    We know that fame / power / pressure changes the way people react in certain situations. If somebody you believe to be more powerful than you behaves inappropriately, most people will instinctively go along with it in the hope of managing the situation. People tend to be compliant in order to avoid confrontation if they feel that confrontation will make the situation worse (even though the opposite is clearly evident with hindsight).

    How many times have you regretted the way you've acted in a pressure environment and wished you 'd said something different or stood up for yourself more? And then felt uneasy about raising it afterwards? Or let fear overtake your rational thought process? Or made a bad decision because a girl asked you? Or ever done anything stupid because of fear or pressure?

    So there are legitimate reasons why people feel psychologically pressured into acquiescing, despite their better judgement.

    But let's say she wasn't pressured or coerced. She knew the rules and took responsibility for her actions. The rules of the game say that she needs to flirt to get a deal. Otherwise no deal. She had a decision to make and decided to flirt in order to get the deal. He then changes the rules. The rules now are 'we fuck in my hotel room and no deal'. What does she do now?

    This is basic stuff that our partners / family might have to deal with. Can't get my head around some of the comments.

      How does a deal maker compete with women (and men) who have no qualms about 'sweetening' the deal?
