I can only try to answer from my "own experience" but here we go

See, that's what I have tried to figure out...how does rat do it? Is it like a teenie bopper's crush on a movie star or rock star?

Absolutely not. I had plenty of those as a teenager.

Is it like the infatuation with Lady Diana?

No, I could identify a little with her but never with Rawat.

 It's sure not his looks. It can't be his voice, which is irritating in the extreme---though I have heard premies say they just love to listen to his voice.

Definitely not his looks. ( never my type. Too short. Too fat. Voice too high ) Now..I think he was quite nice looking in his late teens...but at the time he didn't conform to my ideals.

 They can't tell you a word he said, when questioned, other than: "it was so wonderful". Maybe it's impossible to understand what his "hook" is, probably there's more than one.

His discourse is so disjointed and contradictory it is difficult to recall what he says.

I definitely know that a feeling is involved. I know the feeling and I know that it isn't only the rawat thing that induces it in me. It's trancey , warm and very nice....but not his property and not always appropriate to feel in practical, everyday life. 

Sorry, Premie Spouse , It's Sat. Night and I'm going

out...but you asked an important question...How does he do it.?..and I would love to hear the response of others. Thanks for your untainted by nollidge and valuable contribution to this forum .
