Ofcourse our past shapes our present and future... The things we experience predispose us to our preferences. Again... if they choose it, who are you to judge?
by DaddyYou've only scratched the surface and a seasoned manipulator would seldom start off with flattery. Infact the opposite is true. The first thing the target must realize (or at least believe) is that they are below you. Only then is it worthwhile to build them up.
I disagree.
In my experience, the best way to manipulate someone is to make them feel like you're on their level. When they feel like you're someone who they can relate to, who values them and treats them with respect, they tend to trust you quicker, which makes manipulating them a lot easier and quicker than your suggested method.
I'd only judge if it merely came from lack of exposure to other options. Why be stuck with a limited set of options when there's so many to choose from? The past is responsible for who we are, but who we become could be very different if given the opportunity through learning what else is out there.
How can someone know they want something if they never were given the means to be able to want it in the first place?
by Daddy...That's because you're unattractive TK... It's different for beautiful women that are used to constant advances... for you, yes, kindness would be the best bet, I was refering to 7s and up...
I'm not unattractive at all, lol. You're a narcissist, not a sociopath. That's why you treat everyone as though they're below you and fail to see how that just makes you look insecure. The only people I imagine you being capable of manipulating are those who are clingy and needy. After all, you also said that most of them want to be victims. That's because they're so pathetically weak they already became victims before you met them.
You choose weak prey because you're incapable of manipulating anything else.
