There\'s been a number of disagreements about the degree you can manipulate somebody, for instance

these instant get laid books. I\'d like to open a discussion on the subject.

There are many organizations that

teach salesmanship, persuasion and manipulation skills. They range from car and insurance sales organizations,

shrinks and SWAT teams to the CIA and the Mossad. The simple fact is that you can use various techniques to persuade

people to do pretty much anything in a relatively short period of time. There is a good reason that many states have

laws giving the consumer several days to back out of a transaction, the techniques work! That is not to say they

work on everybody or under all conditions, but if they work reliably 30% of the time, that\'s pretty good.

Ok,

what I want to know is why they will not work in a dating situation. Why do you feel it wouldn\'t work on you?

Have you ever bought anything through high pressure sales? How would the methods differ? Have you ever used these

techniques and have reportable results, both good and bad? How does this impact the likelihood of establishing a

long term relationship?
