The Bar Scene

In an effort to see what the DC perception of sexy is, I went to a bar and observed men and women in an environment where attracting one another is a priority. 

Women were in very small tank tops, even though it’s December, tight jeans, and there hair was mostly long. Men were in jeans button up shirts and nice shoes with an occasional blazer. 

When sitting at the bar before the music got too loud I overheard a short conversation between a young man and woman in their early to mid twenties. The woman was singing along to the song and dancing and the man was just watching her. They obliviously knew each other so the conversation was easy going. He said "You look nice tonight." and she just kept dancing and smiled. It seemed to me that he really like her but she wasn't into to it. But, she was wearing jeans and a tight black top, with a plunging neckline. And as I observed them it was rare for the man's eyes to avert from her chest. But, she didn't seem to mind. 

Later there was a Maxim model contest as soon as this announced women looked pissed and the guys moved closer to the front to cheer and ogle. All of the models were wearing jeans and a black spaghetti strap tank top that was anything but conservative. The models were all in great shape and very voluptuous. There didn't seem to be a crowd favorite, but something that I did notice was that they all looked very similar. All blonde but one and light eyes and great bodies . . . I guess that is what the judges in the Maxim competition think is sexy.
