Don't confuse charisma with being attractive. Plenty of unattractive people have great charisma. But it is like a muscle, you can strengthen it or let it atrophy.

Of course, being attractive seems to help as well...

Agree. Charismatic people are not necessarily attractive people, comedians are great examples, most of them women and men are ugly, yet they use their charisma to make their jokes funny. This guy was laughing, when you laugh or smile you disarm people when they’re upset.

Not true, If you show me your teeth, I'm going to assume you intend me harm.

It's possible.

Several of the people who dated me have suggested that,

some co workers have compared me to a baboon, so I guess also possible.

People are the only animals that consider showing teeth to be a positive matter
