Depending on the person. Sometimes I will just lower myself to his or her lvl or lower. To make him or her feel empowered. Once they take the bait and there ego is stroked a bit. Your chances for getting what you want is drastically improved. Sometimes depending on there personality you will have to take on a more dominant role.

thats smart, look dumber than your mark so you can strike later when their defence is down. i like that.

Generally speaking there are many ways to get what you want. My preference is the unnoticed way, They don't know your intentions. One of my favorites is the mask of kindness. Put yourself out there to be a kind, loving and joyful person. You can then do what you want and no one will suspect a thing. Masking is a good technique.

i like to read body language, and by reading BL you can segway into face reading. and when you are talking to a hateful bastard you can make them say yes to what you want, by playing with what they show you, changing your conversation to be in your favour.

you can almost read their mind this way.

 yea red harrings are the best sort of smoke screen i agree

I certainly know what you mean as I have a similar fascination with the topic. But, all things being relative. How you do that would be entirely dependent on the situation, people (personality types/background) involved, and what I wanted. There may be many similarities between scenarios but there is no cookie-cutter/onesize-fits-all answer.

Yeah I agree you have to be flexible and know how to read someone.

But and it's pretty common sense when you want something from someone in essence you're relinquishing power to someone because they could say no. In general what works best for me is to play the charm card, it's hard to explain but basically you have to appear to be smiling and be easy-going, almost carefree in your demeanor.

But you'll meet difficult people. Just yesterday I was trying to get something from someone and they wouldn't give it to me. Instead of getting upset I came up with a great lie on the spot but they didn't understand what I was trying to explain.

So I stayed cool, explained some more, behave as if it was not that important that I get the stuff I wanted after all and finally everything fell into place and I got what I was after.

thats true, thats why i ask if you want to give your ideas on what you would do in a 1 vs 1 moment, it doesn't matter, you can also talk about the moment and how it went down. know what i mean? like say your in an interview for a new job, most people are freaking out and say their worst qualities first (yea stupid right) and then fail the interview.

now people don't listen to everything you say they only listen to what they are looking for so that means the first 3 words out of your mouth have to be good like "im loyal, hard working, and i go to work early."

and call your boss "boss" stroke the ego of people incharge.

Each instance is different in a few ways. If the person seems simple minded, I might just dig into something they have a strong stance on, pretend I have the same stance, and then ask them for whatever I need afterwards as if we were long time friends.

Most people seem like they rather say yes than no any way, so manipulation isn't really all that needed. If they aren't simple minded, I might just use overwhelming logic on why they should comply with what I am saying.

If it is someone I have a history with, I might play the "I never ask for anything, just do me this one favor" routine.

It just depends on the scenario I guess.
