Do you think its wrong to sometimes turn up the charm to get what you want from people?

Deception....not good, wrong

Charm should be outlawed!

I think a little charm can get you pretty far sometimes

If it's done to me, yes. I think that might be why someone owes me at least ten dollars right now, with no sign of giving it back. But I guess it depends on the situation. And how big the deception is. If you hate someone's guts, but you want something from them, I think that's alright. It depends on if you care about the other person.

How is it deception?

No it is not wrong at all

> I think a little charm can get you pretty far sometimes

I do agree with you

No. As long as no one gets hurt. I love charm and if I give in to it, win win.

not something i will usually do but wrong, probably not.

No. If it doesn't hurt anyone, I don't see the harm in it.

I think "be true to thyself" and others. It's using deception to get what you want. I should have asked turn up what kind of charm?

Turning up the charm isn't deception, it's just changing your attitude and behavior to suit the situation. We do that all day, every day. We turn up the 'mean business' serious tone when we need it, and that's not deceptive. We turn up the 'nice' when a situation calls for a more gentle approach. Just the same, charm can get people to be more open to seeing things your way and influence them to your favor.

No, but I can do without those who use that as their main method of operation.

With a good friend wih whom you're only be playful, sure, but to manipulate strangers, no.

Good question.

> Deception....not good, wrong

How ironic. If you feel this way, why has no one yet voted yes?

No, ....I do this all the time, but in such a way that its patently obvious which in a way works too

Nope, not at all. Rather that than beating the crap out of them to get what you want.

I was thinking some people play nice, when in reality they're not, putting on another front than what they really are or intend..

You can catch more flies with honey, than vinegar.

Good question Kristal Rose.

I was thinking of someone who is normally nice, but plays up charm and charisma so people warm up to them faster.

I would think it's only nice, to be charming to another in a social gathering. The question wasn't the connotation I perceived. I perceived it as deception. Sorry.

No. You do what you gotta do.

Nope.

No.

How else are you going to get what you want? By being rude?

I guess it depends on what you want.
