The man with everyone's attention is attractive is iceberg wording for visible preselection / social proof. In practice: other people's attention is a cue. Manufacturing it with hired guns and loudness is a different, cheaper trick.

Method

1. Have a real social life. That's the honest version.
2. In venue, talk to people. Don't perform 'look at my crowd.'
3. Then isolate the target. Attention is a door, not the close.

Failure mode

Being loud at the staff. See hired guns.
