To me a guy is sexy when he doesn't act, when he's just authentic

If he’s a good actor how can you tell?  

That's not so hard actually. There's always one good actor less than people think. ;)

We're all human, there's no need to pretend one has superior knowledge or experience or whatever.

Pretending is pointless, but very human. However, differing levels of ability and experience are real, and market values reflect that.  Of course that's how it should be - a rational society celebrates and venerates the extraordinary not the ordinary.

You surely mean market prices, not values. Since I'm neither a farming girl nor a trader in livestock I wouldn't be aware of market prices. But you can trust me, I'm very aware of values.

A definite turn-on is when a guy can admit not knowing something, or having made a mistake. When a guy is not ashamed to admit his faults along with his strong sides, that's what takes balls, that's a man in my eyes.

No, that's a man trying to get into your pants.

Oh I'm aware of that; I should very much hope so!

About scruffy, one of my favourite erotically charged scenes is Galore pointing out Bond's scruffy look. There is something about a little stubble.

It's the damn biological imperative - you know, like when you used to stick socks in your training bra, Oppers.  

Never had any need to do that, they were already there before I was even ready for their arrival!

The socks were already there?

The bra needed no extra padding, more like.
