Do you tell her what she wants to hear?

[ChangePages]

I don't know if this is a dark triad strategy or a common strategy of deceit or interest but does telling her what she wants to hear always a good thing?

no

Absolutely. How do you think Trump got elected - by telling people the truth? He played to their emotions, their fears, manipulated their feelings. He is a master as it. One of the ways he got rich too.

Girls are the same. Play to their emotions. Manipulate, manipulate, manipulate. They don't care what's right or what's good for them. They care about your use and their feelings.

You can do this, but do it cautiously. Here are two major rules for it:

1) Don't tell her what she wants to hear if it compromises your morals, your self-esteem, or your resources.
2) Tell her what she wants to hear, but NEVER tell her when she expects it.
