Hypnosis

Ok so the next part of the book that really 'took' me was a system someone uses that is pretty much Hypnosis. This upsets me. They learn/teach to use certain words and ways of speaking to literally hypnotize women into thinking they like them. This I don't like. It is one thing to learn how to show confidence and or how to get a women's attention, but there is a line. I have no problem with men using 'gimmicks' to pick up women because ultimately we fall for the guy behind the show. It is getting our attention that is hard. Getting women to sleep with you by hypnosis is just plan sleazy.
Now to be clear this guy isn't putting women in a trance or anything, but he is using key words almost subliminal messages to 'convince' them they are into him. I find that weird and disturbing. I am not going to go much more into this because they don't actually go into a lot of detail in the book, so I feel I will misrepresent the book by interpretation if I do.
If you have any comments please share.

Sex Magic

Ok so here is a guideline that one of the pick up artists has written for his followers. I will try to explain if there are terms that are unclear.

1) Smile when you walk into a room. See the group with the target and follow the three second rule. Do not hesitate - approach instantly.
This is mostly self explanatory. The three second rule is basically that the man has to approach the target (or group) right away. By the way if the target is in a group he will ignore her and maybe even throw a snarky comment at her (called a Neg).

2) Recite a memorized opener, if not two or three in a row.
Self Explanatory, can be something as simple as "Did you guys watch the game tonight?"

3) The opener should open the group, not just the target. When talking ignore the target for the most part. If there are men in the group, focus your attention on the men.

4) Neg the target with one of the slew negs we've come up with.
Here is when he insults the girl he likes, if he does it right, he makes it seem cute.

5) Convey personality to the entire group. Do this by using stories, magic, anecdotes, and humour. Pay particular attention to the men and the less attractive women.

6) Neg the target again if appropriate.
Again insult her.. this guy gets laid a lot by the way.

7) Ask the group, "So, how does everyone know each other? ' if the target is with one of the guys inquire for how long.. then say "pleasure meeting you both".
This one bothers me because he isn't saying forget about the target, he is basically telling the guys to be nice to the boyfriends as they are going to still try to sleep with their girlfriends.

8) If she is single, say to the group "I've sort of been alienating your friend. Is it all right if I speak to her for a couple minutes?" Usually they agree.

9) Isolate her from the group by telling her you want to show her something. Take her to sit with you nearby. As you lead her through the crowd, do a kino test by holding her hand. If she squeezes back, its on. Start looking for other IOIs.
First of all I find this creepy, if I'm with my friends I'm not getting up and leaving to chat with you after you just insulted me.
Explanations: Kino test : physical touch test... if you touch her and she lets you its a good sign or an IOI (indicator of interest).


10) Sit her down and perform a Demonstrative Value.
In other words do a magic trick or play a mind game, recite a riddle... Um weird?

11) Tell her "Beauty is common but what's rare is a great energy and outlook on life. Tell me, what do you have inside that would make me what to know you as more then a mere face in the crowd?" if she begins to list qualities, this is a positive IOI.
Ok pleeeease tell me this doesn't work!

12) Stap talking. Does she reinitiate the chat with a question that begins with the word 'So?' . If so, you have seen 3 IOIs and you can move on to step 13.

13) Kiss Close. Say out of the blue "Would you like to kiss me?" If it's not a conduciveenvironment or have to go say "I have to go, but we should continue this" and then get her number and leave.
This one makes me laugh as I have heard it 100 times, the problem is they have a response for Yes - No and Maybe... here it is.
Yes - They kiss you.
No - They say "I didn't say you could, it just look like you had something on your mind"
Maybe - Say "Lets find out" and he kisses you.
So.. I have spent the last 3 days trying to think of a response that they couldn't get out of... and that is this.
"Do you want to kiss me?"
So now they are stuck. If they say yes, no or maybe and you are a bitch like me, you can say "thought so" and walk away.

That's all I have today. Back to the book...
