People who play dumb, victim, and helpless to manipulate their way into whatever they want (including your money).

Now. There are a ton of people who are more than willing to play dumb, victim, and act helpless in order to manipulate others to give them whatever they want. (Woke.) They may not be smart, but you know they’re smarter than that; they may be a victim, but you know they’re not as much of a victim as they play it out to be, and they may be helpless but not to the measure of their pretense.

You cannot be too much of a sucker for this, even for their own good. They often want something that isn’t even good for them but want it simply because getting something that isn’t readily given to them seems like the only thing worth having. “I wouldn’t want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member” is the idea that stems from such self-loathing that anyone who is akin to them must be a p.o.s. in their view.

Flatter a group they’re already a member of.

If they are a nuisance to you, and you can, you may try to flatter them (with truths) about the groups that they are genuinely a part of. A man wishing to transition into a woman because women would never accept him as a member could be perhaps swayed by flattering men in his presence, for instance. Not to flatter him directly, but all the flattering features that are masculine, maybe even make “men” seem like a group he might never be good enough for no matter how much he tried.

(However, sometimes, unfortunately, the reason why people want to transition is the opposite. They fear they’re not good enough for their own gender and don’t feel welcome into it. Then, this strategy would backfire horribly, so make sure you know if either end of this spectrum is in question here.)

Strategies of manipulation.

Nobody is a stranger to these strategies, I’m sure, but here they are.

Playing dumb.

Apparently, stereotypically, Gen Z is a master of this strategy. I rarely link videos but this time, this example is too perfect to miss.

They snip words or phrases out of context and hear what they wish to hear. Further, they could drop if’s and maybe’s and just go with the main phrase “You can have this if…” forget about the if, the only thing they hear is “you can have this.” They cut corners wherever they can – and they find a lot of corners to cut.

Playing the victim.

This strategy also goes to Gen Z, no examples needed I’m afraid. Having said that, Gen X women also made an awesome example of this with their #MeToo campaigns. They were accusing men of all sorts of things with hugely exaggerated examples just for clout and attention. (Not one story I read was in any way harassment, let alone a rape. Some maybe MILDLY inappropriate at times, but not in one case that I’ve come across without looking, did she actually state, express, or smoke signal ‘no’ at the guy. OK, one of them said a feeble “we shouldn’t” but “we shouldn’t” kind of includes “I want to, but fear what others might say.” After teasing the guy for months, he’d be excused to think she was playing a game. Maybe she was, and the #meToo was a part of that same game.)

When society gets too soft, and sensible people are too willing to take the experience of any person for face value, stuff like this happens. And yes. I’ve used the same strategy too, up to a point, BECAUSE I CAN. You don’t need to let it happen, but currently, it’s easy as wink to do.

Acting helpless.

The least common thing to pretend to be is helpless, but that doesn’t mean it’s uncommon. The perquisite to acting helpless is wanting that person into your life and to BE in your life. They’ll have to act like they cannot handle their own life, therefore, someone else has to step in and put diapers on them, basically. That requires an actual wish to allow that person into their life and close to them. This doesn’t often suit someone who wants to keep their life to themselves without responsibilities in it.

“I have nowhere else to go”.

Oh yes and obviously you’re the only friend they’ve got. (I wonder why.) (Unless their parents are confirmed crack heads or live out of the state, and you’re already thinking of spending cupious amounts of money on them, you’re taking them back to their parents. Even if their parents are nice, this should usually straighten any adult up pretty fast. Alternatively, a homeless shelter will do for an address. They might suddenly be reminded of someone they can go to.)

Pretending to be broke and in trouble.

Last but not least, a favorite gold digger strategy is to pretend to be broke and have a huge bill or two to pay. “Oh, I just can’t pay my rent. It’s 50 000 a month and I just…!” *enter waterworks* Men would be wise to know that the fact that a woman doesn’t ASK YOU for money doesn’t mean she’s not fully playing you to give it. Whenever a woman mentions lack of money in any context than absolute must reveal, they’re playing you to give it to her. (Try not to push things toward a need to tell you she’s broke. See how long before she tells you.)

A situation where she might mention it is when you ask her on a date that she needs a dress or some special gear for (skiing or something) for and she simply doesn’t have it or money to buy it, and you maybe wealthier assuming everyone has such things, she might need to say no can do because you know… Broke. But typically, people, women included, are not too happy telling people about their lack of means because it’s embarrassing and it is very gold diggy to make any mention of such limitations and it makes normal women uncomfortable to have to express real needs when they know this is the #1 gold digging strategy in the world.

If you feel like you’d be the winner here…

I suppose if you feel like you’d be the winner if you allow yourself to be suckered into this thing knowing full well you’re being played, you can try of course, but you know… Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. Sex is probably not going to happen lest it hasn’t already. I’m going to be horrible and say don’t pay for anything, give anything unless she’s putting out. Otherwise, it’s a 100% scam or one of these women who believe ultimate love is without a sexual connection anyway, so sex is not going to happen anyway. In my view, you cannot have a sexual relationship with someone who you can’t have sex with, so at least consider yourself single while sex isn’t happening.

Adult babies.

When people take these strategies to the extreme, they turn into adult babies who cannot do anything for themselves correctly. They’ll act fully dependent on others at least for as long as they are allowed to act that way.
