ORIGINAL: Therealslavelife Actually I perceive him as very good. He has the mind f--k going, you are on pins and needles. You may have found the real deal. And I wouldn't view that as the real deal because I don't do fear play or mind fucks. As far as manipulating people, it's an essential skill to get your needs met. Hell, it's the basis of diplomacy. Getting people to do things your way and like it. I didn't look for someone who wanted an incompetent partner, I found one who isn't so insecure that this bothers him. And he's smart enough to recognize me trying it on him and just laugh. YMMV I'd say it depends, foster dog chewed on one of H's vintage guitars, no damage to the guitar but teeth marks and my fault as I didn't put him in his crate when I took a shower, thought it would be fine and the bugger escaped and he managed to open the door to the room, errr I made him a really nice dinner and wore rather tight fitting clothes, his first question was "OK tell me, what happened...." He didn't explode as I had asked friends to secure me another one and he's getting an even more vintage Les Paul and I'm bringing it back with me next time I'm in LA (just had to sell my skills into slavery for a few weeks), but yeah, he knew what I was doing but hey, it still worked (I decided I am definitely not going for the boob reduction), he comes in with a bottle of bubbly and looking sheepish, I asked him if he fell over with my bike and how bad the scratching is. I don't think it's evil manipulation or anything like that, it's more like "look, I'm making an effort because I effed up" apart from that, the man who said he doesn't like dogs, especially large dogs, decided earlier on that Harvey is going to be our Doberman number 4, even after he ate H's game controller and left the teeth marks on the guitar, I might have manipulated him a little bit, but really, dogs and cats make him happy ;) The main thing in relationships is making each other happy, how you do it really doesn't matter much
