Yep. I use any assets I have to get ahead in a highly competitive world---within my morals, boundaries and values.
EDIT:
Mafia girl, aren't you a "model?"

I had an occupation for about 5 years where it was a large part of the work. I had to look good and be on display. I was in my 20's so that was some time ago.
When I was nursing my "customers" usually weighed between 2-5 pounds. They didn't care what I looked like. They could throw up and poop on new scrubs the same as old ones.
Now I make sure I look the best I can. Professional dress of course.
I was going to ask if you had ever used yours - but then I remembered the avatar- Do you need a fashion advisor?
I keep hoping for a holiday costume!

A woman's personality can go a lot farther than her looks. I've seen many less attractive women use their personalities to get what they want while the pretty ones just stay in the background. If you're pretty and don't have a good personality, you're not going to get very far.

I certainly don't rely upon them as my only asset, but I surely do use them to my advantage when possible! A big smile can work wonders....but its important that there is sincerity in that smile.
EDIT: Lioness - LOL - I was thinking the very same thing.

I use the way i look for my advantage.. I flex some muscles to show people that im happy, and I flex them in another way to prove that im sad.

I certainly don't do this consciously. I don't even think I'm particularly good-looking. But the fact is, looks do count--better-looking people (of both genders) get better jobs even though the people who hire those people will swear they didn't hire them based on looks.

Looks is a plus,but the underline is intelligence and guts or self confidence and assertiveness.

I can and have but don't anymore. It has backfired and made people think I was interested in them when I wasn't and that is low. Drama just isn't my thing so I stopped after that.

I use everything I have. It's a jungle out there, yo. But that doesn't mean I dress or behave like a tart. I work mostly with men and go out of my way to dress modestly. I use what I have to my advantage, but I don't stoop to hoochie wear.

I'm going to step up to the plate and say yes, I have and do use my womanly wiles to help me get the end result that I wanted. I see it as using my natural resources as a tool for bargaining.
