Do you have more people hit on you or compliment your appearance when you are hypo?

I'm a little hypo right now, and I have had people complimenting me in a flirtatious way today.

Perhaps I'm sexier when I'm hypo because I'm more confident? Perhaps I have better juju?

Yep. You tend to clean up more, act more bubbly/cheerful which sometimes turns into flirting, and you have an aura around you that is positive in general. People dig those that are confident and bright.

I'm sexy. Dead sexy.

I personally haven't been getting hit on. Actually, I don't even remember the last time I was hit on, but I have no life and work with old ladies and teenage boys... so... I guess little old ladies and teenage boys don't find me attractive.

But it's great you're hot. Are you single?

Maybe I should get dressed up and go out and see if I DO get hit on. It can be my mission or something. My husband wouldn't like it though. lol

Definitely. There appear of no where, and my charisma and hypersexuality take over. Awesome and dangerous

Yep, I think it's the way I dress and carry myself more confidently. I look people in the eye and feel more power over them. I'm also more inclined to touch people which can be kind of sexual.

No, I'm married. But I love attention and then I tease hubby and tell him I'm getting flirted with. Hypomanic = Sexy??? He gets a little jealous, but he knows I'm totally faithful.

Oh for heaven's sake, can't you bottle it and sell it already?? I'm unipolar and my already shaky juju/mojo/awesomeness keeps completely turning off at annoying times.
Thanks for this!

I understand... I just came out of a bad depressive episode with anxiety and obsession. A lot of my upswings are mixed episodes, so it's nice to get pure hypo from time to time.

I don't think I'm bipolar, but these comments made me think twice.

When I have to or when I feel like it, I dress, do hair, wear make-up. Maybe it's the heels, but I then carry myself with more grace and care or strut. I get looks from men and hit on.

When I'm neutral, rushed, or depressed, I dress blah. I just try to blend in. Actually, sometimes I still get hit on.

I tend to be the one doing the "hitting on" when hypo. And in turn, I get it right back. And then a few days go by, I come back down to earth, and I say "wtf was I thinkin?! My bf is going to kill me!" Yea it's one thing I have the most regret about actually. But I'm sure if I was single I'd have all kinds of dudes trying to reach me when hypo. Actually, when I'm NOT hypo, I ignore men lol.

For sure!!!! I know that I'm much more confident, flirtatious, and aggressive when up...whereas normally I tend to be completely in my head and don't want to be bothered. People pick up on that kind of energy.

When I'm not hypo I also often don't notice if someone is flirting with me. When hypo I think everyone loves me XD

Not for me! I have absolutely no self esteem. I'm lucky enough to have my wife. I often worry that she is going to meet someone else and leave me. I used to feel I was attractive when I was a lot younger and hypo, but that ship has sailed.

P.S. Stay young and beautiful as long as you can!

Yes; when I am very manic, I ooze sex and I also feel incredibly sexy. It has happened less now that I started psych meds and gained a lot of weight and that interferes with things for obvious reasons. But, I know I will lose it...and then...watch out.

When I'm manic I definitely have a lot of confidence. I have a flirty personality as it is but it gets much worse when I'm manic. I get hit on a lot. Back in the states my best friend owned a music venue / bar and I'd go there all the time when I was manic....everyone knew who I was even if I didn't know them and when I'm manic and I go out I never have to pay for drinks. I have no inhibitions and feel incredibly sexy when in this state and I tend to use it to my advantage. I've gotten backstage at so many concerts because of it and met a lot of really cool people.

When I'm depressed I have serious social anxiety so it's a marked difference from how I act when I'm manic.

Girl, you need to get your groove back! It doesn't matter what size you are, people can still find you sexy! I'm a size 16/18 and I get hit on often. I used to be a size 24 and my husband still found me sexy. Don't tell yourself you are less attractive because confidence and wearing flattering clothing/ makeup is everything. You've still got it, I bet!!
