Manipulations That Are Not Spoken About

Everyone says they want honesty. But the truth is, relationships are built on subtle forms of manipulation.
A woman smiles not because she's happy, but to test her reaction. A man remains silent—not because he doesn't know what to say, but to make her guess.
This isn't a lie; it's the language of power. And whoever knows how to speak it controls.
The problem is that playing games can become a habit. Then feelings cease to be free.
Men often think they're leading. But real manipulation is when a woman doesn't force him, but creates conditions in which a man does what she wants. And even thanks him for it.
