Your Charm Does Not Depend On Your Body
January 11th, 2007Being cool and charming is fun and nice. Paying attention to being cool and charming every hour is a huge syndrome of this and the last century. Apart from becoming an anorexic or bulimic, people spend astronomical amounts of money and effort in aesthetic surgery, cosmetics and several unhealthy exercise programs. If you only knew that being presentable, charming or cool doesn’t depend on your body or how you look like in a picture, you would not just be happier but you would be also more cool, charming and good looking than ever.
However physically beautiful or good looking you are, a minor drop in your mood would make you look like less charming than you normally are.
If you pay close attention to your friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. you will notice that there are so many people that attract you who are not physically beautiful or good looking at all.
Imagine that your favorite actress had breast cancer and she had a surgery and suddenly she left one of her breasts. What would change in you in terms of your liking against her. Not much, because you have an idea of her in your mind that goes behind her physical being. You have seen her in a couple of movies or shows and you have not only her image in your mind but also an experience of her aura.
So, if you insist on just making up things physically on your body and not pay attention to your soul, you are building a destructive force for your charm. It’s like shopping for food while you are hungry and thus get everything in the market regardless of whether you need it or not.
In order not to end up with countless effort for your beauty with no avail, start beautifying your soul first and when you feel that you love yourself enough then pass on to the physical side, and continue to beautify yourself that way too.
Try it, It’s good for your health.

to wish to be charming is an aspect of the “glamour” illusion. this is a created aspect of the spirit outreach and is not a reality based attitude. it is a tool of those who desire to have a measure of control over their environment. it does control by virtue of taking advantage of the tendency of others to be drawn in due to their “weakness” for “beautiful things”.
“beauty is in the eye of the beholder” to be charming is a conscious effort to influence others and is therefore
manipulative in nature. if it is employed with kindness, and to guide others in away that is thoughtful of their needs, then it is considered to be
a positive and uplifting action. however if it is used in a self serving manner to exploit another persons
weaknesses, it is considered to be evil and negative.
a person with charm and charisma owns a huge responsibility to be careful as to how this power is utilized. the power one has is in direct proportion to
the ability of others to resist charm or not to be able to resist it and one must be especially careful
with those who are naive and impressionable. for yourself, learn to not fall into the trap of trusting those who would try to influence you with charisma and charm. a healthy dose of skepticism is like protective armour, in the face of this brand of danger.

April 13th, 2007 at 11:44 pm

April 14th, 2007 at 12:21 am
mhm, yeah, that’s super. totally doesn’t work that way in the real world. get a clue, seriously.
April 14th, 2007 at 12:23 am

good article…there is much truth to this. Yes women are attracted to good looking men, but they are attracted to personalities more than anything.
It’s a shame that people like tyler are so cynical and ignorant. Try some constructive criticism next time
April 14th, 2007 at 1:56 am
Uh. No. tyler pretty much hit it dead on. Welcome to the real world. Although I do appreciate that you’re trying to leave the genetic coil that demands physical-aesthetic satisfaction, you (who agree with the article) are all being naive and ignorant. Not only does physical beauty play a role in our psychology, it plays a HUGE role, deny it al you want. Personal aspiration and seeking to better one’s self is one of the most beautiful things. So start with bettering your observative powers because that’s how the world works.
Stop to consider for three seconds how you you have an automatic aversion to sleazy looking people or any other perceived visual clues about the person’s characteristics. Or, you can deny they exist and live in rainbow land.

Oh, good god. I jsut read that this is a psychology blog.
April 14th, 2007 at 2:05 am
nope, it’s not about the characteristics of sleazy people. the idea is that if you pay attention to your mind & soul then your appearence will benefit from that too.
April 14th, 2007 at 2:12 am
Utterly inane. Your charm entirely depends on your body. You can be friends with people whom are unattractive, but you don’t pick friends for ‘charm’ but for other, more worthwhile characteristics. Friends who you befriend for, or with, charm, tend to be shallow manipulations, not friendships.
Also, if my favorite actress lost one or both of her breasts, she would be, undeniably, less attractive. She may not be a worse actress for it, but her physical appeal would be gone, and the only think that would be left would be a mental/psychological appeal (assuming there was one in the first place; I find it hard to care about someone I only know through roles they play, not what they are like in real life–but I’m not the psych major…).

Osman: I hope you’re not pretending you got that out of the text because it’s not on there. Closest it gets to that is the repulsive nature of unpleasant idividuals, no matter how pretty they look. Again this should be a psychology blog so start thinking. People with healthier mindsets obviously won’t look annoyed, bored, cold, heartless, or empty (we consider those unhealthy). They’ll also probably be more disposed to taking care of their bodies which makes a hell of a lot of difference. We humans tend to think healthy looks pretty.
I know it’s not about sleazy people. Sleazy people don’t always look sleazy, that’s the whole point. Your physical characteristics don’t necessarily reflect your personality or mind, obviously, butit does reflect your lifestlye which is unavoidably defined by your personality.
Useless: I don’t particularly think your charm depends on your body, but it sure as hell does help. If you ever heard the phrase “[blank] says all the right things.” (even if said in jest) should suggest that there are personality traits that play a pretty heavy role. I agree with you on the actress analogy though.

Okay, I agree with – physical trait alone, not wholly creating one’s perception of someone. It’s important to note though, other’s around the persona you’ve created.
– I believe that other’s perceptions of another’s being and reputation are huge influences on others. Conformity is always a catalyst for creating a desirable person.
– Opposite that, you have the naivity of others towards that person. Which, yes, physical manner imposes the perception. (but i assume that we’re not talking about someone you’d see on the street.)
“If you pay close attention to your friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. you will notice that there are so many people that attract you who are not physically beautiful or good looking at all.”
But I bet, that a lot of other people think the same, and have told you the same.
