First, you must disabuse yourself of the notion that "perqs" is misspelled and should be "perks." "Perqs" is correct because it is the truncated form of "perquisites," a term which means, among other things, "A thing regarded as a special right or privilege enjoyed as a result of one's position."

Being a nationally known beer writer carries some of those perqs. Lauren and Megan, sitting at the bar of the Stage House Tavern in Somerset (and apparently star-struck), were kind enough to pose with yours truly, though I had just met them.
The narcissist in me wants to credit the "personal charm factor." But the truth is that neither their dignity nor well-being was in danger of being threatened by a friendly, harmless Geezer. So they probably felt sorry for me.
Sorry.
"Personal Charm Factor" sounds better.
Cheers!
