The new playboy’s handbook / chapter five
by Pier Francesco Grasselli
And now, Chapter Five…where the real magic happens.
Forget the brooding loner myth: women don’t fall for statues.
They fall for charm, humor, and the kind of ease that says, “I’ve got this.”
Because in the end, social intelligence isn’t just sexy—it’s survival.
🕺 Friendliness and Ease: The True Tools of a Playboy
There’s a myth we need to bust right away: the charm of the “dark and brooding” type—the silent man, shrouded in mystery, who supposedly attracts women without saying a word.
Well, that’s a fairytale—good for French films and romance novels. Sure, the image of the mysterious loner might seem appealing in theory, but in practice, likeability and ease are definitively the keys to a man’s luck in love.
The truth is, real playboys—the ones who leave a mark—aren’t marble statues staring into the void. They’re lively, engaging, outgoing, and fun. They have presence.
A sharp sense of humor, the ability to make people feel at ease, and to build friendly connections have always ranked among the most attractive traits. Because seduction isn’t just about smoldering looks and whispered lines—it’s about social intelligence. And that, my friend, never goes out of style.
Social intelligence—the ability to read and navigate social interactions effectively—has deep roots. Back in the primal days, forging alliances and mastering group dynamics was key to survival. No surprise, then, that this ability is still considered powerfully attractive: the man who rules the social scene, rules the game.
Women, whether they realize it or not, look for a man who knows how to move with ease through different social settings. A man with social intelligence signals he’s capable of protecting and providing for a future family—if things ever get tough.
✨ Charm and Humor
“Gigi Rizzi was incredibly friendly and good-humored,” says Maurizio Raggio. “When he walked into a venue, he’d get to know everyone—men and women—within minutes and instantly became popular. Naturally, women were drawn to him.”
People are attracted to those who make them feel good. Humor and good-naturedness are powerful tools for creating connections. Women, in particular, find a man who can make them laugh absolutely irresistible. In the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, there’s a scene where Eddie Valiant asks the stunning Jessica Rabbit why she’s involved with a rabbit, and she answers simply: “He makes me laugh.”
👌 Ease and Confidence
Ease is just as important. A playboy is never awkward or intimidated by a beautiful woman. No matter how stunning or sophisticated she may be, he approaches every interaction with calm confidence. It’s not about being shallow or indifferent—it’s about projecting an inner calm that sends a clear message: “I’m comfortable, no matter what happens.”
Imagine you’re at a party. A likable and self-assured man enters the room, introduces himself with a genuine smile, makes light-hearted conversation with the guests, and puts everyone at ease. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, nor does he behave like a clown. Women are drawn to him—not because he’s the most handsome or wealthy—but because he’s the most approachable, well-connected, and sociable.
💬 Tips:
✔ Use your sense of humor and irony: Don’t be afraid to make light-hearted jokes and comment on situations with irony. Remember, irony is a trait that most women do not possess, which is precisely why they are so fascinated by it.
✔ Keep calm: Ease comes from self-confidence and inner calm. Work on your self-esteem and learn to approach social situations with a relaxed attitude.
✔ Don’t try too hard to impress others: Avoid going out of your way to impress people. Likability and ease naturally emerge when you feel comfortable in your own skin. In a world where so many men desperately try to get noticed with forced, unnatural behaviors, the playboy stands out through his authenticity and natural demeanor.
