Does this make any sense?

Question

The qualities that make a great leader seem to me to be directly opposed to the qualities that make a successful politician.

The qualities that make a great relationship partner also seem directly opposed the the qualities that make one successful at dating.

Do you want a leader who is able to talk and talk and say nothing? makes promoses he knows he will never fulfil? puts his finger to the wind to make decisions? makes speaches that other people have written? has good soundbites? Cateres to the lowest common denominator?

Do you want a boyfriend who makes passes at every woman he meets? has a rolladex full of girls numbers? knows how to play you? Do you really want a girlfriend who likes hanging out in bars? flirts with every guy? dresses like a hooker? Spends hours in front of a mirror?

Is there a word for a process that works to exclude the desired charactor traits and rewards the undesired traits?

Answer 1

yes ban all smooth talkers from running for office.
