Methods of Manipulation(MOM)
or
How to get folks involved in helping to make you happier!

Acronym=PIG---BOA

1--P=Persuasion
Attempt to convince them that it would be in their self-interest to see and do things your way.

2--I=Intimidation
Apply force,threaten,cajole,coerce,get physical,hire an attorney,etc.

3-G=Guilt
Use whatever tactics seem appropriate to instill a feeling of guilt or unworthiness in your subject such as --If you really cared for me you would do such and such,my way- etc.

4-B=Buy
Pay them a salary or use something of value to entice them to come around to your point of view.

5-O=Obligate
Use gifts or other inducements to instill a sense of obligation to accomodate your wishes.

6-A=Affection
Threaten to withdraw caring,consideration,love,sex,etc., until compliance is received.

These are techniques that practically ALL women know by instinct, being told from birth, that they are "the weaker sex". They become true masters of manipulation in order to arrange their world for optimum benefit and provide stability for raising children.They become extremely skillful in using several of these tactics simultaneously causing maximum cognitive dissonance in the male brain.

Most men can only apply one technique at a time depending on their age and experience. Young testerone overloaded males prefer intimidation, the older and wiser males tend to rely on persuasion and buying .

Don't be surprised if you find yourself being bounced from one technique to another so fast that you temporarily lose the perception that you are being manipulated. That is the mark or sign that you are in the presence of an expert -probably someone like your mom, girlfriend,or gay buddy. :)

Using Our Gov't as an example-We're persuading the Democrats,intimidating Al Queda,Guilt tripping the French for their disloyalty after we saved them in WW-2,buying the Israelis,obligating the Iraquis by fighting for their freedom, and offering affection to all those soldiers that are sacrificing their lives for a higher purpose.

These techniques work in all areas of human interaction-- whether it's the home,workplace,schoolyard,or just out shopping-- makes no difference.

I advise utmost caution in challenging,exposing, or attempting to enlighten the manipulator that you are onto their devices. Such a blunt confrontation will likely cause you to go to bed sexually unfulfilled,hungry,and lonely. Not to mention: :grumpy: :mad:
 
7. Manipulation through the use of an third party.

This would entail subtly leading/causing a third party to effect the action/reaction you wish. This has the benefit of removing the manipulating person from direct suspicion. Further if done skillfully, the third party will think (and/or will be too proud to admit otherwise) that the idea and resulting action was their's alone. :( :( :(
 
Blackmail, extortion, and kidnapping were good to bring most anyone into compliance back in my time as a social worker.

Other than the drunks. Them it took rehab as a first step. Trying to save them and their kids from their problems will drive you to drink.

Want to guess how I learned the substance abuse trade? ( Hint - it was the hard way! )

The crazies were much easier.

An old Yaqui Indian wiseman is alledged to have said that the person in CONTROL never applies force directly,he always gets another to do that while he stays in the background directing the play.The force appliers are sometimes referred to as first-line supervisors. :cool:

So that's what those voices in my head are doing....
