Look, Ma! Two Heads!
I'm talking about Lady Killer, Confirmed Bachelor, Black Widow, Cherchez La Femme, and Terrifying Presence. Are any of them truly worth taking?
Are Dialogue Perks Worth It?

Personally, I found them lacking.
The gender-related ones are quite situational and rarely provide any significant bonus. The main reason I'd take it is for the 10% bonus to the opposite gender, but because I roleplay a lot, I tend to ignore it. The only time it added something significant in terms of dialogue and options is in the case of Black Widow and Benny. The rest I found were mostly dialogue options which save you some kind of chore you'd have to do otherwise (Like in the case of Confirmed Bachelor and Manny Vargas).
Terrifying Presence has more instances in which it can be used, but it almost always results in having to kill the other person. If you end up having to kill the person anyways, why not just kill them without the perk, right? All you're paying for is a single line of (badass) dialogue. The 'frighten' effect would've been more enjoyable if they wouldn't just pick up their weapons and fight you a couple of seconds after you initiate it.
The one dialogue perk I really enjoyed was the "Child at Heart" perk from Fallout 3. It gave small benefits, but also opened up completely new options, both for good and bad karma characters. Sadly, they scrapped it from Fallout: New Vegas.

If they suit your character, take them.
They aren't very relevant, but if it suits your character, it's always nice to have extra dialogue options that reflect your build
Also: Sneering Imperialist also adds a couple dialogue options(Especially in Honest Hearts)

Agree. For example, I have a char with the Huhter perk, because he is a hunter (dã) not because I need extra damage against geckos and molerats.
I also have a char with Charisma 10. 10 points of uselessness, but fits with his background.
Edit: I forgot to respond. purely gameplay, they are not worth the trouble.
