Read on - if you dare. Chapter 1: The Dark Difference This book delves deep into the truth behind seduction, desire and interpersonal relationships. There is no escaping the fact that the information you are about to take in may shock, surprise and even offend you. The truth can be painful - especially if it goes against deeply held beliefs that have been with you for a long time. There’s no escaping the fact that it is better to face the world for how it truly is rather than live in a false deception. So before we begin, you need to be able to separate truth from falsehood. This chapter aims to provide a contrast between the false influences of mainstream society and culture which leave people with a distorted perspective on how seduction works. Some of the main sources of misinformation will be explored and explained, as will the biggest myths that they create. The chapter will finish with an outline of the truth of seduction - just the dark, bittersweet truth of how things really are, once the layers of illusion have been stripped away. What You Know Is A Lie From childhood, people are subjected to a wide range of influences that distort their viewpoint of seduction and the dynamics at work in interpersonal relationships. It is impossible to avoid being influenced by the world around us and the viewpoints and opinions that we are exposed to. There are several sources of misinformation which lead to people having a wrong viewpoint with regards to seduction and how it takes place. Perhaps the most pervasive influence on the common perception of seduction is Hollywood and TV shows. From a young age children are raised on a diet of media which leads them to believe in a heavily unrealistic and distorted view of love and sex. Disney movies paint love and relationships to be a special, magical adventure between two people who are meant to be together. This may sound like a trivial influence but is far from it. In reality, the model of psychology, seduction and romance that children are force fed through TV shows and movies has a deep impact on their behavior and expectations in later life. As children, we are deeply trusting of those we perceive to be in authority, such as our parents, teachers and older relatives. Naturally, few parents or older figures are likely to reveal the dark and disturbing truth that love is painful, people cheat and sex can drive people to go against their most deeply held moral convictions. Instead, through good intentions, parents and society seek to protect children from the dark reality of what seduction is and what it truly entails. When this false perspective is coupled with the influence from the media already described, children begin to psychologically triangulate a perspective on life which simply isn’t there in reality. Religion and cultural norms can be another way in which people grow up with a false perspective on love, relationships and the forces that drive them. For example, children in many religious traditions are presented with the viewpoint that sex is immoral and wrong and something to be ashamed of. They may be taught that sexual desire is a negative thing which must be suppressed and hidden at all costs. This can inevitably lead to deep conflicts between people experiencing their natural desires as human beings and find they go against everything they have been told to believe. How many times has a supposedly religious figure been shown to behave sexually immorally behind closed doors? How many right wing politicians who talk about family values and the wrongness of homosexuality have been shown to be living in a way which violates their public principles? These are all signs of the problems which can occur when people have a distorted view of sex, seduction and desire. Another key influence that keeps people ignorant as to the true nature of desire and sexuality is the fact that the truth hurts. Consider how much more difficult it is to believe in a world where someone you have opened up your heart and soul to is able to brutally cheat on you and lie to you behind your back, as opposed to a world in which love lasts forever and everyone has a perfect soul mate that is exactly right for them. Of course it is easier to buy into the false, romanticized notion of love and interpersonal relationships - especially when there are so many influences that make the false viewpoint seem plausible. One of the final factors holding us back from being able to accurately understand seduction is our own cognitive bias. We all assume that our minds can be trusted to tell us the truth. We are wrong. In fact, our brains often work against us, and present things to us in a way which does not best serve our deepest interests. So what are some of the main distortions that hold people back from truly understanding seduction? First of all, a lot of people will only be able to perceive occurrences in light of their own preconceptions. Let’s imagine a person who has a romanticized view of the world. They may see a couple at dinner and assume they are enjoying an emotionally intimate meal - one of many experienced through years of heartfelt love. In fact, both people could be cheating on their spouses, enjoying an illicit weekend of drug fueled infidelity. Our brain often holds us back from being able to see things as they really are, however. Protection of our ego is another way in which people fail to see the world of seduction in a true light. Let’s imagine someone cheats on you. Often, to protect yourself from hurt, you will blame the other person entirely. You will see them as immoral, perhaps even evil. You may strongly feel that ‘that’s just who they are’. In reality, you may be the cause. Maybe you are unfulfilling sexually. Maybe you have let your own appearance and sense of self respect dissipate over time. Maybe the other person never really cared about you. Protecting our fragile egos from pain is one of the main ways in which we hold ourselves back from seeing things as they are. If you are reading this book to put it to use, as more than just an interesting way to spend some time, then feel free to think and reflect upon the influences that have led to you not seeing the truth. Do you have a religious or cultural bias which holds you back from being honest with yourself? Do you overly trust in the viewpoints on love, sex and relationships that have been shown to you in the media? Whatever the truth is, don’t be scared to face it. It is always better to play by the real rules than to lose every time. The Main Myths Love Is Scarce Perhaps the most harmful myth holding people back from the truth of dark seduction is that which states that romantic partners are scarce and there are a limited number of people who are right for us or available to us. At its most harmless, this myth causes people to settle for unhappy relationships through fear of being alone. At its most deadly, this myth can inspire people to kill or commit suicide as a result of losing someone they care about. In reality, there are over 7 billion people on the planet. Whatever qualities you found in one person, you can find in another. Everyone is replaceable. The most harmful thing a person can do is get too caught up on any one individual. This is a recipe for utter ruin. Think how many lives have been lost through jealousy and a falsely scarce outlook over the years. Free yourself from this illusion before it destroys you. Men Want Sex, Women Don’t This myth runs very deep indeed. It is perhaps so prevalent due to the wide range of sources in which it comes from. Think about the double standard that is present in society - a man who has a lot of sex is often seen as praiseworthy while a woman who has the same amount is seen as immoral or somehow blameworthy. The impact of this myth is many women feel guilty and as if they must act outwardly in a way which confirms the social stereotypes, when in actual fact they experience an inner reality rich in desire and sensuality. The rich sexuality of women can be easily believed, even at a simple, physiological level. Women are in possession of the only organ in the human body which is devoted entirely to pleasure and are capable of experiencing continual, repeated orgasm. If anything, women are the gender most designed to enjoy and make the most of sexual pleasure. Money Is Seduction This is one of the biggest myths holding men back from experiencing a rich and varied seductive life. Thanks once more to Hollywood and the corporate world of marketing, it is often seen as the man’s role to ‘buy’ sex and affection through being a provider. The conventional model of reality for a lot of people involves showering a woman with gifts and paying for dates until she is eventually willing to have sex with him. A lot of men are astounded and even offended when they find out that, in reality, women are willing to sleep with anyone who is able to take action and arouse the right emotional states in them. Attraction is not logical. Letting outer circumstance hold you back from pursuing the people you truly want to seduce is one of the major roadblocks to personal success within the sphere of dating and seduction. Everyone Has a Type This myth is a common excuse. How many times have you heard someone say ‘I’m not his/her type’ or ‘they are out of my league’. People often talk themselves out of getting the people they want romantically due to a false belief that the person they want wouldn’t want them due to some external characteristic. Some people may in fact have a preference or a habit. This does not mean they only have a narrow type and won’t consider anyone outside of it. Almost everyone has the experience of feeling attraction for someone you did not expect to. Holding yourself back from pursuing whoever you want is a method of self sabotage which lets you stay inside your comfort zone. If I had x then I could get y This myth is another example of people making excuses in order to hold themselves back from being hurt or having to risk their pride or ego in the course of their seductive pursuits. Some of the most common examples of ‘if I had x, then I could get y’ include being a different weight, having a different occupation, a different sense of style, a newer type of watch or a more modern car. All of these are absolutely ludicrous. You need to distinguish between seduction and long term relationships. Being able to excite and intrigue a seduction target is all that is needed to seduce them. They are not going to judge you on superficial nonsense. Cultural Differences Are Concrete Many people legitimately believe that the driving forces behind seduction and desire magically vary from culture to culture. This is far from the case. At a basic level, human beings are identical. We have the same physical needs and the same biological makeup. It is true that there may be differences in the cultural norms of the dating and seduction process - but these are superficial differences in detail. At the core of the matter is one inescapable fact - no matter where people are from, they experience the same desires and feelings as each other. We all have a strong biological urge to reproduce. We all experience physical and psychological arousal in response to certain triggers. Forgetting this fact will limit you from having the richest wealth of dating possibilities imaginable. You Are Good At Seduction Or You’re Not If you read this book with the aim of improving your own seductive skill, then this is the absolute most important myth to shatter. Unless you believe that seduction is a skillset that can be improved like any other, you will never allow yourself to get better within this crucial aspect of life. Too many people labor under the misconception that seduction is some type of innate talent that people are either born with or not. In reality, seduction is far from fixed. People can be more or less likely to do well at seduction without trying - even this is usually due to being around good influences growing up. The fact of the matter is that no matter what your starting point, there is always a way of getting better. For the total newcomer, striking up the courage to ask an attractive stranger for directions can be a massive win. For advanced seducers, learning how to engage in same night threesomes with the most physically attractive people in a nightclub may be their aim. The point is that seduction is a skillset and a process and one which people can get better at through effort. The Dark Truth You now know some of the main sources of misinformation that have shaped your incorrect viewpoint of seduction and dating and some of the major myths they have caused. So if most people’s view of seduction is false, what exactly is the dark truth? The core tenets of ‘dark seduction’ as a concept are as follows. People are motivated by a mixture of psychological and physical desires. These often go against the motives for behavior that are shown in mass media and through social influence. There is no escaping the fact that the things people are attracted to, and the reasons for being attracted to them, upset many. If a person is willing to take an uncompromising, fearless look into what really, truly drives seduction and interpersonal interaction, that person gains a massive advantage over their rivals in the realm of seduction. Subsequent chapters of this book explore the concept of dark seduction in rich, elaborate detail. For now, consider the following basic concepts The Dark Seducer Seduction, as an activity, is hard to separate from the people who are engaged in it. One way of understanding dark seduction is by looking at the person who carries it out - the dark seducer. A dark seducer is someone who is willing to do whatever is needed to attain their desires within the realm of romance, relationships and sex. They are interested in what works more than what ‘should work’. They have committed to seeing things for how they are and not how they should be. A dark seducer understands that seduction is a skillset, often an unpalatable one, and they are willing to commit to bettering their understanding and ability within this area of life. The Seductive Process Dark seduction understands the process by which attraction, desire and chemistry occur. There is no ‘magic’, ‘fate’ or ‘love’ involved. Instead, there are only desires, triggers and responses. Needs and ways of meeting needs. Certain actions and words to be deployed at certain times. A hallmark of someone with dark seduction knowledge is being able to breakdown the true nature of any interpersonal reaction. Just as an advanced scientist understands the world in a deep, minute way which the average person does not, a dark seduction expert is able to analyze and explain the dynamics which are at play in any interpersonal interaction. The Darkly Seductive Intention Dark seduction can be seen as different from the mainstream perspective from its intention - or at least the honesty of its intention. Someone practicing dark seduction is truly honest with themselves about how they feel and what they want. For example, many people may justify being with someone they are not especially attracted to because of their ‘great personality’. A dark seducer may instead understand and accept they are with someone in order to ‘have the upper hand’. The intention of dark seduction is to see things as they really are and accept them without judgment. The Outcome Perhaps the key point of differentiation for dark and ‘normal’ seduction is in the outcome. Someone who knows the principles and practices of dark seduction is able to get what they want effectively out of any romantic interaction while protecting themselves from the desires and intentions of others. Someone familiar with dark seduction is ensuring they will never be in a place of scarcity or experience a feeling of desperation. The Path Ahead You now have a basic understanding of what makes dark seduction different from what you have been taught before. Read on to gain an advanced understanding of every element of dark seduction imaginable. Whether you want to put the ideas into practice in your own life, protect yourself from others, or simply gain a fascinating insight you never knew existed, don’t turn back. The information that awaits you is life changing one way or the other. Chapter 2: A Seductive Science, An Attractive Art One of the key areas of interest for people improving their knowledge of dark seduction is whether it is an art form or a science. In truth, it is both. Like many creative pursuits, there are a series of principles which underpin dark seduction these can be thought of as the scientific element. The way in which they are applied and used in real world situations is very much an art form. In this chapter you will learn which aspects of dark seduction pertain to its eternal principles and which are more properly considered an art form. You will learn some of the key principles behind dark seduction and why exactly they are so powerful. Without stating needless levels of scientific detail, the chapter will briefly touch upon some of the scientifically proven concepts and ideas which make dark seduction so uniquely powerful. The importance of being flexible in your application of the ideas - very much an artistic element of seduction - will be elaborated upon. Finally, the art of dark seduction will be likened to plastic surgery - insofar as the best art in this area has not been visibly created at all, as it is so subtle. Eternal Principles, Endless Application Dark seduction is like any other art form - although it has endless variations of creative application, there are eternal, fixed concepts which underpin it. Take visual art, as an example. Although the creation of such art, whether in the form of photographs or paintings, is often seen as a purely creative act of inspiration, artists will always use consistent concepts such as depth, lighting etc in a way which can be more likely seen as a science. So what are some of the consistent principles which underpin dark seduction? Never Need One fundamental concept to success within the area of dark seduction is non-neediness. It is vital to always be the person who is relied upon rather than the person who is reliant on someone else. There is nothing more attractive than someone who is entirely self- sufficient and who does not depend on anything or anyone outside of their self for their satisfaction and happiness. This actually goes against a more mainstream view of romance and seduction. Think about the classic viewpoint of a smitten lover. Such a person views romance as being completely involved with someone else, constantly thinking about that person, craving them and desiring them. In actual fact, such behavior ends up repelling people of the opposite sex. If you are willing to ask some open and honest questions of the people around you then you will soon see this is the case. If you ask people why they ended some of their relationships or romantic encounters over the course of their lifetime you are likely to come across at least a few people who state that it was due to the other person becoming needy, clingy or wanting more from them than they were willing to provide. People falsely buy into the stereotype put forward by the media and advertising that to be attracted to someone is to be addicted to them. In reality, there is no faster way to lose someone than to become too attached to them. No Big Deal One consistent characteristic of a dark seducer is the ability to keep everything in perspective and see nothing as a big deal. The most experienced dark seducers have almost a zen like calm where nothing, either positive or negative, is able to fundamentally change their mood and emotion. The best dark seducers who have internalized the concepts presented in this book, and have endless reference experiences of applying them, are able to take anything, extremely positive or extremely negative, with almost a shrug of the shoulders and a calm way of just carrying on. How many people do you know who have let a bad outcome within the area of romance or seduction impact them on a serious level? So many people have become depressed, even suicidal, when romance does not go as they want it to. Just spend a few minutes browsing through the news media and you will come across countless tales of people who have been driven to utter desperation, including murder, to avoid losing the person they had feelings for. The ability to accept and not react strongly to things transcends the areas of romance and seduction alone. Dark seducers will find that the skills they develop within the area of seduction and success with sex translate into almost every area of their life. They are able to calmly move through life, getting what they need from it, and not reacting strongly to whatever happens to come their way. Charismatic Confidence Confidence is a core trait which runs through the heart of dark seduction. This is not confidence in the normal sense of the word. Some people have a ‘quiet confidence’ about them, others are ‘situationally confident’ and some people are ‘excessively confident’. None of these are the type of confidence held and used to devastating effect by dark seducers charismatic core confidence. So what exactly is this and how does it help in the pursuit of seduction? To be charismatically confident is to have confidence in a way which is appealing and attractive to others. People who are delusionally, excessively self-confident often come across as bragging and are not attractive as a result. People whose confidence comes and goes are not reliably seductive - they cannot achieve consistent results as they are unsure as to when their confidence will fail them and when it will serve them. Some people may have some type of internal confidence but be unable to translate it outward into their speech, action and decision making. So what does a charismatic dark seducer’s core confidence look like? Basically, the feeling of core confidence experienced by the best seducers is one which does not depend on anything happening in their life at the time - it is simply who they are. They are as confident with a million dollars in their pocket as they are with none. They are as confident wearing simple gym clothes as they are in a custom made Armani outfit. Time and time again studies have shown that one of the most key factors in being attractive is to be confident. Dark seducers take this to a level which is experienced by few other people. The confidence experienced by dark seducers borders on Machiavellian one of the infamous Dark Triad personality traits which studies have shown to be incredibly attractive for evolutionary reasons. Some dark seducers are out and out Machiavellian, even sociopathic, while others simply have a slight side of these traits to their personality without fully embracing them. Many people are shocked by the fact that behavior and thought patterns categorized as psychologically deficient are attractive - but that is the truth of the matter. Self Love Narcissism is one of the other Dark Triad personality traits which have been shown to be incredibly attractive - and this personality aspect most often manifests within a dark seducer as ‘self love’. What exactly is meant by self love? An effective dark seducer is able to hold a positive viewpoint of who they are, and the actions they carry out, no matter what. No matter what they do, however much it may seem like a mistake or some other bad choice of action to others, they manage to see the positive side of things and think well about themselves as a result. The result of this ability is that the dark seducer never feels bad or in need of validation or approval from others. So what is the end product of this process of self love? Because a dark seducer loves their own self more than they love anything or anyone else, the dark seducer is always able to put their own interests first. They will never act in a way which puts anyone ahead of themselves. They are incapable of caring deeply about anything other than what they want to get out of life. As a result of this, they are able to make choices and decisions which always further their own interests. They never allow the pursuit of romance or seduction to compromise what they want to get out of life. Resilience Dark seduction is a discipline which produces resilience on both a small scale and a large scale level. Because of the preceding concepts that have been described, a dark seducer does not see anything as overly important. Such a person is able to see seduction, and life itself, as one giant game. As a result of this the dark seducer never succumbs to the pressure of life, because ultimately, they do not feel any. To the dark seducer, nothing ultimately matters, and therefore nothing is able to impact them on a deep level. This resilience is almost related to nihilism. Because ultimately dark seducers feel and know that nothing matters, they are able to withstand almost anything. Whereas regular people become emotionally invested in various people and situations, the dark seducer is able to operate in an environment and from a perspective of detached aloofness. Whatever happens, happens. The dark seducer is able to nonchalantly remain ready and waiting to exploit the next opportunity that presents itself to them. Dark Flexibility Now that we have explored some of the core ‘scientific’ aspects of dark seduction, we will turn our attention to the concept that the application of the principles is more of an art form. The key reason why dark seducers are artists as much as they are scientists is due to their ability to tolerate ambiguity and apply the experience and ability they have in a deeply creative way. This flexible, creative application largely consists of two main aspects - the ability to treat situations uniquely, and the ability to apply different tactics and techniques to get the same result. First, let’s look at how a dark seducer is able to artistically apply some of the key ‘scientific’ concepts differently in different situations. If you read mainstream literature related to seduction, romance and sex, you will often come across ridiculous generalizations. For example, how many times do Cosmopolitan articles, and other similar mainstream media, offer advice related to ‘10 things all men’ or other banal generalities? This is why dark seducers are different they know there is no ‘man’ or ‘woman’ that responds universally to the same things. Just as an artist knows that different woods must be crafted differently from each other, a dark seducer knows that their seductive targets must be treated uniquely, rather than in a general way. Through experience, a dark seducer will be able to choose a course of action that is likely to work for the person they are interacting with, rather than just choosing a course of action with no thought to the person it is being applied to. This may be a mixture of intuition stemming from experience or the ability to ‘test’ different verbal and physical techniques and ascertain which is being responded to at any given time. Dark seducers are Machiavellian in the sense they know there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way - only what works and what doesn’t work. The second main way in which the application of the principles behind dark seduction is more ‘art’ than ‘science’ is due to the fact that a dark seducer knows multiple courses of action can produce the same, desired results. For example, a dark seducer may need to spike their target’s interest at the start of an interaction. A question phrased in a certain tone could achieve this aim, as could a statement. This realization that any words or actions aren’t important in and of themselves is a key point of difference between dark seducers and most seducers. Dark seducers know that what is said and done is irrelevant - all that matters is the impact it has. The Art of Invisibility The final meditation offered in this chapter as to how dark seduction relates to art and science is a similarity that the discipline shares with other high level art forms. When you look at an amazing piece of art - no matter what type - it is not obvious how it has been created. It exists as a cohesive entity, an amazing whole, rather than some obviously constructed thing. Dark seduction is the same. When done properly, it seems effortless, natural and like nothing is taking place. The best dark seducers are able to get what they want out of an interaction without the person they have been interacting with knowing anything has taken place. This is possible due to the subtle nature of dark seduction. Skilled dark seducers know that their tone of voice, the intensity of their eyes at any given time, the pauses they leave between syllables of words - all of these tiny details add up to have a profound effect. As a result, dark seducers do not leave a trace. They are stealthy and hard to detect. Chapter 3: The Seducer’s Motive As briefly touched upon in an earlier chapter, one of the key aspects setting dark seduction apart from more mainstream viewpoints is the motive of the people engaged in the process. This chapter will delve deeper into the range of motives and perspectives underpinning the darkly seductive mind. Not all dark seducers are the same - but all dark seducers are different from regular people. We will now look into some of the reasons why people pursue dark seduction and how they are different from the majority of human beings. Unconventional or Unwell? One of the main questions many people have when encountering the topic of dark seduction for the first time is whether dark seducers are operating outside of the mainstream or whether they are simply mentally ill. In truth, both possibilities exist. Some dark seducers would fit the criteria for a range of psychiatric disorders, including sociopathy, narcissism or being hypersexual. Other dark seducers do not have the characteristics of these types of disorders in all areas of their life rather they just make use of the workable aspects of such disorders to get what they want out of their seductive life. Think about it this way. Not all dark seducers are sociopaths, and not all sociopaths are dark seducers. For any given personality or psychiatric disorder that has some overlap with dark seduction, picture a venn diagram. On one side we have dark seducers, on the other the disorder, and in the middle an area of overlap. The extent to which an individual dark seducer will exhibit traits of various personality disorders differs on a case by case basis. It is therefore lazy and stereotypical to tar all dark seducers with the same brush. Instead of seeking to label broadly, it is better to analyze and understand on a smaller scale basis. One important facet of this aspect of dark seduction is the fact that what is considered a disorder changes from time to time. For example, homosexuality was officially considered a mental disorder for a long period of time - now it is not. Therefore, labeling a dark seducer as hypersexual or sociopathic, and doing so in a way which aims to present them as deficient or negatively abnormal, may well be a mistake. It is far better to try and understand what works about dark seduction rather than trying to interpret it through the lens of mainstream labels and diagnoses. One Game, Many Prizes Now that we have established that psychological patterns of behavior drive some dark seducers and not others, what are the wider range of motives that underpin the dark seductive quest? What is it that motivates and inspires people to learn a skillset that often separates them apart from the mainstream norms and acceptable patterns of behavior of many societies? Let’s take a look. The following motives and inspirations for dark seduction shouldn’t be considered as mutually exclusive. Life isn’t that simple. One person isn’t motivated ‘only by sex’ and another ‘only by power’. Most people have a complex mix of motivations and inspirations that can coexist and coincide at any one time. Some dark seducers may be motivated largely by sexual pleasure, while also having a secondary motivation stemming from the exercise of power. Other dark seducers may be motivated almost entirely by power on one occasion, and may be motivated almost entirely by sex on another. Motivations are many and they may dominate or dissipate at different times. With that being said, let’s delve into the range of drives and aims dark seducers have. Sexual pleasure is a core drive behind dark seduction. We live in a society where the satisfaction of sexual desire is perhaps easier than ever. Anyone can watch pornographic content on their smartphone or laptop at any given time. Such material has even crossed into the mainstream through works such as 50 Shades of Grey and other similar erotic phenomenon. So in a sexually abundant world, how can sex motivate people to pursue dark seduction? Dark seducers can be said to be connoisseurs of sexual pleasure. While most people may set their sights low, and be content with access to pornography or uninspired sex with a partner they are not especially attracted to, dark seducers aren’t willing to settle for such low spoils. Dark seducers know there is an infinite variety of people in the world who can provide an infinite range of opportunity for sexual variety and pleasure. With this in mind, dark seducers know that they must take extraordinary measures to experience extraordinary enjoyment. To experience the satisfaction of an incredible sex life, dark seducers know they must take incredible action to attain it. Aside from sex, the simple thrill and interest of advanced level human interaction is a key motive for some dark seducers. Almost everyone is motivated by the ability to influence people to one extent or another. Some people pride themselves in being able to make people laugh, and in bringing a smile to people’s faces. Other people prefer to be obeyed and respected. Dark seducers also desire human influence - but they happen to crave influence at the highest level. A dark seducer’s art form lies in forging a connection with someone to the extent that they are able to gain their deepest level of trust and intimacy. A dark seducer can be thought of in terms of being what a mountain climber is to a regular exerciser. Most people are content to perhaps fall in love and get married once or twice in their lifetime, just as most people are satisfied by moderate exercise. The odd gym session here and there - a game of frisbee, perhaps. Dark seducers are the equivalent of people who want to climb the world’s toughest mountains and do so again and again. They want to experience the toughest challenges related to interpersonal influence and seduction again and again - and triumph continually. The growth motive also underpins dark seduction for many seducers. Because most mainstream thinkers think of seduction or romance in terms of slushy, ill defined notions such as fate, love or even magic, they don’t see it as an area which someone can grow and progress in. Dark seducers, on the other hand, are aware that seduction is a skillset. Like any other skillset, dark seduction offers the opportunity of growth and improvement. Many dark seducers are therefore motivated by the desire to see ‘how good they can get’. This competitive drive, against their own efforts, or the efforts of others, is what keeps many seducers doing what they do on a long-term basis. The desire for adventure and experience is what keeps many dark seducers in the game. If you have experienced the thrill of meeting someone of the highest standards of physical beauty and taking them home on the same night, such an exciting experience can make other ways of spending time seem boring in comparison. This excitement and variety is one of the ways in which dark seduction can become addictive. Having experienced the thrill of the game, many dark seducers are unable to let go of the feelings they go through. One taste is not enough - dark seducers crave more and more. Night and Day You now know the relationship between dark seducers and personality, and the way in which various overlapping motives may provide a complex mix of drive and addiction for dark seducers. Let’s now hammer home the difference between the motives of dark seducers and the motives of most people - because the difference is as night is to day. Many people are motivated to attempt seduction by shallow, superficial motives such as to feel validated as a person, to feel a purpose in their life or to feel as if they are worth something. These motives are antithetical for a dark seducer. As stated in the previous chapter, a dark seducer meets all of their basic needs, such as those for esteem, self-worth and purpose within themselves - they are not in need of anyone else. The first key difference is that many regular people attempt seduction and relationships to fill a need they have. Dark seducers, on the other hand, already have met all of their own needs. They therefore don’t need to play the game - they choose to through enjoyment. Consider the following metaphor. Imagine two people gambling at a casino alongside one another. The first is desperately trying to win - they need to win money in order to afford to eat. The second has plenty of money and can easily afford to lose whatever they are staking. They are simply playing for the thrill of the game. The first person will be attached to the outcome of the game and likely to feel a sense of desperation and emotion. A loss will devastate them while a win will elate them. The second person is able to carry out their moves from a detached perspective of intellect rather than emotion. Whatever happens, happens. They need nothing from the game and ultimately don’t care about its outcome - only the act of playing. The second key point of difference is in terms of identity. Dark seducers tend to have an incredibly strong concept of self. They are not defined by the world around them or what happens to be popular or trendy at the time. They are certainly not defined by anyone else in their life. Dark seducers will never think of their conquests in terms of ‘my other half’ or ‘my soulmate’ or ‘the missing piece in my life’. Dark seducers do not take particular pride in being a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife - they know these are only labels. Their interaction with the opposite sex is merely something they do rather than something that they are. Mainstream people, on the other hand, will often identify so strongly with their relationships, and the people they interact with, that they allow their identity to become entirely caught up in such distinctions. Instead of realizing that the person they have sex with is separate from themselves, they become egoically merged with them. They don’t have any healthy psychological boundaries - indeed their lack of psychological independence makes them weak and vulnerable to change. The final, and perhaps most important, night and day distinction between dark seducers and mainstream seducers is the ability of dark seducers to have a Machiavellian detachment from what they do and the morality or praiseworthiness of it. Whereas a mainstream person engaged in romance may think in terms of ‘the right way to treat someone’, a dark seducer will think only with regards to ‘the effective way to treat someone’. There is no moral dimension to the thought of a dark seducer - only a ruthlessly efficient focus on effect and outcome. Chapter 4: Inner & Outer Darkness Rather than viewing dark seduction as a concept which exists in its entirety, it is better to understand it through a basic distinction - inner and outer seduction. Any given aspect of seduction and the pursuit of success in this area of life can be seen as either ‘inner’ or ‘outer’. Roughly speaking, when done well, dark seduction is the expression of an internal state conveyed through external words and actions. This chapter will explore exactly which aspects of dark seduction fall into the categories of ‘inner’ and ‘outer’. You will see that it is not possible to have one aspect without the other if you want to be truly effective within the area of dark seduction. Ways of developing various aspects of both inner and outer seduction will be presented. This chapter is essential reading regardless of whether your motivation is to improve your own seductive abilities or to better understand the seductive efforts of others. Knowledge of the duality existing between inner and outer seduction is an advanced level of knowledge that separates you from the vast majority of people’s understanding of this area of life. As you read this chapter, and the rest of this book, keep in mind the following formula which precisely specifies what dark seduction is ‘Dark seduction is the outwards expression of inner state’. Inner Dark Seduction Let’s now explore the core aspects which make up the inner aspect of dark seduction. The depth each aspect is treated with here depends upon whether it is covered more comprehensively elsewhere in the book. Values Values are the internal compass by which people make decisions. For example, the type of career a person chooses to pursue is often influenced largely by their values. For example, if someone values patriotism, they may look towards a role in which they are able to make a positive contribution towards their country at some national level, such as serving in the armed forces or trying to make a role through politics. If someone values financial wealth then they are likely to pursue a career which offers high financial returns at the expense of other aspects, such as a work/life balance, for example. Values play a large role in the inner makeup of dark seduction. For example, someone who pursues the path of dark seduction has chosen to value getting what they want out of life and living a life of sexual abundance over a life of conformity and playing by the rules encouraged to them by the mainstream way of life. The values of dark seduction differ slightly depending on the individual in question, but largely consist of sexual freedom, moral independence and nonconformity. Dark seducers tend to value results over the methods that get them although many dark seducers are as in love with the process of seduction as they are with the results it produces. Beliefs Beliefs are almost the specific way in which values manifest in a person’s life. For example, if someone holds the value of sexual freedom, then they may have the belief that investing time in meeting new potential sex partners is a worthwhile use of time. Someone who has successfully achieved many of their aims within the world of seduction may have the belief that they are able to get the seduction targets they desire. One aspect of belief which holds many people back from achieving what they want within the field of seduction and romance is known as ‘limiting belief’. A limiting belief is any viewpoint which holds people back from pursuing what they really want. It is easier to illustrate the concept of limiting belief through the provision of an example. Imagine someone who is standing in a bar. They spot someone they are attracted to. Their attraction is not a conscious choice - it is an automatic response. Such a person is likely to respond to their initial feeling of attraction with an internal debate. Should they go and attempt to initiate an interaction with the person they have seen, or should they stay within their comfort zone and not approach them? A person’s beliefs, be they limiting or otherwise, come into play here. Someone with a limiting belief, or several, will find every reason not to pursue the person they want. Some of the typical limiting beliefs that prevent success in seduction include ‘that person would never go for someone like me’, ‘I’ve been rejected before so I’ll be rejected again’ or ‘someone like that will definitely already be in a relationship’. A dark seducer, on the other hand, is likely to have empowering beliefs that allow them to pursue what it is they desire. For example, someone with experience in seduction will believe that the pain of inaction is worse than the pain of rejection. Seducers may believe that nothing bad can happen by approaching but not approaching is in and of itself a bad act. The beliefs held by a dark seducer empower them and enable them to experience success on their journey through the world of seduction. So how does a dark seducer develop empowering beliefs? Reference Experiences Reference experiences, as their name suggests, are the experiences we have had in our lives that we refer back to when forming our beliefs and making our decisions. For example, someone who believes that they will get rejected if they talk to someone they are attracted to in public may feel this way because they have a small number of experiences in this happening, or no experience in taking this action at all, so their mind imagines the worst. A dark seducer, on the other hand, will have a series of experiences to refer back to which show they are capable of experiencing success and pleasure when attempting to seduce a stranger. In order to effectively form reference experiences, concrete effort is required on the part of the seducer. The individual must consciously and deliberately seek out the type of experiences that will empower their aims and objectives in the future - and then learn from them, and interpret them, to extract the experiences and feelings needed to achieve what they want. At the start of a seductive journey, new seducers may have to consciously force themselves to think back over their reference experiences, in order to empower themselves. For example, when starting out, a dark seducer may have to force themselves to think ‘I have done this before, it went well, so I will succeed this time as well’. Someone who is more experienced, on the other hand, will not have to consciously think through their experiences. They will just be embedded into the fabric of who they are and what they do. Presence Presence is the ability of an effective seducer to switch off their internal chatter and self-talk and instead focus entirely on the moment in front of them. Most people are constantly preoccupied by their own thoughts, doubts and feelings which are working nonstop somewhere in their brain. This is a form of psychological distraction which makes it hard to be effective in the present moment. After all, how is it possible to focus on the here and now if you are reliving something that has happened in the past, or you are looking ahead to something that may or may not happen in the future? One of the ways in which presence helps seducers to be exceptionally effective is by allowing them to place all of their attention at any one time on their interaction with their seduction target. Seeing as it is so rare for someone to have the experience of being the sole object of another’s attention, when it does occur, it can have a profound impact. The particular type of eye contact displayed by a dark seducer is an outer manifestation of inner presence. Such eye contact tends to be very intense but without coming across as staring. If you think about the stereotypical smoldering model gaze featured in advertising, it is something like that. It is a very intense but solid manifestation of internal stillness and calm. One of the ways in which dark seducers are able to nurture the inner concept of presence is by meditation and other forms of behavior and habit which encourage focus, concentration and a lack of distraction to become routine. Some of the most effective members of the notorious pickup artist community are known for their dedicated practice of meditation, learning from teachers of presence such as Eckhart Tolle. Physical Self Mastery The final main inner aspect of dark seduction is physical self mastery. This is the way in which dark seducers are able to take control of their inner physical reality in order to give themselves the highest chance of success within the field of seduction. This may involve finding the optimum combination of diet and sleep to have a high level of testosterone and an abundance of natural, clean energy. It may involve exercising in a way which empowers their bodies and increases their attractiveness and ability to perform sexually. One of the traits of the most effective seducers is they are not reliant on alcohol, or other chemical crutches, which many average people use when pursuing seduction in order to have a feeling of confidence and a lack of inhibition. Seducers are able to draw their own confidence, energy and expressiveness from within themselves - not through any external means. Mastering the physical aspects of their inner state is one way in which seducers are able to aid their efforts in this area. Outer Dark Seduction Some of the main internal components of an effective seducer have been stated above. However, seduction does not occur through internal aspects - it is the translation of the external aspects into outer expression. One way of looking at this is thinking of the inner aspects as the ‘fuel’ and the outer aspects as the ‘motion’. A dark seducer is fueled by powerful beliefs, values and the ability to be present. This is the foundation, or fuel, that powers their words, actions and appearance. Some seducers are able to get good results by focusing on the outer aspect alone. It is sometimes enough to be able to do and say the right things in the right way in order to seduce someone. However, these seducers are ultimately like an ugly woman looking presentable through the use of excessive makeup. It may deceive people in some conditions some of the time however the truth will eventually surface. The best seducers therefore focus equally on the inner and outer aspects of their seductive pursuit in equal measure, as they know one is not truly effective without the other. This chapter will now give a brief oversight of the three main outer aspects of dark seduction. These will each be dealt with in greater depth, and in a more nuanced way, in later chapters. They are covered here in order to offer a basic framework and understanding which you can refer back to as you progress through the book. Words Words can be either the verbal things a seducer says to their target or the written communication they use. The choice of words is, of course, important - but the sub communications are far more important. For example, think of a very simple verbal phrase - such as ‘hello’. Depending on how this is said, it can mean anything from “I am shy and not confident in talking to you” to “I want to have sex with you as soon as possible”. The tone of voice in which words are spoken, the pace at which words are said and the way in which they coincide with body language are all key verbal aspects of dark seduction. The understanding of the importance of ‘how’ words are used rather than just ‘which’ words are used is one of the ways in which dark seducers are unlike most people. How often have you heard people try and exchange ‘pickup lines’ or some magic combination of words they think will help them get the girl they want? In reality, dark seducers use words in a way which is not unlike comedians. A comedian is able to deliver their words in a way which gets the response they want from the crowd. Someone who does not have the delivery that a comedian has could say the exact same things and produce no amusement whatsoever. Similarly, a dark seducer could write out the perfect verbal script for someone - but if the person delivering them doesn’t know how to say them, the words are next to useless. Actions Actions can be seen as anything physical that a dark seducer does in pursuit of their target. This can consist of small details such as body language and stance, through to more interactive elements such as the type and intensity of touch, through to advanced physical actions such as sexual physical contact. Why is action so key to dark seduction? Simply put, the major difference between a friendly interaction, and a sexual interaction, is the touch which takes place. Touch is a huge aspect which many people who don’t know about dark seduction struggle with. Let’s contrast the way in which a person unskilled in the art of dark seduction may use touch, as opposed to the way in which it is used by someone with experience in using dark seduction effectively. Someone with no seductive skill is likely to either use touch clumsily and haphazardly, or not use it at all. Many people who strike up the courage to speak to an attractive stranger do so and then talk for far too long. If you have either done this, or been on the receiving end of it, you will know exactly what it is like. The person talks, and things initially go well. However, the person talks for too long, any interest is lost, and the target eventually moves on and makes an excuse to leave. So what holds people back from using touch in the pursuit of seduction? Fear. People are so enamored by the feeling of comfort and safety they have by having a ‘nice conversation’ that they are unwilling to up the stakes and potentially risk the interaction by stepping things up a level. The other end of the extreme is when someone does not know how to use touch well involves using it clumsily or aggressively. This is a person whose use of touch seems awkward and uncalibrated. This is usually due to the fact they are terrified in their own mind and therefore cannot use touch in a relaxed and natural way. This is just as bad as not touching at all and has the same end result - repulsion of the target and an outcome of rejection. A dark seducer uses touch in the following ways. First, they will know the right amount of touch they can use at any given time. For example, they may start off small by making a light, subtle touch on a relatively safe area of the body such as the arm. If the target reacts badly to this then the dark seducer knows to back off and slow things down before attempting to touch again. If the target responds well to the touch then the dark seducer knows they are able to touch more intensely, and can keep repeating this process until they find the limit of the target’s comfort at any given time. A dark seducer is also able to use touch in a way which does not come across as clumsy and uncalibrated instead it seems natural, smooth and subtle. This is due to several reasons. First, the dark seducer is likely to have seduced so many people that using touch comes as second nature to them. They think nothing of breaking the touch barrier because, to them, it is second nature. Nothing to think about and certainly nothing to worry about. Second, the inner aspects and beliefs come into play in assisting a dark seducer’s touch. They are likely to have many positive experiences of touching in the past and therefore have the confidence to do so in the present moment. Appearance The final outer aspect of dark seduction which will be outlined here is the physical appearance of the seducer. Dark seducers are able to use their appearance in a way which allows them to have the best chance of seducing their target. There are some general principles behind the way in which dark seducers choose to appear, and some specific schools of thought which dark seducers often adhere to. Broadly speaking, dark seducers tend to dress in either one of two ways - to fit in visually or to stand out visually. Either is likely to be a conscious choice. For example, to fit in, a dark seducer is likely to wear clothes that allows them to go ‘under the radar’ in their environment. This will basically involve dressing appropriately for the environment in which they wish to pursue their seduction - casual in a rock bar, smarter in a cocktail lounge, for example. This basically takes their appearance out of the equation and lets their physical and verbal game do the talking instead. Many seducers will often take the ‘normal + 1’ philosophy to dressing. This involves dressing appropriately for the environment, but then enhancing one aspect. For example, if everyone is wearing a suit, the seducer will too - but they may have an interesting pocket square or badge, whereas no one else does. The other way a seducer may choose to dress is to stand out, in a good way. You may have heard of this old school concept as ‘peacocking’ or some other variation of this term. It basically stems from the theory that standing out is a positive thing in terms of attraction - it allows the seducer to differentiate themselves from others, and lets people who are interested in them have something to comment on and touch during an interaction. Peacocking, or dressing to stand out, is a double edged sword. It can work really well - but only if the seducer has their inner aspects handled. Basically, dressing to stand out requires self confidence and belief. If a seducer has the positive self image needed to pull off an extravagant outfit, they will do so. If a seducer lacks this, however, then they will be unable to act in a way which is congruent with what they wear. The object of their seduction is likely to see through their charade in a heartbeat and reject them. Two Sides Of The Same Coin This chapter has shown you that dark seduction is equally a set of internal aspects and the way in which these aspects are expressed outwardly. You now know that a seducer needs to have both handled in equal measure in order to be truly effective. Now that you understand what dark seduction is, why dark seducers do what they do, and the inner and outer aspects of the seductive equation, read on. It is time to go in-depth about specific aspects of dark seduction - starting with the initial approach or ice breaker. Chapter 5: The Approach The previous chapters have outlined the essential information about dark seduction as a concept and the people who practice it. It is now time to delve deep into specific components of this effective art form - and where better to start than the approach? An approach is simply the way in which a seducer transitions from not interacting to someone to interacting with them. This chapter will explore the range of openers seducers use to initiate the process of seduction. The reasons why each approach works and the dangers it carries will be thoroughly explained. Actual examples of each type of approach will be given where possible. It is important for a student of dark seduction to not over or under appreciate the importance of the approach. Because it is the first point of the interaction, the approach sometimes receives an unduly high amount of attention from people who are learning about dark seduction. Some people obsess over the ‘perfect approach’ while losing sight of the fact that an approach really has one simple process - to begin the lengthy process of seduction. Some newcomers mistake an approach for seduction, rather than seeing it for what it is - the start of a seduction. Equally, it is important to not overlook the approach, and make the mistake of assuming that any approach will do. While it is important to understand that almost anything can and occasionally work as the initial point of a seduction, there are better and worse choices for different occasions. There is no point in jeopardizing the chance of furthering a potentially fruitful seduction for the sake of being unable to use approaches properly. Types Of Approach Direct and Indirect Largely speaking, the two main types of approaches which can be used in the pursuit of seduction are direct and indirect. The key difference between the two is a direct approach conveys, to one extent or another, the fact that the seducer has some kind of attraction or interest in their target. An indirect approach, on the other hand, is intended to go under the radar and allow the seducer to begin an interaction without ‘showing their hand’, so to speak. Both types of approach can work, as long as the seducer knows how, and when, to effectively use them. An example of a direct approach would be walking up to a stranger and saying something like ‘Hi, you looked interesting so I had to come and introduce myself’. The seducer has shown mild interest in their target by doing this but hasn’t put themselves out there too much. ‘You looked interesting’ conveys a small amount of interest but still leaves some ambiguity as to the seducer’s true intentions. Direct approaches can be very direct - for example ‘You look sexy as fuck tonight, what’s your name?’ This is a very high risk, high reward approach to take. On the one hand, a lot of people will be put off by the bluntness of the approach. On the other, some people will respond well to the directness, and will stay in the interaction. If people choose to remain in an interaction following a very direct approach, it is a good sign that they will be interested in taking things further. All of the cards are already on the table. A very direct approach can therefore be used as a way for the seducer to save time by removing any pretense from the interaction. Direct approaches require a strong level of inner game on behalf of the seducer. There is nothing more incongruent, and therefore off putting, as when a seducer chooses to say something direct, but does so in a tone of voice or with body language that conveys they do not really believe what they are saying. Direct approaches can and should only be used effectively by seducers who have their inner game handled to a high level in terms of beliefs, reference experiences etc. The fastest way to get rejected is to try a direct approach without having the internal aspects of seduction handled. An indirect approach is any verbal opener which does not show interest straight away. A common but incorrect belief about indirect and direct openers is that some types of opener are always direct whereas some are always indirect. This is rarely the case. For example, a question like ‘did you see the guy with a top hat earlier?’ may seem to be indirect. After all, it is an innocent enough question. However, depending upon the tone of voice it is delivered in, the eye contact of the seducer, their body language and so forth, this type of opener could be either direct or indirect. Indirect approaches are a wise choice when it is felt, due to either a seducer’s reading of their target, or due to the seducer's own internal state at the time, that a target would be put off by a direct approach. Perhaps it is relatively early in the evening, perhaps the seducer is looking to get into a more social state of mind before ‘going direct’, perhaps the target is with her friends and would respond badly to a direct opener through fear of social pressure and being judged. Whatever the reason, an indirect opener bestows the benefit of allowing an interaction to begin from a neutral, rather than an interested standpoint. The downside to choosing to use an indirect opener is that it can waste the time of both the seducer and the target. Sometimes, a target will be perfectly willing to respond in a friendly way to an indirect opener, but will respond badly when the seducer attempts to move the interaction in a more intimate direction. Due to this, if a seducer chooses to use an indirect opener, they need to be attuned to the responses they are getting in order to gauge whether there is the potential to generate sexual chemistry with the target, or whether they are not in that state of mind, and are therefore a waste of time. Situational Situational openers are a type of verbal opener which makes reference to the situation in which the seducer and the target find themselves. An example would be a comment on the venue, the time of year, someone or something that is happening in the venue, or any other reference to the shared present moment. Some examples include ‘why is it so boring here tonight?’, ‘is this the best this town has to offer?’ or ‘why is the DJ braindead?’ Anything which makes reference to the present situation is a form of situational opener. Most of the time, situational openers tend to be indirect. It is possible to turn them direct by mixing some intent, a sign of interest, into either the verbal or nonverbal content of the situational opener. For example, by saying ‘what’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?’ is a way to make a situational opener slightly direct. Alternatively, it is possible to make a situational opener direct by entirely nonverbal means, such as by saying ‘the music here is epic’ but in a tone of voice and with eye contact that shows sexual intent. Some of the advantages to using a situational opener include it creates a sense of shared reality between the seducer and the target. For example, if a girl looks bored, or excited, the situational opener can be tweaked to create a sense of instant rapport between target and seducer. Alternatively, the situational opener can be used to challenge or even tease the target, as this can be a good way of generating some friction, tension and attraction. Situational openers are also good insofar as they don’t allow for harsh, personal rejections most of the time. A situation is fairly safe territory - it is difficult for a target to respond excessively badly to a situational opener. The advantages of situational openers are also their downsides. Just as a situational opener is unlikely to result in a harsh rejection, it is also somewhat unlikely to result in a great positive response. Situational openers are also often used by people who are not skilled in the art of seduction. To be used effectively by dark seducers, they must therefore be delivered in a way which is in accordance with the other concepts of dark seduction, or used as a fleeting icebreaker which the dark seducer then moves on from, proceeding to later aspects of the seductive process. Functional Functional openers are rarely if ever used by dark seducers. They are included here as an example of how average people choose to approach a seductive encounter something dark seducers certainly are not. However, like almost every rule, functional openers can be used in an unconventional, effective way by dark seducers - this will also be shown here. What exactly is a functional opener? It is a way of starting a conversation which focuses on a function or action other than the conversation itself. For example, asking for the time, a cigarette lighter or directions is a functional opener. Many people who do not have knowledge of seduction use this type of opener and then magically assume the interaction will proceed, of its own accord, into more seductive territory. This is far from the case. The one way in which a dark seducer might, rarely, choose to use a functional opener is a way of almost planting a seed in a target’s mind. They may open them functionally, but do so with enough sub communication, in terms of tone of voice or eye contact, to spark some interest or intrigue in the target’s mind. The seducer’s purpose is to elicit a response of curiosity from their target, which the seducer is able to instantly and accurately deduce. If a dark seducer does this well, they may, for example, ask their target for a lighter, use it, and then walk off. In that time, however, they have judged their target’s initial interest levels, and can leave with the thought of ‘they are interested, I can always come back to them later’. Opinion The opinion opener is a style of opener popularized in the seduction text ‘The Game’. It is almost a cliché at this point and is rarely if ever used in an unironic way by actual seducers. Don’t discount it fully, however - an opinion opener can still work, and is a good way of helping someone gain the initial reference experiences they need to get good at seduction, and move onto riskier and more complex types of openers. The opinion opener basically revolves around asking a stranger for their opinion on a subject, usually under the pretext of solving some kind of debate or conversation a group of friends have been having. Some classic examples include ‘I need an opinion on something who would win in a fight Superman or Batman?’ or ‘I need a quick opinion to settle an argument with my friends over there - why are older men often seen as attractive?’ The opinion opener is intended to be neutral and not convey any particular interest on behalf of the seducer - and also panders to the ego of most people who want to feel as if their views and ideas matter. Sometimes, seducers will use opinion openers in a way which is modified to their target - for example, if their target appears to be into rock music, the seducer may ask for an opinion related to this area. This builds a sense of rapport and commonality between seducer and target. As stated, the popularity of opinion openers reached such a prevalence that many targets will recognize an opinion opener as a kind of prepackaged pickup line and find it stupid and unimaginative. If you are approached by someone asking for your opinion, you are almost certainly dealing with someone who is attempting a seduction. If, on the other hand, you want to try out this type of opener, be sure to be original and switch your wording up. Don’t ask for an opinion instead say something like ‘help me out’ or ‘what do you think about this’. Don’t ask for some premade topic you read in a book or online create your own topics to talk about. Physical Physical openers are about the most direct, most advanced and most risky type of approach there is. Opening physically is not usually suggested for someone starting out in the field of seduction. There are different types of ways to open a target physically, and each has a slightly different set of purposes behind it, and a different way of being carried out. The most direct way of opening physically is to extend your hand towards the target, and then sort of firmly but smoothly pull them towards you. This needs to be done in a very calm, non-threatening but certain way that conveys supreme confidence. If this is done from a place of nerves or lack of confidence it will fail 100% of the time. For this reason, only the more advanced and confident seducers tend to open in this way. A safer, less intense version of the physical open is the high five. This should be delivered in a fun, playful way. Often, the seducer will high five their target and then clasp their hand and attempt to briefly hold hands. This can be a good way of judging right away how comfortable the target is with physical contact. The key mistake a seducer tends to make with this high five physical open is to get angry or hurt if it doesn’t work as intended. As explained in earlier chapters, a seducer always needs to keep calm and carry on, no matter what. Whenever a target doesn’t react as intended, just move on like it didn’t happen. Always be cool. Silent The silent opener is almost a gimmick that advanced seducers sometimes carry out purely to show they are able to. It is not widely used. A silent open basically involves initiating contact and creating intrigue through just gesture, eye contact and touch. There are videos in circulation of this type of open working well indeed skilled seducers are able to proceed from an open to a kiss without saying a word. The silent opener is not intended to become a widely used part of the toolkit of most seducers - instead it shows the power of non-verbal seduction. Seeing this in action, either online or in person, is a great way to really grasp the power of not using words in pursuit of seduction. Breaking Black Ice The ultimate key to approaching and opening is to never lose sight of its purpose - to initiate an interaction. If the seducer is able to generate some measure of excitement, arousal or intrigue by using their opener, this is an added bonus. However, for an opener to be effective, it simply needs to set the stage for a longer interaction to continue subsequently. As a seducer gains more experience in carrying out seductive interactions, they will gain a feel for different types of openers, when and how to use them, and the ways in which they should be carried out and the times they are best suited to. The knowledge in this chapter can be used as either a training manual for seducers or as a means for recognizing when an attempted seduction is being carried out on you. As stated at the start of the chapter, focusing too much on the approach is a key mistake. Think of seduction as being like a movie. The opening scene is cool and important - but you don’t walk out after it. It is merely the start. Read on to experience the rest of the dark seductive journey - next stop, creating emotional chaos. Chapter 6: Creating Emotional Chaos The previous chapter dealt with the initial stage of a dark seductive encounter. This chapter deals with an aspect of seduction which runs like a vein through every stage of a seduction - the manipulation and mastery of the emotions of the target. We will now examine how a seducer sees emotion as being like clay, or another form of creative material, which the seducer is able to shape and use in the creation of their seductive art. Specific ways in which emotions are influenced, understood and out and out manipulated will be explored and examined. The contents of this chapter are incredibly powerful. Like all powerful knowledge, it is up to you and how you apply it. Whether as a shield with which to protect yourself, or as a weapon to gain conquests - the choice is yours. Why Emotions Matter Simply put, humans are creatures of emotion more than logic, particularly within the area of seduction and romance. As the famous maxim goes, ‘attraction is not a choice’. Feelings of arousal and desire are not something we consciously choose - they simply arise within us as a response to stimulus from outside of us. Being able to manipulate and mold a target’s emotions is therefore an aspect of a seducer’s arsenal which cannot be ignored. People are bored. Why else do you think people enter high stimulus social environments such as nightclubs and bars? People are looking for a distraction from their everyday life. Most people are unsatisfied by their lives in one way or another. Some people are genuinely looking to escape deep level problems they have - like unhappiness with how their life is turning out or unhappiness with who they are and what they have managed to achieve in life. Other people don’t have anything as serious as this - they are simply in need of distraction. Either way, most people can be seen as having some type of emotional void, or need, which a seducer is able to fulfill. One classic view of seduction is that a seducer is able to become whatever is needed at that precise moment in their target’s life. This is a key aspect of dark seduction in particular - the ability to be a shadowy chameleon, able to adapt one’s form and personality to whatever is required to seduce the target at that point in time. A later chapter of this book deals with the seductive shadow aspect of the game in detail - for now it is enough to know it exists. Another reason why so many effective seducers focus on emotion is due to the fact that people often use their emotions as an excuse to override their emotions. People will do things that go against their logic and reason if it ‘feels right’ in the heat of the moment. Seducers can therefore use extreme emotional feelings to persuade targets to do things they would not otherwise do if they were guided entirely by their rationality and reason. If a seducer is able to effectively understand the emotions of their target it instantly puts them ahead of 99% of the competition. The vast majority of people are utterly unable to understand or interpret their own emotions. People are often confused and out of touch with what they really think and feel. Someone who seems to understand them better than they understand themselves - in other words an effective dark seducer - is therefore incredibly attractive and hard to resist. Emotional Spikes With the previous concept of people desiring an emotional experience, and trying to escape emotional mundaneness, in mind, let’s examine the concept of emotional spikes. Picture a graph with two axis. The horizontal axis represents the 0, neutral point of emotional experience - most people’s emotions sit in or around this level. Throughout the course of a typical day, people’s emotional graphs may move slightly into above or below the horizontal axis. Moving above represents positive emotions, below, negative emotions. It is rare that people experience any strong emotion in the course of their average day. A dark seducer making use of emotional mastery understands the value in spiking a person’s emotional graph, either positively or negatively. By triggering either an unusually positive, or an unusually negative emotion, the seducer is instantly able to take the target outside the boundaries of their everyday existence. If, for example, the seducer is able to cause a strong negative or positive feeling, they are likely to stand out in the target’s mind as someone who is not of the ordinary. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Any strong emotional spike makes a seducer stand out, as discussed. The skilled seducer is aware that they cannot allow a target’s emotional state to remain static, or just move in one direction. Instead, the skilled dark seducer aims to alternate strong positive or negative emotion sequentially. Consider the following verbal opener: ‘You’re absolutely beautiful, if not a little unimaginative’. This alternating positive and negative emotional statement is likely to spike the target’s emotional graph upwards and then rapidly downwards. This strong alternating feeling is likely to cause confusion, attraction and intrigue in the target. Whatever they feel, they won’t feel bored. By simply making them feel not one but two strong emotions outside of their normal reality, the seducer is instantly valuable to the target - he has distracted them from their usual comfort zone, and people are always attracted to this, whether they want to be or not. Skilled seducers know the right amount to spike a target’s emotional graph. Too much is overload while too little is underkill. The best seducers are able to mix in what seems to be fairly regular conversation, in order to build comfort and familiarity, with a mixture of positive and negative emotional spikes, in order to build deep, irrational, emotional attraction. Many dark seducers take the approach of starting off with smaller spikes and then pushing things further as the interaction develops. Consider this in terms of a movie. Imagine the start of a movie featured a mixture of amazing action scenes (positive emotional spikes) and gut wrenching emotional scenes (negative emotional spikes). Imagine if after ten minutes this movie stopped this type of content and instead became mundane. Viewers would lose interest rapidly. Seduction is no different. Experienced seducers know they must spread their emotional spikes over the course of an interaction to avoid becoming a movie which entertains at the start and bores at the end. Ideally, the intensity of the emotional spikes caused by the seducer should increase in intensity until building to a clear climax such as going home together for sex, or securing a phone number through which to carry on an interaction at a later date. One of the most extreme, hard to pull off uses of the ‘emotional spike’ concept is an extreme emotional spike opener. This is associated with some of the most notorious names in the seduction community. It basically involves causing a severe positive and negative spike in quick succession but as an opener. The language and tonality of these openers is absolutely extreme and not for the faint of heart. An example would be: “You disgusting creature...I love you, come here”. 90% of seducers cannot pull this technique off effectively and shouldn’t try. For those who can, and there is video proof if you need it, the results are amazing. From the initial stages of an interaction, the target’s adrenaline is flowing, heart is pumping and their emotional intensity is running at a high level. This effectively ‘melts’ the target’s logic and puts them in an emotional dreamworld for the rest of the interaction. The Methods So far, this chapter has dealt with the way in which emotions are used as part of an effective seductive arsenal, and looked at a way of envisioning a target’s emotions as a graph, and how a seducer should aim to spike the graph positively and negatively as required at different points. Some of the ways in which positive and negative spikes can be created will now be explored and explained. Challenging Challenging is a way to create a mild negative emotional spike - a little bit of tension or intrigue which can help spice up an interaction and keep its emotional tone interesting. A challenge can be very mild and subtle or more overt. Let’s look at some examples of both ends of the spectrum. Skilled seducers can be very subtly challenging. For example, if a target is talking about their career, interests, or hobbies, a seducer may slightly raise an eyebrow and say ‘interesting’ in a tone of voice which has a slight hint of disapproval. This can cause a target to chase the approval of the seducer - giving power to the seducer and betraying the interest of the target in being seduced. Challenges can also be used in a more strong, overt way. This is often deployed by a seducer as a means of determining whether a target will chase their approval or whether they are confident in who they are - allowing the seducer to adjust the type of seduction they pursue as a result. For example, if a target states an opinion about something, the seducer may say something like ‘actually you’re wrong, that’s not a good (band/color/restaurant/degree/anyth Some targets will respond with ‘yeah you’re right, I don’t actually like it that much’. This shows they are insecure and crave the seducer’s approval. The seducer will then capitalize on this knowledge in their pursuit of emotional manipulation over the remaining course of the interaction. Interest and Disinterest Alternating interest and disinterest is a way in which a seducer is able to keep a target invested in an interaction and provide them with positive and negative emotional spikes. When some newcomer seducers hear that interest and disinterest should be alternated, they fall into the trap of doing so mechanically - e.g. one comment of interest, followed by one comment of disinterest, followed by one comment of interest, and so forth. This is a huge, huge mistake. Instead, alternative interest and disinterest should be used organically, creatively and playfully. There is no mechanical, magical formula or ratio a seducer should follow - instead, they should feel free to alternate as and when they see it. Regardless of the frequency of interest and disinterest, the purpose is always the same - to keep a target’s attention. Consider the alternative to this technique. If a seducer shows only disinterest, the target will become bored, and will seek to leave the interaction. If the seducer shows only interest, the target will become uninspired and uninterested. At its core, seduction is the process of making the target feel as if they have earned the approval of the seducer. It is a lot more appealing and enjoyable for a target if they are able to feel as if they have really, genuinely impressed the seducer. Skilled seducers know this, and are able to create a genuine rollercoaster ride through their use of interest and disinterest, approval and disapproval. Failure to alternate interest and disinterest in an effective way is one of the main reasons why a lot of seducers end up falling into the friend zone. If they are consistently nice and positive and interested, the target ends up taking them for granted. It is boring. There is no challenge, nothing special. The target does not feel the seducer is high status or discerning - they are not a prize. This goes against mainstream thinking but also explains the common complaint of men that ‘women always go for the douche bags, they never go for nice guys like me’. Nice guys finish last, because nice guys are insufferably dull. Be interesting. You owe it to yourself and to your target. The Mundane and The Magical Think about an epic piece of music perhaps a metal classic with an awesome guitar solo somewhere in the song. What makes such a song so great? It is because it knows how to mix in the spectacular with the standard. If the entire song consisted of a series of epic guitar solos, and nothing else, it would sound ridiculous. Similarly, think of a gourmet meal. It might feature an epic, indulgent, elaborate dessert. But are all the courses of this nature? No. If they were, it would be over the top. Too much. No one would want to eat a meal like this. These analogies directly describe a major mistake a lot of seducers make - trying to do too much. A lot of seducers operate under the false belief that they have to put on a show from the word go until their target is in bed. They are always trying to say the perfect, witty thing or run game according to some strange, fantastical blueprint they have developed in their mind. This is such a mistake, for more than one reason. First of all, behavior like this comes across as trying hard and is always a turn off for the target. Second, game is not something showy or spectacular. As discussed earlier, the best seducers seduce in a way which is not obviously ‘anything’ to observers. It is subtle and hard to pinpoint. Trying to do too much is a huge mistake to be avoided at all costs. Alternatively, some seducers make the mistake of playing it safe and doing too little. Like almost every aspect of dark seduction, this is something that must be understood and known through experience as opposed to simply through knowledge. Having the proper knowledge is an essential starting point - but putting it into action, and witnessing the ideas firsthand, is vital to build the reference experiences that were earlier stated to be a vital component of inner seduction. Ideally, the experienced seducer will carry out their seductive process pursuing two aims at the same time. First, they will be trying to create a sense of connection and comfort with their target. This is achieved through the mundane the sharing of factual experiences, information about each other’s lives and other similar topics of rapport building chat. This, on its own, will lead to a friendly connection and nothing more. Instead, a good seducer needs to use ‘the magical’ as a spice to vary the mundane. These are the emotional gambits, discussed above and elsewhere, that are able to create intense emotions that stem beyond comfort and rapport, and instead make a target feel a strong sense of attraction as well. When there is both attraction and comfort, physical seduction can then take place. The mundane and the magical must be deployed properly in order to achieve this eventual aim. Reading The Emotional Matrix So far, this chapter has focused on the general theory behind the emotional element of dark seduction, and then looked at specific ways in which a target’s emotions can be influenced by a seducer, and the right way to do this. It is important to understand that the influential aspect of emotion is only one component - it is vital to have a strong analytic component as well. When a lot of seducers are starting out, they make the error of thinking only in terms of what they want to do - not what the target needs to happen. This may sound like a strange distinction, but it is a vital one. It is important for a dark seducer to be like water - able to change shape, form and direction in response to what is in front of it. Let’s compare two examples in order to show how some seducers are able to vary their approach and some are not. Some seducers, often newcomers, but many times experienced seducers who have not made proper progress in their pursuit of the seductive art form, think only in terms of their own intentions. For example, their thought process during a seductive interaction would be something like ‘I want to spike their emotions positive, now negative, now I want to show disinterest, now I want to get physical’. Their thoughts are only on what they want to do, without any thought to their target in the moment. Better seducers think not in terms of ‘what do I want to do?’ but in terms of ‘what needs to be done?’ They are like experienced chess players who are able to read the best move based on the situation in any given moment. Through experience, and countless reference experiences, elite dark seducers will always know when it is time to spike positive, and when it is time to spike negative. The know the exact emotional response they need to get to move the interaction forward, and the verbal or physical move in their repertoire that is most likely to cause such a response. Order From Chaos As this chapter has shown, the importance of emotional manipulation and influence cannot be overstated in the realm of dark seduction. Next, we will explore the verbal methods by which seducers influence their target in great depth. When reading the next chapter, try and relate it in your mind back to the contents of this chapter. Don’t think of verbal seduction as an isolated idea - rather as a means to influencing emotion in the way described in this section of the book. Chapter 7: Evil Verbal Energy When used by a dark seducer, words have a power and impact that they would not otherwise have. Think of a dark seducer as like a virtuoso master of an instrument. They use the same words as normal people, just as a musical master uses the same instrument with the same notes. The mastery is not from the material used - in this case, words - but from the ability and skill of the person using them. As briefly mentioned earlier in this book, words are one of the key outer aspects of dark seduction. This chapter will explore the topic of verbal game in much greater depth. Specific ways in which words are used by some of the greatest seducers to ever walk the Earth will not only be exposed but also explained. You won’t be given only what works - but also, more importantly, why it works. The concepts and ideas in this chapter transcend the sphere of seduction alone. If you pay attention to this chapter, and apply the ideas it contains, you will have an advantage in many areas of life, not just seduction. Whether you choose to make use of the verbal techniques presented within for your own purposes, or whether you choose to be on guard for others using them against you, is up to you. The material contained in this chapter is deeply powerful. If you are going to use it for yourself, do so with caution and care. These techniques really do work and many people end up with more than they bargained for when using them. Be warned. Blackest Ink First of all, before examining specific verbal techniques used in dark seduction, it is important to realize what makes the dark use of words different from the way in which verbal game is used by mainstream seducers, and those without dark seductive knowledge. Many people are aware that words can be immensely powerful in their pursuit of the opposite sex - but don’t actually know how or why certain verbal techniques work. As a result, they blindly accept ideas on the basis of faith or trust, rather than seeking out any evidence or proof that they really do work. This is deeply dangerous and must be avoided at all costs. Perhaps the core principle underpinning every verbal technique or concept that exists within dark seduction is ‘test everything’. Never assume anything works until you have tried it out for yourself. Don’t ever listen to what has worked for someone else and assume it will work for you. A related idea to the above is to never ever think that you understood something if you have merely read about it and ‘understood’ it through knowledge alone. It is not enough to simply know something intellectually - you have to know how it actually feels, in the heat of the moment, to carry out a verbal technique and watch its desired impact manifest before your eyes. Until you have used and witnessed the result of a verbal technique for yourself, you don’t truly know what it actually is about or actually entails. Another point of differentiation between dark seductive vocabulary and regular seductive vocabulary is the intention behind the use of language. Many people choose to use seductive words for love of the language itself. Think of the traditional concept of someone writing a love song, or a love letter, or whispering sweet words into the idea of their beloved. Often, people carry out such clichéd, ineffective gestures for their own sake. They think the words alone matter and such outdated and idiotic techniques contain some merit. They are wrong. Dark seducers, on the other hand, realize that words are nothing but collections of letters. They are mere symbols. The words don’t matter the psychological and emotional impact they have upon those who receive them is all that counts. Words in and of themselves are nothing more than lines of ink on a page or sounds made by a tongue and throat. In isolation, they are empty. Words are mere tools in the hands of dark seducers. This viewpoint of verbal seduction as nothing more than a means to an end is a key hallmark of the dark seductive philosophy. This understanding of words as mere vehicles, as nothing more than tools, leads to several subsequent understandings for intelligent students of dark seduction. Freed by the realization that words are meaningless without a reaction, the dark seducer is liberated to use any words they want. Whatever happens to get them to where they want to go, whichever words cause the desired impact on the target - these are the right words. Think of words as food. Food is effectively intended to fulfill one or more of several purposes nutrition, satisfaction or enjoyment. With this in mind, almost any food can work in this area. However, people cling on to a fixed of idea of ‘the right food’. For example, how many foods are ‘breakfast foods’? Why should this be so? Such arbitrary distinctions stem from nothing but blind tradition. Verbal seduction is similar. Some people think there is a ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ way to speak to a seduction target. Incorrect. There is only effective or ineffective. Any desire for seduction to look or sound a certain way is nothing more than a naive, idealistic, childish longing on the behalf of the person with this misguided viewpoint. Now that the dark seductive viewpoint on language and its purpose and form has been clearly stated, let’s look at some specific ways in which language is used in pursuit of seductive success. 26 Letters, Infinite Approaches The flexibility and freedom that dark seduction grants the seductive linguist has been clearly stated. This is essential to keep in mind when reading these techniques. Some newcomers to the world of dark seduction get stuck in the trap of assuming that fixed techniques actually matter in and of themselves. They don’t. They are just means to an end. If the following techniques work for you, great. Use them. If they don’t, modify them. Adapt them. Find something that does work. The technique is not important. The outcome is all that matters. Magic Names Finding a magic, special name to call a seductive target is a powerful verbal hallmark of many great seducers. To illustrate this concept, think back through one of two examples - your own life, or many of the great works of film or literature you have ever enjoyed. How often did someone special, either in your own life, or in a film you love, have a nickname for someone that was close to them? A special name that was shared only between those two people and no one else? You can make use of this concept to create a special bond between yourself and a seduction target within a short time of meeting them. The difference between a skilled seducer and an average seducer reading about this technique is as follows. An average seducer will read that coming up with a special nickname for a target is powerful, and then will proceed to give them any old name, thinking a name alone is enough. A skillful seducer will go further and use this technique in a refined form. So what is this advanced level of application? The best seducers don’t just give their targets a special pet nickname - they give them one that really counts. This can have a variety of logic underpinning it. One option is to choose a nickname about something the target is playfully insecure about - for example, if they have freckles, call them freckles. If they stammered when you spoke to them, call them stutters. Note, this should be done in a playful, teasing way, as opposed to a cruel name. Another option is to create a name based around a private in-joke you and your target have shared - by using such a name, it creates a feeling of bond and a special ‘us against the world’ perspective for you and your target. A final note on magic names - don’t overuse them. Don’t refer to the name in every text message, and every time you see them. Use the name sparingly. Whenever you use it, it should produce a good reaction. If a name seems to be losing its power, drop it. Trying to force this verbal technique, or any other, is a fast way to seem socially inept, and lose any attraction you have managed to create with your target. Callback Humor This is a seductive technique lifted straight from the world of standup comedy. It basically involves taking one reference or idea that you and your target found funny together, and then sprinkling it back into the conversation now and then, in order to retrigger the feeling of humor and closeness you shared. For example, if something amusing happened to the two of you in a particular venue, you might say something in the future like ‘it’s a shame we’re not at x venue’. Or, if your target mispronounces something, you can refer to their mispronunciation in a deadpan way in the future. Like any of the verbal techniques here, use callback humor sparingly. Trying to overuse something will come across as phony, fake and a turnoff. It should also be something that produced a genuine, honest reaction of humor in your target not something they politely pretended to find funny for the sake of appeasing you. Their Secret Words Every individual walking this planet has their own background with relation to language. Words they use at different times and in different ways. This can be shown through a really simple example. Think of a simple word like ‘great’. One person may only use it sincerely - when they say ‘great’, they truly feel positively about something. Another person may exclusively use ‘great’ to show sarcasm, disdain or bitter feeling. The point is that different people can use the same word in a variety of different ways. When interacting with a target, it is vital for a dark seducer to figure out exactly the way in which a target is using words. This analytical ability is a key part of verbal game. Over time, dark seducers will notice a consistent pattern emerging everyone they interact with will have a few words in their vocabulary which appear to have special significance for them. People usually use these out of habit and are not aware they are doing it. For example, a person may use the word ‘epic’ regularly - but only when they are truly in a state of peak happiness. The best dark seducers are able to pick up on these ‘secret words’ and then use them to create a sense of connection and similarity with their target. Of all the verbal techniques in this chapter, this is the one to use most sparingly. It is the most obviously manipulative, and if the target is aware it is being carried out, it will often instantly break the spell the seducer has created. When done subtly, and infrequently, however, it can really create a deep level of verbal influence between the seducer and their target. Beyond Words The core message of this chapter has been consistently stated - words don’t matter - their meaning and impact does. One of the key ways of influencing the impact of words is by modifying the way in which they are spoken or written. The emotion and intent behind words is equally as important as the words themselves. For example, depending on how it is said, the phrase ‘fuck off’ can mean anything from ‘I hate you’ to ‘I playfully am having fun with you’. Dark seducers are always careful to say things in an effective way, as a result of this. One of the things that sets dark seducers apart from other people is their ability to speak in a measured way which is almost hypnotic to listen to. Words are likely to be spaced carefully and spoken in a deep, resonant tone which is pleasant to listen to. Many dark seducers listen to public speakers of great impact and carefully modify their method of verbal delivery to match what these great speakers have shown to be effective in the past. Others match their tonality and rhythm to that of their target - a technique known as ‘verbal mirroring’ which is covered in the next chapter. Chapter 8: Mirror Of Madness Almost every aspect of dark seduction in this book comes down to one key aim - gaining influence over a target in order to eventually seduce them. In this chapter, the concept of building a deep level of rapport with a target is explored and explained. This is an old school concept which has its roots in NLP a discipline of influence used by top figures in the world of interpersonal influence such as Tony Robbins and Derren Brown. This specific means of gaining influence over a target is known as ‘mirroring’. You will now learn exactly what mirroring is, what the purpose behind it is, and the reason why it works. Different types of mirroring will be thoroughly stated in a way which is easy to understand. Finally, the main mistakes seducers make when attempting to make use of the mirroring idea will be clearly presented in order to avoid mistakes from taking place. The Basics At its core, mirroring involves consciously manipulating a feeling of rapport and similarity between a seducer and their target. This is intended to subconsciously make the target feel as if they have a deep sense of connection and compatibility with the seducer in a way which is inexplicable according to rational, conscious thought. This perhaps sounds fanciful and too good to be true. However, it really works, for the following reason. Mirroring takes place at a subconscious level. In fact, if a target becomes aware that a seducer is trying to influence them by carrying out one of the mirroring tactics mentioned in this chapter, then the technique loses its power and stops working entirely. Interestingly, mirroring is something human beings naturally do when they feel a sense of comfort and connection with one another. If you have doubts as to the truth of mirroring, keenly observe pairs of people when you are next out and about. You will notice that people who are spending time together often end up copying one aspect or another of the other person - such as their posture, their stance, the way in which they have folded their arms or the angle at which their head is tilted. This is proof that mirroring is a natural phenomenon which is hardwired into the human condition. The difference between dark seductive mirroring and the type which occurs in nature is that seductive mirroring is used consciously and with full intention of what is taking place by the seducer in order to manipulate their target into feeling an unnatural sense of connection with them. This results in the target putting power and influence in the hands of the seducer without being aware they have even done so. There are various types of mirroring, which are described below, but the basic concept is the same. The seducer starts by slowly and subtly copying a minor aspect of the target’s speech or physicality. The seducer then copies more and more elements. Eventually, the seducer attempts to change something, such as their posture or pace of words, and pays careful attention to whether the target takes the cue and follows the lead. If a target begins mirroring the seducer, it basically gives the go ahead to the seducer to carry out any influence they wish to. The target has already betrayed the fact they feel a deep, subconscious level of rapport with the seducer, and are therefore far more likely to receive their verbal commands on a deep level, and comply with any physical actions the seducer wishes to carry out. Verbal Mirroring One interesting thing about verbal mirroring is you may have noticed it taking place outside of the area of seduction. This usually occurs when two people are interacting and one is seeking to gain the approval of the other. This is not carried out on a conscious level - it simply happens without the person realizing they are doing it, and often without the person who is being mirrored realizing what is taking place. For example, if you notice two people talking, and one is using certain slang terms, the other may begin to use them. Similarly, if one person has a regional accent and the other does not, the person without an accent may begin to speak with a strange twang. Verbal mirroring is therefore a phenomenon that is encoded into human behavior. As a result of it being natural, it makes it very difficult for people to detect and understand. We are hardwired to do it, and see it as normal. Due to this, unless it is carried out extremely badly, it should go undetected. So what are some of the main ways that verbal mirroring can take place? The best starting point for verbal mirroring is the pace of speech. Almost no-one is aware of the pace at which they speak, and the rhythm of their diction. As a result, it is possible to imitate the other without them realizing it is happening. As with every other mirroring technique in this chapter, it should be carried out slowly and subtly at first. This is particularly true if there is naturally a gulf in the way in which the two people speak. For example, if a seducer speaks quite slowly, and the target speaks quite quickly, it is important for the seducer to gradually increase their speaking pace, in small increments, until they have caught up with the pace of their target. Going from a slow pace to a fast pace in almost no time at all is incredibly jarring and greatly increases the risk of being detected by the target. Aside from the pace of speech, other aspects of verbal mirroring include the intonation used by the target. Sometimes, targets will tend to place an unusual or distinctive verbal stress on the words they use. If the seducer is able to pick up on this vocal signature, and mimic it, it can be a good way of building a sense of rapport with the victim. The frequency of speech is another aspect that can be verbally mirrored. Some people are very talkative - others less so. You will know from your own personal experience that being around someone who talks a lot more or a lot less than you do can be an annoying or difficult experience. Seducers are aware of this and will therefore adjust the frequency of their talk to match that of their target. It is important to note that verbal mirroring can work over text message and email in a similar way as it does via speech. Good seducers will mirror the type of language their target uses in a text, down to aspects such as complexity of vocabulary, sentence length, format, choice of greeting and type of punctuation used. By doing so, when reading the written communication, the target automatically thinks ‘this is my kind of person’ without being consciously aware of where the feeling of rapport is stemming from. Physical Mirroring Physical mirroring can relate to both gesture, expression and appearance. This can be the most subtle type of mirroring to gain some initial results with when starting out in this dark seductive technique. When attempting physical mirroring for the first time, it is a good idea to start out small, and work up. For example, a small movement of the head or the hand is a good trial by which to try out whether a target is ready to start copying your own movements, showing you have gained subconscious rapport over them. Mirroring aspects of a person’s physical appearance is a high risk, high reward type of technique. On the one hand, it has been shown that people have a subconscious preference for people who dress and look like them. This has been shown by a range of scientific studies. On the other hand, if someone picks up on the fact you are trying to imitate their appearance, they are likely to be repulsed rather than attracted. Like the other forms of mirroring mentioned, it is therefore vital to try and carry this out in a subtle and under the radar way. Mirroring Mistakes To Avoid The above section of this chapter goes into some of the basics of mirroring and the types of mirroring which can be carried out. You will now be presented with a run through of the main mirroring mistakes to avoid. Mirroring, when done badly, is a quick way to destroy trust, rapport and influence between a seducer and their target. Any or all of the following is a death sentence for superior seduction. Too Much Mirroring needs to be used as icing on the cake rather than the cake itself. Some people get overly excited by the idea of mirroring and think of it as some kind of superpower of mind control. It isn’t. It’s just a way of improving the level of rapport and influence that exists between seducer and target, and allowing the seducer a way to judge how their seductive intent is progressing, and whether it is working as intended. Trying to mirror everything is stupid and a waste of energy. Any good seducer knows that there are many aspects of the seductive process they need to be aware of. If they are trying to mirror every aspect of a target’s physicality and verbality, the seducer will not be able to focus on anything else. Mirroring is ‘a’ technique rather than ‘the’ technique. Treat it as such. Too Soon Mirroring is something which should be eased into, rather than used from the initial minute the interaction begins. At the start of a seductive interaction, most targets have their guard up. They are therefore more alert and conscious and, as a result, more likely to notice that mirroring is taking place. Instead of trying to mirror their target right away, the skilled seducer first gains some kind of other emotional influence over their target, and ensures they have some degree of trust and comfort. Mirroring can then be used to deepen that trust, rather than to create it initially. Too Often Anyone who has ever used mirroring efficiently - in other words has effectively mirrored, led, and watched the target respond well - knows it is a powerful feeling. This can lead to dark seducers doing it purely to feel powerful - rather than using it as a means to an end. Like any other technique in this book, dark seduction relies upon doing things purely for a purpose, rather than for their own sake. Don’t fall into the trap of mirroring as some kind of game. It exists only to further the seductive process. Look Beyond The Mirror This chapter has shown the possibility of creating advanced levels of rapport and influence using verbal and physical tactics. In our next chapter, you will learn how to create a deep sense of comfort and familiarity with a target in a short space of time. The next chapter is the closest thing to time travel. Read on to discover how master dark seducers are able to addict a target to them within an astoundingly short space of time. Chapter 9: Time Distorted Seduction As you’ve already learned, one of the keys setting dark seducers apart from regular people in their approach to seduction is their ability to do whatever it takes. One manifestation of this is the fact that many dark seducers are able to cause a deep connection and a high level of chemistry with a seduction target within a very short space of time. Dark seducers are able to make their targets feel strong emotions and a sense of rapport that enables far more rapid progress through the seductive process than other people are able to achieve. This chapter focuses purely on the techniques and tactics that dark seducers have with the intention of speeding up the process of their seduction. The precise methods used will be exposed in full and the psychological reasoning for their effectiveness will be clearly stated. What this knowledge amounts to is an almost supernatural ability to distort time and the perception of time, to the dark seducer’s advantage. Slow and Steady Does Not Win The Race One of the traditional viewpoints on seduction that exists within mainstream thought is the desirability of taking things slow and not rushing. Largely speaking, this misconception that most people have comes down to one of three factors - a limiting belief stating that faster progress is not possible, a moral belief that going quicker during a pursuit is somehow wrong, or the fact that the mainstream seducer has never questioned the status quo and even considered whether there is another, more efficient path to seduction. One of the key mistakes people make, as a result of the above limitations, is plotting out their romance ahead of time. They may try and hold hands on the second date, kiss on the third, invite the other person home on the fifth or some other such nonsense. This is ridiculous. Sexual chemistry between people is not something so predictable or easy to make linear. Dark seducers know this. A skilled seducer knows that if something can happen slowly, over a period of time, there are ways to accelerate the process, and get what they want sooner. A Lifetime In An Evening The extent to which dark seducers deploy the following techniques depend upon two things - how fast they want the interaction to move, and how much they feel the target will require a distorted sense of time to feel comfortable enough to give the seducer what they want. Like any other technique in this book, skilled dark seducers use it as a careful, adjusted art form, rather than as a lazy, one size fits all type sledgehammer approach. If a dark seducer decides that someone they have just met is the type of person they want to progress a seduction with as quickly as possible, they are likely to begin leading and moving the person around from almost the moment of meeting them. This can literally begin within minutes - the seducer will say something along the lines of ‘let’s stand over there’ or ‘let’s go outside and get some fresh air’. As the evening progresses, the seducer may propose venue switches, saying something like ‘this place is boring, let’s go to this other place’ or ‘let’s go get some food’. Basically, as you see from the above, the seducer aims to move their target around as much as possible in the course of a short space of time. This may sound simple but, like most techniques in this book, the complexity stems from the execution of the tactic, rather than the tactic itself. If you notice in the verbal examples above, the seducer never asks, but always states. This helps to establish the seducer as a commanding, leading figure. This is known as ‘establishing the frame’. It is not enough for the seducer’s words alone to be authoritative - it is essential for the seducer’s tone of voice to be solid and their body language to convey the fact that the seducer expects to be obeyed. People find it much easier to be led by someone who genuinely comes across as an authoritative leader anything other than this is incongruent and unappealing. So why does the above technique work? Basically, a target will feel as if they have known the seducer for far, far longer than they really have. Think about it - if a seducer and their target go to several different places together in the course of a few hours, rather than just sitting at one table in one restaurant like so many conventional dates, then in the target’s mind, the seducer is someone they have had a far greater range of experience with. This is how the human mind words. Time is deeply subjective. Creating the sensation of a lot of time spent together is just as effective, if not more effective, than actually spending that time together. Future Talk The previous section showed how the physical act of leading and moving a target around is one of the ‘seduction hacks’ used by dark seducers to create a deep sense of comfort and rapid familiarity with their target - the verbal equivalent of this will now be shown. It is important to note that the techniques are not mutually exclusive - they can and should be used in conjunction to amplify and intensify the effect they have. It sounds deceptively simple, but talking about a shared future can lead to a high level of comfort in the target’s mind that would not otherwise exist. There are two main approaches to this tactic - doing it seriously, and doing it from a place of humor. Each will now be shown, with examples. To make more serious talk of the future work effectively, the seducer will typically casually, and without acting like it’s a big deal, drop casual remarks about the future into the conversation. For example, if the target mentions a certain type of music or food they like, the seducer will say something like ‘oh there’s this epic place for that nearby, we’ll go there sometime’. This will be said in a very offhand manner and the seducer will then move on rapidly without dwelling on the topic, or even waiting for a response. Using the area of the future in a humorous way can also work well. This usually involves making absurd plans together. This is primarily used to create a sense of fun as well as comfort. The ridiculous plans can then form the basis of in-jokes which are used as part of a dark seducer’s verbal seduction - see the section on verbal seduction for more information on this usage. The Art of Time Travel As ever, the way in which the techniques are applied is more important than the techniques themselves. These are some of the key questions that dark seducers focus on when working with the topic of the future as part of verbal game 1. What do I want to achieve here? 2. What will this particular target, at this particular time, respond well to? 3. How is what I’ve tried so far being responded to, and do I need to adjust? Note that this is not a conscious process of questioning for the seducer - they aren’t manually crossing off items on a checklist. Instead, the seducer knows almost instinctively, due to endless experience, what they need to do in relation to any or all of these questions. As well as having a clear, justified intention based on the instinctive response to the above questions, a skilled seducer is also aware of what to do when something they try in this area doesn’t work out as intended. Let’s explore some responses to both types of roadblock - resistance to physical leading and resistance to verbal future planning. If the target of a seduction shows resistance to being led, either within a venue or to another venue, the first important thing is for the seducer to not react to this. The worst thing a seducer can do in this situation is to get angry, or annoyed, or lose their cool in any way whatsoever. Even a brief sign of facial anger can totally ruin the seduction and be difficult to recover from. Instead, the seducer should just smoothly continue with whatever verbal or physical game they are running at the time. The rejection to be led only becomes a big deal if the seducer treats it as such. If, however, a target repeatedly shows resistance to being led, even when their levels of comfort seem to have increased, or they have relaxed more, it is important for the seducer to reassess whether they are the best target to spend time on in that situation, or whether there are better ways to spend their time. Good seduction is never about forcing, or making anyone do anything they are uncomfortable with - it is simply about leading people into pleasurable experiences. Excessive resistance can show that a target is just not in the right headspace to be seduced on that occasion. If that’s the case, the seducer should politely move on. Resistance to verbal future talk is less of a big deal and more fun to overcome. If the seducer starts joking around or mentioning the future in a semi-serious way, and the target calls them out on it, there are a number of possible responses. The seducer may tease the target, something along the lines of ‘wow you must not talk to people that often if this is weird for you, how cute’. Sometimes, a seducer will simply shut down what the target says, by saying something like ‘OK’ and then moving on like it never happened. A final comic response is to exaggerate. So if a target is like ‘why do you want to see me so much in the future?’ the seducer may say something like ‘yeah, I want to see you SO badly, I want to see you tomorrow morning, and then every day after, and then we will get married next week, and move in together’ and so on. This should be done in an absurd, joking tone of voice in order to create fun and good feeling in the process. Chapter 10: Seductive Shadows The shadow element is one of the main aspects of dark seduction which sets it apart from more widely accepted and recognized seduction techniques. Most of the mainstream seduction advice states that you should ‘be yourself’ in order to attract the person you desire. The banality of this advice is bad enough but its ineffectiveness is even worse. The idea that there is a fixed ‘self’ to be runs contrary to truth and is also not a useful idea when pursuing a seductive target. In truth, people are capable of being almost anyone they want to be, and can change their behavior and perspective, often without being conscious of doing so, depending on the circumstances which are taking place at the time. Scientific experiments, including Zimbardo’s prison experiment and Milgram’s electric shock experiment, have shown that people are capable of changing the behaviors they exhibit depending on what is expected of them and the environment they are in. Seeing that human behavior has been shown to be malleable, not fixed, why not exploit this flexibility for one’s own gain? Dark seducers are enlightened enough to know that, since as there is no essential ‘them’, they may as well be whatever is needed within the course of any given interaction to get the target they desire. This chapter will look at some of the ways in which dark seducers adapt and display different sides of their personality and identity in order to provide the experience to the target that is most likely to result in the target complying with the seducer’s seductive intentions. Fill The Gaps The first thing that is needed from the dark seducer to make this aspect of seduction work, aside from a willingness to let go of any fixed notion of who they are, is the ability to find out what is missing from the life of their target. After all, seeing as the entire purpose of the ‘shadow’ aspect of game is to become whatever the other person needs, it is necessary to first find out what is currently lacking. The best seducers are able to do this through a mix of questions and intuition. It is obvious that a person will give some details about their life if they are asked. However, skilled seducers are not forced to rely on their verbal questioning alone. Instead, they read aspects of a target such as their body language, their life circumstances, their age, the general vibe they put across and so forth in order to determine things about them. The type of thing a dark seducer is trying to figure out is what kind of person the target is, what values they have, if they are generally happy with their life or not, if they are open or averse to risk and countless other factors. Different seducers have different approaches to the way in which they adapt themselves to their target. Some seducers will rely on emphasizing aspects of their own life which create a sense of rapport and commonality between them and their target. Others will aim to show that they are not only similar to their target, but an even better version. For example, if it is determined that the target values someone who is intelligent, the seducer will not only portray themselves as intelligent, but more intelligent than the target. Sometimes, a seducer will take a ‘safari’ approach to the shadow aspect of their seduction. What is meant by this? Basically, the seducer will show an exciting personality that the target may be excited to ‘visit and experience’ but would not want to spend time in on a longer basis, much like a safari. This type of shadowing is especially useful when the seducer is only trying to seduce their target on a short term basis. In order to determine exactly what ‘shape’ their shadow should take in the course of the interaction, some seducers will subtly try out different things and note which gets a reaction from their target. For example, a seducer may say something slightly intelligent, something else slightly obnoxious and something very friendly. Whichever aspect the target seems to connect with the most, and respond well to, is the element that the seducer will then focus on for the rest of the interaction. Shadows are an apt term for this chameleon like aspect of dark seduction as, just like real shadows, seducers constantly change depending on what is in front of them and the circumstances at the time. Sometimes the shadow will grow in size, other times it will shrink, and sometimes it will change shape entirely. Like every other technique in the dark seducer’s arsenal, there is no ‘on or off’ switch to the shadow technique - just times where it is used to a greater or lesser extent. The Power Of The Shadow The true power of this aspect of dark seduction, and the reason why it works so well, is due to the fact that it allows dark seducers to connect with almost anyone at almost any time. Contrast this adaptable approach with the approach of most people. Yes, every now and then, maybe once or twice in a lifetime, they will stumble across someone they have a connection with. Dark seducers, on the other hand, are able to precisely reverse engineer exactly what makes this connection take place, and make it happen as often as they want. Switching up the personality they portray at any given time is a key reason why seducers are able to play their seductive game for such prolonged periods of time. If seduction artists were going out night after night and trying the same things again and again it would soon cause them to become bored and quit the game entirely. By becoming shadows, and being adaptable, seduction artists are able to keep their own levels of personal motivation high. The shadow also gives a seducer a huge advantage in almost every other area of their life. By knowing exactly how they need to be around any given person, they are sure to form deep connections, or at least as deep as they desire, with a wide range of people in almost every area of life, whether personal, professional or purely friends. This means that the doors of social situations are always open to seducers who are able to use the shadow technique properly. Mixing Truth and Deception So far, if you have paid attention to this chapter and contemplated its ideas, you may have been left thinking that a dark seducer needs to be some kind of actor in order to have success with the shadow technique. This is partially the case, but not entirely. The best seducers don’t out and out invent personas on the spot - they instead find a grain of their own self which fits the persona they wish to portray, and amplify it. For example, let’s imagine, through a mixture of questioning and intuition, a dark seducer has determined that the best course of action is to show themselves to be a creative person. Instead of inventing some rough sketch of such a person, they would instead tap into their own creative side. They would emphasize and amplify the parts of their own personality, adding and exaggerating where needed, in order to appeal to the target they were interacting with at the time. They would also downplay their own personality in the process. This method of creating a shadow from your own soul is far more effective than trying to guess at and imitate the desired shadow personality. A shadow persona which has no basis in reality whatsoever is very unlikely to be able to win a target over. Most people are more intuitive than we give them credit for and something which is based entirely on falsehood, without having even an aspect of the truth, is likely to come across as phony and lose any attraction which has been created. Shadow HQ The shadow technique just described, along with the mirroring and manipulation of time described in previous chapters, are all intended to create a sense of comfort and compatibility between the target and the seducer. Is this enough? No. Think of the rapport and comfort as almost the creation of a ‘base’ from which the seducer is able to operate. It is important to have a strong foundation to launch a seductive plan from - but is not enough in and of itself. The next few sections of this book will show the playbook by which a seducer can carry out their intentions, having established a firm position of comfort and familiarity with which to do so. Now that you understand thoroughly how a seducer gains power over their target, read on to figure out exactly what they do with that power once it has been gained. Chapter 11: Reward and Punishment So far, this book has clearly elaborated upon the theoretical foundations of dark seduction, and explored some of the methods by which dark seducers initiate a seductive interaction with their target and then steer the initial course of the interaction in a way which grants the seducer the balance of power. This chapter is the first which directly deals with an aspect of how the seducer exercises the power that they have attained. It is important that the techniques found in this chapter only work when the seducer actually has some power - they are contingent upon the target feeling a sense of connection with the individual trying to seduce them. If you are carrying out these techniques for yourself, be sure to use the tactics related to generating rapport through mirroring, leading and so forth found in the previous chapters before attempting to use the ideas found in the later chapters. They simply won’t work without the requisite levels of rapport. With that being said, this chapter will now explore one of the key areas of interest for many dark seducers - reward and punishment. This relates to the way in which a seducer seeks to encourage or discourage their target to behave or stop behaving in a certain way. The techniques found here can be used by a seducer at any stage of the interaction between themselves and their target, provided enough of a connection has been established. Reward and punishment can occur on the first night the target and seducer meet - it can also occur after the two have been in a relationship for a number of years. Tactical Praise, Calculated Criticism The basic concept by which a seducer seeks to establish control over the behavior of their target, and mold them into the type of person they want them to be, is by only praising or criticizing when such responses are used carefully and for clearly understood tactical reasons. Most dark seducers will never give a comment of praise or one of scorn without carefully thinking about why they are doing it. That is because dark seducers know that words are weapons and they should not be used carelessly. So how does calculated praise and criticism differ from regular praise and criticism? In two major ways. First, they differ from normal praise and criticism with regards to the occasions on which they are used. Second, they differ due to the type of praise and criticism that is handed out. Let’s look at each aspect in turn. Whereas most people will praise someone through a pure intention of wanting to express positive sentiment, a seducer will only ever praise for selfish reasons - namely putting pressure on their target to behave in a certain way. The seducer’s criteria for praise is not ‘this person has earned a kind comment’ - rather it is ‘I want that person to behave in that way again, whether or not it benefits them’. Similarly, many normal people will criticize or advise someone on the basis that they feel they are helping them out. A seducer, on the other hand, couldn’t care less. They will do whatever they want - not what is in the target’s interest. For example, a true dark seducer will have no hesitation in criticizing something that is not to their liking - even if it helps out the target personally. Some readers will balk at the above description of reward and punishment and label it immoral or somehow bad. This is not actually the case. In actual fact, the technique is not so much moral or immoral as it is amoral. The type of praise and criticism a dark seducer uses, and the limits of what they are prepared to say and do, depends entirely upon the individual at hand. It is down to each individual seducer to determine what they are and are not willing to do and say to a target. The technique, devoid of a person using it, is neutral. It is capable of either harm or help. So what are the some of the main ways in which a seducer may make use of praise and criticism when influencing a target? Some seducers choose to focus on the way in which a target responds to them. For example, if a target does not seem as interested in a seducer as the seducer desires, then criticism of some kind may be used. On the other hand, if a target displays an appropriate amount of attention and responds in a good way to what the seducer says and does, then reward may be used. A target’s appearance may also be one area in which a seducer uses reward and criticism. By praising or subtly insulting the way a target looks, it is possible for a seducer to influence the way in which a target presents their image. The seducer may also choose to make use of the principle of reward and punishment in order to influence the way in which a target responds physically to them. For example, if a target is slow to respond to physical touch or an attempt to kiss, the seducer may criticize them by saying something like ‘I wish you weren’t so boring’ or even criticize them non-verbally, using only a look or a gesture to do so. The type of reward and criticism which works with one target may not work with another. The best dark seducers know there is no absolute right or wrong way to go about rewarding or criticizing - just to use whatever seems to have an impact upon the victim at the time. Some targets will respond well to verbal approval or criticism while others will respond better to nonverbal options. Some targets need overt criticism or praise while others respond better to almost backhanded, subtle, even passive aggressive criticism and praise. It is only through a process of experimentation and experience that a dark seducer is able to learn about the variety of methods they can use to gain compliance from their target. Operant Conditioning The reason why this method of reward and criticism is so effective is due to a psychological principle called ‘operant conditioning’. It basically refers to the fact that it is possible for behavior to be changed, or conditioned, by the response it receives. The theory is complex and detailed so will not be covered in any more depth than needed here. Feel free to search and read about it if you want further scientific validation for the principles in this chapter. Psychotic Inconsistency Controversially, it can be said that most people use reward and criticism to influence behavior of the people they interact with. The difference with a dark seducer, however, is that the dark seducer is consciously aware of what they are doing and the impact they wish it to have, whereas most people just happen to respond in a certain way to certain things. This deliberate usage of encouragement and discouragement is by no means the only way that reward and punishment differs for a dark seducer. The most shameless of all dark seducers who are willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want out of a target will develop a pattern of inconsistency with their praise and criticism. This unpredictability leaves a target feeling on edge and never exactly sure of when they will feel reassured and when they will feel attacked. This type of psychotic emotional manipulation has parallels, bizarrely, with the world of animal training. In order to get sea creatures such as dolphins to jump through hoops at places like Sea World, animal trainers first give them a fish or other reward every time they jump through the hoop. Eventually, the dolphin becomes lazy, and does not put as much effort into their jumps. To counteract this, the trainer chooses to give the dolphin a fish sometimes, no fish other times and a lot of fish at random intervals. This results in the dolphin never knowing when a reward or lack of reward is on the way. The creature therefore makes extra effort on every jump. Dark seducers use reward and criticism in a similar way to dolphin trainers. They never allow their targets to fall into a feeling of safety or certainty. Whatever happens next is always unpredictable and, as a result, the target is always going out of their way to go the extra mile for the seducer, in the hope of receiving a random reward. This is an effective, albeit evil, system of control. Chapter 12: The Thin Line Between Temptation and Fear One of the most interesting things about dark seducers is their awareness of the dynamics present in a seductive encounter that relate to both temptation and fear. Dark seducers know that many people are torn between their desires as natural human beings and the type of social conditioning and environmental pressure which holds them back from behaving in a way which is truly free. The best dark seducers are able to make use of this fine line by being both the ‘devil’ and the ‘angel’ and leading their target through an emotional maze playing on both sides of the emotional spectrum. This chapter will explore the ways in which a dark seducer is able to get into the head of a target and look at how their target feels a complex mixture of desire, doubt and everything that is in between the two. The chapter shows that seducers are able to map out their target’s enthusiasms and hesitancies in order to provoke and influence the way in which a target acts. Finally, it will be shown that the highest level of mastery for a dark seducer in this area is to turn a target’s own desires against them and use them as a form of psychological control - all without the target ever knowing any such thing is taking place. Devil and Angel What many people forget is that the devil was originally in fact an angel. This duality between good and evil, between purity and pleasure, is something that a dark seducer is not only aware of but embraces. As stated in one of the book’s first chapters, a dark seducer is different because of their willingness to see the world for how it really is and to make it work for them rather than against them. Understanding the nature of duality and how to use it is a key aspect of this. Often, dark seducers take great pleasure from alternately playing the role of the devil and the angel which sit on the shoulders of the target. One minute, the seducer may take up the diabolic role, tempting the target to push beyond the boundaries and limits of their comfort and morality, and instead give in to pure, hedonistic pleasure. The next, the seducer may switch back into a more angelic way of being, lecturing the target for their sinful lapses and blaming them for their own desires. Just as an earlier chapter of this book dealt with the emotional spikes that seducers must induce, both positive and negative, this chapter deals with the moral spikes a good seducer is capable of triggering. The best seducer should push their target into feeling alternately naughty, guilty and gripped by strong desire. This moral emotional variety keeps a seduction interesting and plays upon aspects of a target’s psyche which are rarely if ever touched upon in the course of their everyday life. We largely live in an amoral world in which feelings of guilt and right and wrong are often ignored in favor of more material concerns. Human beings naturally have a strong moral dimension, and conscience, however, and everyone has this dormant and ready to tap into. The best dark seducers know exactly how to turn a target’s own conscience into the seducer’s wingman, to help them achieve their aim of seducing the target in whichever way they desire. White and Black Thread Woven Into Rope Temptation, desire, guilt and other associated moral emotions should not be seen as separate - they are usually different sides to the same coin. Think of a target’s moral compass as being like a prism depending on what light is shined through it, it produces a different output. Dark seducers are the light or lack of it. Depending upon the way in which they choose to flow through their target, they may manage to trigger outputs of guilt, desire or a mixture of the two through the same source. The best dark seducers don’t see desire and remorse as separate rather they are interconnected aspects of the same whole. A skilled seducer will therefore be able to say things which trigger the responses of desire and guilt at the same time. An example would be something like “I wish you weren’t making me want you so much right now, you are so shameless”. This is an interesting line for several reasons. First of all, it places the blame for the seduction on the target rather than on the seducer. This is likely to trigger equal feelings of lust, shame and guilt in the target - a potent mixture. Second, the exciting temptation stemming from the phrase ‘want you’ is mixed in with the reproachful ‘shameless’. The mixed messages send strong signals to the target’s subconscious mind that strongly amplify the emotional intensity and feeling of meaning present in a seductive encounter. Bend But Never Break The best dark seducer is like a tightrope walker - they are always walking a very thin, very perilous line between pushing the target right to the edge of, and even slightly past, their comfort zone, but never pushing them so far outside of it that they break down and end the interaction. Everyone has boundaries - dark seducers are better than most of eliciting these from a target and knowing exactly how far they can be prodded and played with. The breaking point differs from target to target. Interestingly, the breaking point often differs at different points in the same interaction for the same target. For example, a person’s breaking point at the start of an interaction when they have hardly spoken to the seducer may be lower than later in the interaction when they feel familiar and more at ease in the company of a dark seducer. The best seducers are always able to gauge and recalibrate where a breaking point is throughout an interaction, rather than assuming it stays static and remains what it was at first. One of the ways in which a dark seducer is able to push a target’s breaking point is to take a ‘two steps forward, one step back’ approach. This sees the seducer pushing the target’s comfort zone just a little bit too far, and then retreating for a period of time, before pushing forward again. This gradually increases the moral testing the target is able to withstand without breaking entirely and walking away. Verbal Moral Tests So far, this issue of morality and pushing the boundaries may sound entirely serious and heavy going. In actual fact, it doesn’t have to be that way. Skilled seducers are able to deal with the topics of morality and boundaries in a way which comes across as fun, cheeky and playful rather than rude or intrusive. Let’s look at some of the ways this can take place. One way to get the target to open up about their moral limits, desires and qualms is by phrasing the exploration as a game. If the seducer says something like ‘Let’s play a game called “would you ever” ‘ and then proceeds to test a target’s moral limits, but in a playful tone of voice, the target is less likely to resist. Even though they are revealing the same information as they would if the target asked them seriously, it doesn’t feel serious due to the way in which the seducer presents the situation. Another way in which seducers are able to explore their target’s morality is with leading questions. These can put some kind of subtle pressure on the target to open up. An example would be a seducer saying ‘A lot of fun and adventurous people I know have made out with people of the same sex, have you ever done that?’ The way in which the question is framed makes the target feel as if they need to live up to the standard set by the seducer. Chapter 13: Demonic Sexual Seduction This chapter will explore how some seducers are able to use sexual energy as part of the seduction process. It is not a guide to the actual act of sex itself, rather it aims to analyze and explore ways in which energy and the hint of sexuality are used to increase the tension of attraction between the seducer and their target. The analogy of demonic energy has been used due to the fact that when the techniques found in this chapter are used effectively, they leave the target with the feeling that they are not in control of themselves. The best seducers are able to take control of the energy of the interaction using the techniques found here. This can be likened to demonic possession due to the intensity and seeming out of control nature of the result it produces. Throughout history the best of seducers have been able to make use of implied sexual energy in order to increase the tension present in an interaction. Due to the fact that human sexuality is a powerful inherent drive, this is not something that is capable of changing due to cultural trends or peculiarities of the time. Therefore the same techniques that worked for famous seducers throughout history, such as Rasputin and Casanova are able to work today. This chapter will now explore the range of techniques that the best seducers are able to use in the pursuit of sexual energy in their interactions. The techniques will be separated into physical, verbal, sub communication and acts of intent. The techniques present in this chapter fall within the usual psychological guidelines found elsewhere in this book - they focus only on what works rather than what is right. A note of guidance must be provided before this chapter goes further. The techniques in this chapter are not intended in any way to override the free will of someone who is being interacted with. Rather they’re intended as a method by which the intensity of the experience for both parties may be increased. This is a positive thing and not something that should be seen in a negative light. As usual the techniques are neither moral or immoral - rather they are amoral. It is down to the hands of the person using them to determine the result they have. Sub Communications and Intent This section will now explore the way in which sexual energy and tension can be generated through subtle and non-obvious means. The best seducers are able to use subtle elements of what they do through their use of body language and the intent behind the interaction in order to create the desired effect. The best type of seduction in this area is not obvious to outside observers. Indeed to those who are watching this take place it may seem as if nothing is happening. This is because the effect had by the seducers is only felt by those they are interacting with. What are the implications of this? Basically it allows for the seducers to create quite an intense sexual tension without it being obvious or inappropriate to outside observers. This is what allows some of the best pickup artists in history to go about their work without it causing a problem in public. It allows the seducers to go to from target to target within the course of the same evening without it causing problems. Contrast the subtle and effective way of seduction with the more obvious way that many unskilled seducers go about creating sexual tension. Unskilled seducers may attempt to do this with a crude, crass, over the top approach. This is ineffective compared to the correct dark seductive approach that follows. Be Congruent So what are some of the specific ways that seducers are able to ramp up the tension and feelings of sensuality within an interaction? Perhaps the first and most important aspect is the seducer’s own internal state. This relates back to the start of the book which talked about the difference between the internal and external elements of seduction. In order to effectively project outwards tension and sexual confidence, and for it to come across as authentic, the seducer must first feel this inner reality before they are able to project it outwards. People are able to sense when a seducer does not feel the internal reality of what they are projecting out. There needs to be a congruence and compatibility between what a seducer is feeling and what they are saying and doing to their target. It is therefore essential that seducers are able to put themselves in the correct state of mind before attempting to seduce as a result of it. Always Warm Up The implications of this are as follows. Seducers must first effectively game themselves before they are able to game others. Just as a seducer must always be aware of their target’s comfort level and feelings during the course of an interaction, they must also be aware of their own personal state and mood. Basically, a seducer must always be willing to judge whether they themselves are feeling authentically sexual before they are able to make others feel this way. Also, for many seducers, this requires a process of warming up. What is meant by warming up is the ability to get into a social, confident, outgoing place of interaction that allows the seducer to express what they are truly feeling. Some seducers are able to trigger this state in themselves by listening to music, expressing their physical posture in a certain way, or doing other hacks, shortcuts and tricks in order to feel this way. For others, it is a more gradual process. For example, some seducers may walk into a venue feeling not so confident and not so sexual. As they do some basic interactions with people in the vicinity, their confidence levels increase and they slowly become more and more in state as the evening progresses. Relaxed Laser Eye Contact One of the keys to projecting the appropriate energy during the course of the interaction is having the appropriate eye contact. This should be intense but not to the point of being intimidating. The seducer shouldn't be scared of holding fixed eye contact during the course of the interaction. However, the eye contact should be somewhat relaxed and not to the point where it feels like staring. This is a subtle difference, but one which the most experienced pickup artists are fully aware of how to make work in their favor. In order to become familiar with the correct type of eye contact that is likely to produce the desired result it is necessary for the seducer to gain personal experience in this area. There is no substitute for either going out regularly and practicing this aspect of seduction or watching videos of some of the best seducers and modeling their own behavior. Thankfully both of these options are completely possible for the modern seduction artist. YouTube has a wealth of videos from some of the best seducers in the modern times by using the latest pickup techniques which get the best results. If there is any doubt in the mind of the seducer as to what they should be doing, then there are two simple remedies to this problem. First, learning what must be done in terms of the correct level of eye contact. Second, practicing this for themselves over time until it becomes second nature and they automatically make the right type of eye contact without it being something they have to think about or consciously do. Falling under the guise of someone who has got this area of game handled can have quite a powerful effect. The target will often respond by showing a mixture of awareness and interaction with their own physicality. For example, when this type of eye contact is done well, the target may begin to subconsciously touch their hair, brushing it away from their face in response to the eye contact. This is traditionally known as an indicator of interest. It is one of the ways that the seducer is able to tell that what they are doing is working. When first starting out practicing this aspect of seduction it may be necessary for a seducer to manually think throughout if whether what they are doing is having the desired effect. However, over time, a seducer will learn to judge their impact through intuition. This is one of the reasons why it is necessary to practice as much as possible in order to become an effective skilled and instinctive seducer. Slow It Down One of the ways in which this type of energy is able to be created is through modification of the pace of the interaction. One of the common mistakes which many people make when attempting seduction is to talk and behave in a way which is too fast. The best seducers, on the other hand, are able to slow down the pace of the interaction in order to make the target feel comfortable and ready for something more to happen. This can relate to the way in which their voice is used. For example, if you listen to yourself talking very rapidly, and then more deliberately, you will notice that the slower pace is more appealing and sensual to listen to. This should be used cautiously. It is important to have an authentic impact rather than coming across as some kind of parody of a seductive character. This subtle difference is something which can be gauged through persistent practice. As well and using the pace of words to create the desired effect and tension, it is also a good idea to speak in a more deliberate way. This involves leaving pauses between words particularly when the person wishes to emphasize something they are saying. This can also create a feeling of expectation on behalf of the target, which can leave the seducer in a position of power. In order to get a feeling for how this can be used to create energy and therefore tension, listen to speeches by some of the best public speakers of our era. You will notice that they are effectively able to use pauses in order to create a compelling speaking voice which is almost hypnotic to listen to. The speed of their physical movement is also something which a seduction artist must be aware of when they are interacting. Jerky movements and motions are unattractive and give off the feeling of the seducer being in a rush. Instead, it is better for the seduction artist to move in a slow, controlled, and deliberate way. This results in a physical smoothness which is unlikely to disrupt the pace or feel of an interaction. An alternative fast movement can give the impression of panic which can result in the spell and tension which has been created being disrupted. When the volume of an interaction has been disrupted, it can be almost impossible to recover. When it is not impossible, it can be very difficult and timeconsuming to do so. It is therefore best to avoid doing anything which interrupts the pace of the interaction in the first place. Always being aware of and being in control of one's own movements is therefore essential. Alternating Pressure One of the main mistakes that people make when attempting this area of seduction is to do too much too soon. People can feel overwhelmed and overloaded if someone they are interacting with is overly sexual from the beginning of the interaction. While it is sometimes possible to come on strong early, and for it to work, it is not the best course of action. Instead it is better to gradually, and slowly, ramp up the sensuality throughout the course of the interaction. This prevents the problem of the target feeling overwhelmed too early and therefore backing away from the interaction. This requires the seducer to use a process known as calibration to get the best results. This always requires the seducer to be aware of their target’s comfort level at any given time. It is almost like working with metal. The metal must be heated up slowly in order to be bent into the shape that the artist desires. Too much heat, too soon, will result in the metal being destroyed and therefore unable to be shaped. Seduction is no different. Heat must be used gradually in order to mold the targets will to the intent of the person shaping it. This is best achieved through alternating periods of high and low intensity. For example, the seduction artist may choose to use an intensely sexual tone and physicality, for a short period of time, before returning to a less intimidating and less intense way of interacting. This is sometimes known as pressure on, pressure off. It stops the target from feeling too overwhelmed and wanting to back away before the seduction has the chance to proceed. Addictive Sexual Energy Due to the fact that a feeling of sexual energy is actually quite addictive on a biochemical level, if a seducer is able to use this effectively, they are able to leave their target feeling as if they are physically addicted to the presence of the person who has seduced them. This type of interpersonal addiction is a double edged sword. This is due to the fact that, on the one hand, the seducer is able to ensure that the target comes back for more. On the other hand, it can result in a situation where the seducer has multiple people who are addicted to their presence at any one time. This can end up requiring some difficult social management to stop the situation from resulting in fights and jealousy occurring. This may sound fantastical, but if you speak to any experienced seducer, you are almost certain to hear some stories of various targets becoming jealous of one another. A key component of this jealousy is the addictive nature of the sexual energy and attention which the best seducers are able to create. The addictive component of this sexuality is one of the key things that stops a seduction artist from ever falling into the friend zone. Simply put, they do not give the people they are interacting with the option of seeing them as a friend. There is no possible way to think only in friendly terms of someone who was putting across a high level of sexual energy. This is by no means to say that everyone a seduction artist interacts with will feel attracted to them. However, the sexual component of seduction acts as a filter. If forces people to see the seduction artist as a person of sexual intent. The choice is simple. Either feel attraction for the seduction artist on a sexual level. Or, alternatively, to be polarized by them in a way which does not end in friendship. This aspect of seduction is a way to avoid the problem of someone you are attracted to only seeing you as a friend. Chapter 14: The Disappearing Devil This chapter will draw upon a concept taken from Machiavelli's The Prince and update and apply it in light of the seductive art form. In ‘The Prince’, Machiavelli states that one of the things that give a ruler their power is the fact they are generally unavailable. Think about a king or a Queen as an example. Their life exists and takes place behind the walls of palaces and other high status buildings. Not everyone is able to walk into such places as and when they choose. The presence of someone of high status is rare and when it is conferred upon people it is considered as an honor. People naturally value scarcity in general. This is a law of economics which the best seduction artists are able to make work in their favor. This chapter deals with the way in which a seduction artist is able to make use of the idea of scarcity and rarity in order to increase the value in the eyes of the people they wish to seduce. It looks at both the practical and philosophical implications of what this technique implies. A clear contrast will be drawn between this perspective within dark seduction and the more common mainstream perspective which is widely seen. Not only what works will be shown now, but also, why it works. This will allow you to carry out the techniques with the confidence that they will work, and you understand the basis by which they work. This conscious practice of the ideas in this chapter is what differentiates a true seduction artist from a layman. The Mainstream Mistake Before seeing the right way to be scarce and unavailable, we must first explore the wrong way to do these things. This incorrect perspective is commonly seen within the context of mainstream seductive thought. It is especially a problem in the modern time due to the prevalence of smartphones and messaging applications. Through social media and messaging applications, people are always available. In fact, most modern messaging applications will even show someone when you have read their message, therefore increasing the pressure to reply promptly. This culture of always being available runs contrary to the notion of being scarce in order to increase one's personal value. If you think about classic tales of romance and seduction, part of the reason that they are so effective is due to the fact that the people involved often had to wait around for a response. Think about the clichéd example of a heroine whose true love has gone to war. They may wait a long time for a romantic response to arrive by letter. While they are waiting, one of the most seductive elements is the time they have to dwell in anticipation and experience longing. Effectively, waiting in anticipation allows somebody to seduce themselves in their mind by having romantic notions and fantasies. Always being available, and always replying promptly, destroys the chance that somebody has to experience this joyful and exciting anticipation. Scarcity as Status Think about the attempts of fans to interact with their celebrity heroes. Fans will attempt to contact the celebrities they admire through social media. Do they always expect a response? No. When a response is received it is seen as a big deal and the person’s incredibly happy and joyful. The reply is appreciated and enjoyed but is not expected. Fans naturally understand that celebrities are busy people whose time is valuable. Therefore, a response is seen as something to be enjoyed, not to be expected. A sign of low value and not having a full and fulfilling life is always replying to messages promptly. It suggests you have nothing better to do and nothing to occupy your time. Even if this is the case and you don't have anything going on, you should at least appear as if you do. People will quickly become bored with someone who is always available and always there to indulge them. There is a balancing act to be learned between being unavailable and available in the right measure. Either option to excess is a bad choice. Their needs to be a delicate middle ground between being available and unavailable. This produces the maximum level of interest and helps your seductive efforts in the optimum way. One of the best ways to go about achieving this balance is to alternate times you reply promptly and times where you take longer to reply. You may also wish to vary the length and detail that you put into your replies. This has the effect of leaving someone always anticipating when you may or may not reply to them. This creates a feeling of excitement and uncertainty in the mind of your target. They know that it is possible that you will give them your attention and do so in depth, however they cannot be sure of it. If done well this technique will produce the effect of someone being excited when they hear from you and looking forward to it. Sometimes, someone you are interacting with will call you out on your lack of a prompt reply. When this does occur, the best response is to tease them and to have fun. For example, you can say in a jokey tone of voice that they missed you and you can make fun of them for this. Alternatively, you can use an absurd sense of humor to concoct a ridiculous tale of why you were unable to reply. Whatever you do, do not attempt to rationally justify or explain your lack of response. To do so you is low status behavior which gives away the balance of power in the interaction to the person you are interacting with. The Balance You should always aim to be just on the edge of too unavailable. It is always better to be slightly too scarce than slightly too available. The intended effect should be to make the person you're interacting with feel as if they always just on the verge of losing you without actually losing you. This is a good thing to get right and will probably require an extensive period of practice in order to master. There is no way around the fact that, when you are learning the art of scarcity and unavailability, you will probably mess up some of your interactions. Don't be sad about this. See it as invaluable training in which you are learning the skills necessary to get better in the future. Almost no one becomes a master overnight and it is inevitable that you will mess up with some of the people you desire in the early stages of your seductive career. If you have properly internalized the concepts regarding abundance and becoming not attached to any one person, any of this will not matter to you. After all, why does it matter if you lose one person, if there are a million more waiting for you? Therefore, don't be scared to be too scarce in order to learn where the limits are. In the long run, this will set you up far better than if you play it safe and stay within the boundaries of availability which are usually found within the mainstream. Micro Scarcity So far, this chapter has dealt with the idea of unavailability and scarcity in relation to responding to messages and being generally unavailable. This section of the chapter will deal with the idea of being unavailable on a micro-scale. For example, it is a good idea to project a vibe of scarcity and unavailability during the course of a one-on-one interaction. What is meant by this? Basically, a skilled seduction artist is able to give the impression that they are always on the verge of becoming bored and walking away. As human beings, we naturally chase what is difficult for us to achieve. This is due to the fact that anything which is valuable in life does not necessarily come easily. In order to project this scarce vibe, there are several techniques you can use. We will now look at some of the ways in which you can seem scarce and unavailable in the course of a one-on-one interaction. First, it is important for you to have clear boundaries of what you will and won't accept while being interacted with. People will either consciously or subconsciously test you while you interact with them. Your ability to deal with these tests in the right way is a key factor behind whether you are seen as attractive or not. Some of the common tests you will face are being insulted, someone being rude to you, or someone making some kind of disparaging remark about who you are and what you do. This is basically a way of seeing whether you are the socially adjusted person you are projecting. In order to pass these tests, you must have the right internal mindsets in place. These include always having a sense of self respect, knowing where the limits of what you tolerate are, and being willing to walk away if someone pushes you too far. When done well, you will leave the person you are interacting with having the feeling that they have met someone who knows what they want out of life and knows how to best go about getting it. This contrasts with the majority of people who do not know where their boundaries are, do not know what their values are like, and are willing to put up with almost anything to get a chance with someone they are attracted to. This is why many people will willingly end up in the friend zone. They end up being used by the people they are attracted to and are almost always seen as personal assistants. They will do endless favors under the false idea that they are being a nice person and that this may eventually lead to them entering into a romantic or sexual relationship in the future. In actual fact, this is almost never true. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that putting up with nonsense will eventually lead to you getting with someone. In fact, the very opposite is true. You will always end up being the safe friend. You will never get what you want out of an interaction and you will always be used. Therefore, being scarce, unavailable, and choosing to put yourself first at all times is a vital part of becoming a high value person who is effective within the field of seduction. Chapter 15: Spiritual Seducers This chapter deals with the way in which some seducers are able to make use of a sense of spirituality or appeal to a higher purpose in the pursuit of seduction. This chapter is equally a guide of what not to do and what should be avoided as it is a suggestion of what should be done. This is due to the fact that, of all the chapters in this book, this is perhaps the most interesting and yet risky in terms of how unusual it is. Some people will respond very well to the techniques that are contained in this chapter. However, the majority will not. There are many other ways to go about seducing someone that do not involve introducing the topic of spirituality into the process. This is therefore something that is interesting to learn about, and even more interesting to actually use on occasion, not something that is going to become the basis of many people’s seductive process. It is impossible to write a book about dark seduction, however, and ignore this topic entirely. Seducers in both the modern and the classical era have appealed to spirituality as part of a seductive process. Some classic examples include Rasputin, the monk in old Russian territory who was able to make use of his supposed supernatural powers as part of his seductive conquests. In modern times, influential pick up artists such as the infamous Mystery have been able to make use of a sense of spirituality in order to achieve their aims. A Specialist Technique The reason why the techniques of this chapter in particular are considered so strange is due to the fact that the society in which we live does not usually talk about spiritual topics. People who are very openly spiritual are often seen as existing outside of the mainstream lifestyle. For this reason, many people will view an attempt to introduce spirituality as part of the seduction of something weird and something to run away from. However, as discussed earlier, scarcity can be very attractive indeed. If done well, and in a measured way, and with the right level of skill to carry it out properly, a sprinkling of spirituality can help even the most mundane and seemingly mainstream interaction become more memorable and interesting, both for the seducer and the person who is being seduced. It does not necessarily mean that the person who is attempting to appear spiritual actually needs to be so. For example, one of the earliest known pick up techniques involves the pickup artist telling a pseudo spiritual story which was known as The Cube. This was a technique which was used to supposedly reveal things about the target’s personality which they themselves may not know. The story was actually a simple cold reading technique which allowed the seducer to give the impression of knowing things that they did not actually know. In reality, the technique relied upon the use of generalized statements which the target could read almost anything into that they wished. No genuine spiritual progress was required on behalf of the seduction artist. Rather, just being able to use the technique in the manner described with in books such as The Game was enough for people to get results. One of the reasons that this type of spiritual seduction should be used sparingly within our modern context, is due to the fact that it was so overused in the early days of the pickup community. It is a joke, one which has even been shown on mainstream comedy shows, of the supposedly mysterious pick up artist using a range of cheesy and tired techniques such as card tricks, magic, palm reading, and handwriting analysis in order to seduce their target. As a result of the overuse of this style of game in the early days, many people are now very wary of it. It must be used in a new and original way, if it is used at all in the modern time, in order to go undetected. Due to the fact that this type of seduction was overused in the early days, the way in which is it is now used needs to be a lot more subtle. The seduction artist attempting to make use of this style of game should not actually claim to do magic tricks or do any kind of psychic reading. Such techniques are the equivalent of a sledgehammer and are likely to be laughable rather than seductive. Instead, it is better to use subtle hints, words and other tactics to give the impression of specialist knowledge. Being able to guess something about someone before they actually tell you is an example of this. Another social, and more acceptable, way of being able to project a vibe of spirituality is to talk about some of the books and ideas which you have learned about within this area lately. Of course, to be able to do this well, requires you to actually take an interest in this area of life and read some of the main books that are popular at the time. This should be mentioned in a conversation in a very offhand and casual manner. There is no point in trying to really impress someone with the things you have read or learned. Instead subtly introduce the type of things you have been reading and have found interesting, and judge whether the target responds to them well. If they seem to light up and become excited at the introduction of a more spiritual topic, then you may proceed to enjoy this area together further. If however, you judge that someone is not interested when you initially introduce the topic, then it is better to let this topic drop, as it will not get you anywhere in the course of the interaction. Why it Works Human beings are naturally curious about things they cannot explain. All of us want to believe that there is something more than the world we see around us. This is why many people are interested in phenomena such as psychics, ghost, UFOs, and other paranormal phenomenon. The ability to mention spirituality in a careful and chosen way taps into this desire to experience something that goes beyond the realm of our everyday existence. The extent to which this is mentioned and used requires discretion upon the part of the person who is carrying out the technique. For example, most people will have a slight level of curiosity in this area. As a result, most of the time, spiritual ideas should be used in a very light, casual, and uninterested way. The impression given should be that the seduction artist is talking about something that's slightly interesting to them, rather than something that they deeply care about. This is in order to appear to care about the area of spirituality the same amount as the person that the seduction artist is interacting with. The alternative to appearing slightly interested in this area, rather than fully interested, is to scare and intimidate the person you're interacting with. This is particularly the case in the course of the seduction which has just begun. Think about it from your own perspective. If you met someone who was able to tell you some interesting facts about some interesting spiritual topics which they had lately found out about, it may be an enjoyable and interesting part of the interaction for you. However, if they decided to talk about this in a way which was overly passionate or overly involved, then you may leave with the impression that they are crazy and some kind of nut job. Now obviously, you want to avoid giving this impression yourself! Who it Works With As already stated, this technique works with most people to some extent or another. This skill is down to being able to determine the extent to which someone considers himself to be spiritual, and therefore interested in this area of life. As already mentioned, one of the ways to do this is to introduce the topic in a slow, gradual, and subtle way, and then to judge the reaction of the person you have spoken to. This is by no means the only way to go about doing this. We will now look at some other ways of determining how well a person will respond to this type of spiritual seduction, and how to make the most of different types of people, and the way in which to interact with them using these techniques. Broadly speaking, there are three types of people, with regards to spiritual seduction. First, there are those people who have the average amount of interest in the spiritual side of life. This will be the vast majority of people that you encounter in the course of your seductive efforts. Such people should be approached in the way described above - to carefully and subtly introduce the topic in a way which seems uninteresting and unimportant to the person talking about it. This will allow you to sprinkle in some of the alluring power of spirituality without overdoing it and putting off your target all together. The second type of person you will encounter with regards to spiritual seduction is the person who is a complete skeptic and does not see this kind of thing as being relevant to them in any way whatsoever. Such people can still be spoken to about the area of spirituality and it can even work well in your seductive efforts towards them. However, you will completely switch your approach with this type of person. After the initial mention of the spiritual topic, which is used to gauge their interest levels, you will then instantly see by their reaction, often a sign or a roll of the eyes, that they are a skeptic and do not see this kind of thing as being important to them. As soon as you get this impression, you can try to make a sarcastic or disparaging remark about the general area of spirituality. Sometimes, when you do this, you will see that they enjoy being sarcastic and dismissive about this area. When you get this impression, you can then decide to make mockery of this type of talk. This is a great way of connecting with that type of skeptical person. The final type of person you will encounter in the area of spiritual seduction is a person who is very spiritual and considers that they are a spiritual being of some type or another. This could take the form of someone who was a subscriber to a conventional religion or someone who is more new age in their approach to spirituality. If you meet someone who is conventionally religious, you may wish to adjust the way in which you attempt to seduce them. This is due to the fact that many religions have prohibitions related to sexual behavior. You may wish to gauge this for yourself and judge whether this type of person is worth pursuing. However, you will often be surprised. Many people who are religious are as open to sexual experience as people who are not religious. They may just do it in a more subtle way due to the fact they feel conflicted between their spiritual beliefs and their human desires. People who take a New Age approach to spirituality may be some of the best people to seduce. This is due to the fact that such people tend to have a liberal outlook on life and may see sex as something which is positive and to be celebrated, rather than to be ashamed about and hidden away. You can generally judge such people, often by their appearance, and by the fact they will talk about topics such as crystals, healing, organic foods, and other markers of general hippie-like viewpoints on life. Proceed With Caution This chapter has been included as a point of interest and a record of a popular trend within the seduction community, rather than as advice on how someone should seduce in the modern times. Think of the ideas that you have just read as more of an interesting aspect of seduction that you may occasionally wish to play and have fun with, rather than something that you use regularly. The chapter also will prepare you to encounter people using out of date pick up techniques that they have read in the book The Game. If, for example, you are out and talking to someone you wish to seduce, and you see someone else using some techniques such as palm reading or claiming to be psychic, then you can call them out on it as a result of what you have read here. Chapter 16: The Impact Of all the chapters in this book, this is perhaps the most important. This is due to the fact that what this book contains is proven psychological principles, and the way to take action on them, that produces profound and serious results. These results are in an area of life as sensitive and complex as someone's psychological and sexual wellbeing. This applies both to the person who is carrying out the seduction techniques and the person who is being seduced. Many people go into this ill prepared for the consequences and impact it will have on their own life and the lives of others. This chapter aims to explore various aspects of the way in which dark seduction has a consequence in the life of the people it impacts. The various range of impacts will be shown, both positive and negative, in order to show that this isn’t something to take lightly and is something that will have a result after being carried out. A New You If you do decide to make use of what you have read in this book, be aware of the fact that it will cause profound changes in your life, and that you are not easily able to escape from them. What is described in the pages you have read is a profound process of psychological and behavioral transformation. If you choose to undergo this process then there is no escaping the fact that you will become an essentially different person from who you were before you decided to take action on the ideas you've come across. This is usually a positive transformation and it will lead to benefit in many different areas of your life. However there are some ways in which it can cause a detrimental impact upon your existence if you do not decide to protect yourself from the possible negative impact. We will first explore the ways in which your life must be protected from the influence that dark seduction can have on it, before going on to look at the many positive benefits and consequences. The Dark Side Of The Game One of the key problems that many people face when choosing to carry out seductive techniques they have read is that they are not prepared for the true insight into human nature they gain. For example, many people who have not entered the world of seduction, have naive viewpoints as to the nature of people and the reasons that they do things. After spending some time using seductive techniques to seduce people, many will often see that the truth of existence is not what they thought it was. People will be Machiavellian in many ways without even realizing they're doing so. People will forego their own moral codes for their own pleasure in the heat of the moment, and this can be upsetting for someone who is seeing it for the first time. This shocking experience is commonly known as the dark side of the game. People who go into dark seduction, even with the most noble ideals, end up having some doubts and difficulties with what they discover on the way. Some examples of the type of thing which tends to upset you coming to this area include seeing people cheat on their husbands or wives on a regular basis, people abandon their friends on a night out in order to get laid, and people lying and scheming in order to get what they want out of a social interaction. With this in mind, how do you protect yourself against losing your faith in people when playing the dark seduction game? The first thing that you must realize when you are entering into this world is that the things you see my distress you, however, they are just a small sample of humanity and cannot be generalized to everyone that has ever lived. For every person you meet, there are billions more you haven't met. Therefore, do not make generalizations about how people are, what they think, or what they feel. There is an infinite variety of human behavior, and it is easy to latch onto the bad things you see when it seems these are applicable to all people at all times. In reality, anything you see that upset you is just the area you are choosing to focus on. Many people become bitter after playing the dark seductive game, do it to themselves. This is due to the fact that they choose to focus on and think about the bad things that they see, rather than focusing on the pleasant or pleasurable experiences they have had. This concept basically returns to our earlier discussion on reference experiences. You are likely to have a broad variety of experience in the course of your time within the dark seductive world. The experiences that you choose, consciously, to focus on, are the ones which are likely to change your perception and the time in the viewpoint you have. Therefore, if you wish to avoid having a negative viewpoint of people as a result of playing this game, you need to make a conscious decision to not focus on the type of people you are likely to meet who go against what you believe to be the right way to behave. If you are determined to come out of this seeing life, and the people who live it, in a certain way, then it is vital for you to consciously seek out and focus on the reference experiences which will reinforce this viewpoint that you desire. Addiction Aside from the upsetting aspects of human nature which you are likely to encounter, it is vital for you to protect against becoming addicted to seduction. Many people are amazed by the speed at which they are able to have results that they never imagined possible in their wildest dreams. It can become incredibly addictive to exercise the power you gain and you may begin to do this in a way which is out of balance with the other things in your life. For example, there are countless stories of people who gained some proficiency within the area of seduction, and go all out to pursue new seductions at the expense of everything else. This is ultimately a recipe for ruin. Dark seduction should be seen as having a role in life somewhat similar to someone who is able to gamble healthily. It is an interesting pastime that can bring intense feelings of loss or reward into someone's life - however it should only ever be a small part of someone's life. It is the same as any other intensely pleasurable behavior, such as drinking alcohol, which can be a great thing in someone's life, or can ruin them, depending on how they let it control them, or they choose to control it. The best way to protect against becoming addicted to the dark seduction game, is to ensure that you do many other things in your life that you enjoy. For example, don't just focus on your next seduction. Focus on your career, focus on your health, and focus on things you do purely for pleasure outside of seduction, such as reading, watching movies, or anything else that you happen to enjoy. Ultimately, it is actually more seductive to be a well rounded person with a lot going on in the life than it is to be a person who is obsessed with pickup and seduction and nothing else. The word of caution about being addicted to seduction and picking up new conquests does not mean that you can't, or even shouldn't, have periods in your life where seduction becomes your primary focus and the main use of your time. You may value periods of immersion in order to see a rapid increase in your skills, or to work on an area of seduction you have been struggling with. However, the point is to realize that pickup plays a part in your life - it isn't your entire life. The amount of attention you wish to dedicate to seduction may increase or decrease at different times - but you should never let it take up all of your energy and attention. Know Your Limits As strange as it sounds, a lot of people end up having issues as a result of putting into practice dark seduction ideas in their own life. For example, there are countless tales of people who end up regretting the impact they have had on people. These feelings of guilt, regret and remorse are by no means a foregone conclusion - they depend entirely upon the individual in question and the specific path they chose to walk within the wide map of seductive possibility. This is not a warning to do or avoid doing anything in particular - only to be comfortable with what you are doing. After the seduction is over, and your bed contains none but you, be prepared to be alone with your own thoughts and feelings. You may be able to enjoy hedonism and all of its consequences without any issue. If so, drink deep from the dark well. If you are unshackled from any sense of guilt or doubt then you will be able to enjoy any aspect of life you wish. Not everyone reading this is as cold hearted as some people who play the game - even if they wish they were. If you are the type of person who tends to have a strong conscience, if the angel on your shoulder is as loud or louder than the devil, then tread carefully. Some people have broken so many hearts and driven so many girls insane or suicidal that they end up taking their own life. If you have any doubt to the truth of this statement then do your own homework. You will soon see the impact dark seduction can have on those who practice it. Also be aware of the consequences that seduction can have in your own life. You want to protect your reputation and your life outside of seduction. Consider the master of the game, Julien Blanc. This man is one of the greatest seducers to ever walk the Earth. However, as a result of his activities, he is now banned from many countries. Always be careful about the consequences of what you do. The Darkest Diamonds It’s not all bad. There is every chance that your pursuit of the game, if done wisely, will lead to you becoming a stronger and more confident person who is able to influence and enjoy success within any area of their life. You will find that, as you internalize the concepts and principles of dark seduction, you become more reliant on yourself and less on others. You will realize that if you were capable of becoming a boss in this area, you are capable of winning in any other game as well. The world will be your oyster. Enjoy.

Many people will have read this book in order to learn the techniques for their own use and put them to work in their own life. If you have read the book in order to use the ideas within it for yourself, I leave you with some words of warning. It is not easy to go about getting proficient in this area of life. In fact, the initial stages will be very difficult. This is due to the fact that you are required to come out of your comfort zone and interact in the real world in a way which is often painful or uncomfortable. However, if you are able to push through the initial difficulties and see it in the spirit of training in a valuable skill, which will get you a lot of happiness and pleasure from your life, then you are likely to eventually achieve your aims in this area. It is important to not lose sight of your goal if you yourself are trying to become better at seduction. Some people start playing the game in order to experience a life of choice and abundance in this area. Other people begin to play in order to find someone special and settle down in a relationship. Other people are simply interested in exploring the way in which the human psyche works, and the way in which people respond to different stimulus in social situations. There is no right or wrong motives. However, in order to maximize your time spent reading this book, have a clear idea of what you want to get out of it in the future. If you feel as if you have read this book to put it into action, then do not hesitate to do so. Take action today. This will build momentum that will prevent you from simply putting the book down, moving on with your life, and not thinking of its contents any further. For some people, this is fine. They have only read the book as an interesting distraction from the course of their everyday life, and not something they actually wish to use to their own benefit. If you do possibly intend to go out and take action on what you have read, then be careful. Seduction techniques are powerful and some people are fragile and you do not necessarily know if they respond normally or not. It is all well and good to think that you are mentally equipped to deal with the consequences of experimenting within the field of dark seduction. However, when it comes down to it, a lot of people are not prepared for the intensity of the emotional responses and the feeling of power they get when trying these ideas out for themselves. You may wish to go slowly at first and gain a level of familiarity and comfort with what you are doing before trying out some of the more advanced ideas you have read. You will also want to be sure that you are capable of dealing with the consequences. People will become addicted to you and will chase you and this is something that can cause problems later in your life. Be warned - the game is serious.
