Can one achieve attraction without teasing?

You can be sharing stories, sharing opinions, observations, nothing directly relevant to who you're talking to and be completely captivating; given that it's propped up with enthusiasm and it's engaging to listen to.

But frankly, if I went in someone's comments and disagreed with them; how much engagement would that create? If I directly addressed you and said "you are wrong", you're going to have a strong emotional response to that as well as everyone else reading. Truth be told, that people are engaged by tension and disagreement; y'all want to see something controversial.

It's just 'playful disagreement'. You can't agree on everything at the best of times, if you're not going to present that in a fun, enticing way, what's the point?

So, in a sense, yes; you can say other shit. But realistically, if you're engaging in all other aspects of expressing yourself but when it comes to expressing a differing opinion you have no charisma, it makes no sense.

Honestly you kind of have to take the risk and try teasing a bit even when it feels off to gauge their reactions. Start with something super light that they've mentioned in conversation or a personal anecdote. If it helps try making a few jokes to steer the mood in that direction first.

I like to start with a funny story about myself let them tease me a bit and then try and follow up. If you want you could ask them what they would order at their first time in a new bar, when they reply say something like "what you don't go straight for vodka shots with no chaser?". The only real way to get better at teasing is to suck at it first and then feel out someone's personality to get better.

In my experience, i can say it's possible but too hard without teasing! (teasing is one of the important ingredients.... )

Yes, what you are looking for is emotion. Teasing help creates tension, which is very good for creating emotion, but you don't need it. Mastering tension feels like a cheat code though

Yes, not everyone uses teasing. And some do it wrong anyway (ie, negging).

I'd say depends on your "target"

I think teasing can actually ruin your chance if you do it too much on someone who's too rigid

But most of the time people fall into the middle spectrum

And teasing doesn't have to be in the form of blatantly making a joke, it could just simply giggling at something you found oddly amusing. Like when you see a cat started to fight you watched it and giggled.

I think that's already a form of "playful" interaction.

Yes, you can 100% achieve attraction without any teasing, and it's very easy. Here's how:

Maintain a good look. Physical attraction is very important. Sometimes it's all you need.
Show intent. Ask her out.
Show off your amazing communication skills, responsiveness, empathy, vulnerability, confidence, healthy lifestyle healthy mindset, career path, humor and so on!! You know all these things matter a great deal. If you're a great communicator that will shift the odds in your favor.
Physically escalate. Being physical with a guy can 100% increase her attraction for that guy. Whether it be kissing or sex.

Any of these can flip her switch. No teasing needed!

Just be yourself, however the best person that you can be**. All these strategies/games will just stress you out and drive you nuts.

**Mental health for the most part.

In other words, if you love yourself, you have a much better chance that someone else will too than a mentally down and out individual who pretends to be confident by playing games with others.

No opportunities to? You can literally tease in every single conversation you have, man or woman. Teasing is just playful banter. Sure, you can achieve attraction without it. But avoiding learning how to use it would be wildly inefficient. Like asking how to build a big chest but avoiding the bench press.

It's something you can get better quickly just by practicing. Look up guides on how to flirt/tease. You can practice by yourself coming up with teases for common answers to "get to know you questions". Work teasing into your platonic conversations.
