Sweet-talked is a term commonly associated with persuasion or manipulation through flattery. However, there are several synonyms that can be substituted for the word sweet-talked. Coaxed is the most commonly used synonym, meant to imply gentle or persistent entreaties. Wheedled also conveys a sense of coaxing or flattery but implies a subtler form of manipulation. Similarly, cajoled suggests gentle and persistent persuasion with a sense of charm and compliments. Persuaded and enticed also convey the idea of being lured with pleasing words. Beguiled and seduced both imply a more deceptive, even dangerous form of persuasion, though sometimes in a more metaphorical sense.
