How good are you at persuading people to do what you would like them to do?

05.08.2009, 08:14 PM

Especially if they happen to be a good judge of character.

Savage Clone · 05.08.2009, 08:16 PM

Depends on whether I have my gun that shoots knives pointed at them or not

terriblecanyons · 05.08.2009, 08:17 PM

Depends on how much date rape drug I slipped into their drink.

Better_Than_You · 05.08.2009, 08:17 PM

i'm the youngest child in my family.. and i'm a fairly pretty girl...

so basically..

i dont take no for an answer and i wouldn't have to even if i did.

it may sound conceited, but i consider myself modest enough not to take advantage of it and turn into a spoiled, rotten brat.

i have met my matches in my day though.

I am a world class liar, but most of the time i dont want to lie which is partly why i didnt get my old job back this summer. Bloody conscience.

I can understand that perfectly. I behave like that too occasionally because I'm the youngest.

I have an amazing life. The sonic youth can appreciate once upon a time. I'm the happiest ever. The youth have been where i am...

What's wrong diesel? You seem agitated.

Diesel · 05.08.2009, 09:12 PM

I'm ok. agitated ay as always. looking for sumit

floatingslowly · 05.08.2009, 09:33 PM

I used to be unnaturally good at it. however, I no longer use my powers for evil.

The simple way to counter-act you is to act stupid. Of course acting stupid only goes so far.

amerikangod · 05.08.2009, 09:52 PM

I'll tell them that they don't have to suck on it and that they can just 'kiss around it.' 19 times out of 20 it ends in a BJ anyway.

In sum, sometimes people just need to be herded a bit.

By my shepherd's staff.

pbradley · 05.08.2009, 09:52 PM

Never really could persuade my parents as a kid but then I was able to exploit my grandparents to a point that the guilt still haunts me. So I do less persuading than just voicing my desires.

demonrail666 · 05.08.2009, 09:57 PM

I use my general likeability to the point where people will tend to do things for me because i'm too nice for them not to.

You'd be amazed at how well it's worked over the years. People feel bad if they don't do what I ask of them. Often using the logic (wrong though it is) that I'd do the same for them.

Dead-Air · 05.08.2009, 10:24 PM

I've been a highly successful control freak and am currently trying to get over it.

Glice · 05.09.2009, 07:12 AM

I'm absolutely useless at getting people to do anything. I'm a singularly unconvincing person in that regard. I have a hard time getting people to make me a cup of tea (milk, 2 sugars). Which is at odds with (or possibly a result of) the fact that I'm a good arguer (regardless of whether I'm right).

Glice · 05.09.2009, 07:13 AM

That doesn't relate to sex, which an entirely different mode of concession.

gmku · 05.09.2009, 07:19 AM

This thread is prickery.

This Is Not Here · 05.09.2009, 07:37 AM

Very, very good. And it's becoming a bit of a problem.
