Don't really know the answer to that question myself.

I have been in one relationship where I was being pushed into something I wanted no part of which would have been a big change from what I was experienced in job wise.

I did take the course even though I knew my health history would prevent getting the cdl endorsement.

Parents are manipulative, they say things like, "You can try on my dress if you wash your hands and face".

Novelists, playwrights and script writers are manipulative - they take us through a gamut of emotions and experiences with their stories.

News repoters, entertainers, teachers, medics, counsellors, flower arrangers, tailors, artists, mathematicians, scientists are all manipulative in one way, or another.

We are all manipulative. Babies cry, or smile to get the response that they want.

Sometimes we manipulate positively, sometimes negatively.

Some people manipulate selfishly, or negatively to such an extent that its destructive to a relationship.

Gently directing or out and out pushing! Either way it is manipulation.

It would really depend on the circumstances. If a man is hell bent on getting a lady into bed he will try everything in the book. But on the other hand, if a woman wants the same, all she has to do is make a come on hither -- just another type of manipulation.

Both are calculating and can be deceitful.

Yes, presumably a positive one assuming you like beer. laugh

As is offering beer for a price, a form of manipulation.

Each is manipulating the other's behaviour, or a change in another person's behaviour is a direct result of your own behaviour.

The point I was trying to make was that manipulation in itself is not necessarily an evil thing that only evil people do.

It can be a very positive thing and actually we all manipulate positively and negatively.

Oh dear, you just don't get this, do you?

The girls night out thing is three manipulations:

1. Alter your opinion regarding the benefits to you and me with reference to a girls night out;

2. Alter your opinion regarding the perception that you have that might be detrimental to you and me; &

3. Sodding well go out and see the girls anyway and if it pisses you off, serves you right!!!

The best I can figure is 50% of men are more manipulative than women and 50% of women are more manipulative than men, so as far as I can tell it still leaves all guessing what heck is going on like we always have or maybe just me who is left guessing JMO
