I think what it comes down to is this: guys generally aren't very good at flirting, teasing, etc. It seems to be something that comes naturally to us girls. If guys are learning how to flirt, I say GREAT! We all benefit.
Also, I see the word manipulation mentioned several times in this thread... if you ask me, manipulation is buying a woman dinner and gifts to get her into bed or to pay attention to you. While I'll admit I like dinner and gifts etc, it doesn't necessarily make me interested in the guy. Flirting well will give you a much better chance of getting my attention.
And while personality may not keep a woman interested forever, it will at least get her curious enough to find out more about you, in a similar way that a good-looking woman will get you interested long enough for you to want to see if she's as cool a person as she is hot.
