being likable is an under-rated skill
i would say it is distinct from game and charisma
most of you i am sorry to say do not have it
i am posting this because i just saw a clip of NinaDrama asking JonJones in an interview to say that they didn't sleep together because her boyfriend thinks that they did ... Nina is an example of somebody who is likeable ... everybody was giving her shit for being a fat slut but instead of getting bitter about it she owned her fat slut image and ran with it - laughing WITH the people poking fun at her ...
Ronda Rousey is the opposite - she had everything going for her - beautiful, fit, one of the most impressive athletes in history ... but every time she opens her mouth she just makes everybody hate her. she says things like "Joe Rogan is not an MMA expert he is a fan with an audience" ... now this may be technically accurate ... but you say something like this and you instantly lose 80% of your fans in one second.
Joe Rogan had to respond to this comment on his podcast and said he has nothing but love and respect for Ronda Rousey and that he understands her perspective.
Imagine being the number one MMA commentator in the world and saying you understand and agree with somebody saying you are not an MMA expert ... you could see the pain on Rogan's face when he said it but Rogan understood that saying this won't his followers think less of him whereas getting into a squabble with Ronda would only drag him down to her level of being hated by everybody.
now i am not saying that being likeable is about shitting on yourself and not criticizing others. Trump used to be likeable despite shitting on everybody and never admitting any faults of his own. But it was so comical the way he did it that he was somehow likeable for just how absurd it was.
so there may not be any one formula for being likeable but some people are and some people are not.
and in case of Trump he used to be but isn't anymore.
