that is not true i have gained access to numerous
systems and shoulders through charm; although i'm
not a 'hunk' i am aware when people are
susceptable to flattery. and when they believe you
are ignorant their defences go down.

being attractive and well groomed plays to their
sterotype of stupid.

although to be fair i never had sex or used sexual
influence (don't think the were homosexual) but
it's a fine line anyway (in my opinion indistinct).

i would agree that a female has more capacity to
play this but i don't think it is restricted
either by gender or, in fact, looks (in the pin-up,
small skirt, sense of it).
