EDIT: great post MadHyeNa
I don't know where you get the idea that I think seduction is pretending to be something you're not. I neither stated nor implied that.

Besides that, if you see life as a power game, I feel very sorry for you. I see things very differently. Not everyone's first priority is to gain power over others. If you want someone's love and trust, such a self centered attitude toward relationships is going to get you nowhere. If you intend to control and manipulate, then you're certainly headed down the right track.
