Is this negging? I thought it would have to hit a bit harder to be negging, and would have to touch on something she can't help, versus a lifestyle choice. E.g., "You're really pretty! Your eyes are so beautiful that you can barely tell your nose is too big" or something.

Then again I am a married woman, I been out the game for a while lol.

I think well done negging is supposed to be subtle. Like any other form of manipulation you don't want the person you're doing it to to realize what you're doing. I could also see it being done about something that they can change because you want them to change. Not sure though, I've never really done any reading on the topic.

Redditors: "everything you do is manipulation"

Also redditors: "all manipulation relies on not wanting the person you're doing it to to realize what you're doing"

Which the fuck is it? Does manipulation rely on deception or am I manipulative? If you say "both" I have no choice but to notice you're too fucking retarded to comprehend the concept of negging, let alone judge the moral quality of other people.
