Charming

 

When you walk into a room of strangers, what happens?

How do you present yourself to the world?

Do you wear the latest designers fashion? Does your hair cut to the style fitting your face? Do you have a scent that whiffs through the room announcing your arrival? Are you so attractive that everyone stares at your beauty, until you open your mouth and speak?

Are you a prince or princess charming or just another dull shmoo trying to duplicate the celebrities in the magazines draped in clothing that does not fit and with a lack of conversational wonder.

Some call being charming ‘charisma’, as in allure, attract, captivate, enchant, and fascinate. Others call it a person who possesses special traits that attract, inspire, or fascinate other people.

A charismatic person is one you want to come to the party to entertain the guest. They are frequently a politician or a media celebrity. They can hold a room’s attention by their presence. If they are truly charismatic, they will age gracefully while maintaining their charm.

A charmer must understand their audience. They may be a good political speaker but not a good dancer. Their charm may be appreciated at the grand ball but not so much at the rodeo. Hanging with a charmed person might get you into some reclusive parties and as a wingman get some second-choice action.

Charmed, I’m sure.
