Star Trek: 10 Things You Need To Be The Ultimate Starfleet Captain

6. Sex Appeal

Star Trek: Enterprise Scott Bakula "To boldly go where no one has gone before". Yeah, you're going to be meeting lots of people. You're going to be impressing lots of them too. They're going to be offering their firstborn child in marriage after you save their ship from a space amoeba. You need to be ready for this. Remember though, this isn't really about looks. This is more about confidence, swagger and style. Klingons aren't exactly lookers but if you can throw down, stomp some faces and act with honor, well, you may have some cross species speed dating opportunities thrown your way. You don't necessarily have to act on the opportunities but, in the interest of good will and inter species communications, you need to at least seem like you are available. Just pretend you're in a boy band (I still can't believe they have those after three hundred years) and hide your romantic status from the public. You won't be in the star system long enough for them to figure out the truth anyway. Kirk had it, Picard had it, Janeway had it, Riker had it up to his immaculately sculpted beard. Get some for yourself. You won't be sorry.
