I've been looking at people recently, one in particular, getting away with the most ludicrous shit through sheer force of charm and a great smile.
I use a lot of dry sarcasm and get away with it most of the time, but I doubt that counts as charm. I'm pretty sure no one has ever called me charming. At least not where I could hear it.
I tend to think of charming and charismatic people as confident extroverts with good social skills, and if my picture appears in the dictionary next to those words, it's in the list of antonyms.
my favoruite.
Oh my.
Do you suppose therapy can save the artist? Or is it too late?
Did you guys see the Britney pony! It is too funny!
Also, I feel like I get away with being cranky because I have a nice face. I also have the face where people ask you for random help (directions, finding stuff in a store, etc)
aside from the ponies, my favorite.
I have to admit, I need that, if I'm to step up the "no, you don't want my porn" plate.
I get away with stuff a lot because people don't grok, or cause I'm Special which is rather anti-charismatic.
aside from the ponies, my favorite.
that is disturbing on so many levels.
There are times when I am flabbergasted at what I can get away with. I don't know if it's because I'm charismatic (I have no idea if I am or not), because I'm amusing, or it it's a case of "Oh, that's just Jilli".
You are a completely charming person. You have a way of saying what you say. You are a study in charisma.
They told us in business school that charisma could be learned, but they didn't offer courses in it.
I think when people try to be charismatic, they only succeed in being creepy. At least, there's that used car salesman/timeshare in Florida/hey make a million bucks on property investments watch my infomercial and buy my tapes/set and forget ron popeil kinda creepy that some folks see as charisma.
