Now last week we talked about flattery, or maybe it was on Thursday that I talked about flattery.
Flattery is just really excessive and insincere praise.
Okay.
The modern way to say it would be, she's a flirt.
Okay.
And I think, I don't know, what was it, last service?
I was trying to get someone to tell me how girls flirt today.
And then someone came up to me afterwards and said,
they say, you're a snack.
What?
Man, I think times have changed.
Like in my day it was just like, you know, you're handsome, or hey cutie, or whatever, you know.
Now it's like, you're a snack?
What in the world?
I didn't even know how people could fall for that.
If some woman came up to me and said, you're a snack?
First I'd be like, well hold on a second.
Are we talking about like a vegetable snack, carrots with, you know, or like a Milky Way?
What are we talking about here?
This isn't very flattering.
Okay, first and foremost.
Like I don't even take that as flattery.
You know.
I would take that as, that just sounds foolish.
But I guess that's what they do.
Right, Damian?
You're the one who told me, Damian.
I'm just going to go ahead and call out Damian right now.
You told me this, right?
Okay, alright, cool.
You're looking like a snack.
Keto snack.
So anyways, I guess that's the flattery that they use, you know.
They flirt like that.
But you know, to some guys that might work, I don't know.
Some guys would be like, thanks, I've been waiting for someone to tell me that for a while, you know.
The Bible says in Proverbs 2 verse 16, look what it says,
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
So one of her most powerful weapons that she has in her arsenal, so to speak,
is her ability to flatter, to flirt, to speak, okay.
To, you know, be insincere and excessive in their praise and admiration of that particular individual.
And you know, the reason this works sometimes is because of the fact that men have big egos, okay.
They have a big ego and it's easily deflated as much as it's easily inflated, okay.
They can be deflated easily and inflated easily.
You know, you go to a man and you know, you start pointing out their physical flaws,
you know, their ego will get deflated quick.
But when a man walks by a reflection in a vehicle, you know,
they just walk by and then it gets inflated.
They're just easily, it goes either way.
I'm just telling you, that's just the honest truth, okay.
And so when you have a strange woman coming with flattering words,
with insincere praise, you know, saying whatever, your snack or whatever, you know,
men can easily buy into that and think, oh this woman is interested in me
and then, you know, he can fall into that trap.
