That's
amazing. I've never thought of this before.
Male charm, I think, has less to do with sex appeal per se than the projection of a certain image, of which there are a few. You have your alpha male, your rugged individualist traveler guy, your tortured artiste...
I guess you can apply that to female charm, too. But sex appeal seems to be more often used. What do you think?
