ULPT Request: How To Ruin Someone's Attraction For Someone Else?
Posted by TeachMePersuasion@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 12 comments
I live in a close knit family. I regularly see my siblings and parents, and the most annoying person of all is my sister.
Not because of anything she does directly, but because she seems to have a different boyfriend every year, and he's always the exact same loser: long hair, beard, tattoos of occult symbols, no job and a criminal record.
Every year it's the same shit: she finds some new dude, they enter into a relationship, she goes silent for a few months, she weeps and moans about how he's such a good man in between kicking her ass, they break up, repeat.
Tired of it.
How to make someone seem unappealing to someone else?
Preferably the archetype. If I never had to deal with another failed Dave Grohl clone with a goatee, I'd be a happy man.

It seems like she might have a type maybe find a decent guy who might look similar to what she likes but is a decent person who has a job and doesn’t have a criminal background and introduce her to him .

Just a wild stab in the dark because I don't know you or your sister but I think she is dating losers to get a reaction. Next time you see her with a new guy just say "oh, hi (previous boyfriend's name)" and she will be mad and say "no, this is (whoever)". Shrug your shoulders and say they all look the same and ignore him, them.

Ignore the aspects that annoy you (hair, tattoos, etc) because those are obviously intentional on her part.
Instead, find physical similarities to family and keep pointing them out to give her the ick.
"It's not easy to tell because you always date guys with facial hair, but I swear they all have dad's bone structure. Are you doing that on purpose?!? Like the goatee lets you ignore it?"

I learned this from Kelly Kapoor. Join a conversation she’s in, and loudly interrupt her and say “Jessica, did you FART?”

This actually made me laugh aloud. Kelly Kapoor knows best.

Well she needs to love herself, not be made fun of. If you teach her about therapy and affirmations that's your best bet but that's not unethical. Telling her you love her no matter what and that she deserves to be happy will also help but again not unethical.
Maybe showing her a movie about women with violent partners that get hurt and scare her into changing? That seems unlikely though. Probably you should just talk to her like a human, heart to heart. But good luck either way

Tell them she's one of the highest executive officials that works for the FBI. And that she's only 'dating' them to put them back in prison.

Let's consider emotional manipulation to be unethical for a moment. Does she have any close girlfriends or other sisters in her life?
Ask her "If your friend Josie's boyfriend did what your boyfriend did, what advice would you give her?" It may help reframe his actions in a way that she realizes she needs to kick him to the curb.

Get the person who is the “attractive” one to be awkward, do whatever you can to make them feel awkward, people hate people who are awkward
