Oh so wrong EFLI. You are soooo off the mark boyo.
Perks of the job?

It amounts to few free drinks every couple of months - not a load of **** at all!
But, once it has been banked (NO cash/mickey-mouse names given etc, these days), HMRC advised of it as income, 29% deducted = not that many free drinks…..

Oh I don't know - met my fair share of confident bullshitters in my time!
Confidence is ok, but good sense of humour is a must for me, after all he would need it
Cor blimey, glass half full I see. Literally?!
Those pesky folk who nicked metal and made the laws change, ruined it for everyone...
Yourself and EFLI are clouding or confusing the two. But yes, the world is full of bullshitters. However, you can separate the two.
Agree.
When I approach work, especially at the quoting and meeting the customer stage, I want to appear confident that I can deliver whatever the customer wants. Some customers have commented (later on) that it was my demeanor that steered them to consider my price over other builders.
Don't under estimate confidence. That's why tricksters abuse it so much.

The key word is "some" - some customers; some women - there is no magic bullet.

And don't under estimate how important a sense of humour is! I just joking, trying to lighten your comment, that's all.
A sense of humour is very important imho

If it's MPs, it's their entitlement, if it's anyone else, it's a perk, and therefore taxable. One rule for them etc etc.
And some women like confidence, some get bamboozled by bullshite, and others prefer humour. I always found direct sincerity worked for me.
But scientists will tell you we're attracted by pheromones, and we know that you can look across the room and be attracted to someone, so there's got to be a lot more going on than we realise.

Pheromones are natures way of saying someone is a strong compatible match for procreation purposes, which we screw up by wearing perfume and aftershave, but looking at someone across a room and getting turned on suggests there's something else going on, because at the end of the day, we need to procreate to continue the species, so there's definitely something hard wired going on at a subliminal level.
And studies have show that we're only designed to stay together for a couple of years to help bring the offspring to a more manageable age, and then to move on to keep the strong gene pool going. So anyone that think they have any control over their lives, sorry, but you're wrong.
We are all just flotsam in the stream of life, and you can either learn to relax, and go with the flow, or struggle, and go under.

And what studies are you referring to, that suggest we are designed to stay together for a couple of years, and then to move on?

Different scenario Dave, but this brings up the debate of nature versus nurture. Society pushes us into long term relationships, whilst nature needs to spread the gene pool to stay healthy, at least it would have whilst people were few and far between. But maybe feckless modern fathers should be forcibly snipped.

You are misunderstanding and confusing two entirely different concepts: Nature/Nurture and Evolutionary Biology.
What is more, you are assuming that Evolutionary biology is static or you are unaware of it. By its very title, it is not static.
Nature/Nurture argument is about hereditary characteristics, brown eyes, red hair, hair loss, tendency to tan easily, possible IQ levels, etc.
It is not about evolution of biology where a species allows and adapts to its conditions in order to allow the hereditary characteristics to evolve.
According to your model, females would be endeavoring to have children by multiple mates. Or does your nature/nurture model only apply to males?
