Quote - What I do know is, it helps to be a good talker as well as a good listener.  If you're reasonably articulate and can talk about things other than beer, sport and sex, you're on the way.  Women - they are human, after all and not some alien species - enjoy a good chat.

Ah, this is exactly what I mean when I say "charisma," but I wasn't able to describe it so succinctly. The whole post pretty much says it all. I spent a huge part of my youth believing that this was so obvious that surely everyone knew it. I really did believe that guys who insisted on using strings of moronic pick-up lines, talking about themselves non-stop, and arrogantly boasting were doing it precisely because they actually just enjoyed annoying women... As a result, the guys who treated women as though they had something interesting to say got a lot more attention. In the end, if you don't like hanging out with women, or you don't like talking to and listening to women, they probably won't like you very much for very long. It's hard to believe that this continues to be such a mystery to so many people. But I suppose I'm glad, in many ways, that it remains so because it means that average looking, working men can continue to find mates for the simple reason that they actually enjoy women's company. Exactly as it should be.
