"and agree that we all do things that may feel wrong, but we know will lead to a better outcome for our situations."
I don't think you are quite getting it. You don't necessarily have to do something just to get a desired outcome. You have to be comfortable with that action as well. If you're not, then your reactions will be fake.
"What if I told you that, all else equal, wearing red will make you a more attractive person? Would you wear red more often?"
No. I would wear it if it pleased me. Not if it pleased someone else. If your sole purposes was to hook up with someone, then of course you would wear red. But eventually you will have to change clothes and you're right back to being the same person you always were before you put on red.
"Or would you not feel right about manipulating others through wearing a particular color?"
Again it doesn't make sense. Even if you were to wear red, the other person has a CHOICE to be attracted or not. If everything were as simple as you make it out to be, then ever AXE and female perfume commercial would be true. That wearing a certain scent, or clothes, or doing something will make the other sex instantly attracted to you.
Of course none of that works.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
