Is "Snooping" Bad?

[Quicksilver264]

On the "con" side, all I can come up with is:

1. If you don't control your emotions, you may not be able to handle it.

I will second this to an absolute T. If you have the ability to get outstanding intel, then you are going to most definitely see things that you just might not believe.

There is going to be a point where your stomach drops so low and hard, you think you really will throw up right there.

Depending on just how good of an intel job you have going, you may be able to actually see things in real time on a home computer on a network. You are not going to like it as you watch a Facebook chat turn to a sex chat and talking about how to setup webcams.

But having outstanding intel is absolutely KEY. Knowing why they are going to MC, what they are REALLY saying to friends, what they REALLY are thinking, just makes it ALOT easier.

When you know what is going on with them, you can use some of their own words in a rephrased manner ect.

Probably the BEST thing is to be able to play the "poker" game. Where YOU KNOW THEIR HAND, but they don't know yours. You know where limits are and what truth is. This can absolutely blow their mind, and let you do things that you otherwise wouldn't. Having that depth of CONFIDENCE is so powerful. It is just like knowing the opposing football team's signals.

Another absolute perk is that when something naughty or that you don't like is about to start, you can throw a whole bucket of wrenches in the works. Nothing like sending a computer reboot command or blocking ALL network access when she is about to try and start something. Or you can find something to talk to them about to absolutely kill the mood.

Or when you go out for a night on the town, set your router to block ALL NETWORK traffic and tell them "The internet is down, I called (your provider) and they will send someone out tomorrow". Then they have to sit home with no real way to contact while you are out having lots of fun. Then you get home just a littler later than usual with a really pleasant smile and ask "Hey did the internet ever get working again? I need to send an email".

But you need guts like steel. And you will need alone time to cry, shout, and let all that emotion out while they are not there. You may have good intel, but you will pay an emotional price for it.
