Is it possible to become as witty and flirtatious as Craig Ferguson or do you have to be born with it?

just be devilishly handsome dude it's that simple

Anon the women aren't actually charmed by him. It's a PR shtick. He's probably a homosexual anyway, most talk show hosts are.

Read a lot

just abuse your position of power to make women awkwardly flirt with you in front of a camera so some incels can think you've got game.

Yeah, just become a talk show host. Nothing to it.

Depends what you mean by "is it possible?"

You can't watch cringey charisma videos on youtube and learn tricks that will make a single person on this planet like you one fucking iota more. That shit doesn't work. However, like any skill, you can talk to a bunch of people and get better at talking to people by doing it. In the process of doing that your goal should be to cultivate a genuine interest in people and their stories rather than to make yourself better at conversation, because that's really what people respond to. People come alive when they feel a genuine interest in what they have to say, and not just someone being charming because they want something from them.

You have to be born with it.That said, it's possible to be born with it, but never got the chance to practice it growing up, so it seems like you don't have it because you never demonstrated it. You have to be in those situations and develop it. You'll likely find out fairly quickly if it was an innate ability all this time or if you never had it.

Be yourself, don't imitate.

You have to be born with it.

The excuse that every worthless faggot who doesn't achieve anything in their life gives.

I don't think you have any business calling anyone a retard. Try some self awareness for once.

nah he's right fuck off retard
you can just do things

Now we have two retards in the thread. Or maybe its still just you samefagging. You seem like the type who'd engage in that sort of behavior.

I started noticing how incels sound almost indistingusihable from commies if you swap around a couple of key words, sometimes not even needed. Makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

Very interesting. None of that is relevant to what I said though.

Partly born with it but honed by years of drug abuse and alcoholism where he would say anything to anyone leading to a 6th sense for what women find flirtatious and no fear of embarrassment cause he's already said and done way more embarrassing thing inebriated than he could ever do while sober

not that anon but you need a bit of everything and luck

The replies in this thread are wild. You guy's brains are fried by manosphere incel bullshit. Craig doesn't do anything special, he has normal conversations with very light flirting. He throws a flirty line out and lets the women steer the conversation. But he also brings the conversation back to reality by asking a genuine question and not laying the flirting on thick. That's how actual real life flirting is supposed to happen, it's supposed to be fun, light hearted, flattering, and slightly comedic. Pure no strings attached banter. You do this enough with the same girl, over time, and she will start to give you hints to ask her out, or to fuck her. Disney/romance movie love at first sight is bullshit and doesn't happen irl. Everything takes time to build up, the build up is supposed to be relaxed and fun. That's why guys who are average in looks but have a great sense of humor typically don't have issues with getting dates. There's not "trick" to it, just have normal conversations, if you want to flirt and compliment a woman but you're not sure if she's open to actual flirting, compliment things that she's wearing, or something she's doing. i.e. "nice shot" if she's playing basketball, or "your makeup is nice today" over time she'll get the hints and will steer the conversation into actual flirting with sexual tones if she's interested.

No-one is going to believe my story, but I'll share it anyway.
When I was a kid, Craig Ferguson worked at BBC Scotland. He starred in a mediocre comedy show that was only moderately successful. My Dad used to work at BBC Scotland and took me into work with him one day. This was about 30 years ago.
We went into the cafeteria and my Dad pointed out Craig Ferguson. "Do you want to meet him, little anon? He's a nice guy."
He was sitting on his own and looked liked a bit of a loser, so I declined. No-one - certainly no-one at the BBC - expected him to become as famous as he did.
Fast forward 30 years and, for all his success in the US, to me he'll always be Nigel No-Mates, sitting alone in the BBC cafeteria.

Not something you can emulate in your 20s and beyond.
It's deep rooted in his character from his formative years.

You can learn to be a womanizer, but not his type of 'flirt'.
For him it's almost constant, and it's a transparent type of flirting. It's very low stakes type of flirting that a woman can just laugh along with and nothing comes of it, like the door isn't opened or closed it is slightly ajar. He's confident, and he doesn't care that it doesn't go any further, so the woman feels at ease knowing she can walk away with zero hurt feelings at all at any time.
He's non-threatening while blatantly flirting.

And sometimes, he just goes for it.
He picked up his wife just flirting with her at a party, and she was there with her then boyfriend, charmed her out of that relationship.

You're not that guy, most people aren't.
Constantly being lightly flirty, very chatty, and funny while not taking it seriously isn't something you can just pick up.

well you already have started off with a false perception of it OP. you see it as witty and flirty. Craig sees it as just talking.

First of all, you have to like women, and then actually want to listen to their bullshit, but even if you pretend to care about their useless thoughts, then you still have to have ZERO initial interest in wanting them in any sort of sexual way.
NOW you can flirt, and if THEY want something more than that, it's up to them, not you.
Do that, and you're set.

I talked up a cute black girl at Walgreens and got her number yesterday
I used to be fat and kinda ugly, but spent a copious amount of time and money fixing that and now I’m not

finally, some good fucking food

isn't he tall too

tfw born with autism instead of innate get bitches ability

Hahaha whatever, oh well.

Craig was a fat bullied kid who grew up to be a suicidal alcoholic in his teens and 20s. He barely stopped himself from jumping off a bridge at one point, it was only because someone offered him free beer that he climbed back down. He was absolutely not born good looking and charming, he learned it. So shut up with this "oh if you weren't born perfect it's LE OVER" blackpill shit.

Why is she in her underwear?

The anons that are saying people are born with it are lying to you. Conversation is a skill you can work at, even autistic people get good at it when they apply their autism levels of focus to improving on it. Most conversations skills are supposed to be learned as a kid and teen but because of technology and quality of life changes in developed nations, the way people socialize and the amount of time people spend socializing has changed. You don't even need to go out and try to rizz up some random girl you want to bang. Start having conversations with older neighbors and family members, and coworkers, and even teachers.

Is it possible to become as witty and flirtatious as Craig Ferguson or do you have to be born with it?

It helps if your job entails being repeatedly approached by a series of attractive showbiz women who have been sent there to sell their show.

It's in their interests to come across as fun and likeable personalities, so they more or less have just be a good sport and follow his lead, unless he seriously fucks up and oversteps the mark.

Real life doesn't offer many such opportunities. You're at an automatic advantage when it is them that must approach you, they know who you are, and you don't have to find some excuse to approach them in a non- weird way, where you're not bothering them, and somehow demonstrate to them that you're interesting, attractive and normal.

What's actually weird is that more talkshow hosts aren't so good at this. Most probably hold back out of respect for their wives.

Real life doesn't offer many such opportunities.

This isn't true.
I'm probably going to set off a bunch of nonsense replies and debates but if you are American and live around black Americans watch or listen to black men who are 30 or older talk to women. These conversations type of conversations are normal, not every joke or compliment lands but more often than not most women are open to being approached and complimented if you don't look like Quasimodo and you have some basic confidence.

The most important thing is your teeth. Smiles carry you hard in things like job interviews or dinner conversations

Yes you can reprogram yourself to be charming but you have to be tall and not hideously ugly
t. Late bloomer

That's like asking how to be confident. If people knew the answer the world would be cured of incels, rape, the birth rate would be fixed.

Your advice is exactly what manosphere incel bullshit say anon, you probably have a rotten brain from your woke circles thinking they're telling men that they need to rape and kill women or some shit.

interesting story anon, so was your fathers contention that craig seemed like a loser then? i wonder what changed him, i know he was a heavy drinker for a while.

I have this weird thing where when I am on my own, I am capable of acting (relatively) normal and socializing somewhat.
However, when my parents are around, like if my dad is introducing me to his friend from work or something, I am the most autistic retard on the planet.

thinking talk shows are spontaneous

has anyone ever stolen your nose but given it back to you?
bro everything that happens in talk shows are written on a script and rehearsed even the reactions you think are genuine.

nice job anon, you're killing it and im proud of you
also checked

so this guy was an intern after all

I drop like 30 IQ points whenever I talk to my dad. I think part of it is because I've always wanted to please him and he's had clinical depression for most of his life so mood swings are normal with him, if you say something he doesn't like for example.
I don't want to presomptuously compare our experiences but I think it has to do with how we want our fathers to see us.

No the manosphere shit if focused on putting men down for not being tall, or wealthy enough and it makes you think that's all women care about. I wasn't even talking about PUA shit because that's retarded too. What people in this thread think of as some type of trick or innate quality is basic fucking conversation skills, if you engage in conversation without any agendas. There's no game to it. You can look like a straight up monkey and have women laughing and bantering and flirting with you if you make it clear that you're not there to solely creep on them.

Dick did it first
youtube.com/watch?v=vn7e_LEgJTM

It's blackpilling watching old Dick Cavett Show episodes and realising how much more intelligent and articulate celebrities used to be

He’s actually not that handsome if you look at a still image of his face. Craig’s power is charisma.

It's possible in some circumstances but you have to be in the zone. The thing about Craig is that he never left that zone, he's a natural.

But he's not?
