Poll question: Is using your manly or womanly 'wiles' OK to go get the 'WIN'??
Edited on Mon Jun-04-07 12:13 AM by Breeze54
So?

Do you manipulate men to get what you want?

Do you manipulate women to get what you want?

C'mom... tell it!! :rofl:

Of those of you that still feel the sexual power, DO you use it?

I used to for SURE; but I'm past those days...DAMN!!!!! :rofl:

So, fesssss up... are you women or men, using your intellect OR sex, to win over your LOVE INTEREST?? ;)

OR you're womanly OR manly wiles?? :shrug: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ?

This is NOT a psychological or political poll. NO SHIT!! :P ( :rofl: )

1. My dear Breeze54....
I do use both my womanly wiles and my intellect to get what I want/deserve!

Why not use all the weapons at your disposal?

I wasn't sure how to answer your poll........

3. LMAO!!
I wasn't sure how to answr either ! :P

I was trying really hard to be 'universal' but this is my first attempt at a 'universal' poll.
I may need to study this more or get pointers for those 'in the know'.

I used everything at my disposal when i set my sights on a lover.

Looks, eyes, body movement.... intellect, intellect, intellect. ;)

Men admire smart women... silently. Shhh! ;)

I get what I want with my brains and hard work or I don't get it and I wouldn't want it any other way.

7. It is?
I guess I lucked out. I'd have to work hard to not love either of the two most important people in my life. I still don't think I could. Hell, I can't even get properly mad at either one.

14. We started talking, and we wanted to talk some more.
I can't really explain it. Have you ever talked to somebody for a few days and realized they're already your best friend? Combine that with a hell of a lot of hormones and you have something very powerful. No pursuit, trickery or flirting for anything other than the fun of it was needed.

Yes, that's what I thought about it... at first.

I was astounded that we 'meshed' so neatly...and i mean 'mesh'!! ;)

It was unreal....

BUT... I DID use my 'womanly wiles' (unstated talents ;) (even I didn't know!) :)
(I know that now and so did he!) LOL!

It's almost like two magnets... (help me here) ...ya know what I mean??

11. Is that like begging?
:shrug:

Seriously, there was a time when I was much younger when I'd say whatever it took to be allowed to 'round the bases.' It's different now that I'm older, married, and more emotionally connected...

As for wit, I think I'm witty on occasion, but it's for its own sake and not with any ulterior motive.

18. Actually, it was my trust fund and my BMW...
The quote is from Weird Science:

Dino: What's a broad like you doing with a malaka like this?
Lisa: It's purely sexual.
Dino: No shit?
Gary: She's into malakas, Dino...

(And I don't really have a trust fund or a beemer... so go figure ;))

Especially if I want something badly enough.

I don't usually lose. And I don't plan on starting any time soon.

Watch out.

21. Well...
I don't normally realize I am using the feminine charms until it is pointed out to me. My partner in crime in all things political laughs at me (he's the Chair, I'm the Associate Chair of our organization). He thinks I have a few of the men-folks willing to do anything I ask.

Personally, I don't think I should look too far into it-if it helps Democrats, do I need to?

Now....maybe I'm talking 'self defense'? Not sure.

Getting back to what I want?

Hell yes, I'll use everything I have to get what I want!

Why not? :shrug: All is fair in LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

But I do have scruples..... :P Seriously...

39. Scruples are good...
They make you look more innocent when manipulating people to do what you want. That is what you meant by that, right?

Whatever you want to call it, I think it boils down to charisma and leadership skills. I don't think I could separate my feminine ways from the rest of my charms. It just ties everything together well.

24. Men have wiles?
Women trounce the holy hell out of us guys in that department. I swear, I don't even think I could ever win a battle. I wouldn't even know how. Sure, a woman might let me feel like I was in the game for a while, but that's just like playing with the prey a little before going in for the kill. In the end, I'd lose. Guaranteed.

27. Most people lay on lots of Platonic charm to get what they want
Within certain limitations of taste and boundaries, I don't see why sexual charm should be seen any differently.

30. hmm
I hope nobody reads too much into my statement but I think men are more easily maniplulated by women than the other way around. Women has always been mans weakness. A man who doesn't intend on having an affair, or a single guy not wanting a one night stand, could be overcome by a womans wiles given the right time, situation and circumstance. Women don't need to use force to get what they want, they just turn on their sex appeal and SOME men turn to mush. Now... the wiser, older and more mature man will hone in on this manipulative tactice and won't fall for it.

I've known some men who are perfectly capable of sexually manipulating women.

31. Not for me

Not consciously, anyway. It's got to be love. It'd be easy enough to go the other way, and thereby break my celibate streak, but I apparently cannot do it....it's got to be real love.

But I suppose I use the mojo, or whatever, to my advantage in making a living these days. To some extent, I get paid for (a) flirting and otherwise emanating attraction pheromones and (b) trying to look my best (more specifically, trying to look like someone else). I am a professional sex object. :D

That's like a costume, though, as surely as are my work-related outfits. Love is not like that.

36. Not intentionally
Edited on Mon Jun-04-07 11:00 AM by supernova
I suppose I have "wiles," but I'm not conciously aware of them. I have always been frankly taken aback by anyone being interested in me. I'm never sure what I did or didn't do that got his attention. Most of the time I'm just bewildered by the whole process. :shrug:

My dominant OP is to simply be honest and how can we both get what we want. edit: As yet, I haven't found any guy who appreciates that quality.

37. That's amazing to me
I would think most guys (well, most rational guys anyway, and maybe they're in the minority) would want up-front honesty rather than game-playing.





And yes supernova, you have wiles. In abundance. :loveya:

the wrong impression.

I enjoy getting to know people. It's just the initial does he/doesn't he like me (and do I like him?) stage that i find a bit frustrating rather than fun. Which most people seem to. I could be wrong about my perception of that.

42. It has nothing to do with wiles
When a man and woman meet for the first time, she has a fantasy (or fantasies) of what he could be like and the guy has to:

1 - find the fantasy and play to it

2 - not play to an opposing fantasy.

For some women the fantasy is just sex - for some, they want prince charming and the whole white horse...

47. I have no wiles
What's more, I am such a dork I cannot even tell when a woman is using her wiles on me. For instance, playing hard to get never works with me. I cannot tell the difference between a woman playing hard to get and a woman who isn't interested.

So, what I need is a straightforward woman who likes me and says what she thinks. I need someone who doesn't want me to play games or jump through hoops to get her, because I'll never understand the rules and will simply conclude she doesn't like me.

I've got no fucking chance.
