The Secret Message…
CR,
I’m dating a girl who’s read [a seduction book for guys]…
Its complicating things a bit.
She seems to be “grading” me on my seduction skill on a conscious level.
In my opinion if she wants to be seduced then her thinking about and analyzing my behavior it is working against that end. Whenever i do anything slightly unseductive according to her book she seizes on it and penalizes me for it purposefully. To make matters worse sometimes it seems like she’s trying to use some of these techniques on me! The problem with that of course it that the techniques are designed to be used by men on women.
Of course i’ve now read the same book she read to get her “answer key” (your stuff is much more powerful btw) and she hasn’t read your stuff, so I do have a “secret weapon.” my question to you is what else can be done to level the playing field?
Hey “Rob”
What’s up…
That’s a good question…
(Here’s one way)
If your g/f is constantly evaluating your ‘seduction skills’, then in most cases you can’t technically win b/c you’re playing HER game and by her rules…
That’s probably the easiest way to explain it… on a deeper level, what’s happening is she is (will be) perceiving your “actions” colored by her existing perceptions & beliefs….
Basically, you need to be thinking about what you can say that puts YOU in the position of the ‘evaluator’…
Start playfully evaluating HER more… (not to be an asshole, but to “switch” the evalutor position)
Get out of the role of:
- the guy who plays her game
- the guy who tries to impress her
- the guy who REACTS (i.e. to her comments
- etc
That messes things up for the guy on a some level that the woman isn’t fully aware of…
Quality women are drawn to the quality guy who plays by his own rules.
You’ll want to start:
- Giving her “strategic compliments” (but it has to be “real” and done the right way)(as a frame of mind, it’s not about lying or being deceitful [in fact that's what low-valued guys do]… instead it’s about “artfully” expressing yourself…
- Start exposing her to concepts where WOMEN are in roles of the “one who impresses the guy” (because when a woman is behaving like your g/f is, this is the “medicine” that she needs…
…for example, let’s say this was an example:
You could say to her:
“You know I was reading an article about an interesting social experiment. They asked women to rate how effective they were at seducing their partner.
They asked each of the 1000 women, how long would it take to get their male partners to agree to having sex.
…if she decided to take on this “secret contest” (without the guy knowing)… On average the women predicted that it would take 3 minutes at the most, but when they actually DID the experiment, 90% of the women took over 7 hours to FINALLY break the guy down… And over 50% never even got the guy in the bedroom – even though some of these guys had begged her for sex in the past.
The experiment was done by an arrogant scientist who “loosely implied” that women’s brains are “somewhat less efficient” than the male brain. And that’s why women GROSSLY OVERESTIMATE their abilities.
He says most women believed in FAIRY TALES when they were younger. And that most women take on average 2 hours to THINK about what shoes they are going to wear in the morning. So the fact that 90% of women DREAM UP this idea that they are good at seducing men isn’t shocking.
The arrogant scientist guy stated that MOST WOMEN flat out suck at getting a guy turned on even though they don’t realize it…
This is something that I kind of made up, just to make the point. In real life, you want to use verifible information. Along with that you want to know “what type of stories/information” motivates YOUR WOMAN…
Had this story been real, it would be PERFECT for a woman who:
- GETS INTENSELY MOTIVATED by proving that she is just as good as the guys
- GETS INTENSELY MOTIVATED be proving that she is sexy (according the rules that have been recently “primed” in her mind)
(Hopefully this makes sense.)
In order for any guy to see this type of method as being “manipulative” is for him to perceive the woman as being broken, defective or inferior.
Personally I believe in “truly understanding” a woman’s viewpoint – and the way she sees the world. And for any guy who really wants to be effective he MUST step into her world and appreciate the unique way that she gets motivated…
If it takes a “story” like this to get her “excited” about proving that she is “sexy” – then accept that.
Being the guy who looks down on her and judges is “played out”…it’s not in style anymore…
So, this is an example of a strategic conversation that dramatically impacts her viewpoint.
Becoming skilled at getting your woman aroused is not only your responsibility (as a man), it’s easy and fun to do…
….when it’s done right, the affect is not only “super predictable” (and could easily act as a seduction technique all by itself) but the REAL COVERT PURPOSE is to “subtly shift” her closer to evaluating HERSELF (not YOU!!)… this will have greater long benefits…
There’s a difference between a guy who convinces his girlfriend into giving him a Lazy Blow Job one night (have you ever had one of those before. lol) and a guy who ‘subtly empowers’ his girlfriend with the BELIEF that she is ‘The Best Blow-jober on Planet Earth’ because she does something different that he hasn’t figure out yet…
Which guy is going to get MORE and HIGHER QUALITY blow jobs in his relationship?
hhhhhhmmmmmmm…. . this is tough one…
Is it going to be the guy who PRESSURES, ASKS, and BEGS???
OOOORRRRRRRR…. will it be the guy who EMPOWERS her mind for the long-term by getting his giggling-girlfriend:
- HEROINE-ADDICTED to the feeling of: “being the best”
- HEROINE-ADDICTED to the feeling of: “being in an ELITE group”
- HEROINE-ADDICTED to the feeling of: “being mysterious”
- HEROINE-ADDICTED to the feeling of: “being sexually fun”
You get the idea…
Hope that helps….
Warmly
CR James
P.S. If you own a copy of Super Lust Buttons (SuperLustButtons.com)
I would suggest that you re-read it, because in a way, this could be
thought of as “Phase II”

Hey Gail
I figured you’d enjoy hearing about the poor guy getting tortured. LOL.
She really had him squirming…

Great advice. Regardless what the game is, when a girl is playing these dominance games (trying to suck you into reacting to her frame) it’s important to realize that it IS a game, and not to take it too seriously.
The thing about people who know a little bit about something is that they start to see it everywhere. That’s where she’s at. It gives her the justification to judge (in her mind), and judging puts her in control, rather than being at the effect of these techniques.
But since she’s also not really sure what really works and what doesn’t, except from what she’s read, the guy can still have advantage.
Just for fun, he ought to point out to her that she never detected the stuff that he worked on her, because when it’s done right it seems perfectly natural to a woman. She’s likely to spend a few days going nuts trying to figure out what he did (even if he didn’t do anything). As long as he keeps her guessing, HE’S the authority to her.
(I have to wonder whether a girl who’s such a game player is worth the effort, but I guess she must have some good qualities!)

great response jeff
(the keep her “thinking” is always a good move in that situation)

An interesting scenario. This reminds me of being a kid on the playground, and the girl with pigtails (who knows you love to pull pigtails) challenges you to chase her. She has a strong will and a sharp intellect. And she is totally interested. Otherwise, you’d be on the sidelines. She wants:
1) Your attention.
2) Your approval.
3) For you to put her in her place. That’s right. Women of high power and influence LOVE to be dominated. Smack her tush and make her call you Daddy. Or Mr. Mayor. Or Mr. President.
She is begging for your attention. You are one lucky guy. Or skilled, for that matter. Don’t underestimate yourself. You are the one who will dominate her, not the other way around. Mr. James is right, as always. Heed his wisdom, and goode night, ye mates!

“Smack her tush and make her call you Daddy” – that’s the quote of the day… and the universal problem solver…

CR has made some great point here! Although this whole thing reminds me of my favourite sexist joke of all time:
Q. How do you know a woman is about to say something intelligent?
A. She starts her sentence with “a man once told me…”
lol

Dude , break the cycle by going out to social settings with her and fake interest from other females. Oh and be genuinely happy from the inside , women seem to pick up on this and the other females will want to ‘share’ in this happiness regardless of the company you have .
Your g/f will feel the heat!
Instructor CR James | Reply
Joe: Any advice starting with “break the cycle” is automatic wisdom.
Luigi: I’m telling your mommy on you.

Hey, Luigi !!!!!!!! A man once told me not to believe any thing a man told me !!!!!!

And another man, named St. Paul, told me to not accept everything any person tells me without thinking on it using what the Bible says. And another man, named Jesus Christ, told me to love God with all that i am and to treat people the way that i want to be treated.
And then there is the man named Solomon — ……
———————
But back to the letter
~~~~~~~~~~
Well, I owe everyone another apology for my reaction; we should never kick anyone when he/she is down and we should never say “I told you so” or the like —- God knows, it doesn’t take much for us to be in the same position as the person we are pointing our fingers at …..and like the saying goes, when we are point our finger at someone, three fingers are pointing back at us. I am so sorry.
And, to be honest, there is a reason that I was able to say that payback stinks with such adamancy; I’ve experienced my own share of “paybacks” — AND IT DOES STINK …. But, as I’ve also learned, pay-backs also teach a lot, too, most importantly, how the other person felt and how to put ourselves in another person’s shoes.
To give a constructive comment, though,
• I am wondering the reasons his girlfriend is trying to seduce him. That fact tells me that she is probably sexually hungry (see CR’s report about married/committed women cheats. I think this man might be fortunate that she is still seeking him for sexual intimacy, however clumsy she is at doing so, than going to another man.
• I am also wondering if the woman seeking to seduce this man might be the result of the SSP principle of forcing a woman to seduce the man if she wants sex rather than the man seducing her and making her work for any sex that he’ll concede to give her …. again however clumsily she might be trying to do so. So, i’m wondering if this might be a case of “be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.”
• Also, there was one report that you wrote, CR, which actually told about how a woman used the same SSP seduction principles on men that you teach that a man use for women —– and saying how successful she was at doing so. And there are many SSP principles that I could see would apply to a woman as well as a man —- for example, those that teach about how a person to become comfortable with who he/she is. Plus, CR, you’ve mentioned using these same principles as a sales person with both men and women.
But I can see how her reading the literature she has would indeed be complicating this man’s seduction of his girlfriend using SSP. It would be like a martial artist trying to take down another martial artist vs. trying to take down an untrained private citizen …. even if that person has been taught in a different form of martial art it would still complicate taking him/her down because he/she would know how to attack, defend, and counter attack and would not be helpless as the untrained person would be.
One of my first impressions is this: I think this is a perfect example of what can happen when we separate love, mutual respect, and caring from sexual intimacy. It becomes self-serving for us and degrading and destructive to our partners. This situation looks like it is fast becoming a war — which person can out-“play” the other …. definitely not what I would call a “relationship”.
The only emotionally healthy way I can think of to “level off the playing field” for both of these people would be to stop “playing” each other entirely.
I liked what you advised, CR, that this gentleman should not play her games but I disagree that he should play his own games on her in response.
The way I have found to survive people who are trying to “play” me is to not play games at all …. to let them play all the games that they want to but to not be pulled into them —- sort of like when a person comes to you wanting to play one-on-one basket ball ….. but no matter how hard he/she tries, he/she can’t play at all unless you join him/her in playing the game.
Of course, having said that, I also am no longer naïve enough to believe anything that person says. I usually just try to be as genuine, honest and forthright as I know how to be while being neutral about whether or not I believe what the other person is telling me; I figure that if the person is trying to play me, the truth will eventually come out …. and if he/she isn’t trying to play me, that will come out, too.
I believe that this man playing his own games on his girlfriend would only serve to escalate the situation, especially since the girlfriend is already in the mind set of “go ahead; make my day”.
Plus, the games you mentioned do nothing but subjugate a woman under a man’s dominance, something that gets most of us women up in arms in a heartbeat. And any person worth his/her salt would rebel against such demeaning actions, man or woman, even as this man himself is rebelling.
Rather, I would advise the man to talk with his girlfriend about what she is doing and its consequences not only to him but their love life, even as you had mentioned —- and advise him to tell his girlfriend the ways he does like to be seduced. And, to be honest, that is something they should be working on doing with each other already — he should be as open to her needs as she should be to his.
But, having said that, if I were to advise the woman, it would be to turn her “pickiness” to a positive.
I tend to be very detail oriented myself, noticing the smallest thing and bringing it up. In many ways this is one of my strengths, especially in my professions. However, any strength carried to an extreme becomes a weakness. Unfortunately, most of what I noticed and confronted was anything negative.
But then I heard someone on the radio give a piece of advise to detail oriented people like me —- to “notice what people are doing RIGHT and tell them about it”, instead of only telling them about what they are doing wrong. It took something that I do automatically and made something positive out of it. And it is not only easier for people to live with me, but it has become something actually FUN for me to do. I love doing it —- and of course, there is that principle of “doing random acts of kindness” that is also a whole lot of fun.
And, so she knows that she doesn’t have to NOT tell him about what he is doing wrong and/or is a turn off for her, I’d also advise her about two more principles that I’ve learned:
1. that people need to hear ten positive things about themselves or that they have done right for every one that we tell them is negative or that they’ve done wrong
2. that when we do confide to them something that they’ve done wrong, we should sandwich it between at least two things that they have done right or are positive about them ~~~ and remember that a person’s soul is the most fragile thing on earth …. including a man’s (despite their man’s man pronouncements to the contrary).
(As a side note to any gentlemen who refuse to cry because they fear not looking like a man: I still remember the first time I saw my father cry; I didn’t see him as less of a man, but as a far greater man ….and as a far greater and whole person.)
It is basically going back to that age old principle Jesus taught in the Bible: treating other people the way you want to be treated.
And these are principles would apply to how he communicates with her, too.
I guess that is it.
Thank you for your input, CR.
I always appreciate you insights and their unique wisdoms. So often you bring up concepts I’ve never thought about or only suspected —– like when you mentioned empowering a woman sexually as well as professionally and socially. It is true that I would not tolerate living with a husband who use SSP tactics on me, but SSP also has some excellent principles that I would love him to adopt if he needed to ….the ones that help him to be comfortable with who he is as an individual — the person Jesus created him to be.

Hey, CR, if a man tried the “smack her on her tush and tell her to call you Daddy” on me, he’d better be smiling (widely !!!!!) or he just might end up sitting on the floor looking up at me — after a long period of time unconsious.
Jim | Reply
If thus gal is trying to seduce him, what’s the problem?
I’d say, smile and tell her that she has his permission to try anything she likes, but not to expect anything to work. And then, do as he pleases – let her win, or not.
And when she “wins” let her know that she just did exactly what he wanted her to, with no further explanation. (Classified – if I tell you, I’ll have to kill you, and we can’t have that, can we?) That should keep her either guessing, or happy.

Does anyone not recognize that the seduction techniques and “the game” taught by CR and others were first developed and long practiced by women?
What we’re doing here is adopting their methods… stealing their material, if you will… and using it on them. Once we’ve stolen their material and used it on them, it leaves them without a game plan.
Dave | Reply
Let me go a step further. Since Rob has stolen the women’s (women referring to women in general, not necessarily his girfriend) game, critiquing his game has become her fallback position.
In other words, if she can’t run the game, she’ll just critique his.
She is actually responding to Rob’s game, in a somewhat unusual way. Since she is responding, rather than running the game, she is really playing Rob’s game (in her own way).
Being the responder doesn’t really put her in control of the relationship (which is what these techniques have historically done for the female) — AS LONG AS Rob doesn’t allow this to become a head game which he perceives himself as losing.
I’d suggest that the proper response, when she critiques his game, is to laugh at her — and playfully suggest that she really doesn’t understand the game or what’s going on beneath the surface, then move on to a new topic. She will likely try to get Rob to enlighten her, at which point Rob declines to give away his “trade secrets.” If done properly (teasingly and with a smile), this head game trumps hers.

The proclamations of the European eight (including the three central European candidates) and the Vilnius Ten must have greatly disappointed Germany – the unwavering sponsor of EU enlargement. Any further flagrant siding with the United States against the inner core of the EU would merely compound those errors of judgment. The EU can punish the revenant nations of the communist bloc with the same dedication and effectiveness with which it has hitherto rewarded them.
