But she was naked

So this week we've mostly been talking about how girls are powerful and that they aren't always as they seem. This article proves that seduction can be quite powerful in getting you what you want. Both Inara and Saffron use seduction in differnet ways for differnet reasons. I found it interesting that Inara was able to recognize the seduction tactics and flattery methods of Saffron becasue Inara herself uses them on her clients. This was significant in that it shows that you cannot try to play a player. Inara was able to recognize the seduction tactic becasue she is trained in it. Unlike Saffron who uses seduction to rob people, Inara uses it as part of her job. She appeals to her clients by sympathizing with them and using flattery to make them feel wanted and special. A good example of this in the article was when she chose to be with "Fess" instead of having his father hire her becasue she knew that it made him embarassed. Another flattery tactic was when she chose a woman, she made sure to re enforce that most of her clients are male to flatter the woman and make her feel unique and special. "If I chose a woman she tends to be extrordinary in some way." Inara is very good at appealing to people's emotions and making them feel better about themselves.
