If you are a guy and have a button you can legally press that makes the woman you're trying to woo fall in love with you, pressing that button would be ... bad?

The "good - bad" scale is not the same as "legal - illegal" scale, although in nice societies they correlate positively.

Pressing people's buttons to make them act against their long-term interests is bad and legal.

(Where "bad" means approximately: "I wouldn't trust given person to cooperate with me in Prisonners' Dilemma, so I would consider it rational to defect".)

Upvoted for this alone.

Steering a conversation such that the result is in your best interest - but not in the best interest of your conversation partner - is bad, even when both are consenting adults?

If you care about both parties being consenting adults, you'll dislike it if one party tries to undermine the clarity of the other person's consent.
