Expressing willingness to extend the services provided, in exchange for favours?

And of course the aforementioned prostitutes, who are basically working on the fast-food model ("Person wants what I'm offering when they happen to be near me, and I'm the cheapest and most convenient source, rather than the nicest.")

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Sex Appeal
Administration's application for that purpose is rather horrible. You use it to identify employees who are sufficiently motivated by fear of losing their job or hope of climbing the ladder that they'll ignore their preferences. Engineer only seems to be useful for building a really good...ah...marital aid.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Sex Appeal
Then what's in play when a woman wants a man because she sees him successfully Intimidate another man? Complementary skill roll?

I can actually see a couple of ways to handle it. One is, as you say, to treat it sort of like a complementary skill roll: the one who wins the Quick contest gets +1, the one who loses gets -1. The other would be to treat it as a sort of competing Influence rolls, like two people having a debate and trying to persuade the audience to do what one of them wants.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Sex Appeal
This hypothetical woman probably has a relevant Likes quirk, and therefore should just react better on that basis.
