Very simply, swagger is how a person presents themself to the world, the ability to handle a situation with calm and an uncanny grace. The ability to maintain a good level of self-confidence without seeming arrogant. The apparent effortlessness to this person’s style, the way they dress, walk and talk. A person with swagger is not very easily upset by anyone or anything.
Even those whose personality tends to be the opposite of swagger can use certain elements of a person who embodies swagger completely. don’t think it necessary to become the very definition of swagger, just adding a small bit of calm and cool to your personality can help you in the long run. If you do happen to become the definition of swagger in it’s human form, you likely already had a ton inside of you all along, but maybe didn’t know how to fully harness it yet.
A person with swagger does not pretend to know something that they don’t. They understand that to be a great conversationalist, they should only expound on what they do know and that they should ask questions about what they don’t know. In doing this, they avoid being found to be a fraud, which is contrary to what swagger is.
Literally and figuratively, a person with true swagger, gives others space! Nothing is more annoying than being over-crowded by someone else. Annoying is contrary to swagger. A close talker CANNOT be a person of swagger, because they make others feel uncomfortable. Someone with true swagger gives people room, they do not warm a person’s face with their breath, no matter how pleasant their breath may be. No one should be within accidental spittle range!
This type of person is able to “slow the moment” in their head, whatever the case may be. This means that no matter the situation that arises, they keep their head about them. They are never panicked. They are able to take control of a situation when it is needed. They are able to follow the lead of someone capable of leading if it is needed as well. They don’t let the emotions of others escalate their emotions. They remain steady and do not cry over spilled milk.
Nothing is more contrary swagger than a disrespectful person. People with swagger treat others with respect. They do not berate those working for or serving them, such as employees, waiters/waitresses, bartenders, etc. Those people who are the definition of swagger also tip according to custom and avoid looking like cheap-skates.
It’s funny, but people just yearn to be around those with true swagger, because they are fun, charismatic and curiously different. People with swagger have an element of mystery too, which is intriguing. Their cool persona is complemented because they are clean, stylish and a good communicators.
A person who embodies swagger, does not waste time arguing with fools. This is key to maintaining any swagger they may possess. An intelligent debate with another person makes for good conversation and stimulates the brain. But arguing with a fool, even when the person of swagger is 100% correct, makes them both look like fools. People looking on will not be able to tell the difference. A fool is a person who is overly loud, vulgar, substitutes intellect and communication skills with profanity. From such a person, a person with swagger will take their leave immediately and with no regrets.
