There is a new book that just hit the libraries called "The Art of Seduction," by Robert Greene (author of "The 48 Laws of Power"). The book starts out by outlining nine archetypal personas for seduction, and the persona of the Anti-Seducer.
While seduction has many negative connotations, (coming as it does from the Latin word meaning "to lead astray"), what Greene is talking about is becoming more magnetic and attracting people to you. Once you identify which of the archetypes is most natural for you, you can use New Behavior Generator to enhance your native talents, and Instantanious Personal Magnitism to close-up the leakes of the Anti-Seducer.
Greene gives many historical and contemporary examples of seductive people. For example, he goes into great detail on Marilyn Monroe in his chapter on the Siren. You should be able to modle those people who aready doing what you're good at.
Let us know how this works out for you.
