Are women master manipulators in relationships?
So, tell me —
Are women master manipulators in relationships?
Curious thought, I must say.
I was talking to a co-worker of mine about this quote I shared when she told me that it’s true. She does believe that women, by nature, have the ability to manipulate a situation to turn in their favour. I have to admit, to hear a married woman say that, surprised me. Then I’m caused to ponder on the thought some more and I realised that I, too, was guilty of being a “manipulator” at some point in my past relationship — the bitchy kind at that. Heehee.
I’m not particularly proud of that and I did try to make amends for it. Believe me, boy, did I pay for it. LOL. Well, anyway, it’s a good thing I got to think about this theory. However, I can’t help but wonder if it applies to ALL women.
From what I’ve observed with women, some have the knack for “smooth talk” and/or has her way with twisting semantics. Some may call it a subtle way of training the man to think he’s thinking for himself but in reality it’s the woman feeding him the idea. Personally, I reckon that these women have tapped into the power of persuasion. Most politicians and successful businessmen have it.
When viewed in relationships, however, it seems unethical and detestable. You might be right, especially when this so-called power is used for selfish interests and eventually leaving their partners badly scarred. Come to think of it, it’s somewhat abusive.
I’m sure there’s some sort of balance being practiced in most relationships. Uh, right..? But what I’d really like to know is how do women feel about being stereotyped as a manipulator. And for the guys, I’m sure you have a thing or two to say about this matter like how you feel about the women who are and your experiences about being, er, a “victim”.
Discuss.
