I learned the problem with seduce/manipulate from the best-written seducers/manipulators in TV history, Batiatus and Lucretia.
Every time, to a one, that they undertook to seduce or manipulate someone, they did it by reading them and asking their player "how could I get you to ___?"
Then they decided for themselves whether they'd do it, and if not, what they'd do instead.
Any time they used leverage and promises, or offered XP or threatened distraction, it was really just because the other player said "if you promise me ___, I'll do it."
