Charisma?

[donjuan87]

This might sound like a total AFC post, but here goes: What is the secret behind charisma? It is almost like a superpower!

Take George Clooney, for instance. He is the epitome of charisma! There is something about him. A few nights ago I was watching Jay Leno, and George Clooney was the guest. My sister was in the room (I'm still in high school) and she was about to leave, but when George Clooney came on she stayed because of his charisma. She was drawn to him, even though he was not there in person.

What is the secret behind charisma? It is a power I want to possess!

I've felt for a long time that there is little scientific literature about this subject is that it's such an elusive, hard to define quality.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's been out of mainstream scientific literature for as long as it has because scientists... well I'm having trouble articulating exactly what I mean. OK here goes...
I guess scientists know that it's there, but I think they shy away from topics that can't easily be hypothesized and tested under controlled conditions.
Charisma is one of them... I think it's the closest thing there is to a supernatural/psychic talent.
I mean, how often do we hear people say, "I don't know why i did X, I just did" when a charismatic person has made them do something they normally wouldn't, or didn't even want to.
A recent article in Psychology today (I believe) tried to explain/define it.
I think they concluded that there are some traits of charismatic people we can imitate, but it remains a mysterious quality that can't be truly duplicated.
You either have it, or you don't.

charisma itself is hard to define. however, I'm sure developing some self confidence will do you a lot of good in that department.

So practice....take time to improve you're social skills.

Charisma

Here's just 2 things I picked up that if practiced could build charisma.

David D said: Your attractivness to others is determined by your quality of life. Have a great life, and others will notice it even in your gait.

Someone said: Charisma is leadership. -- I take it that if you work on developing leader like qualities you you'll accumilate charisma. You need a trained, musical, charming voice. Comfortable body language. Shart analytical mind. Wit. Etc.

I beg to differ..lol If Brad Pitt acted like Carrot Top, he wouldn't be sexiest man alive.. by a longshot. I think charisma actually effects HOW you look.

I work in the music business in the performance/production/image consulting side and I can tell you this: charisma can be learned.

It seems silly..but spend time in front of the mirror. Dress differently then everyone else. No matter how you act, your clothing tells people something about where you are coming from.

Once you have your image totally together, start building presence. It is possible to develop a presence that when you walk into a club where a great band is playing, everyone turns to look at you. It's fun to cultivate and a great tool in business and meeting women.

Also, the more confident you become, the easier conversation flows. Keep things light and inspirational. Joke and then compliment everyone..The real alpha-males have no need to tear anyone else down or even ignore greatness. They are the first to laugh, the first to applaud, and the first to say what needs to be said. By committing yourself to doing this along with your looks, you'll be suprised how many people follow you.

For instance, the other day I perform at this club before my younger brother goes on. After I finish, I sit down at a table with a large group of girls. I'm joking with them, tasting all their drinks, etc. My brother (who is ridiculously attractive to women through genetics and talent..lol) starts playing. Now many men retreat into their shell thinking "Dammit...he's upstaged me."

Not at all. I get really into the music. I whisper stories about his songs into the girls ears. I laugh at things my brother does and I cheer louder then anyone there..guess what happens..They all laugh when I laugh..they all cheer when I cheer..and they all want to get together with me again. It's a solid presence and a unfailingly positive view of the world that breeds charisma, I think.

And by the way...I've TAUGHT MYSELF to do this stuff.

This is nothing you can't have on your own..it's easy!
