[QUOTE="jeffh, post: 224834, member: 2642"] No-one said anything about liking the person doing the intimidating, or getting happy feelings about them. All that was said is that intimidation is a way of getting people to do what you want. Which it is - read the book! Most people who make this criticism think intimidation is just the ability to scare people. It absolutely, demonstrably, is not. It is the ability to [I]use fear to get people to do what you want[/I]. Merely scaring someone is a [B]terrible[/B] way to accomplish this - people who are simply frightened often do the oppposite of what they think the person doing the frightening wants. Using intimidation as the book describes it requires a sense of how people react to stimuli and genuine force of personality, both essential parts of Charisma. What on earth did you think this had to do with liking the person, or getting "happy feelings" about them? [/QUOTE]
