When bad guys capture you, instead of torture, they should just have someone charming take you out for drinks.
It would be a lot more effective on getting you to tell secrets.
They have attractive women do this job, and the operation is called a honey pot.
Yeah, the military has to hold regular “you’re not as attractive as you think you are. Know your fucking number” meetings with the people who have security clearance. Basically, they have to be blunt, and straight up tell the people with clearance “you’re a grey and wrinkly old man who smells like wet beef. At the bar after work, you’re a 3. Maybe a 3.5 if you bothered to shower before getting to the bar. If a solid California 10 strikes up a conversation with you at the bar and seems really interested in your work, it’s because she’s a spy.”
They have to hold these meetings because honeypotting is so fucking effective on the sad sacks who have clearance.
Man that would be terrible. I sure hope no one attractive comes to me to try and pry my many many government secrets out of me with affection and attention. I have so many government secrets and am very easily persuaded with flirtation and intimacy. Soooo many government secrets
You say this sarcastically, but there have been podcasts that talk about how I credibly effective this tactic is.
You're missing the point
I wish I had secrets worthy of being honey potted for. Best I get is 2 dudes on a motorcycle stealing my phone and threatening me to unlock it
To be fair, spies like Maria Butina weren't even that attractive. She was pretty mid, but had all the NRA guys simping.
