Essentially the same thing. It is always about having her believe the benefits for doing what you want are greater than the benefits for not. Now I realize that you are talking about love, or emotions in the vein, however I side with Machiavelli when it comes to whether it is better to be loved or 'feared' (he doesn't use 'fear' the way we do) as a ruler.

bravo!

Goodness...
Very interesting indeed....

You are not the first I have seen to take offense with words bandied about in reference to BDSM - nor, I imagine, will you be the last.

Every topic of interest in the world has words associated with it. While these words might grate, they are the terminology associated with this thing that we do. If these words are taken away then other words - meaning the same or similar things - will take their place.

You have given readers some things to ponder - maybe not the elimination of such terms, but perhaps more in depth consideration of their usage.

Nicely said, sir.

I like the 80/20 rule, seems to apply everywhere...80% of the bugs are coming from 20% of your software...20% of your issues are causing 80% of your headache...and yes do keep that 20% of your customers happy if you want to keep your bottom-line healthy

Personally, I think trust your instinct goes a long way. Human brains are not wired to process complex rules with multiple factors; we can rarely see three steps ahead most of the time. This is what computers are for and yet computers can never replace human because they do not have that knee jerk reaction that we human posses. Artificial Intelligence has been around for more than 40 years, but we are yet to find a functional robot. I think it’s because the logical conclusion we often reach may not be that logical after all.

I like your suggestions. Most people make a judgement call within the first three minutes of meeting each other. What’s the logic behind that? I doubt anyone can articulate explicitly. But we all know that we are right most of the time.

Thanks for sharing with us. Very interesting topic.
