Do you have charisma?
The poor excuse of a beer from Holland (with a green label) runs an ad in a local rag:
Charisma.
You can't buy it.
You can't make it.
And you sure can't fake it.
Seriously, do you have natural charisma, or do you have to work at it, and is it "invoked" when going about your musical activities?
Agreed, it is a bit of a vague, open-ended question, but valid, still.
Let's see your stuff!

Getting back to the original post, I'm not the kind of guy that can sell ice to Eskimos or anything like that. But in my line of work some leadership skills are absolutely necessary. So I have a certain amount of it, but I'm by no means an extraordinarily charismatic guy (in either the personal or the theological sense).

Musically, I'm still working on skills and licks. Charisma will have to show up later.
Personally, I have enough to get by. I'm not a BS'er like a sales type, though.
I see myself as a more sincere, warm personality, not a Mr. Outgoing/Type A/Life of the Party.

Should I be scared that I figured that out right quick without having to look it up? It's been a VERY long time since I played AD&D, but for some reason I still think about that game every time I see the word charisma. Guess I'm still a nerd.

Over time, Ive learnt to employ some charisma. Finns are usually very shy and reserved in many situations, for instance guys trying to hit pn girls its often really pathetic, people just dont know how to show interest or talk up a girl.
When I worked in the U.S. some of that American talkativeness and style of talking to girls rubbed on me, and when I came back it seemed like I could just go to a bar and pick a girl almost, never was short for company any more. Simply because the competition there would just dare to like stare at girls or wink maybe, while I was alredy there joking and smiling and making friends.
Talkative foreigners usually love Finnish bars, because its so easy for them to get pretty girls interested in them.
In the US it seemed to me kids would talk of dating and chicks already in their pre-teens. And then they would take chicks to dates and PAY for food etc...never happens here. I never took a girl out on date until like 18 years old, and itd have been strange if I would pay for stuff.
In short, in US guys fight and beg and pay for dates with girls, here its more like guys wait for girls to come and ask them out. I have been picked up by girls a lot more times than I have picked up a girl.
I guess thats one reason our president and prime minister are both women, and most academic and such positions are held by women. A lot more women than men in universities too - in my whole year class we had 20 women and three guys and one of those was gay. Men go for jobs like plumbing and engineering etc.
