Good story-tellers are more attractive for women

Surveys found that the story itself didn’t matter all that much. How you present the story is what matters most.

Women were more interested in talented male story-tellers as long-term partners. They considered storytellers to have higher status than non-storytellers.

The mental effort of a person near you will intensify your concentration levels.
