Some do. I had a friend that was a crazy ass driver, but every time she got pulled over she'd start crying and the cop would let it go. I don't think she ever got an actual ticket. I couldn't ever do that, partly from pride and partly because I'm a terrible liar. Everything shows on my face.
I think women use wiles, but no more than men do. And I think children use wiles more than any other group...at least the one in my house and the ones I teach do.

Ah, Siggy and her noodle scratchers.
Sure they do. Men, too. Kids, allatime. Swear to God, even dogs. Especially dogs--give you them big sad eyes when yer eating Fritos. They know what they're doing.

Meh, dogs just can't compare to Puss n Boots.
Women generally have a wider repertoire. Men just resort to flattery or lies.
Guilty. I have used my wiles to varying degrees of success. But, I agree with the Rat. Everyone uses them. Especially dogs.
And coyotes!

I think I plum ran out of Wiles. sigh.
I probably did in the past.
My first job out of high school in engineering.
I was introduced to someone as the 'Token Girl'. We have one, he said.
Never forgot that, and I did not even know what it meant at the time. Shook hand and smiled.
Now proving.
But I have wicked good hair still. peww pewww

I have no wiles--can't even flirt. What you see is what you get. Unless petting the back of husband's head in his sleep to get him to lift his chin and stop snoring counts as wiles--lol.
I have no wiles, never learned to use them if I did. BUT, I can get all fixed up girly girl so I can get help at Home Depot. Does that count as wiles?
Women generally have a wider everything.
It's always so nice to see you on the board.

I got out of speeding ticket. I didn't do the wiles thing, I don't think.
Officer pulled me over (Speed limit drops on the decline of the freeway) he's at my open window. I gave him my license and he's putting my info into a little computer thing. A bottle of perfume I had on the console thing of my station wagon fell. I reached over and picked it up. I pointed the spray thing at him and said, "I should spray you. I'm gonna get in trouble with my husband with this ticket. You can get in trouble with your wife for the spritz I give you." I smiled. I'm a goof. He went to his cruiser and when he came back he gave me a warning ticket and said, "I don't want to get in trouble with my wife" and he smiled.
I don't think that counts as a wile? Perfume fell and I said something spur of the moment. It worked out well but I didn't have that intention.

Something I've never been good at. Don't have the face for it. I don't play poker either.
Hey! Is that you? Hubba-hubba!
I love poker. And shooting pool. My brother and cousins hate playing with me. I smile no matter what kind of hand I got dealt. Smile cause it's good, smile because it's sooo bad.
I totally rock shooting pool. Brother claims it's not so much that I play well but that I screw up the table so badly no one has a shot. And I'm lucky.
LOL, yeah that is definitely a wile Sig..Fast thinking...skimom2

I've tried the wile. (I've said this story before)
But, but... I'm just a girl... (joshing..) Hard hat on with tyvec suit - safety glasses entering a busted up train not knowing what to find.
They said, 'Shuddup' pushed me in there. Then took a picture of me. I Saw it and laughed, god that's bad. so funny bad.
Big meeting. Everyone from all over. Hotel conference room. Many came from all over the country.
co worker doing presentation. All professional. Ended it with how hard we all work in Delaware.
then he ended it with ... my big giant face and head with the look. 10 feet high.
Oh how they all laughed. and clapped too!
I did too. And chased and punched him after. Was fun times. bastid. Got a good/bad picture him after. It became a thing.

Was a funny picture. I had a look on, like - really? Sweaty and hot - hardhat wearing.- drawing paper, clipboard and measuring tape in hand.
