Manipulation

Here are some techniques to manipulate people. If you're an analysing kind of guy you'd like to see how C&f fits in here.

Conditioning by association:
ie. How many fingers does one man have on his hands? how many on ten hands?

Give them an example of something simple that is perfectly logical, and then you can hint them to a generalization of that simple thing that may actually be more complex, and possibly not true. It's all actually a lot like a play on words. On top you might have answered 10, 100. Re-read the question and think about it if you did. (You still can be manipulated if you didn't say that :P)

Reciprocity:
This is a big one which is used in several techniques describes inside this blog.
If someone does you a favour, however small once an attachement is created, you will feel you have to pay them back.

ie. Someone proposes you nicely a sample for free, you will feel like you should by the box.

This is something you learn early on: Always return favors or you will be disliked. Of course it's easier to refuse simpler favors bud depending on the WAY it is exposed to us, we will be more or less tempted to accept/pay em back.
Other examples:
"Let me help you with your bag..."
"I dedicated my life to you..."

People respond to conditioning. Just know what social habits are learned early on, you can play with them.

Seduction note:
A good use for the second technique is for example when you get unacceptable social behavior from a chick. One thing you can do, is be absurdly obvious and let her know that Your mother taught you as a child NOT to behave like that, ie. instant rejection from the chick, you can say as part of your social ettiquette, your mom taught you to answer when asked a question nicely. They will have such an emotional surge of REMORSE, that they will be begging for your attention back. Said in a Natural way, it ALWAYS works.
Break;

Another technique, to get her attention for example, is to ask a totally irrelevant non-seduction related question. But then of course to make the jump to seduction talk you must have material ready, getting her attention though is already pretty big. This is just a dismantling of perfectly normal/well known social skills/habits.
ie. Hey, short pause, You have the time?
Hey, short pause, You have a cigarette?

the pause gives her a bit more time to feel attachement especially if done with eye contact, she will feel a sort of stress level going up as you ask.

Alright so those are the "Automatic" manipulation techniques.
More soon.
