ANECDOTE

Siren And Rake Archetypes

  • Greene cites Marilyn Monroe as the archetypal siren who 'made love to the camera' with theatrical vulnerability.
  • He contrasts her female siren with the male rake who enthralls through focused romantic attention and words.
ADVICE

Listen Deeply To Be Magnetic

  • To become seductive, get genuinely interested in other people and listen more than you speak.
  • Ask unexpected personal questions and later reference details to prove you were truly listening.
ADVICE

Drop Judgment And Be Generous

  • Avoid moralizing, insecurity, stinginess and constant bragging as these repel others.
  • Instead practice generosity with attention, time, and thoughtful gifts tailored to the person's tastes.
