Now, let’s dive in!
First, remember that charisma is a skill to be learned.
The great thing about charisma is that it’s a skill that can be developed, not an innate talent.
Many people have been led to believe that it either comes naturally, or it doesn’t. This is not true, as Olivia Cabane unpacks in her book, The Charisma Myth. She reveals through extensive research that charismatic tendencies can be learned and developed by anybody.
Developing charisma will be a process of learning how to connect with others in a more captivating way.
As we explored in a previous post, Charisma = Presence + Power + Warmth. According to Cabane’s research, she defines those terms like this…
- Presence describes your moment-to-moment awareness of what’s happening.
- Power is your ability to affect the world around you.
- Warmth is defined by your goodwill toward them and others.
When you put all of those definitions together, it starts to create a comprehensive picture of charisma for introverted men who are wondering how to be more charismatic.
Now, let’s explore how charisma affects dating.
The role charisma plays in dating
Two of the most important characteristics at the start of any relationship are charisma and authenticity.
Many introverted men fear that if they try to force a charismatic approach, they will sacrifice their authenticity in the process. However, charisma isn’t necessarily inauthentic.
Happily, the truth is that developing charisma does not require you to push yourself outward forcefully against your nature. Rather, learning how to be more charismatic is about magnetizing people inward toward the true you.
That’s why it’s so important that you download the ebook we mentioned earlier.
When you have a strong understanding of who you are and what already draws people toward you, you’ll enjoy being both charismatic and authentic.
As for your dating life, there is nothing more magnetic and appealing than a man with quiet confidence who’s learned the art of extending power, presence, and warmth to those around him while staying true to himself.
Now that you know why charisma is such a valuable dating skill, let’s take a look at specific steps that will reveal how to be more charismatic.
Simple steps for becoming more charismatic
This simple plan will help you bring out your natural, authentic charisma that is lying beneath the surface.
1. Work on your presence.
When it comes to presence, the two most important aspects involve connecting to the physical space around you and connecting with the people near you.
Staying aware and grounded in the context of your environment can be as simple as engaging in a brief mindfulness exercise.
For example, you can go through each of your senses to find one way you’re connected to your environment for each sense. What do you hear, smell, see, taste, and feel?
Connecting well with the people nearby through body language and actively listening is equally important. You can do that by practicing a few social habits like making eye contact, nodding your head slightly to indicate that you’re tracking with your conversation partner, and asking a couple of follow-up questions to show genuine interest.
2. Become comfortable with your power.
Today, the idea of “power” can mean many different things to different people. For Introverted Alphas, that means knowing, respecting, and caring about yourself and others genuinely.
In short, becoming comfortable with your power as an Introverted Alpha turns you into a Benevolent Badass, and there’s nothing more magnetic and charismatic than that.

3. Increase your warmth.
Warmth is the one aspect of charisma that simply cannot be forced or faked. This is wonderful news for introverted men who are concerned that being more charismatic will cause them to be less authentic.
The principle of warmth, as seen in charismatic people everywhere, is proof that the opposite is true! Think of the people you’ve known who’ve been the warmest towards you. How did they make you feel? What did you notice about them?
Warmth can’t be faked because it is the result of positive feelings of love or goodwill toward someone. It is conveyed primarily through micro facial expressions in your eyes and voice.
If you aren’t feeling goodwill toward someone (perhaps because of something that happened before you arrived that has nothing to do with them), don’t worry. You can still increase your warmth toward others by looking for a handful of things you enjoy about them or focusing on a few special things you have in common.
Warmth makes people feel important and safe; it makes them feel good and accepted.
Now that you’ve found several helpful tips that show you how to be more charismatic, it’s time to review what you’ve learned and find out what comes next.
