mind over matter ?

[2nd row]

Are you all alone right now ? just sort of staring into space ? day dreaming ? thinking ? seems as though a million things are going through your mind, is your mind another word for your brain ? we' ve all heard that saying " Stop playing mind games with me ", and in some countries, playing/controlling your mind was/is some form of torture, confessing, signing to any paper put in front of you, is it our minds via the adverts,tv, whatever that has brain washed us into buying their product ? can you control your mind ?  other peoples ? make anyone do something which they aren't aware of ? most women do it regulary, start crying, few tears, and us men are like putty in their hands, outside, up that ladder,painting the house, or whatever ! give me all your best ones please, mind games or control, read once that if you sat at the table long enough, just staring and concentrating on the glass, you will make it move ! fellas, perhaps thats why the misses is looking straight at you right now !!! can you read his/her mind ? are you that one step ahead 'cos you know what they're thinking ? are there battles because you know each other ( their mind, their way of thinking ) so well ? but then, will us men EVER really know what makes a woman tick ? answers please .

[Frankie Babe]

Actually 2nd row, I just made you type all that

[unnamed]

Lol frankie!

[2nd row]

   no frankiebabe, I KNEW you were going to ask the same question, !

[el duerino]

I am the puppet master

[2nd row]

 apart from those strings el duerino, what else do you pull ??,,,,,, was going to add the word DUMMY ! but i wont !       male or female ? ... and now that the summer season is over, i guess youre out of work ?

[smudge]

2nd row - You ask 'Will us men ever really know how a woman ticks'? The answer is 'no' - as we like to keep you guessing, just for the shear fun of it!

[Casey]

I agree with smudge, ha ha you will never know what makes us tick!! We are also very good at reverse psychology!

[smudge]

He-he,  we have to get our own back somehow!

[CiderMonkey]

I'm sure there's much more possible with our minds than most of us care to bother about. Since i read 'Matilda' as a kid i've been convinced that it's possible to move things with your mind. and every now and then i do try...just in case! I think mind games are amazing and i just don't understand how people like Derren Brown (calm down nicola_red!) do it. I'd love to learn but i reckon it'd freak people out cos they'd never know if you were trying something on with you! Imagine being able to make everyone always think the next round is on them. Brill!

[georgit79]

How many questions were rolled into one there? My brain hurts just reading that!

[2nd row]

 aw, C'mon smudge, dont be cruel, not to me anyway, tell me some of your secret ways, what makes you get your own way ? what do you say ? do ? pretend ? tell me, honest ! i'll keep it all to myself , i wont breathe a word to your old man,  mind games ? you ladies are the champs.... now, thats ME  buttering you up to know more from you !  C' mon you want us to know dont you ? what woman could ever keep such good secrets to themselves ? please tell me more ! and if you dont/wont, then the next female that screams at me " you dont understand me !!!! you MEN will never understand us women !!!!!!   blah, blah i will blame you smudge,.... joking, just joking, cos personally i like to know, understand, treat each one differently, and most importantly , from the outside to the inner, read them first, so at least i've got a chance of NOT be hit on the head, from behind, with the saucepan !! please again smudge, how do you do it ??? mind games only please  !!!

[el duerino]

its easy to know what a woman wants. people just cant be assed to find out.

[2nd row]

   ah poor Georgit 79, the long question done his head in ! his brain hurts ! his mind has gone blank ! ( Thats of course if G/79 is a man ! ? ) now is the time for his misses to ask for money to go to the bingo !!  Sit down my friend, relax, take things easy, head better ? good, Bunny, if youre out there, pour him/her a glass of your wine,..... right, start again, take your time, read it slowly, IF you are a woman, ask Smudge, she'll tell you what to say !,,,, relax, relax, 'tis all fun, have a nice day.

[smudge]

Oh blimey 2nd row - I'm still trying to think of some of the things I've actually done to get my own way! I'm sure to be back later with some ideas for you, which may enable you to understand us girls a bit better! But than again I might not, he he!

 

P.S. I think you'll find georgit79 is a female.

[natalie_1982]

Georgit's a girl, and I don't really understand either. You could have whittled it down to about 6 words. How do women know what men are thinking? Can women control men by the power of thought? I don't know.

[smudge]

Yes it did strain my eyes too somewhat!

[kaz35]

Well done Georgit79!!!   You read my mind!!  I am also quite confused.........   :)

[justpassing]

In some cases 2nd row, it is seduction that gets us women what we want! It is amazing what you fellas will agree to if you're 'on a promise'! I sometimes wonder if that is the only part of a man's anatomy that really get any use!

[Yinzer]

2nd row, honestly I don't recall really being able to use mind games to get what I want from a man. Although I have been thinking a lot lately about how the mindgames we're not even conscious of playing on others can control and change them for the worse. Perhaps I've just been bummed out lately, but noticing how repeatedly not looking a person in the eyes when they begin to talk - keeping focused on the commercials or video game or sky - kinda makes them talk less. Over time they begin to feel like what they have to say isn't even worth being heard so why say it? Or how always laughing at things they like, always having a negative comment can somehow eventually take all of the magic out of whatever it was they used to like so much. Like maybe there really isn't anything that great about it. Or how when you think someone is a bumbling idiot, when they pick up on those bad vibes you're sending they just get all uncomfortable and trip over even more words and look like an even bigger idiot. How telling someone you how much you dislike, for example, the service at this restaurant will condition them to perceive the service as poor next time they go even if it wasn't. just because you planted the seed. How about when you expect a party to suck it always does. I could go on and on but I'll spare everybody. You are right about the mind control. I have a hard time articulating this phenomenon to others, so it's nice to hear that atleast this is a valid component in interpersonal relations.

[el duerino]

of course the amusing part is if we dont pretend that we would do anything on a promise who would get upset? so now it is I, el duerino, who is doing the manipulating.
