According to research, men do not resort to manipulation as often as women. However, they love to do it and are good at it. It's time to find out what methods of manipulation most men choose.
To get a star from the sky
If a man promises a lot, and these promises are very bright and ambitious, most likely he is lying. He wants to impress a woman, drag her into bed or get something else from her. Psychologists advise to remember that men who talk and promise a lot, but do little, manipulate you. Loud promises kill a woman's vigilance.
Quick declarations of love
The acquaintance took place a couple of days ago, and he is already saying “I love you”, thinking up names for future children, planning a wedding. As in the previous case, the man wants to use such actions to quickly win over the woman, to get what he needs from her, and then run away. It often happens that men say “I love you” in long-term relationships only when they need something.
Evoking feelings of pity
There are men who are very clever and skillful in causing a woman to feel pity. If a woman has a highly developed maternal instinct, she will definitely want to feel sorry for her man, to take him under her wing. This is what the manipulator is counting on. Today he is a "poor boy", and tomorrow he is already sitting on your neck, dangling his legs.
Lowered self-esteem
“You’ll be lost without me,” “what can you possibly do without me?” With these words, a man is deliberately trying to lower a woman’s self-esteem in order to increase his importance in her eyes. If a man constantly resorts to such arguments, it’s worth showing him the door.
Too much worry
This type of manipulation is mainly used by men with high incomes. They tell a woman that she has no place at work, and thereby try to lock her other half at home, limit her movements. They want the woman to depend on them. If a man indicates what needs to be done, but does not listen to the woman and her desires, he is a clear manipulator.
