@Daisy: Actually his social skills are far better than many other peoples. He is able to make almost anyone like or love him and can manipulate anyone to doing what he wants.

Pechorin is simply a nihilist with nothing on his mind but to satisfy his daily boredom and getting into stories for his own amusement.
