Seductive or Real?
(The word seductive is used here in its broader meaning derived from the Greek definition of the word: Throughout my actions, I mislead and cause someone to misjudge some things).
“I don’t know what sex appeal is. I don’t think you can have sex appeal knowingly. The people who seduce me personally are the people who seem not to know they’re seductive, and not to know they have sex appeal”.
Omar Sharif
Do we unconsciously use our power in an attempt to gain control over people?
Do we use our sexuality or other means (e.g. our intellect, our wealth, our kindness, etc) to unconsciously manipulate other people? And if we realize that this might be true, why would we do that? Don’t we believe we are “enough” as we are and we need to put some extra effort? Additionally, what kind of people would accept such manipulation, and for how long?
Omar Sharif argues that truly seductive people do not know they are seductive.
