Browsing through the movie channels tonight I came across an old film by micheal J Fox called The conicerge (1993)

For those of you who havn't seen it basically Fox plays a hotel Concierge who needs some rich guys backing to fund his dream project but they both love the same woman - same old kinda story line...but there was one bit got me thinking....

The rich guy is constantly trying to manipulate the woman and is always trying to think of the right thing to tell her. Now that may sound like every relationship the world over but what the question it raised in my mind was:

'If men spent less of their time trying to say what they think the woman wants to hear in order to get what they want and more time being an honest and good person towards them would they get what they want anyways?'

Perhaps it might work out better in the long run as its too hard to be constantly saying the right things....but if your just honest maybe sometimes you may say the wrong things but will the fact that your being honest and decent cancel out those times? Will it infact work out better in the long run?

People are always talking about telling people what they want to hear in order to carry favour but perhaps what people want to hear and what they actually want are 2 completely seperate things(!?) And maybe just maybe one is held in higher esteem than the other?

Heh ok I might have a lil too much to drink tonight but it has certainly gave me something to think about and I hope a few others too!
