Charm

Since someone used the term in a secret.

What makes a person charming? Is it different for a man or a woman?

Usually now I see it given to male characters with traits I don't care for (masculinity, arrogance, "dominant" behavior). In some older works, I've seen it given to characters with traits I find more appealing. Maybe it's subjective, like beauty - I'm not "charmed" by the first type, but some people are.

So how would you define it?

I think it's subjective. People you don't find physically attractive or the gender you're attracted to can be charming too, in the pleasant or fun to be around sense

I've always considered charming people to be friendly, great with people, and positive.

I'd say a charming person is someone who makes other people feel more comfortable and less nervous. There's a sense that even if you screw up and say the wrong thing, they'll know what you were trying to say and won't take offense.

Yes, this. You feel like you're at your best because they're taking an interest in you and seem to be enjoying your company.

When people say "charm" I feel like they are often referring to a set of traits in men that are attractive to many people (but not really to me). It's a strong association so when I like the way a guy acts I don't tend to use the word "charming" because "charming" feels less subjective to me than just "appealing" or something like that.

I'm more likely to use "charming" in a positive way if we're talking about like, a charming little cottage or something like that lol.

Usually I think of someone who either innately has something about them that many people find appealing, or they know how to interact with people so that they'll like them.

For men, I usually think of someone who has a 'silver tongue' and is good at using words to manipulate people or make them feel good around when they talk to them. Like someone who knows how to make people laugh or how to flatter with delicacy. That sort of thing.
