tonight is informative essay night, in the field of manipulative phsycology!!!!!!(today was a slow day.....very slow)

DOES THEIR STORY CHECK OUT???
have you ever wanted to hook someone up to a lie detector to see of they were telling the truth? well, now with this technique you can INSTANTLY find out of the story they fed you checks out or if their alibi is nothing but bullshit. the technique is called a Conundrum. it works by introducing evidence into a situation and observing your "suspects" reactions. you will see that you can tell if someone is lying simply by asking one question, and you can apply this to ANY situation where you want to see if someone's alibi checks out.
lets say a woman suspects her husband wasnt at the movies as he said he was, but out with his secretary for a late night mattress mombo. simply asking if he went to the movies wont work, as this would only prompt him to say yes. this is because if he was there he will say yes, and if nt he will likely stick to his original story. she wouldnt have any further insight as to his actuall whereabouts that night. with this phsycological technique she introduces a made-up "fact"
and sees how he handles it.
for instance she might say, "oh i heard traffic was all backed up because of an accident outside the theater". now all she has to do is sit back and watch how he responds.
this is because her husband is now faced with an obvious conundrum. if he wasnt at the movies, he wont know whether to acknowlage that there was an accident, as there might not have been one. if he says there wasnt much traffic and there was, it is clearly exposed that he wasnt at the movies, and vice-versa But regardless of the answer he will do one thing that every liar does when confronted with a situation such as this: he will hesitate, as he is deciding how to answer.
remember had he been at the theater he would have instantly said, "there wasnt any traffic, what are you talking about(as he thinks "crazy bitch", okay so maybe not that, but its funny. so fuck off.). But the Liar wasnt there so he isnt sure how to answer, so he will hesitate and in turn give himself away. on top of that he will likely answer wrongly, by agreeing to what you say because he doesnt know the accident never occured.

BIG POINT- its all in the details, the more detailed he is, the more you can beleive what he is saying. Made-up stories often are riddled with huge gaps and are vague and abstract. How specific is their story?

Strategy Review- to use the conundrum, simply introduce a peice of evidence and see how they handle it. just be damn sure they would have direct knowlage as to what you are saying if in fact their story is true, Make sure your "evidence" is plausable but not true, then sit back and see if their fast with the correct response. if they hesitate, change the subject, and/or gives the wrong answer to your question, then you gettin thrown bullshit. hopefully this will help you dodge it.

P.S. this technique can also be reverse engineered to help better conceal your own lies, for example if you get in trouble with your parents for something. ( or GF...lol)
