Sweet lullabies to rock a chump to a comfy, thumb sucking sleep.

[AgentofChaos]

Some women love to play a fool for the love-starved fool he is.

Call him baby, sweetie, honey, darling, you're the best, you have the biggest diick, and all that jazz

Is there an ulterior motive to the sweet talk?

How do you handle getting your head gassed up? Brag about it to your bros? Thump your chest? Get paranoid and go into shiit test passing neurotics? Or see through the manipulation and play it cool?

I usually reciprocate compliments like that. Some of what you mentioned as examples are not to be taken literally, like being the best or having the biggest d!ck because we all know the former can change and the latter is just not true. They're meant as compliments, a show of affection.

But I guess there's tons of guys out there eager to sabotage themselves with their cynicism or are so dumb they let it inflate their egos. I don't see it as manipulation by default, I can easily determine whether or not they have motives beyond simply showing affection. If they do then I'll tell them my observation, if they deny it then they've moved on to lying which again I easily detect and that's the point I turn around to walk away. Mostly I'm just cool with it though and happily reciprocate.

Always stay sharp, observe and listen carefully. Take appropriate action with the information collected. Manipulation and lies by use of compliments aren't hard at all to detect, but if you accuse someone of it when they genuinely did not do it then you've fvcked up.

Act on information, not assumptions.

I was hoping this thread would have relaxing songs to help me fall asleep. I'm disappointed.
