How suggestible do you think you are?

I think my words are taking serious, but people don't blindly follow me. I don't want people to follow me, I've led before and it has consequences for the future. I like taking control of situations and specific women sexually, but not a group.

We all have that part of our lizard brain that is somewhat susceptible to things like suggestion and advertising. There’s tons of psychological testing that goes into things like what colors make you hungry and what music makes you want to spend money. Do you think you fall for it?

Mostly no, but there are times I buy things with skepticism. I don't 100% fall for it, but hope the commercial is correct. These commercials are usually advertise something that makes my life easier.

Colors don't influence me craving of foods.

Do you see a commercial for a delicious cheese pizza and then find yourself craving one?

Mostly no, but sometimes hearing someone talk about food or smelling gets me craving it. I usually wait for the weekend or following weekend to satisfy this craving

What about sexually?

Most men including me are very visual. I could be thinking about paying bills and if I see something undeniably sexy, it stops everything I'm doing for a couple minutes. Later within a week, if I'm lucky I can live out my fantasy with a woman or jerk off furiously, tearing skin.

Do you find you’re always down and ready or is your desire a little more responsive?

A mixture, more times than not I initiated it and hunted her down. I always liked being seduced and at those moments I am mostly responsive.

Do you need to see the sexy thing or hear the sexy talk to feeling like ripping off your clothes?

Mostly yes, it's visual and it creates a fantasy in my mind, then my body follows suit. Other times innocent statements and questions come up and I take it to a super pervy level, then my body follows suit.

What kind of things will spark your desire when before you may not have felt that squirmy?

A beautiful ass, a long hug lol, a soft voice, beautiful breasts, sexy abs, shapely legs, vampire movies, gymnastics, tennis, seeing her suck on a chicken bone and hearing her struggle.

So the answer is - we're all more suggestible than we'd like to think, broadly speaking.

Is it super obvious all the time? No, it's not always "ooh pizza advert, better get a pizza!". But advertising and propaganda and all that stuff work. We are shaped by what we see, what we experience, who we interact with, and if we'd had a different series of experiences and media exposures and social interactions before now we'd likely be extremely different people.

I think I have reverse suggestibility. When I know someone wants me to do something I tend to not want to do it. I have avoided products that annoy me with commercials and I’m not one to go along to get along. I never really minded peer pressure. It has the opposite affect on me.

Now, of course, if I drive past a Burger King and smell that blast of cooking oil I immediately want a burger, but that has more to do with a biological reaction than an advertising one.

Sexually, I am totally under the influence of boobies.
Basically every element of a woman—smell, touch, visual, all of it, makes me horny.

Sex doesn’t sell with me, in that, putting boobs next to a car doesn’t make me want to buy that car, but it does make me want to lick and fondle those boobs.

So ….. This is the rare question I ask so that I can answer (and maybe get some advice)
I get teased often because I am VERY susceptible to suggestions. I don’t even realize it but I’ll crave a food that I barely saw on a commercial. The Golden Girls are drinking OJ? I want OJ. If you hum a bar of a song, I’ll have it stuck in my head for a week. I pick up on people’s emotions (good and bad) and they affect my emotions. I don’t think I’m a particularly sensitive person unless it’s something like this. It can be frustrating.

On the plus side, my desire (while usually present) is extremely responsive. I can not have sexy times on the mind and the right person can say the right thing and all engines are a go. I know partners (male ones specifically) get a little frustrated that I’m not more of an initiator or that they might have to put in the tiniest amount of effort to crank my engine but once revved my engine purrs like a kitten.

So suggestibility … blessing and curse.

I'm the same way in that my desire is very responsive. Flirting with little actions or words get me going much more than a Cold start.....it's probably why trying for kids wasn't as exciting to me a as I imagined it would be because it felt scheduled and routine.

I'm very susceptible to suggestion. There's certainly some advertising that just leaves me cold that makes me want nothing to do with a product or activity (Yes, I know I'm a middle-aged white dude in America, but that doesn't mean I want a gun, a truck, or "tactical" everything). I don't think I spend more because a store is playing certain music or painted a certain color. Most of the time I'm in a store for a particular thing, I get that thing, and I get out. No fuss.

BUT.

If I'm putzing around online and I see an ad for something related to an interest that I already have... then yes, I will be interested in that product. That's how I wound up with a whole bunch of pins on my workbag that say things like, "Mental Health is Punk AF" and "Talk Nerdy to Me," and a Pride flag that says "Free Dad Hugs." It's also how I wound up with dozens of Funko Pops of various characters from TV shows we like. We're not collectors in the sense that we're expecting them to appreciate in value and pay for our kids' college someday. We just like the characters and they make the little dopamine dispensers in our brains go, 'PING!'. None of these things were on any shopping list, yet they still found their ways into our house.

Also... "delicious cheese" is an oxymoron. I'll drown out the nasty taste of the cheese with extra sausage and pepperoni, pleaseandthankyou.

Also, now I want pizza.

What about sexually? Do you find you’re always down and ready or is your desire a little more responsive? Do you need to see the sexy thing or hear the sexy talk to feel like ripping off your clothes? What kind of things will spark your desire when before you may not have felt that squirmy?

10 years ago I was always down and ready. These days I need a little more warming up. That said, it doesn't take much. Seeing the sexy thing, hearing the sexy talk, dreaming the sexy dream, thinking the sexy thought... I'm probably a little more of a visual person, but the right words said in the right tone can certainly get me going too. Intent and enthusiasm matters. A porn actress saying a line from a script intended for millions of people is fine. But those same words from someone who's saying them just for me... that's pure magic. I'll respond to just about anything as long as it's from a place of personal desire.

Ouch! May I suggest coconut oil?

Mostly yes, it's visual and it creates a fantasy in my mind, then my body follows suit. Other times innocent statements and questions come up and I take it to a super pervy level, then my body follows suit.

Lol I love the correlation between vampires, tennis, and chicken bones

Is it super obvious all the time? No, it's not always "ooh pizza advert, better get a pizza!"

See... this feels like bragging

I think I have reverse suggestibility. When I know someone wants me to do something I tend to not want to do it.

I'm very much this way with influencer culture. If I know someone's trying to pretend to use something just to sell it that just annoys me.

Sexually, I am totally under the influence of boobies.

Aren't we all?

I'm the same way in that my desire is very responsive. Flirting with little actions or words get me going much more than a Cold start.....it's probably why trying for kids wasn't as exciting to me a as I imagined it would be because it felt scheduled and routine.

I remember that routine feeling and there's nothing less sexy. Feeling wanted will always warm me up.

I'm very susceptible to suggestion. There's certainly some advertising that just leaves me cold that makes me want nothing to do with a product or activity (Yes, I know I'm a middle-aged white dude in America, but that doesn't mean I want a gun, a truck, or "tactical" everything).

This ties into my next questions about algorithms.

I love you for this.

Also... "delicious cheese" is an oxymoron. I'll drown out the nasty taste of the cheese with extra sausage and pepperoni, pleaseandthankyou.

I hate you for this.

 

[Neanderthal247]

I usually use spit or Shea butter lotion lol
Haven't tried coconut oil, maybe I'll give it a try

Lol I love the correlation between vampires, tennis, and chicken bones

Lol

I would make you fried chicken and Buffalo chicken on the regular

There are more introspective questions in the works here at PLP Inquires. We have a mission to not only have fun. silly questions but also promote the thoughtful, important conversations which seem to be in short supply around here lately. But until then ---

12.08.24

I heard a theory that all the best couples are made of one "golden retriever" person and one "black cat" person. No we aren't talking about furries! We are talking about personality types. The theory goes that two golden retrievers would too chaotic, impulsive and untethered that would eventually be off putting to the wider world. While two black cats would brew a kind of introverted, negativity and meaness that eventually ... would be off putting to the wider world.
The idea is a kind of opposites attract mentality. Do you agree or disagree? Are you more of a golden retriever or black cat? Do you tend to attract a type? How has that worked out so far? Also, do you think this could apply to friendships as well? And do you think personality types change depending on the relationship type?

 

[hotwords229_A]

I’m Team Golden all the way.

Although I have had girlfriends that were cat people, it never worked out.

I am, however, attracted to dog women. So . . .

Personality types can/do change (I think) in relationships. At least to a point. I think good relationships help define each others strengths and weaknesses and we make up for each other’s weaker spots. Maybe?

It's a tough one. I slobber and drool, so very Golden Retrieverish in that respect, but I also have a strong independent streak, so cattish.
I'm attracted to straight talking, no bullshit taking women who like to have their chests rubbed and their bellies tickled but who don't mind bringing me my slippers. So again, a bit of both.

My partners have vary wildly in personality and no, I don't think this theory of golden retriever and black cat holds. I think there are far too many types of people to categorise into just two.

Now, does my personality type change? Absolutely not, I'm the same me regardless. However, different people will absolutely connect more strongly with different facets of me, so the dynamics will be very different. And that's kind of beautiful.

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

I agree people can't be summed up by a few words. We are complex and nuanced and full of inconsistencies. But sometimes simplifying everything to a binary can be interesting and clarifying.

So I kind of agree with this theory. As a total golden retriever all my most significant partners have been total black cat people. I think this speaks less to an opposites attract idea and more to a balancing and refining ideas. People who are inherently different that you hring a different point of view and can amplify your strengths and weakness in a way that someone similar would excuse negative behaviors and amp up the good too much. I enjoy being in relationships, romantic and platonic, where we are making each other better people just by proximity.

In short, I'm way too much! #GR4Lyfe

I don't think I like this binary... I probably lean more towards golden retriever than black cat, but I'm introverted as hell. Can I be a basset hound instead? And my wife definitely leans more black cat, but she's not mean (well... she can be, but it's not her default). Plus, all the black cats I've known have been absolute sweethearts. But if we're painting in the broadest strokes, then yeah, generally I think couples work better when they complement each other.

Andy and April are the total example I had in mind of this relationship type.

And just to clarify myself - I don't think black cat people are mean. I think when they group up they bring out the grumpier traits in each other. I like my black cats because they dont open up to many people at all. And I like being the lucky one that's earned that.

A believe people need to have similar IIfe goals or life goals that don't interfere with each other, but as far as personality it should be opposites. Having a balance is important and helps a relationship.

Are you more of a golden retriever or black ca

I know it's hard to believe, but I am more the golden retriever lol. I am playful and hyper most of the time. I find it weird, because she isn't a people person, but knows how to navigate through politics, when I don't like someone it's obvious, I am a brute in that way. At work parties I was told, I don't know how to do Office Politics.

Do you tend to attract a type?

No specific type, all kinds of ladies love me

How has that worked out so far?

I'm happy with it, I get past my day in a positive way, while keeping unwanted people away from me. I have strong boundaries

Also, do you think this could apply to friendships as well?

I think having a good mix, people you can relate to, others you can branch out with and receive new information.

And do you think personality types change depending on the relationship type?

With time many things can change:
A person's politics, their values, some get bitter through hard times, after receiving new information one might change how they see things. Then you have the people who never change, no matter what information they receive.

What do you bring to the survival team. What 3 Litsters do you want to survive with and why?

Oh, yikes. If you're looking to me for survival then we're all in trouble.
Umm... I can bring some whisky. And some whiskey. And... uhh... I have Cards Against Humanity with all the expansions. And I can bring several boxes of painted D&D miniatures and several crates of unpainted ones. And... umm... I can cook a halfway decent meal over a campfire - that's survival-ish, right? Of course, someone else will need to provide the actual food I'm cooking...
Basically, I'm not looking to survive for a long time. But we'll survive for a good time.

And, of course, @PrettyLilPussy19 is surviving with me, because I am NOT going to be a forever DM.
@SalaciousMonkey22 seems like a good guy to have around and keep the spirits up.
And @MedicalMuse. Because she's amazing and we should probably have someone with some actual skills in this post-apocalyptic nightmare. (it's not me - I bring no skills)
