Some people can get away with being very sexy to men and not looking like a complete cow, but I didn’t think I was in a position where people knew me well enough.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that some people can be very attractive and confident, without being seen as unattractive or rude. However, the speaker felt that she wasn't well-known enough for people to see her that way. In other words, she didn't think she could pull off being very sexy without being judged harshly by others.
