Manipulative Games Women play on Guys
93Have you ever noticed that women can be quite manipulative? They know it and they also know how to perfectly use it on men. They know when to apply the breaks and also when to apply the squeeze. Mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, lovers and mistresses all know how to apply it but I would like to skew most of these manipulative games women play on guys mainly to those that can happen within a romantic relationship. Women have been manipulating men since creation but the good news (for the women) is that the men don’t just care either because they have failed to notice it or simply because they love it when they do!
I don’t know how but somehow I think nature has given the women this “advantage” because as the weaker sex, they are supposed to have some sort of edge over the men.
And what an edge it turns out to be!
A perfect female manipulator is an enigma to behold. She knows how to keep guys on her beck and call at any given point in time. Don’t blame her. She is able to do this so well because she has taken the time to study men and understand men psychology so as to effectively code how they react to different situations.
Guys, just pray to your heavenly Father to always protect you from falling into the hands and lures of a perfect female manipulator because when you do, you might not be able to come out unscarred…
You think you are a strong man? Wait until you encounter her.
In this piece I intend to come to the rescue of men by pointing out to them those little ways in which they could be coming under the antics of under such manipulative attacks even without recognizing it.
The following are some of the ways in which women have been manipulating men since ages…
Praising
All of a sudden, she’s always praising you. In almost everything you do, you get the praise reward. And you know what? Your head starts to swoon and you start thinking you are the greatest guy on earth…
It’s not like praising someone is bad. Not at all. In fact, it is one of the most important ways of showing appreciation and people love to be appreciated i.e. praised!
But you just noticed the praise frequency just got increased…
Hhmm…At such times, that is when I advise any sensible guy to watch out for it because that is usually when she will make that demand which you might NOT be able to turn down…without feeling bad.
She knows it and so should you.
Crying
No one likes to see a crying woman or children…especially a very pretty woman. It really touches the heart because these two groups of people appear to be so weak and defenseless.
Our manipulative woman knows this and she’s more than ready to use it to her advantage once you give her the opportunity.
She knows how emotional you can get. Oh, you think men aren’t emotional? Take it from me; men are, only that they have been socially conditioned into acting and hiding their emotional side.
There’s only one way to stop some beautiful lady from crying especially that lady who really means something to you…the lady who knows the key to your heart.
You give in.
You may not know it but she is smiling inwardly.
Pet naming
Pet names are used to establish fondness and familiarity. Couples are known to pet name themselves into many funny names that only means something to both of them.
For the men, he may be calling his wife her pet name like “honey”, “darlin’” , “Daddy” and many other meaningless stuff of that nature but bottom line, it’s all mechanical to him. Nothing seriously implied nor intended except in the case of…you are supposed to know what I am driving at by now?
But to the woman, it is much more than that. She knows how to put her own pet name for the guy into valuable and rewarding use.
She has mastered how to coo that his pet name in a very gentle and the softest manners. She perfectly knows how to moan it into his ears and all that once the poor fella is standing at an attention and alert like a dog waiting to heed to his master’s calling…
Touching
The power of the human touch should never be underestimated. You can transmit a wide range of varying information to the other person by touching him/her.
Where you touch a woman can only show what you have in your mind and since we all know what many men have in their minds, let us now agree that men are not at liberty to touch women anyhow, most especially in the public where they are supposed to act like MEN.
But women have this natural advantage in that they can touch a man, even in the public, and only the man will know that this touch is very different.
A perfect female manipulator knows how to touch the guy, how long she will allow the touch to last while communicating her intent with her eyes.
And…
The guy will become helplessly at her mercy!
Comparing
When she wants to get things done her way, she may really try this comparing strategy. She won’t directly table her demands rather she will just tell you that her friends or neighbors or some other person she knows that you have gotten that same thing done for them…
And so…?
What, are you that insensitive?! Don’t you get it? She’s telling you that she doesn’t want to be left out!
And you know what?
It works!
It works because, first of all, many people especially men; don’t like to be compared to others. It can make someone boil inside when all your shortcomings are presented before you. You know it is going to be a very bad if other women come out in public and the only odd one out is your woman and it is all because of you. You know it is not a good idea for a man to be known (even by many people who will never get to know him personally) as that very stingy man who could not provide “such a simple thing” for his woman.
What will people say?
In adverse cases, some women are known to have even gone as far as suggesting and even going as far as helping other women to look “elsewhere” for solution/s to their "problems" thereby opening the door for all sorts of extramarital affairs, STDs and in some cases even divorce.
This is a great temptation onto the man and so to prevent all that, he may just have to cave in.
Obedience and submissiveness
The good book needn’t have specified that women should do this. Any woman who wants to get her way with her man knows that this is one of the most effective ways to get the man to bend…to her wishes.
All a man wants is an obedient and submissive woman who will respect and shower him with love. He does not want a boss in the home. Probably, that one in the office is just okay.
When a woman shows obedience to her man, she increases her chance of getting whatever she wants from him through persuasion by tenfold.
Granted some men know how to abuse a woman’s obedience and submissiveness but that will surely be another subject for another hub some other time so when we come to that bridge, we will cross it…it’s a promise!
Avoiding
She may start getting you to notice her by way of avoiding you. You will notice that there is an inexplicable distance between the two of you and you will start to wonder what is it you are NOT doing right anymore.
She knows what you are going through and that’s exactly how she wants you to feel.
Normally, most people only value something only when they are about loosing it. So by presenting herself in that manner, she is sending you the warning that you are about to loose her.
And if she happens to be your “one in a million”, then you are in real trouble which can even lead to serious emotional breakdown.
But playing the type of card in manipulating men is often the most dangerous. This is because men being highly visual, can easily loose attention because of the several distractions that they experience in the form of other women. He may just decide to avoid you too because he is incapable of handling the extra emotional burden that you have suddenly become. Worse still, he might stumble upon someone better than you in the process and I believe you know what signifies…?
In the end, instead of getting him to come your way; you achieve the opposite by chasing him away…who knows, maybe for good!
But that is not the problem of a perfect “mistress” of the game. She knows when to stop. She knows when and how to signal to the man that it was nothing but just “fronting”. She knows how to apologize without even saying the words and most importantly she knows how to use this new war front strategy of giving up to her advantage which will invariably make the man ‘feel” powerful but this will even make it easier for her to get him to acquiesce to her demands!
A perfect woman manipulator? Fear her!
Nagging and bombarding
Many a time, many men complain that their wives or women are always nagging them. I know it could be terrible disturbance for the man to bear and most times the only way to get her to stop is by consenting to her verbal barrage.
Another form of nagging could come in the bombarding of the man’s life in whatever way she can. This bombarding could also come in the form of constant phone calls, text messages and emails.
She may keep on doing it until the man will have no choice than to understand that she can be quite a pest, if you like.
In case you don’t know, nagging could be a weapon of obtaining what you want because the man is more than tired of hearing the same complaints, the same demands, the same old story…
But women also know that nagging could also invite a lot of trouble for them. It could also be one sure fire way of getting the man to commit wife bashing and battery!
Seduction
This is one thing every woman knows how to do and they have all the tools at their disposal to make things go their way – almost all the time.
The greatest weapon at their disposal is of course, their luscious bodies.
Just by revealing some flesh here and there or by smooching the man heavily could make many men with red blood running through their veins loose total control, especially if the man has a history of lack of self-control.
There is a way she might give you that promising “under the eyelashes” look and you get the lust filled and tempting messages at once without you needing anybody to help you in figuring things out.
Women are able to succeed in this so well because they know that nature has ‘cursed’ men with one severe “affliction” – insatiable desire for sex!
And seduction is usually the forerunner to sex.
So as long as the man believes he is going to get his fix at the end of the day, he might not care that much to whatever the woman is suggesting no matter how absurd it might appear to him at some other time.
But for now, his whole body, mind and soul are united and focused on one thing alone.
Ride on baby, your wish is my command!
And then the sex…
This is the ultimate. Any woman who knows her way around this interesting topic will always know how to rein any man in.
This is simply because even if the man does not like you, he won’t be in such a haste to throw away the baby with the water. He will always want that girl who knows how to give it to him and that means…
He will always come back, most likely…
Which means the lady can always get a second chance to manipulate and subtly table her request repeatedly until it is done!
Last Word
If you are a lady reading this and you think you have been found out, listen to me, you have no reason to panic.
Why?
Remember like I earlier said, most men don’t even know it when you are doing it to them but even if they know, they don’t just give a damn…
And that’s usually because he knows that his reward for giving in to your antics could be great in…da bed!

Pathetic... Grow a pair... Like men never manipulate!
So you think all women are manipulated or just the ones you've been with?
Ha! Ha! We have been found out! Honestly, I try to not be manipulative but I have noticed the extraordinary power I carry in a relationship. It really shocked me to discover this. I was in a horrifically abusive relationship for years. In that event the positive powers of this woman were of no avail. Oh my!It was rough going. I have been shocked to discover that in a more even relationship I have all manner of power. As I said, I do my best to not use my power for evil. i think it is deliciously delightful when men and women each use the power they have in sweet ways. Thank you for your writing. I hope you find a good woman who uses her power with a twinkle in her eye.
As a woman I do want to give voice to those of us who do not intentionally do most of these things you mention in the article. Have I in the past, Hell yes. Do I currently or have I in the past half dozen years, Hell NO. Once I realized what it was that I was doing and the intention behind it I changed. Thus I don't date much since I don't manipulate men and I may be disappointing to them. Not sure. Many don't like my honesty these days and believe I am too strongly opinionated and forthright. I don't tap dance around a subject and agree to get along.
Does this make me less desirable, Not to my knowledge. Yet I have heard from many just of late that I am: too pretty, to passionate, to driven, to strong willed, to high energy and lastly too thirsty for knowledge.
I myself like all these qualities and don't see a problem with any of them. The fact that I am honest, make decisions, and have my own thought should intrigue the male population but alas it seems they feel threatened. Maybe you can do a poll and write a hub about that so I can read and learn from that one.
Thanks for an entertaining read.
I know and identify womens manipulative technique
and more men are wise to them.
Manipulative people are dishonest. some men manipulate too
"Love" and "romance " are a racket - a con game.
Once a man knows this he is immune from manipulation.
Dont take my word for it. Read all the "Men dont get married!" articles on the net. One horror story after another. I defy any man reading them not to have his mind blown! You wont date ever again - if you do read them.You will learn to face reality, the road to freedom opens up. "MGTOW"

I liked this hub it was funny, and interesting as well as hitting many of the points that men pretty much fear that woman are using to lure them back in like a hook to a fish.
Your take on the woman's techniques is pretty cool, I dig your thought process, but especially like your writing style even more. Awesome job, and was just wondering why there's no images.
Anyhow your a great writer, and thanks for sharing this cool hub on the woman's possessive power, even if its annoying at times I love how my wife play such games, LOL.
