“Research on persuasion shows the more arguments you list in favor of something, regardless of the quality of those arguments, the more that people tend to believe it,” Norton says. “Mainstream ads sometimes use long lists of bullet points—people don’t read them, but it’s persuasive to know there are so many reasons to buy.” OK, but if more is better, then why only one trick? “People want a simple solution that has a ton of support.”
This is disturbing to me, especially as someone who spends a lot of his time writing arguments for things.

"So now, you're a challenge for her..." Christian told me, "and women LOVE a challenge."
"That makes a lot of sense," I said, furiously taking notes on my iPhone.

As Jeff and I were dissecting the situation I heard a voice behind me.
"Hey bud, I overheard what you're talking about... I've been in the same situation, and I've got an easy way to turn it around with her."
Jeff and I looked at each other. I was intrigued...
"What'd you say your name was?" I asked.
He shook my hand warmly. "I'm Christian" he said

Yeah I like the pulp narrative techniques this post uses. A bit more craft involved than most clickbait garbage

I'm pretty normcore, does anyone have a simple trick for me that isn't weird?

in case yr wondering what christian's simple trick is i watched the video and it's answering the front door barefoot w half a glass of wine claiming you're "finishing an email"
― difficult listening hour, Monday, 5 December 2016 03:09 (seven years ago) link
Classic. Foxy delivery people HATE that they find that simple trick irresistible.

Oh wow that actually wasn't a joke.
― Treeship, Monday, 5 December 2016 03:44 (seven years ago) link
i liked the way it was a kind of subtle return to/inversion of christian's primal scene w the flower delivery guy and the shirtless man and "christine" (hmm)

this fuckin' guy doesn't know that it's 'fifty shades of grey' not 'gray' what a dumdum
also i assume the fuck-guru guy is called 'christian' in a weak attempt at a neurolinguistic programming trick to subconsciously make the reader strengthen the '50 shades' association. you too can be a creepy abusive shitbag who women find irresistible, just like the dead-eyed billionaire hero of these books women allegedly love!

So at the end there's this guy with his supposed gf, who ofcourse is totally down dating someone who used this "technique" on her right?
'How did you guys get together?''Well mum, Christian has a girlfriend activation system, he manipulated me and it worked like mad. Isn't he sweet?!'
Loosely based on Marx: I wouldn't want to be with someone for whom this "technique" actually works and is fine with it afterwards.

Why? All he did was activate her obsession story. It's empirical science bro, check the animation of a strand of female dna

Tease her and tell her that you always thought that she was like one of those vegetables that reproduce asexually... like a lima bean. This will make her laugh!
okay so, this did not make her laugh. how do I get my money back?

"Tell you what..." he said. "I'll give you one little tip to try on her. And if it works, then all I ask is that you come to the seminar this weekend, and teach it to the guys there. They'll like hearing it from someone who had success with it."I didn't have anything to lose so I said sure. While our orders were being made we grabbed a table near the door."Okay first things first," he said. "Have you ever heard of Literotica?

Pretty hilarious when you overhear someone come a cropper with it. Was on the bus a few months ago, a couple of 18-19 year olds, boy was hitting pretty hard on this girl. Girl mentions in passing that she fucked up her art a-level by losing her portfolio on a bus, and having to bodge together stuff at the last minute. Boy's response- 'ha ha, you're such an idiot! You're *so* scatty, ha ha' did not, let us say, improve his standing.
