This post/comment has been removed because it violates Rule #5: The topic is too broad, has been covered a lot already, or involves the assumption overly limited by race, age, physical limitations/appearance, and/or other inborn external qualities.

Put in some reading & work before asking questions that have been addressed, like: * How do I approach? * How do I get a number? * How do I talk to girls at college? * How/When do I kiss a girl? * Does this really work?

As for the last one, it is an answered question. There have been many posts on physical limitations over the years, including this one. No need to re-ask it.

NO, It's not the same! There's a reason they are different words.

Charisma = being likeable and charming.

Seduction = getting what you want in terms of sex, romance or a relationship.

You can have charisma, but no idea how to seduce people. You just become the likeable person that doesn't know how to turn that likability into actual results. There's plenty examples of this.

Seduction is charisma with a focus on getting your desired type of person to date or sleep with you. I'd call it a subgenre of charisma.

I think seduction is when your get someone to do your bidding by persuasion.

Charisma is where someone will do your bidding without any coaxing.

Yes. Essentially. People like people who make them feel good. They want people who make them feel good around them all the time. Combine making people feel good with being clean and dressed in occasion-appropriate clothing and you are capable of landing nearly any available woman on earth. There is money in complicating it, but it is that simple, and it is remarkable that nobody ever asks about it. They always ask about what lines to say and what texts to send and how much they should be feeling up the person they just met though and it's weird.

Personally, I'd say no. To me, seduction involves using psychological manipulation to get what you want. Charisma, on the other hand, attracts people to you organically. Basically, in seduction, you're trying to get a particular someone to sleep with you, while charisma, it just happens because they like you before you even try to "make it happen".

Charisma is something that helps with seduction. There are many things that help.

"Seduction" has a pretty toxic connotation for some of the reasons people already mentioned. You should never lie, deceive or manipulate for self-serving interests like sex or dating. You're better than that. The old PUA movement certainly was a culprit and I do not care for that scene.

I see "seduction" more along the lines of continuing to better yourself and reaching a deeper connection with your date/partner. Intimacy may also improve as you improve yourself and there is trust in the woman you're with. It's not just about sex. But the sex may be more meaningful as you reach a deeper level of trust, compatibility, respect and love.

Your life as a person is limited and so a sense of purpose is necessary. Most find that through their work identity and that's fine. But being a good partner and keeping her on her toes whether it's the honeymoon stage or after years of marriage is really important. You should continue to sharpen your tools, learn and grow. Keep things exciting by both of you staying excited for each other. Seduction should always be there.

Distinct ideas. One is more a general factor of social life, verbal fluency , high high interpersonal stress tolerance. Seduction is more a dating factor. They can and often do overlap; but they are distinct. Someone good at attracting girls, is not necessarily a public charismatic.

Also physical appearance, unless you count that under charisma

Danny Devito's a charming guy, but he's never getting Ana De Armas into bed

Different kinds of charisma too. Just because you give a great speech or make friends easily at the pub, doesn't mean you're good with women.
