Yes, I agree 100%. One of the most accurate signals that shows when I trust and respect a person highly is that I not only allow but encourage them to manipulate me, because I believe that it will be to my benefit to do so. I'm pretty sure I'm unusually explicit about the fact that I do that, but I don't think I'm especially unusual in doing so.
