It's probably best to be both and just adapt to the situation sure, but I was just asking hypothetically.
James Bond would be the center of attention if he entered a room: everyone would notice.
If you're actually _trying_ to be the center of attention and it doesn't just happen naturally, that's not good.
I usually find myself in the center of attention and then try to move out of it. Doing otherwise is too 'etherically' pushy. (Read some new-age B.S. to understand that... it might be crazy, but it helped me a lot. Silent Power by Stuart Wilde, for example. Or anything by the Crimson Circle.)
I actually think James Bond is a bit flawed as a pickup artist because he never makes any mistakes or shows vulnerability. Certainly, his strength of character goes a long way, but some girls look for someone a bit more down to earth. I guess that's the "Fun alpha male" component you're talking about, and yes, you do need that.
If you're too suave, too perfect, you come off weird. No one likes perfect people. Be flawed.
