What does SEXY (Heartthrob) mean?

You really are built like a spectacle.

SEXY (Heartthrob)
Type overview
You really are built like a spectacle.
When you walk into a room, attention rearranges itself. Your appeal is not only physical. It is atmospheric. People notice you before they even understand why, and the room temperature seems to change around your existence. You do not always need to perform. Sometimes simply being there already feels cinematic, excessive, and a little unfair to everybody else's confidence.
