In case of James Bond it's not social circle it's more of his value. He is a spy, travels around the world killing people, well dressed, costly cars, overall as a man he is providing an exciting adventure to the girl. Not to mention he is smooth when it comes to talking. Anyway this is a fictional character. In real world if you have a similar lifestyle minus the killing you would automatically be more appealing to the girls you meet. From girl's pov she will get an exciting time if she enters your world

Mostly agree, my question is where is the guy that has the james bond persona fall into reality? without the spy and killings and instead of aston Martin got mid luxury car? James bond dosent offer laughs and jokes that social circle offers, but he got charming and very masculine and that's why the top feminine women desire!

When someone says social circle they don't mean laugh and jokes. Having a good social circle mean you know a lot of people when you walk into a room or everyone knows who you are when you walk into a party. To a girl it's like a seal of approval from everyone. She will want to be around you

I see your point, and that's a good way to put it.
[–]Particular_Visual531 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You keep missing the most important part, he's fiction. He always gets the girl. You can take away behaviors from movies and tv but not direct correlation to results. Meaning many times they show a type of attraction behavior but real life is never going to be as automatic as a movie script
Ok

Men having sex in porn movies also don't have any social circle, so obviously they don't matter at all.

Social circle is all about who knows you and access to women. If you have James Bond's confidence you can pick chicks up at a funeral.

You do realize that’s a fictional character, right?

His country, among the most powerful in the world, has entrusted him with top secret clearance, and this gives him both credibility and power in the eyes of women. He's armed, dangerous, booming with confidence, and unafraid of anything. He exudes male sexuality. He's witty and has a wry, dry sense of humor. Ironically, women feel safe with him even though he's capable of killing another man with barely a second thought. He's overall quiet and mysterious, but brilliant in social situations and knows exactly how much to compliment a woman (in other words, barely). He could care less if she sleeps with him or not, women are a dime a dozen to him. He has the confidence to escalate quickly and make strong sexual connotations in his conversion with women without any fear of repercussion. I've known guys in real life that excude the same persona (it's their real personality, not an act), and believe me it WORKS. It may be fiction but it's rooted in reality to a large degree. Tom Cruise's character in Top Gun is quite similar.

Social Circles are important for longer-term relationships. Not so much for hook-ups. James Bond hooks up. Most women probably wouldn't ultimately like marry James Bond or if they did, they wouldn't be very happy with him.
[–]Velociraptor2018 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I just watched Casio Royal last night, I think he deserves more credit in the long term relationship department than you credit him. But yes it’s a movie, it’s all scripted, of course he gets the girl.
[–]MistyMaisel 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I mean, one movie and one girl is the multitudes and iterations of Bond. I'm basing my answer off of the typical James Bond concept. And, I must mention, in Casino Royal you're already seeing that the long term relationship isn't working out with Bond. I think my answer is pretty much accurate with barely an exception.
[–]Velociraptor2018 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I wouldn’t say that’s exactly his fault, more that his line of work makes it so he can’t trust anyone.
[–]ItIsICoachCal 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's why Casino Royal is the exception to the rule. The whole movie is a set up to explain and justify why Bond is the way he is in all 24 other movies.
[–]MistyMaisel 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
He chose his line of work right? He chose a line of work that makes long lasting relationships practically impossible. That's ok, I'm not attacking him or guys like him for this decision. But it is their decision. Lifestyles come with pros and cons. This is a con to his lifestyle.

James Bond movies are fantasies to sell watches to middle aged Dads. They are (sometimes) fun and (occasionally) good movies, but they are not how-to guides or documentaries.
[–]Mr_ambitiouz[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Then I guess iam a 20 something middle aged dad
[–]ItIsICoachCal -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
No, you just buy into the worldview that they find most comfortable. But they have always been nostalgic to the point of regressive movies funded mostly by product placement for luxury goods, especially pre-Craig.
Point is, they are not reality, they are fantasy. That's why Bond is played by paunchy late-50s Roger Moore he still has supermodels and cocktail dresses begging to fuck him after one raised eyebrow. The audience is supposed to live vicariously through him, but if you try to emulate him in real life you will not have Bond-movie outcomes. You understand that right?
[–]Mr_ambitiouz[S] -3 points-2 points-1 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
OK I see your point and I respect it. However I still see leonardo dicaprio a man who's closing to 50 and still getting the hottest models out there. I'm not saying I want a supermodel because I'm not super riche nor super famous but however I got couple of 8's from gyms and on the bus etc normal life situations, and I'm the one who left them cause they ask for long-term commitment. While I did this I'm an immigrant who dosent even have the right to work(now i have my visa) in this country and living in 16m². Anyway what I'm tryna say is not everybody is built for social circles and having friends. I personally don't get along with men but I get along very well with female that are attracted to me.
[–]ItIsICoachCal -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You're not really picking up what I'm putting down here. Good luck with your "8"s or whatever. Eventually you'll realize that James Bond isn't real and being Leonardo DiCaprio is not a realistic goal. You can make as many or as few friends as you want. It's your life. But to do it because you saw Goldfinger and think that's a realistic thing to emulate, well that's just stupid.
Peace.
If that's all you understood from my point then good job, well done

You are aware that James Bond is a fictional character, right? Like, it’s not real dude. Neither is Santa Claus. Did your mom forgot to tell you that? Real life has little or nothing to do with the James Bond world.
[–]Mr_ambitiouz[S] -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
My mom dosent know about santa claus, but I get the point. So in your opinion you don't think there are men that have a similar dating and social life to James bond?
[–]anon1moos 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Let’s put it this way, do you think there are a large number of men that have a similar professional life to Bond?
[–]Mr_ambitiouz[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Few to none
[–]anon1moos 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
He’s also give the appearance of an extremely high value man, he’s fit, top end suits, top end cars, watches etc, and most of his pulls are either circumstantial, or straight up cold approach.
I’d also like to say that he has an extremely good social circle. He’ll often be out somewhere far flung and either have to connect with, or just run into someone he already knows.
[–]CompetitionFair7686 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Dude, the writers of James Bond write the script in such a way that the girls always fall for him, because the writers want it that way.
They write it in such a way that he just looks at the girl, and then the girl magically feels the immense attraction, real life is not like that.
I hope you are not seriously trying to be like James Bond, because boy are you gonna be disappointed.
Try to be fun, try to make the girl feel emotions, develop your social skills, connect with the girls and forget about putting “facades” inspired by fictional characters.
Bro I don't put facade or anything, im just being me, but my reality is I never fitted in neither I'm funny or have a social circle, but I've had decent sexual experiences, however I never got any girl from the same social environment. The girl I get are extremely feminine, they are not loud nor they like to laugh 24/7. Trust me bro social circle is not in every one's nature and that dosent mean the be all end all
[–]rutierut -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don't think it's wrong to draw lessons from fictional characters at all, the good ones are good because they're so real and unique. But James Bond is a loser.
[–]Mr_ambitiouz[S] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
your opinion on him is personal so I font mind you not like it. James bond is a fictional character that plays the perfect masculine man and yeah there are a lot of qualities that are valid in real life. A man of mission, confidence, dominant, aggressive but calm and charming etc etc, all of thus are qualities that are very attractive in a man, but really do a one man have them all
[–]TheTruth221 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Oh I dint know
[–]fookincharlie 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't understand? From my perspective he walks into just about any bar, casino, etc. & becomes a part of any given social circle showing respect where due, kissing hands, playing games, etc. he essentially creates a social circle around him wherever he goes which is the ultimate form of social proof.
[–]intelectualycurious 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It makes it easier to bond and connect with people. And if you’re looking for a specific type of partner, they’re more likely to be apart of a social circle you mesh with.

Soviets trained many women as honey traps to entice Embassy staffers , Red Sparrow is fictional but not too far from reality. Sex is a powerful weapon used against men from the time of Mata Hari.
Many of these sex agents operated inside the iron curtain to get blackmail data for the East bloc. Sex is a trap and very strongly offered to the stupid people who fell for this trick.
