Charmed, I'm sure...

There are some women who have the ability to enrapture men. Specifically my Mom, but not limited to her. I've always wondered if it was pheromonal, chemical, social - just what combination of criteria make for irresistibility? Over the course of my mating life, I have been described as "intimidating", "overpowering", and a "firecracker" but never "alluring", "exceptional", or "entrancing".
