I can honestly say I have not been a manipulating lady in my life. I have seen these things done or heard others talk about them and thought they were underhanded ways of getting out of discussion with their special man. Most loved ones will do things if some good reason is given. TX for the openness here and well composed too.

WTF man, what are you talking about?
I have always been in relationships where I was manipulated. I know a man who says openly that he is manipulating me. I always say what I think and dont care, it took me ages to learn how to stand up for myself.
And now when I do what I please and dont let anyone cross the line, now I am not feminine enough, because I dont play the game.
Please, is there anyone intelligent to express her/his opinion?

I agree with Matt on this topic. Men are greatly mistaken if they think women are the only ones that manipulate. I see my bratty SEVEN yr old cousin manipulate his mom into buying him a new toy all the time. I can say that I’ve seen my boyfriend try to manipulate me before as well…I don’t think it’s fair to say just women do it. And sometimes, women do it for the own good of their man. I’ve convince my boyfriend to not hang out with his friends the other night just cause he has a lot to study for this week (and no, he didn’t hang out with me). The next day he thanked me cause he got a 100 on his quiz. Isn’t that manipulation? I want my boyfriend to be successful cause I love him. So manipulation isn’t always bad. And all the men above that posted things like “women are stupid” are just as foolish themselves because they manipulate just as much as we do.

Everyone manipulates. Children manipulate parents, parents manipulate children, partners manipulate each other, employees manipulat employers, employers manipulate employees. It’s the way life is programmed. The reason we manipulate is because we know we truly have no control over another being, and manipulation is a way to influence.

Women manipulate men, and men manipulate women. I can speak for myself, and hopefully many other men: mature men know when women are playing the seduction or head games, and at least I enjoy it, and let them play . . . it is fun. As I have learned to decode their many of their manipulation behaviours (or at least that’s what I have experienced), I have fun with it, letting them think they are in control. When I see younger inexperienced guys hanging with their tongues hanging out, I chuckle, because they will reflect back and see how they were played. Women are significantly more adept than men in mind games, and no matter what coaching men take, we will never reach the emotional intelligence of women.

ShellyTex,

I do not think that ALL women manipulate, there are just a lot of women who do.
Some women don’t even realize when they are doing it (men too) because it’s just something they do.

You may not be manipulating your husband but the way you talk to him makes it sound like you are so maybe you should try a different approach.

If your husband is having an affair ***again*** that is grounds to leave him! I would!! I have some advice about the situation but I won’t go into it here. If you would like to e-mail me you can,

Just put who you are in the subject so I don’t delete it.

Thanks for reading my article!

I agree with fornis and shelly. my husband and i are going to a marriage counselor and he has told me for quite sometime that i manipulate him with the past and with his personality. I’m not sure i even know how to do that. I don’t play mind games. I don’t play with people’s heads and emotions like that. I am very direct. I have simply told him how i feel and what I’m going through. I have brought up the past during certain arguements but only to let him know i still don’t trust him or i am still hurt but not to use it against him to get my way. I had no other agenda in mind. I think all of this is bolony and just another excuse for him to conjure up to make himself feel justified in what he is doing which is having an affair again.

Nighthawk...

I would say that that would fit right into the sex category...women do use those types of manipulation and although it may be more out there, this type men don't seem to mind...in fact they like it!
so it may not be a bad game to play when using that type of manipulation...if that helps...

this article is mostly on the ways women manipulate unsuspecting men...I wanted to let men know so that the manipulation can stop...I hope this answers your question...if not let me know...

Thanks for your interest!!

My appologies to Alaina Ellington-I forgot I had posted here and I’m just now getting back to you. When you were describing how women manipulate men I immediately thought of Lady Misato. I came across her website a couple of years ago on my way to other things and frankly I was stunned at some of the things she said. I initially took her site to be a typical fetish site with people going through the motions but the more I read what she described the more I was struck by how RIGHT she was about some men. The notion that some men could be manipulated into doing things for sex by appealing to their need to compete or accomplish things-i.e. to earn the right for release-sounded a bit like earning a paycheck for hard work or the result of doing some sort of task in a video game. I was curious to know what you thought of this sort of manipulation and where you thought it might fit into your list.

As simple as this all sounds, i still have great difficulty getting my man sweet…or doing what i want without hard pursuasion… i can never do mindgames but i think i have to start doing some kind of manipulation cos he is quite hard to control hence him being an arab, but within that cultral dominance there is a soft side and i need to start working on how to use that so he can start being less dominante. i think my problem is im too direct i need to start letting him feel he is in control. I need advice
