Charm

[Saint Peter]

Those who are truely charming don't have to bullshit. They can make the worst truths sound like praise and good fortune.

You bullshitting me?

Those who are truely charming don't have to bullshit. They can make the worst truths sound like praise and good fortune.

And then there are those like a certain recent ex-president, who are so charming that they can make the worst bullshit sound like the truth...




And btw, I guess I am bucking the trend here, as I am more charming in person than on the boards... I like to be liked in person, but am not so worried about it here...

It's probably the most powerful characteristic human kind has. One need only look at politics to know that.

A person with great intelligence, or integrity, or morality, cannot get very far without it. There are exceptions, there always are, but for the most part, it's needed.

It's also the most abused characteristic we have. People use it to fool, abuse and manipulate others all the time.

So, do you have it? Do you use it? Abuse it? Fall victim to it? I see it around here a lot.

i haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about.

Im sure I DO have charm....somewhere......

I just keep forgetting where I put it.......

If anyone finds it before I do, let me know, ok?

I have it. Seldom use it. I'm a humble holy man. http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/cwm/cwm/eek7.gif

Charm is a combination of personality traits: wit, intelligence, humor, empathy.

A charming person is irresistable.

Thank you.

I'm also a shy person.

 

[A Desert Rose]

So now that we all think we know who and what is charming (at least SOME of us do) What do you think is the most charming or attractive thing about yourself?

I will go first- I am very passionate about issues and certain people.

Next?

I've been told I'm charming. Who am I to argue?

 

[Rambrat]

telling someone they have nice breasts...is that charming?

I've been told I possess all of those traits. Yet, I've never considered myself charming.

Charm school doesn't teach charm it teaches manners.

"When I got married, my husband sent me to charm school"

"Whatever for?"

"So I could learn to say 'That's Nice', instead of 'Fuck You'."
~punchline to my favorite joke

So, if charm is the ability to say 'that's nice' when you really want to say 'fuck you'...

I don't have that either.

I'd have to agree with that. I've been told that, but I've never considered myself to have charm.

Hmmm...That I can do. Not always, but most of the time.

But all in all, I'd be more inclinied to describe myself as a fumbling idiot, both on and offline, than charming.

No one with a voice as beautiful as you possess could ever be fumbling...

How charming...Wasn't that nice...You are just too kind...

I have all those. . .they just never seem to function all at the same time. Sooo, no. . .I guess I'm not charming. Dorky, yes. Charming, no.

I think you have charm here, too.


Me? Nope. I can't remember a single time in my life that I was told I was "charming" so I must not be. I'm too practical, straightforward, honest. That's my guess, anyway.

I disagree. There are people who have all those traits and would not be considered charming, and people who have few that could charm a nun out of her habbit.

I'm not even sure it's palpable online. It's in someone's smile, the tilt of their head, the way they look at others. It's a matter of confidence and selfassuredness.

My brother-in-law is like that. So smooth if you knocked him over he'd slide 10 feet.

And it's not just about charming the opposite sex, it works in non sexual ways as well. Sex is just how it's most often used. lol

I think.............

From Sunstruck:

Have zero charm but if I did...........I think I read in the "Requirements to become a Politician" handbook that you are to abuse it for strictly your own gains.

Being straightforward and honest, with a delicious sense of humor can be quite charming...

And the feeling is mutual, thank you.

It really gives me the creeps when you flirt. lol

I am glad that I have some effect on you, and take comfort that you don't actually throw up when you see my posts...

Yeah, but I started it so you have to let him off the hook.

Well that's true! Way to find the bright side! I'm just used to the outrageous, totally opposite of me politicaly side of you.
