Does the offer of "anything" still work on men these days?
One of the most tempting thing a woman can say to a man is when she says she’s willing to do anything, “anything” for the man and leave it in vague limbo. As popular as this thing seem to sounds like in popular media I’m wondering if it’s actually working in real life if you consider yourself as attractive woman.
Suppose that a woman is in the middle of a one-on-one private interview with a man. Upon checking her documentation he says
Man: “It seems that you don’t meet some of our requirement for the job, Miss”
Lady: “Yes, I know about that, sir, but I’m a hard worker, willing to learn, and I’m someone who is willing to do anything to get the job, sir. Anything (overly-stressed with seductive tone, with her eyes point down and up again, y’know what it means)”
Man: “Anything?”
Lady: “Anything, sir”
Do you think it will be successful in general?
Another example when a woman has her car fixed in a private-owned repair shop. She comes to pick her car but realize that she doesn’t have enough money for it.
Mechanic: “You agreed to pay $200 to fix your car”
Lady: “I’m really sorry, sir. I only have $100 with me now, that’s all I have. Can you please make an exception just this once? I’m really short on money at the moment. Please?”
Mechanic: “come back when you have enough money to pay”
Lady: “Wait, sir. I really need my car now. Can you please just make an exception this time? Please?”
Mechanic: “Come back with the money (he’s about to go)”
Lady: “Look, I’ll give you the $100. That’s all I have. For the rest, is there any other way I can pay for it? I’m willing to do anything, sir. Anything, that, you, might, need, help, with, sir (Said word-by-word with obvious intention. she’s wearing rather revealing cloth at the moment)”
Mechanic: “Anything?”
Lady: “Anything”
Is it possible for such a thing to work in real life?
Do you believe that ‘irresistable offering’ can sometimes give you an alternative path to get what you want in general? As unethical as you might think it is do you believe that such a thing is still going to be effective in real life given that you’re a fearless attractive woman? Is it at least worth a try?

This question and the Sentinelese one seem rooted in some odd obsession with woman-as-temptress fantasy.
If a woman says “I’ll do anything” – get it on paper, signed, and notarized before you do whatever it is.
I think 99 out of 100 times it means “Anything, except for those one or two things that you have in your mind whenever a woman says” anything”, you pervert.”
It means you’re watching too much porn..)
It so depends on the man in question. There are plenty of guys who are not that cheap and easy, but there are others who are.
I don’t think it has ever worked as well as you seem to believe. There have always been people willing to make the offer, and there have always been people willing to accept it, but there are probably more of them in fiction and fantasy than in reality. And if that’s right, then getting someone who is willing to make the offer and someone who is willing to accept it in the same place at the same time in circumstances where the offer might actually come up is a lot easier in fiction than it is in reality. The situation you are imagining is a quintessential example of contrivance, which is probably why you don’t even see the trope in fiction all that much anymore. But the frequency of such an offer in fiction is not, and never has been, evidence of its frequency in reality.

Not that I’m an expert in the field but isn’t that the premise for 60% of porn movies?
I’d say in the real world the answer is “no”.
If such a thing ever actually routinely happened it ended with Harvey Weinstein.
I have always thought that the “I’ll do anything” scenario was an expression of a fantasy, and probably not a regular event. I’ve been in some very crazy circumstances in some crazy places. The closest me or any one I know ever came close to that was being solicited by hookers, but they were not acting helpless or powerless, which is sort of key to the “I’ll do anything” come on.
Anyway I think I would be insulted by it. It implies I can’t get get the “anything” on my own terms.
By the way what happens when the guy gets the anything, and then goes back on the deal.
I like sex. (There. I said it!)
But given the choice of being paid a $100 owed to me for a job I completed or having sex, I’d take the money every time. The squirt just isn’t worth $100 to me.
And now that I’m missing a prostate that number is even lower!
Clearly the outcome must vary with the individuals involved. But beyond the lecherous man/comely woman equation lies the critical factor of the woman’s actual willingness to “deliver”.
