Seduce her but CAN'T fight the LOVE that comes with it: According to films like 'Yolanda and the Thief' and 'Guys and Dolls'

  When we look at films like 'Yolanda and the Thief' and 'Guys and Dolls'. We don't see much similarities, both are musical romances which star famous singers who also are actors. The viewer would assume those are the only comparisons. But we do see something occur in these two different stories. In both movies, we see the lead male character seduces the female lead into trusting him, only with the intent of causing her some sort of pain. Johnny Riggs (Fred Astaire Yolanda and the Thief) and Sky Matheson (Marlon Brando in Guys and Dolls) both seduce with the purpose of a selfish and cruel intention. Speaking of the latter two words, the famous French novel, 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' also is about a similar theme. Seducing with the intent of ruined, which are male lead of that story Valmont intends to do. But what do we see in these three different stories? Does the ruin even happen as intended?

Vampires using Seduction: How it is their greatest tool at hand

  Seduction is the greatest tool of the vampire. How seduction can is so simple, anybody can do it in real life too. The vampire must learn everything they can about their victim. Their desires and struggles, their likes and dislikes, what their personality is like especially. They want their victim to gain their trust, therefore showing compassion and understanding are vital.  Many non-readers of fantasy books about vampires, or their television series and films, will wonder why it is a lot of their admirers are drawn to such stories.

What Makes a Man Fall for a Seductress

Seduction should never be used to destroy a man, rather to encourage him.  A man meets the girl of his dreams, she's everything he's ever wanted and more. Her simple sweetness and flirtatious words can motivate him into pursuit. Her actions and allure makes him want her. Think of the German folklore of Broomhilda. She's in danger and isn't able to free herself  from the imprisonment from the  evil dragon. Most men would be petrified of the beast and dare not go to the cave. However, one man brave enough would end up doing so. Why? Because Broomhilda encourages him. She is worth it, she is what he desires. A man meets a confident lady who is stunning and elegant. She doesn't chase him or is clingy. Might not even be into mainstream topics like others. Plus she speaks and understands things, but is never a show-off nor is conceited. He goes after her because she is everything he's ever wanted. (Even if that means she maybe fatal like in the classic film noirs.)
