"Women are attracted by a man's flattering words"

Srimad-Bhagavatam

SB Canto 5

Women are attracted by a man's flattering words. One who is expert in this art of flattery is called vidagdha.
SB 5.2.17, Translation and Purport:

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: Mahārāja Āgnīdhra, whose intelligence was like that of a demigod, knew the art of flattering women to win them to his side. He therefore pleased that celestial girl with his lusty words and gained her favor.

Since King Āgnīdhra was a devotee, he actually had no attraction for material enjoyment, but because he wanted a wife for progeny and Lord Brahmā had sent Pūrvacitti for this purpose, he expertly pleased her with flattering words. Women are attracted by a man's flattering words. One who is expert in this art of flattery is called vidagdha.
