(Corri) Just don't hold 'the puppy needs defending' up as the reason for distance. OTOH... it's a great way to get female attention.
Can you continue to deny THE GENIUS?!?
It can be compared to the same genius a woman might display if she were to artfully say... "Just so you know... I'm NOT sleeping with you."
Manipulation has its place... especially if one is aware of it. I like a lot of what Mama Gena writes, but I also see her as especially manipulative... for she uses her knowledge of men to get what she wants.
Do 'what works,' eh Burg?
Now... at least as a High Priced Call Girl... I'm being honest. I can 'manipulate' to play the game... but at the end of the day... I'm just a Call Girl.
