jump to your own conclusions. so let's begin the exploration.

what am i really pointing at with the question? well there's the proverbial scene of the chick next to the highway hitching up her skirt and showing some leg to hitch a free ride. and there she is using the power of what mother nature gave her.

so with that image riding high in our minds, it makes you (or really me) wonder have we (i) used the power of the differences between the genders to advanced ourselves? to get that little bit more of a discount? to get that guy to drive us and go through the hell of finding a carpark at 24hr x-mas shopping at chadstone? and if so, then is it us girls who are more guiltys of taking advantage of you guys just cos we're pretty little things, and we know how to flaunt our assests? or are you guys smarter than we think and have instead sucked us girls into some kinda "i am woman, hear me roar!" independence bubble and are indeed the better sex at manipulating the circumstances to your advantage.

so, just who is the more powerful sex?

i think it's more like if you have the sex appeal you'd be more likely to use it.

members both of the genders who don't think themselves to be sexy enough probably won't attempt to use their looks and bodies to persuade decisions made by other people.

but out of the people that have it, and use it, i'd say the young ladies get away it.

are the ladies powerful? maybe not.
cunning? i'd tend to agree with.

so if my mind was to go off on a wild tangent jashman, could it be said that maybe men then are the weaker sex in terms of this topic (not in a general sense), in order for women to get what they want, when they want just simply by using the power of their sexuality?

It's hard to put this in such a general sense because everybody is different.

It's been said that men are more "visual" compared to women. I don't know how accurate this is, but it seems to be portrayed in popular media.

Think back to the pretty lady who tries to get away with a speeding/parking fine of some sort by flicking back her hair, increasing her cleavage and batting her eyelids at the police officer who leans down into the car to give the ticket.

Perhaps it would also work vice-versa where the officer is female and the guy is of equal attractiveness.

But something tells me that more women that men will have self control when faced with situations like this, and attempt to be unbiased when making decisions.

There are many different types of power. In this case I think you're referring to the ability for someone to use the sex drive of another to their benefit. Thus, it is not only the ability to do so, its ths magnitude of the sex drive itself.

Which is why generally, men are the 'weaker' sex in that sense, as most think about sex ALL THE TIME! Of course, there are some girl who fit into this category too, and are very persuaded by good-looking men.

I'd have to agree with Jashman. Those who think they have it flaunt it. I think most girls who do, tend to do it more shamelessly.

perhaps the answer to this question is that women is more inclined (on the basis of the perception that women do so in greater numbers) to be guilty of USING their sex appeal to their advantage and therefore men is more inclined to be the weaker sex to fall for such shameless flaunting.

maybe someone should ask, do these viking mistresses flaunt their sex appeal, and if so to what depths and have they gotten away with it.
