Charm is not a Virtue

Our culture elevated "charm" to the level of a virtue, but the Bible does not. Charm is associated with manipulation and superficial ornament to be taken on and off, it is more of a verb, deliberate action rather than a character quality.
Definitions of Charm:
noun
1. the power or quality of giving delight or arousing admiration.
"he was captivated by her youthful charm"
2. a small ornament worn on a necklace or bracelet.
verb
delight greatly.
"the books have charmed children the world over"
control or achieve by or as if by magic.
"pretending to charm a cobra"
God says this;
Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised."
