Ask as many people as you can these two questions, and try to find
out where the commonalities are. If everyone says you’re a nice guy,
then you’re probably a nice guy. If everyone says you’re selfish, then

Now that you have this information what can you do with it? Well,

start to mold your identity into a more seductive version of itself.
Each of us are going to have different traits that we want to change;
it’s important early on to know what people think of you, so you can
work on developing a more seductive identity over time that is authentic
and powerful.
