Placebo manipulation

Relationship tip:

  1. Write on your weblog that you are going to find a way to manipulate your partner without them noticing.

  2. Make sure they read it.
  3. Sit back and enjoy.

You don’t have to do anything. It’s better than hypnosis. They’ll think they’re being manipulated into being nice to you and anticipating your wishes, and suddenly will be nice and anticipate your wishes.

Until you blow it by writing something else about placebo manipulation, that is.

    No, no, no.
    Alpha gets my humor. She knows when I’m kidding. That’s one of the benefits of being together more than twenty years.
    Over half our lives!
    Jesus.

    Well, it can’t be as bad as the trouble I got in over the “how to win at the marriage counsellor” post I made.

    Been there, done that. Works well in bed too.

    “Why are you smirking?”
    No reason
    “No, you’re smirking, I know you, you’re going to wait until I close my eyes and do something nasty”
    I wouldn’t do that
    “Yes you would”
    I promise not to
    “You’re just lulling me into a false sense of security and when I let my guard down you’re going to pounce”
    You may think that, I couldn’t possibly comment.

    Then I get to sleep and she stays awake cause my real sleeping sounds exactly like my fake sleeping.
