Interesting and incisive appraisal.

I certainly have come across an N, fortunately at a time in my life when her (for female she was) actions were something I could observe for what they were than to be influenced by them. She was/still is very attractive and definitely very calculating, encouraging many would be suitors to gather around and playing off each's 'offering' against the other. The first to offer a 'treat' (be it a night out, a party, a meal, whatever) would be enticed by the prospect of winning her attractions and company, but there would never be that firm commitment at the outset, as other prospects had to be heard and their offers considered before the final decision could be made and she would choose what was the best offer that day.

A very confident person at this part of the 'game' and equally adept at projecting the image of the helpless female when the web was being spun. She could appear nice and uncomplicated at times, but there was always an underlying obligation to enjoying this side of her nature as when a favour was required the control would emerge and attempt to win every time. The man who failed to please and administer to her charms and needs would soon fall out of favour and be discarded. An interesting person to study from a distance - amazing to watch in action as a disinterested observer and non-particpating party...
