Summary

This quote suggests that charm can be used as a subtle form of persuasion or manipulation. Rather than directly and explicitly asking for a favor or desired outcome, charm allows individuals to influence others in a more indirect manner. By using charm to win people over, individuals can increase their likelihood of receiving a positive response without having to explicitly pose a question or request. Charm has the power to subtly guide others towards a desired outcome, making it an effective tool in social interactions and negotiations.
