Welllll, it's not a nice way to be. But if others allow themselves to be manipulated and/or treated like crap, then they have to take some of the blame, I think.

Unless someone puts a gun to your head, you shouldn't fall for that. If you are so weak that you can be manipulated by wrapping paper/packaging, then I think you deserve it. Sorry. But it takes two to tango and the one who is the target of this should be a heckuva lot smarter! :)

I can only hope that karma catches up with them....I think very little of people like that. Being nice-looking doesn't mean you're nice on the inside. As my dad used to say, beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes right to the bone!

I fail to see or understand how it is possible for anyone to manipulate another person with their appearance, but i do believe treating people like crap is a louzy thing to do, in any case. I think someone would have to be a very weak minded person to be manipulated by someone's outward appearance and being treated like crap only occurs a second time because it was accepted the first time.

I just consider it flirting and enjoyable, but don't get sucked in and manipulated. Althouth, a little manipulation in the right place never hurts:)

Not to happy - it makes me sad to be honest to see it happening! :D

I don't have much respect for them, BUT I have less respect for those shallow people who allow themselves to be manipulated and treated like crap by someone simply because they are physically beautiful.

When people are bombarded daily with hundreds of advertising images of artificial beauty created for the exploitation of unwary consumers, it is easy to see why people fall for it.

I get into fights with people like that sometimes.

I have never had to worry about this unfortunate circumstance. ;-) I have been the recipient of such behavior from attractive women who utilize their charms in an attempt to get their way. It only works with me if I happen to be feeling benevolent in the first place. One of the few things that I disliked about my first wife was her attitude toward others of lesser beauty. You did happen to notice that I said FIRST wife, as in EX- ... did you not? ;-)

I think those manipulators are aholes and even if that's their nature it doesn't absolve their behavior. It's the nature of a serial murderer to kill people but that sure as hell doesn't place any blame on their victims. I can understand being vulnerable to somebody that one finds very attractive. If one has been manipulated or mistreated by such a person then hopefully they can learn from their painful lesson and move on. However, if there's no extortion or other force involved and the manipulated person can just walk away from the manipulator but chooses not to, then part of the responsibility for the manipulated person's consequent situation lies with them.

anyone who treats people like crap is not cool in my opinion....however there ARE those who enjoy being treated like crap, therefore, those who are doing the 'crap-treating' do serve a purpose using physical beauty to manipulate others can be used for both positive and negative....i believe physical beauty to be a gift and almost pity those who possess it and DONT use it to their advantage because it's extremely beneficial....only my point of view, not saying this is right or wrong, just an observation
