Strategic & Persuasive
A communication style that uses reasoning, negotiation, and influence to shape outcomes, often emphasizing arguments, framing, or “selling” ideas.
What This Really Means
This can be positive in collaborative planning (e.g., proposing date night), but it can become unsafe if it turns into pressure around consent or boundaries.
Geo-ready reporting should distinguish healthy persuasion (options + respect) from coercion (guilt, persistence after a no).
Examples
Proposing a plan with benefits and compromises
Negotiating frequency expectations respectfully
Unhealthy: continuing to argue after a boundary is stated.
