Relationships without manipulation are impossible, no matter how much you would like to avoid it.
Why not remember a few manipulations from men that they often use in relationships?
Women should definitely know the most popular techniques.
How to gain attention
Many men have a unique ability to win the attention of their partners.
This can be expressed in the ability to emphasize one’s merits, to be sensual or generous with compliments and attention.
Using this, they can skillfully manipulate the emotions and attitudes of their partners.
Creating a dependency
Manipulation often begins with creating a dependency on the man. He may present himself as an irreplaceable source of support, confidence or happiness. This may take the form of:
- financial support;
- emotional support;
- physical protection.
As a result, his partner may begin to feel dependent on him, which makes him more powerful in the relationship.
Manipulative communication
Men can use their communication skills to manipulate in relationships. This can manifest itself in persuasion, information management, or even deception.
They may suppress their partner's opinions, ignore their feelings, or even threaten to end the relationship in order to achieve their goals.
Playing on feelings
Men may use their partner's feelings as a tool of manipulation. This may include using guilt, fear, or even jealousy to control or manipulate their partner's behavior.
They may amplify their partner's emotions to get a desired reaction or behavior.
Changing roles and expectations
Sometimes men can manipulate in relationships by changing roles or expectations.
For example, they may play the victim to elicit sympathy or guilt from their partner. Or they may create unrealistic expectations so that their partner will try to please them and gain their approval.
