I hate manipulation.
This is a bit of a blanket comment. We manipulate people all the time. The question is; are your intentions good or not? Take a parent pretending that spoon full of food is a aeroplane so a child will eat it. They are in theory manipulating the child into eating the food, but their intentions are in the child best interest.
The world of dating is a bit like this, women want to be seduced, women enjoy sex. Convention dictates that they can not be open about this, plus need to test men to see their worth. Do you believe you are screwing these women over? That you are some kind of creepy manipulator against their best interest? If so you probably have some self worth issue to work through.
