    There are books about how to manipulate women. I read one of those and felt sick. No normal man can write stuff like that, publish it, and feel good about himself. Jesus.

      I personally manipulate my wife into loving me by being a responsible husband and loving father.

      Am I doing it right?

        It’s by design. I know it sounds a bit lame, but it’s obvious the west is not spending money on creating healthy kids and adults.
