Sexpot Jones
Posted: September 8, 2008 at 5:17 pmYep, that’s my alter-ego. ‘Cause the real me, Jamilah, is a tomboy who doesn’t take herself too seriously, loves to lounge, and is somewhat the egghead. I mean, the sexy’s there, but it isn’t overt. But when I wanna turn it on…when I need to go into star mode…yessir! Miss Jones can step right up on to the plate.
So why is it, then, that it annoys the HELL out of me when guys refer to me as sexy?! In certain instances it’s okay (and currently there’s only one person I want to hear call me sexy), but a text that says, “Hey Sexy, what’s up?” Or a call where instead of the greeting being, “Hi, Mylah,” it’s “Hi, Sexy.” AGGGGHHHH!!! It’s especially wack when it comes from somebody I JUST MET! I mean, damn! We’re going there already?!
My group members and I were talking about it the other day and couldn’t really figure why it annoyed us or why guys even did it. Is it supposed to be complimentary? Should I be flattered? (I rarely am) Or is it because alot of guys put alot of chicks into the “sex” category? That’s where I don’t wanna be. I think the world is already waaaay over-sexed and over-sexual and calling me sexy all willy-nilly and casual like makes me think that dudes are not paying much attention to “me”, but to the sexual parts of me. And that aint nobody’s cool, thank you very much!
It’d be real cool for you to simply say my name. Or do like one person I talk to…instead of saying my name, he says Beautiful. That works 
Makes me feel like I’m not in Video-Vixen land, and I’m something more unique and special than that. Of course I’m not on a mission to stop the sexy swag. I’m not about to start wearing turtlenecks and loafers (lol), but it’d be great if more men understood that sometimes the “wrapping” is the lure and the present underneath is way better than any wrap. It’s more to a female than lips, hip, tits, and ass (hahahahaaaaa)….well SOME of us! We’re smart, driven, passionate, compassionate, loving, fun, and great friends! It’s possible to be all that and sexy. So please, don’t let that be your main adjective of choice to describe me. Please and thank you!
(If this applies to you and you’re reading it, don’t call and ask me about it! Lol)
The Discussion
see what everyone is saying
Funny because I get EXTRA annoyed when the guy I just met yesterday (or even last week) starts out the convo with “‘Hey Baby” …I don’t know why, but that irks the ISH out of me! ESPECIALLY when its not the one you really want to call you that! lol DAY-UM!
Sound like a new song to me “Gem Jones”…but thats just me lol ; )
(lol) …I hate it too, I ignore the people who hit me up, like that. It’s most common on myspace of course (lol). Look at Mike, haha, everything’s a song! (Waves Hand) – Hi Mike!
So I havent kept up with your blog and just came across this and i had to express this EXACT sentiment a couple weeks ago. It drive me CRAZY when a guy addreses me as “sexy” or “baby”! UGH!
