[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted in a thread awhile back about getting hit on as a woman in her 40s. I probably have a "magnetic" personality but would never admit it in person. The part about remembering people's names and interests and being a good listener is significant. Also, never ever repeat something that's told in confidence or speculate about someone's private life to others. Coming across as fake or a striver is a bad look but self confidence isn't. Your house needs to be clean and look put together but not overdone. Same with your appearance. You don't have to be stunningly attractive but you do need to be presentable especially if you're female. I was very, very shy as a child and realized in my teens that other people were getting things that I wanted-- namely school and sports recognition and social invitations. I paid attention to what those people were doing and learned how to be assertive without being bossy and how to make other people feel important. I worked on these skills as a young adult and still work on them. [b]I'm rarely the smartest or most interesting person in the room and my life is quite boring compared to a lot of the people I know [/b]but I can hold a genuine conversation with just about anyone and I have friends and acquaintances from all walks of life.[/quote]

This is part of it. Those who are “too something” (too smart, too beautiful, too interesting, even too charismatic) get boycotted because others end up feeling bad about themselves.[/quote]
