Anchoring is one of Shogun Method’s pillar techniques. They’re invaluable tools in taking your target up the IRAE Model, and they work well in any of the four IRAE Stages.

What are Anchors? Think of the sights, smells, sounds, and situations that remind you of good and bad memories in your life.

• Perhaps the scent or taste of pumpkin spice reminds you of your happier college days.
• Or maybe the sight of a circus clown freaks you out.
• Or maybe the sound of a steam locomotive reminds you of your childhood back in the country.
• Or maybe even the situation of solving Math problems remind you of the anxiety you felt in school.

I remember one Shogun Method practitioner with a weird Anchor. He told me that Michael Bolton’s rendition of Lean on Me makes him nauseous every time he hears it.

Naturally, I asked him why. He told me that when he was younger, he loved the song – until he used it to serenade his schoolyard crush.

It didn’t end well – the girl told him his voice was “gross,” and his entire class laughed at him.

Since then, that song gives him the feeling of being “gross,” and he feels the urge to throw up every time he hears it.

That’s a powerful, unpleasant Anchor.

You probably have strong Anchors in your own life, too. Those sights, sounds, scents, and situations are all Anchors.

Now here’s the thing…

When someone knows your Anchors and drops them on you, they can trigger those emotions on demand. In a sense, that person has control and power over you. They can influence your emotions, and in effect influence your decisions.

And guess what? You can have that power, too.

This Insider’s Guide will teach you how to create Anchors with women. With the right Anchors, you can control their emotions and, in effect, their decisions.

And with that power, you have more control over making your interactions end the way you want them to.

Positive Anchors

There are two types of Anchors: Positive and Negative.

Positive Anchors trigger positive emotions in your target. Two of the most common Positive Anchors are the following:

1. The Long-Five
2. The Self-Point

The Long-Five is a variation of the high-five. Here, you clasp her hand for a second or two longer than you normally would.

It’s popular because it’s easy to set – people naturally high-five other people who think and feel the same way as they do.

Let’s say you’re talking with a woman, and you realize you have lots in common. Then you realize she, like you, left home early to strike out on your own – and you raise your hand to high-five her. She gives you a high-five, but you catch her hand and hold onto it for a second.

That’s the Long-Five.

Here’s another example:

HER: “…I spent seven years serving in that organization. I thought that was my direction. But then I realized they were taking advantage of me. So, I served one last year and then left for good. I’ve been wandering ever since, trying to find a new purpose in life.”

YOU: “Wow… that’s tough. And it’s weird, because I find myself relating to you. I used to be a psychologist, and I thought I was doing good work. But there really comes a time when you get tired of dealing with other people’s crap, you know?”

HER: “Yeah, exactly! I hate that!”

YOU: (Motion for a high-five, then turn it into a Long-Five) “Yeah, fuck that. We should’ve realized years ago that life is all about balance, right?”

HER: “Too right!”

YOU: (Let go of the Long-Five) “Wow. No wonder I felt drawn to you. It’s like we’re walking the same path or something…”

See how the Long-Five works?

It’s harmless, but it’s unusual enough that she’ll associate the Long-Five with the feeling of commonality. And she’ll then associate that warm, comforting feeling with you.

Do this a few more times, and every time you give her a Long-Five, she’ll feel that warm, comforting feeling.

Meanwhile, the Self-Point is another powerful Positive Anchoring technique. It involves subtly pointing, motioning, or gesturing to yourself. You don’t necessarily need to literally point at yourself – an open palm will do just fine.

The Self-Point is great when talking about topics that make your target feel good. These include romance, ideal relationships, perfect partners, and so on.

For instance, let’s say she tells you about the traits she likes best in men. Then you repeat what she said “just to make sure you understood her correctly.” And as you mention the traits, you subtly do a Self-Point or three.

Clever, right?

Another example:

HER: “…I guess I just feel jealous of some of my friends. They’re married and their husbands are awesome. Meanwhile, here I am, floating, wandering aimlessly. It’s like I’m waiting for nothing.”

YOU: (Value Elicitation) “Huh. Call me curious, but what is it about their husbands that make them awesome?”

HER: “Well… they don’t suck at life, you know? They’re committed, they work hard, they sacrifice. I guess it’s the sacrifice part that gets me. Too many guys don’t have what it takes to do that.”

YOU: (Anchoring) “Mm. So you’re looking for a guy who’s (Self-Point) got his shit together, is that what you mean?”

HER: “Yeah, exactly – that’s a great way of putting it!”

Positive Anchors like the Long-Five and the Self-Point are great by themselves. And yet they’re even more powerful when used with contrasting Negative Anchors.

Negative Anchors

Negative Anchors trigger negative emotions in your target. Two of the more popular Negative Anchors are:

1. The Sticky Sigh
2. The Away-Point

The Sticky Sigh is a deep sigh accompanied by a look of discomfort or displeasure. It’s best used to discourage certain behaviors in your target. This especially includes those that delay escalation to the next IRAE Stage.

For instance, let’s say want to become friends-with-benefits with her (Attraction Stage). And yet she keeps talking to you about her boyfriend (Rapport Stage). So you do a Sticky Sigh. Three or four repetitions of this, and she’ll subconsciously get the hint.

Afterward, when you do a Sticky Sigh, she’ll feel that same discouragement. This is useful for “rollercoastering” techniques like Fractionation.

Here’s another example:

HER: “…So anyway, just yesterday, I heard from my ex-boyfriend again. He’s a real jerk, guess what he said to me…”

YOU: (Sticky Sigh) “Oh, boy. Here we go…”

HER: “…sorry, I know I’m ranting, I’ll make this quick, I promise. He told me…” (proceeds to rant to you about her ex-boyfriend again, but tries to keep it short this time)

Meanwhile, the Away-Point is the opposite of the Self-Point. You point, gesture, or motion AWAY from yourself. This makes her DISASSOCIATE any negative emotions from you.

The Away-Point fits right into interactions that make your target feel bad. Let’s say she tells you about her idiot boyfriend and what she hates about him. Then, “just to make sure you heard her right,” you repeat his negative traits. And as you mention each one, you do a few Away-Points here and there.

Using the previous example, let’s demonstrate the Away-Point:

HER: “…so that’s what he said. Why would he say something like that?”

YOU: “Hmm… it seems to me he…” (do an Away-Point) “…seems to be really insecure. I don’t know why you keep in touch with him.”

HER: “Really? He’s insecure? But he seems so sure of himself.”

YOU: “Well… I’ve noticed that guys who are sure of themselves…” (do a Self-Point) “…tend to not waste their time with revenge. They forget it, move on, and keep pursuing their mission in life. Insecure guys…” (do an Away-Point) “…only care about looking tough, like your ex is doing.”

HER: “Hmm… I never thought of it that way.”

Another good opportunity to use the Away-Point is when you’re doing Segregation on her. As you talk about what you have in common, you do Self-Points. But as you talk about social norms you both disagree with, you do Away-Points.

This is a powerful way to build Rapport and, later on, Attraction.

Now, no matter what kind of Anchor you want to set in your target, keep this mind:

You need at least three successful “implantations” before it sticks.

Once it sticks, you can drop the Anchor and trigger the emotion at will.

Next-Level Anchoring

Anchoring is a powerful technique, even if it’s unfocused in its basic nature. The standard approach is to assign one Positive Anchor to all good emotions in general. Likewise, you assign one Negative Anchor to all negative emotions in general.

To harness its true power, you must move up to the next level – Enslavement Anchoring.

Enslavement Anchoring is a laser-focused approach to Anchoring. With it, you assign one Anchor per specific emotion.

This involves additional steps, including Advanced Value Elicitation. This is because you’ll need to uncover your target’s VAKSOG Mode(s) to create even more powerful Anchors.

It’s a bit of extra work, but the results are incredible. Enslavement Anchors are exceptionally stronger than standard Anchors. They can likewise make escalation across the IRAE stages easier, all the way into Enslavement.

Use Enslavement Anchoring on your woman today. The Shogun’s Guide To Enslavement Anchoring will show you how. This premium program is free with any purchase of the Barnum Manuscript Mobile PlusPack which is available ONLY if you are an existing owner of the core Barnum Manuscript program.

We need to talk about Intrigue for a second. 

Last week, a client of mine named Greg burst into my office and slumped himself on my sofa. 

‘Derek, it keeps happening. I’ve had five different women this week reject me within seconds of approaching them.’

Greg was defeated and on the verge of tears. He’d been having the same problem for months now, and it was clearly beginning to take its toll. 

Luckily, I’d seen this problem a million times, and not only that, I was seeing it a lot more recently. 

‘They just don’t respond to me,’ Greg said. ‘What am I doing wrong?’ 

Sounds familiar, yes?

You’ve all felt that awkward silence after an Implanted Command hasn’t landed. You’ve all had to stare at a confused face after a Shogun Sequence you spent hours memorizing has gone right over her head. 

Yeah, I know it sucks, but I’m going to help you fix it. There’s a good reason these things happen, but don’t worry, it’s got nothing to do with your scripts, your delivery, or anything like that. 

Quite simply, it’s because you’ve forgotten one of the core fundamentals of the Shogun Method. 

Remember: The Shogun Method is sequential by design. You can’t just mix and match techniques and hope they land, because chances are they won’t. You need to go from Intrigue to Rapport to Attract and eventually to Enslavement, never deviating and never missing a beat.

The IRAE Model is sacrosanct!

Of course, it’s very easy to forget this, as Greg had. He told me that he jumped in at Attraction with a woman because he felt a spark with her. He told me he went straight in with a Boyfriend Destroyer on a hot married colleague.

And of course, this got him nowhere. 

He didn’t see any results, he got frustrated and he found himself in an even worse place than when he started. Greg forgot that the most important part of the Shogun Method is the fundamentals. Everything outside of these is an add-on. The fundamentals are fundamentals for a reason, and slipping up on them can be the difference between success and failure. 

All of the fundamentals are important, but there’s one I value above the rest:

Intrigue.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Intrigue is everything. 

Without it, everything else will fall apart – I can’t stress this enough. 

We’ll come to exactly why Intrigue is so important in a second, but just remember this: Enslavement starts and ends with a successful Intrigue. You can suck at everything else in the Shogun Method and still find success providing you’re a master of Intrigue. 

And by the end of this Insider’s Guide, that’s exactly what you’ll to be.  

Yes, Intrigue Is Kind Of A Big Deal

Think of Intrigue as the foundations of a house. With strong foundations, the house will be stable and secure. It will be able to withstand more problems. It won’t collapse at the first sign of danger.

The problem I’m seeing recently is that a lot of my clients have forgotten this. Enslavement follows a rigid structure and the first – and most important – step of that structure is Intrigue. 

Intrigue – and by extension, any conversation with a woman – always begins with an Intrigue Ping. No exceptions. Remember this. Drill it into your head until it’s second nature, because not starting with an Intrigue Ping this is the number one reason conversations fall flat. It’s the reason she rolls her eyes, walks away and leaves you wondering where you screwed up.  

Enslavement is the result of mentally engaging with a woman over a long period of time, and Intrigue Pings have been purposely crafted to kick this process off with a bang. Intrigue Pings hold her attention and begin the self-seduction process in the most effective way possible.

So with that in mind, let’s talk a little psychology.

The Inner Workings of an Intrigue Ping

Ever heard of the Benjamin Franklin Effect? 

This little-known technique is what a lot of CEOs used to climb their way to the top of the corporate ladder. It’s a psychological hack which forces people to like you.

Sounds kinda weird, doesn’t it?  

Well, it goes like this:

Get someone to do you a favor, and they’ll start to like you. 

While we won’t get too deep into the cognitive processes behind it, it comes down to this little psychological principle:

We find it difficult to reconcile the fact that we did a favor for someone we dislike, so we assume that we like them.

Let’s say some guy at work asked you to lend him five dollars. You reluctantly do it. Your subconscious then tells you: 

I’d never lend five dollars to someone I hate. Therefore, I must like that guy. 

Even if you were indifferent to that guy before, the likability scales are going to tip in his favor from now on. 

So let’s ask the important question: How does this relate to Intrigue? 

Well, Intrigue Pings and designed to exploit the same principle as the Benjamin Franklin effect. Intrigue Pings attack the subconscious, gradually convincing her that she likes you and that you’re worth thinking about. The longer you’re in her head, the more you lay those foundations we were talking about. 

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. In the next section, I’m going to show you how to take Intrigue Pings to the next level.

Intrigue Pings: Reloaded

Now, I apologize to those of you who already knew all of the above. I know I’ve covered similar areas in the Intrigue Black Book, so if you want an in-depth breakdown of Intrigue Pings and the psychology behind them, check the program out. 

But for now, let’s head into some new territory. 

One of Greg’s problems was that he could never think of anything to say when he approached someone new.

Contextualization is an important aspect of the Shogun Method, but I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to think on your feet, especially when there’s a hot woman in front of you. 

So I’ve created some brand new Intrigue Pings that you can simply memorize and use anywhere. Any woman, any situation, any location. Once the Ping is delivered, it’s just a matter of letting the conversation flow. 

Here we go:

---

You: “Can I make an assumption?”

Her: “Sure.”

You: “You like your job, but you’d rather be doing something more creative, right?”

---

You: “Can I say something that some girls might find offensive?”

Her: “Go for it.”

You: “You look like the kind of girl who can hold her drink. Am I right?” 

---

You: “I’m going to ask you a question, and I want you to answer without thinking. Ready?”

Her: “I’m ready.”

You: “Rock star or porn star – pick one.” 

(This one is particularly good because it can go two ways. Either she’ll say “I think I’d rather sleep with a rock star” and you can say “No, I meant which one would you rather be!” or vice versa).

---

You: “Excuse me, could I ask your name?”

Her: “Emma.”

You: “That’s strange. That’s the name of my ex-wife. Well, she’s not my ex-wife yet. In fact, we’ve only just met.”

(This Ping immediately disqualifies her from any romantic attachment with you).

---

You: “I’m going to say this slowly so you can take it all in.”

Her: “What’s that?”

You: “You’d look much better with a coffee in your hand.”

(Replace coffee with an alcoholic drink if you’re in a nightlife environment). 

---

You: “Breathe slowly. I have a question for you.”

Her: “Yes?”

You: “How come we’ve never met before?”

(This is a variation of an Advanced Intrigue Ping from the Intrigue Black Book, and it works a treat. Give it a shot!)

Intrigue Pings 2.0 – “Intrigue Sequences”

So, let’s say you’ve mastered Intrigue Pings. Now what? 

Not so fast, because there’s actually a whole other layer we haven’t covered yet. 

Since Intrigue Pings are a fundamental part of the IRAE Model (meaning you can’t skip them like you can with a Shogun Sequence or Conversational Hook), we’ve spent a great deal of time tweaking Intrigue Pings to absolute perfection. 

It’s totally possible to take Intrigue Pings to the next level by incorporating an additional component to your scripts. 

Presenting: Intrigue Sequences. 

Those familiar with the Barnum Manuscript will know the power of psychic components hidden in your manipulation scripts. Psychic components allow you to disguise requests as straightforward commands, in a similar way to Implanted Commands. 

But unlike normal Shogun Sequences and Implanted Commands, Intrigue Sequences require a little interaction on her part. You can’t just deliver an Intrigue Sequence at her. They’re slightly longer than regular Intrigue Pings and must contain a psychic component of some sort. I’ve highlighted the psychic parts in bold in the below example. 

It goes like this:

---

You: “I might regret telling you this, but I think it needs to be said.”

Her: “Tell me what?”

You: “There’s something about you that grabs my attention. I can’t quite tell what it is. Maybe you’ll tell me a few things about yourself and it will reveal itself, or maybe you’re going to keep me here guessing all night. 

---

See how it works? 

Here are two more Intrigue Sequences you can use in any situation:

---

You: “If I make a prediction, will you tell me if I’m right?”

Her: “Sure.”

You: “You’re currently struggling with a big decision. You’re torn between two guys. You know that neither is perfect for you, but you think that you can change them. However, what you really want is a new guy, completely different from those two, to whisk you off your feet.”

---

You: “Forgive me for asking this, but can I say something important to you?”

Her: “Go for it.”

You: “Something in your eyes tells me you’ve had a lot of ups and downs in your life, but each of them has made you a stronger person. You know exactly what you want from life, friends, and relationships – but you’re lacking in one of them. I think you’re still searching for that person who will connect everything for you.”

What Next?

The serious Shogun who wants an advanced mastery of crafting effective Intrigue Pings should already have the Intrigue Black Book in his possession.

Remember that the “Chrono-Fractionation” premium program has been added to the Intrigue Black Book package at no extra charge.

Chrono-Fractionation is an Intrigue-laden routine based on the classic Fractionation sequence which deepens a woman’s attraction to you without inflicting the usual emotional burden on her.

Are you dealing with a woman who is frustrating the heck out of you?

Is she hard to live with? Does she make your life unnecessarily hard? Are you finding it harder and harder to keep her happy?

Want to know how to “fix” her without causing a divorce?

OK, here’s the thing…

“Problem wives” are more common than you think. They really are!

After all, it’s true when they say marriage doesn’t solve your relationship problems. Instead, it magnifies what’s already there. And some issues you may not have noticed while you were dating your wife come to the fore in marriage.

Now, in a normal dating relationship, this wouldn’t be a problem, right? I mean, after all, with what you know with Shogun Method, you’d simply Fractionate her into submission. Failing that, you’d simply replace her with someone better.

It’s different in marriage, though. You can’t replace her, and if you make a mistake trying to “fix” her, it could lead to a costly divorce. It’s tough.

Fortunately, it’s not a problem that can’t be solved. In this Shogun Method Insider’s Guide, we’ll tackle two of the most common kinds of “problem wives.” They’re the Dominant Wife and the Inconsistent Wife. And you’re about to learn how to “fix” them without causing a divorce.

The Dominant Wife

Whenever you say or do anything, the Dominant Wife responds in one of two ways:

1. She either disagrees with you and tells you why…
2. Or she agrees more forcefully with you… and then tells you why.

If that sounds familiar, then you know how difficult it is. Your wife obviously wants to lead the relationship. And she will take any opportunity to put herself in a more dominant position. Yes, even if it strains the marriage.

Imagine you’re having a simple conversation. She’ll then challenge your point (regardless if it’s right or wrong). Or if your point is a good one, she’ll “steal” it, making it her own, and knocking you down a peg.

So how do you deal with a Dominant Wife?

Make no mistake – you must establish your dominance. And the fastest way to do so is by using Dread Game.

Over time, you’ll want to make her fear the prospect of losing you more and more. You do this by:

• Becoming more attractive, starting with upgrading your fashion sense and getting fit
• Pursuing “manly hobbies,” like contact sports, woodworking, doomsday prepping, etc.
• Join organizations to meet new people, especially attractive and like-minded women.

And over the short term, you’ll want to express your disapproval of her attitude. You can tell her: “I don’t appreciate how you keep disagreeing with me,” or “I don’t like how catty you’re becoming.”

And when she keeps it up, you pack your bags and “disappear” for a few days. You come back on your terms, or when she apologizes and begs you back.

Do this as often as you need to until she settles into a more submissive, supportive attitude.

The Inconsistent Wife

The Inconsistent Wife is one who says one thing, and then does something else.

She’s also the one who’s hot for you one moment, then ice-cold the next.

And, yes, the Inconsistent Wife is the one who drops hints here and there. She hopes you’d pick them up, and she gets frustrated when you don’t.

If that sounds like your wife, then here’s the first thing you need to know:

It’s Better She Stays Inconsistent.

Here’s why. What you’re experiencing with her is “Covert Communication.”

In layman’s terms, it’s “Mixed Signals” – something every man has experienced with women.

Covert Communication is the opposite of Overt Communication. And Overt Communication is pretty much “saying what you mean.”

Covert Communication is nothing like that. Instead, it uses hints, double meanings, and hidden messages.

Now, why would your wife do that to you? Why would she be inconsistent when she could just tell you what she wants?

Here’s why:

It’s another elaborate test, borne out of the inherent unfairness of society towards women. Historically, it hasn’t been a good idea for women to speak their minds. And that goes double for when it came to dating, attraction, and seduction.

Think about it: When a guy openly flirts with a woman he just met, society would call him “smooth,” or “suave,” or “a ladies’ man.”

Meanwhile, when a woman openly flirts with a guy she just met, society would call her “slutty,” or “loose,” or “easy.” It may sound unfair, but that’s the way it is.

So what’s a woman to do? Naturally, she’ll adopt a different way of communicating – one that allows her to do two things at the same time:

1. To express her true feelings, and
2. To only be understood by the strongest, most dominant, most “alpha” men out there.

And that’s how Covert Communication came to be.

As it plays out, Covert Communication helps a woman weed out the weakest men from her pool of admirers. Her hints and mixed signals tend to frustrate or intimidate weaker men.

And so, when a woman sends you Mixed Signals, you ask, “Why can’t you just tell me what you want?” That, then, gives her a clear message: You’re a weak man.

And so she drops you from her radar and continues looking around for stronger men to date.

Now, you might be thinking:

“Wait – we’re already married. Why in the world would she need to ‘weed me out’ or anything like that?”

To answer that question, put yourself in her shoes for a moment. What if your partner, the one you expected to lead you, protect you, and provide for you… turns out to be incapable in some or all those areas?

You’d panic, right? Naturally – you’re stuck with that person for life. There’s the option of divorce, but that’s a massive headache that you’d like to avoid.

So your only other option is – you guessed it – to try to change your partner.

And so your wife instinctively reverts to her “Mixed Signals.” She tries to “hint” you into becoming a better man for her.

The more you react to her with anger, confusion, or weakness, the more panicked she feels. As a result, she’ll “test” you more frequently.

And when she finally tells you directly how she feels, that’s a bad sign – because it’s a sign she’s given up on you. It’s a sign she’s pretty much ready to move on from you.

And that’s a point you’ll want to avoid reaching at all costs.

The key is to have an “educated guess” as to what she wants. It’s not always easy to read between her lines. She usually wants more safety/security when she makes pitiful statements like:

• “I miss the old days.”
• “I’m tired.”
• “I’m sick of being poor/trapped/stressed.”

Meanwhile, she wants excitement/stimulation when she says abrasive things like:

• “You’re boring.”
• “This marriage is a pain sometimes.”
• “I wish we were more like Jim and Mary – they’re having the time of their lives.”

The key here is to give her what she needs – whether it’s security or excitement – but give it to her in a way she doesn’t expect.

For example, she says she’s tired of being stressed all the time. You then surprise her by booking a vacation for two without telling her.

Or if she says you’re boring, you immediately take her by the hand. You twirl her twice, kiss her, and then tell her you’re taking her club-hopping.

Simple as that. The more unexpected your gesture is, the more dominant and capable she’ll see you as. She’ll then see less need to test you with Mixed Signals.

Eight More “Problem Wives” You May Be Forced To Deal With

In this Insider’s Guide, you just learned about two of the most common types of “problem wives” out there. And yet that’s not all of them. There’s more – at least eight more.

These eight more types of “problem wives” are:

1. The Angry Wife. She’s always angry at you for one reason or another.
2. The Fragile Wife. She’s the one who gets emotionally hurt way too easily.
3. The Rude Wife. She disrespects you way too often.
4. The Blaming Wife. She’s the one who never takes any responsibility.
5. The Change-Phobic Wife. She resists all kinds of change – even things that would make the marriage better.
6. The Competitive Wife. She’s the one who always wants the “last say.”
7. The Downer Wife. She always looks at the worst side of things and can spoil even the happiest moments in your marriage.
8. The Self-Centered Wife. She’s the one with the toxic “me-first” attitude.

If any of that sounds like your wife as well, then I urge you to dive into the  Shogun Method Marriage Troubleshooter program right now. Your marriage needs a strong, unquestioned leader – that leader needs to be you. And you can’t be that leader unless you can change your wife at will. Believe me because this is true.

The Shogun Method Marriage Troubleshooter program will let you do that and more. This is a premium add-on product which comes free with the Shogun Method For Married Men (SM³) program.

If you have already purchased the SM³ program, then guess what? I’ve already added the Marriage Troubleshooter inside your download area. Or, to find out more about the SM³ program, click here.

Answer this question with a “yes” or a “no”:

Do you trust what women tell you more than half the time?

If you answered “yes,” then guess what?

It might be the cause of whatever lack of success you have with women so far.

And here’s why:

Women are crafty by nature. Believe me because it’s true.

In a male-dominated society like ours, women need to get creative if they want to gain power over men.

You’ve probably seen how this creativity plays out in society:

• Women can often charm their way out of speeding tickets and minor offences.
• Attractive women tend to get the highest-paying secretary positions. And that’s even if there were more qualified (but less attractive) candidates.
• Female politicians can make a controversial, divisive position and NOT get challenged. And any man who tried would be publicly labeled “sexist.”
• If a woman wants a man to do an expensive, risky, or difficult favor for her, all she needs to do is promise him sex – and he’s sold.

You might even remember times in your life when women “scammed” you out of your money, time, or effort. That’s their creativity at work. That’s how they gain power over you and other men.

And truthfully, you can’t blame them for that; they are just acting out the way nature has intended them to be.

Knowing A Woman’s True Thoughts, Feelings And Intentions

Now, for us Shoguns, that presents a conundrum.

The best, most attractive women out there also tend to be the most creative. And that means the more attractive and high-quality a woman is, the more powerful she also is.

And by now, you already know that the only way to Enslave a woman is this:

To make her see you as the strongest, most dominant, most powerful guy in the world for her.

She must see you as someone she’d happily submit to.

Now, how exactly do you achieve that?

You’ll need to understand WHY a woman needs to be creative and cunning. Primarily, it’s to convince other people (especially men) to do what she wants… while she keeps her true thoughts, feelings, and intentions secret.

The key, therefore, is to know what those true thoughts, feelings, and intentions are. And that involves looking beyond the words she says to you.

And to do that, you’ll need to know how to decode her body language. And that’s what this Insider’s Guide will teach you.

How To Read A Woman’s Body Language

Human communication consists of two parts: Verbal and nonverbal.

And according to a popular study, communication is 7% verbal and 93% nonverbal.

Nonverbal communication consists of body language and tone of voice. And it’s where a woman’s true thoughts and feelings shine through. That’s even if she tries to hide it.

Why? Because nonverbal communication is subconscious. It takes a lot of effort and presence of mind to “fake” body language and tone of voice. Some women can do it (e.g. women who have trained in acting), but most can’t.

And it’s by reading her body language that you learn exactly what she’s thinking and feeling.

To be specific, the key is to know with certainty whether she’s in “Hot” or “Cold” Mode.

Once you do, you’ll know exactly what to do to move her further down the IRAE Model.

Hot vs. Cold Mode

Here’s a quick refresher about the “Hot” and “Cold” Modes:

A woman is in “Hot” Mode when she’s using her imagination – her “right brain,” so to speak.

She’s reminiscing, she’s fantasizing, she’s thinking in terms of “what if.” It’s in “Hot” Mode where a woman is open to your suggestions and manipulations.

On the other hand, a woman is in “Cold” mode when she’s using logic – her “left brain.”

This is when she’s analyzing, debating, or trying to be socially acceptable. When she’s in “Cold” Mode, she’s NOT open to your suggestions and manipulations.

When a woman is in “Hot” Mode with you, then your next course of action is simple. Escalate onto the next Stage in the IRAE Model. The “window” of opportunity is open – take it.

Meanwhile, if she’s in “Cold” Mode, then it means you need to spend more time warming her up. Your immediate goal is to put her into “Hot” Mode, and achieving that depends on the current Stage you’re in:

• If she’s “Cold” in the Intrigue Stage, your goal is to warm her up enough to engage you in small talk.
• If she’s “Cold” in the Rapport Stage, your goal is to re-establish the broken Rapport.
• If she’s “Cold” in the Attraction Stage, your goal is to make her feel that “spark” again.

Normally, it’s not easy to tell whether a woman is “Hot” or “Cold.” Women are crafty – they can hide their true thoughts and feelings extremely well.

For instance, a woman can SAY she likes you (and thus indicate she’s “Hot”)…

…but when you try to escalate, she rejects you HARD (meaning she was actually “Cold” all along).

The opposite is also true. A woman can indicate she’s “Cold” towards you, such as when she treats you rudely. But in reality, she’s MADLY IN LOVE with you, and she’s really only shit-testing you.

Unfortunately, since you guess she’s “Cold,” you don’t even try. And so a potentially beautiful relationship never happens.

So how do you tell how she REALLY feels about you? By reading her body language.

Or, to be technical, by reading her “Shogun Cues.”

Shogun Cues: The Key To Decoding Her Body Language

Shogun Cues are her body language tics that reveal her true thoughts and feelings about you.

There are seven Shogun Cues in all, and I cover them in a special report which I will tell you about in the end of this Insider’s Guide. But for now, here are the three Shogun Cues you’ll want to learn about if you want to get good fast.

Shogun Cue #1: Her Poise

First of all, check the following while she’s interacting with you:

1. How she holds her head above her shoulders: Up high, down low, or to the side.
2. How she holds her shoulders: Held back proudly, tense, or slouched.
3. How she walks: Confidently, robotically, or irregularly.
4. How she converses with you: Making eye contact, avoiding it, or giving you sideways glances.

If she holds her head up and shoulders back, walks confidently, and has no trouble keeping eye contact with you during the conversation… then it means she likes you. She’s in “Hot” Mode.

And that’s your cue to deepen Rapport and escalate. Your go-to tools in your Shogun Method arsenal for this situation would include:

• Entice/Repel (see Module 6 of Shogun Method)
• Barnum Statements
• Implanted Commands (see Module 5 of Shogun Method)

Meanwhile, if she keeps her head down and eyes turned away from you, if her shoulders are tense, and if she walks robotically… then it means she DOESN’T like you. She’s in “Cold” Mode.

That’s your cue to re-establish Rapport, primarily by using the Anti-Demand technique.

And lastly, if she turns her head away and casts sidelong glances at you, slouches her shoulders and walks irregularly… it means she’s 50-50. She’s halfway between “Hot” and “Cold.”

This situation is your cue to build familiarity with her. You continue getting to know her better while Mirroring and Verbal Mimicking.

Shogun Cue #2: Her Facial Expression

Her facial expressions will reveal just how honest she really is. Does her facial expression line up with the words she’s saying?

This Shogun Cue is fairly easy to spot:

• When she says “I’m listening,” but she looks bored, then she’s NOT really listening.
• When she says “That was interesting,” but she’s looking around, then she DIDN’T really find it interesting. Instead, she wants to get away from you ASAP.
• When she says “I like you” with a smile, but her eyes aren’t smiling with her mouth, then she DOESN’T really like you. She just doesn’t want to hurt your feelings.

When her facial expressions don’t line up with what she’s saying, it means she’s in “Cold” Mode. You probably said or did something that made her break Rapport.

And that means your immediate goal is to re-establish Rapport or build familiarity.

Shogun Cue #3: Her Voice Tonality

Lastly, her tone of voice will reveal how she really feels, despite what she might say. You’ll know whether she’s feeling comfortable, uncomfortable, or civil with you.

If her tone of voice sounds natural and effortless, then it means she’s comfortable with you. That’s your cue to build familiarity, deepen Rapport, and escalate onto Attraction.

Meanwhile, if her tone of voice is slow and measured, it means she’s just being civil and polite with you. Continue building familiarity with her until her tone becomes more natural and effortless.

But if her voice tonality is terse and to-the-point, then it means she’s uncomfortable. She’s probably looking to disengage. That’s your cue to re-establish Rapport or build familiarity.

Watch Out For Those Shogun Cues

There you have it – three Shogun Cues that should clue you in on her REAL thoughts and feelings.

There are more Shogun Cues out there, actually – four more. These are inside the Shogun Cues premium program which comes free with your Intrigue Black Book Mobile PlusPack.

Do you REALLY love me?”

“You’re seeing other women, aren’t you?”

“You look ridiculous.”

“What have you done for me lately?”

“When are you going to propose to me?”

Has a woman ever said any of the above to you?

If so, then you’ve just been slapped with a “shit test.”

What’s a shit test?

It’s when a woman says something mean, or cruel, or disrespectful to you… for the sole purpose of “testing” you. She wants to see how you react.

And whether you “pass” or “fail” a woman’s shit tests will determine how good your relationship will be.

But why do women shit test men in the first place? Why don’t they just come up and talk to us like adults?

Two reasons.

First of all, women are inherently insecure creatures. They need to be assured and reassured regularly. And this need for reassurance is STRONGEST in romantic relationships.

And secondly…

Because when she has to TELL you what she wants, then you’ve already proven you don’t KNOW what she wants.

And if she loves you, that’s a conclusion she wishes she’d NEVER get to. It would break her heart.

And so she gives you one shit test after another. She’s giving you as many chances as possible to “pass” her tests and give her the reassurance she wants.

Fail her tests, and your relationship gets worse and worse.

Pass her tests, and your relationship gets better and better.

Make no mistake:

Passing shit tests is a critical skill to have. And sadly, it’s a skill most guys – even many Shogun Method practitioners – don’t have.

Do YOU know how to pass shit tests?

Let’s find out.

The Three (Horribly) Wrong Ways To Deal With Shit Tests

Most guys deal with shit tests in three ways. See if you’re guilty of any of them:

Mistake #1: Complying or Appeasing

This is when she says something like, “What have you done for me lately?”, and you immediately take her on a fancy date.

Or when she asks, “When are you going to propose?”… and you immediately go shopping for a ring and planning an elaborate proposal.

Or when she says, “You look ridiculous,” and you ask: “What do you want me to wear, babe?”

Mistake #2: Getting Angry

This is when she says, “What have you done for me lately?”, and you go on a tirade about all you’ve done for her lately.

Or when she asks when you’re going to propose… and you flip out and tell her how you’re “trapped” in your current situation and how her impatience isn’t helping.

Or when she says you look ridiculous, you tell her to go eff herself.

Mistake #3: Getting Depressed

This is when she gives you a shit test, and you just shut down and avoid her, feeling like the worst scum in the world.

Have you ever dealt with shit tests in any of the three ways above?

If so, then you probably remember what happened next – things got worse between you and your woman.

That’s what happens when you deal with shit tests the wrong way.

So what’s the right way? How do you deal with shit tests in a way that makes your relationship BETTER?

Here’s how.

The Three Shogun Techniques To Deal With Shit Tests

Here’s what you need to understand: Relationships are all about DOMINANCE.

There’s no such thing as a “co-equal” relationship, no matter what the feminists say.

In any relationship, one partner will ALWAYS be more dominant than the other. And in the healthiest relationships, it’s the man who’s more dominant.

In relationships where the woman is more dominant, things tend to go badly.

Why? Because women know that their survival depends on locking down strong, dominant men.

They don’t know this consciously. But it’s hard-wired into their psyche.

Our female ancestors knew that if they DIDN’T have the protection and provision of a dominant man…

…they’re guaranteed a difficult life.

That’s hardly true in modern society, but our two-million-year-old brains are wired the same way. Women still feel that deep, undeniable attraction towards dominant, capable men.

And that attraction is what gives rise to their shit tests.

When a woman shit tests you, she’s trying to see whether or not you’re as capable and dominant as you let on.

When you pass the shit test, she realizes you ARE as dominant as she thinks, and she relaxes for now.

When you fail the shit test, she realizes you’re NOT as dominant as she thinks, and she panics.

So the two keys to a happy, successful relationship?

1. Over the long term, commit to becoming a truly strong, dominant, capable guy…
2. …and in the short term, know how to pass shit tests when they come your way.

This Insider’s Guide is all about the second key. You got to know how to pass shit tests in a way that makes you look like a truly badass man… even if you’re not quite there yet.

And here are the three correct techniques to do just that.

Technique #1: Conversation Domination

The fastest way to fail a shit test is to go into her frame of the conversation.

For instance, if she says, “You’re seeing another woman, aren’t you?”

…and you respond with “No, I’m not”… then you’re going into her frame.

The same thing happens when you ask her to sit down and tell you why she feels that way. You’re going into her frame.

And that’s bad because it makes you look LESS dominant than her. If you really WERE a dominant guy, you wouldn’t need to explain yourself to her. You wouldn’t show any weakness.

So instead of going into her frame, dominate it. Change it into YOUR frame.

When she says, “You’re seeing another woman, aren’t you,” respond in the following ways:

1. If you’re the “joker” type of guy, say: “Why? Are YOU seeing other guys?”
2. If you’re the “leader” type of guy, say: “I don’t like it when you read into the things I do. If women are after me, that’s on them. But I chose you and I’m here with you now. And now you’re second-guessing my commitment? I find that insulting.”
3. If you’re the “sarcastic” type of guy, say: “Oh yeah. Dozens. They just don’t know it.”

“Conversation Domination” is best used for insulting or challenging shit tests. For additional efficacy, pile it up with the “Focus Judo” technique (found inside the Social Power Handbook).

When she shit tests you NOT because she wants to challenge you, and instead you feel she’s craving attention or validation, then you’ll need a different technique…

Technique #2: Love-Bombing

Let’s say she says, “You’re seeing another woman, aren’t you?”, but she says it in a subdued, worried, depressed way… then she’s still shit testing you, but she doesn’t want to see your dominance.

Rather, she wants to see how much you love her.

This type of shit test is called a “comfort test,” and it’s addressed differently.

If you feel your woman is shit testing you to get love, then that’s exactly how you pass it. You give her love, but you give it in a way that she doesn’t expect:

1. If you’re the “joker” type of guy, say: “Yeah, women love me wherever I go. I only come home to you, though.”
2. If you’re the “leader” type of guy, say: “No,” kiss her, and then say; “I don’t need to.”
3. If you’re the “sarcastic” type of guy, say: “You’re the craziest, perkiest girl in the world. Why, oh why, would I ever need to see other women.”

The key is to give her the comfort she wants, but not in a way she expects. That does the trick of getting out of her frame and pulling her into yours.

And lastly…

Technique #3: Fear Setting

They say “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

And while shit tests will be a part of your relationship with a woman ‘til death do you part… there are ways to MINIMIZE them. And the best way to do that is to create healthy fear.

Think of it this way: The more afraid she is of losing you, the fewer shit tests you’ll need to deal with.

You can create healthy fear in the following ways:

• Having an active social life and a circle of friends that includes hot girls
• Having a purpose in life that’s bigger than your woman and relationship
• Not dropping everything you’re doing just to accommodate her
• Making it clear you do not tolerate disrespect in your relationship
• Being such a “catch” that she’d be terrified of the idea of losing you
• Etc.

When she FEELS you’re a strong, dominant guy (it doesn’t matter if you are or not), she won’t feel insecure. As a result, she won’t shit test you as much. That’s the prevention part of the equation.

And if she makes the mistake of testing you anyway, you trigger that healthy fear once… such as by disappearing for a day, or by berating her sternly… and she’ll back right down, and all will be right in your relationship again.

The Shogun’s Way In Handling Shit Tests

Shit testing is a social power dynamic. It reliably establishes who’s more dominant in the relationship.

The truth is this: More power you have over her, the happier and more successful your relationship will be.

If you’re new to Shogun Method, then you might find the idea of “power” abhorrent. That’s normal – it’s the effect of all the brainwashing you’ve gone through.

But understand this: The LESS power you have over her, the more likely your relationship will fail.

You see this in society wherever you look. Ever since this “equality” nonsense became mainstream, divorce rates shot up. Abandonment rates shot up. Domestic violence shot up.

Make no mistake. If you want peace in your relationship, you MUST have the power.

Inside the Social Power Handbook, it’ll teach you seven of the simplest and easiest ways to establish your power in a relationship. This is also where you can see seven Social Power techniques in action – including “Focus Judo”, “Guilt Induction” and “Positive Priming”.

Have you ever wondered how your Shogun Method peers are doing on their road to mastery?

You might wonder if you’re “normal,” or whether you’re taking too long to reach success, etc.

And it’s true – your Shogun Method peers really do progress toward mastery at different rates.

Some practitioners are fast. They get results ten times faster than everyone else. They get into Shogun Method and, in mere days or weeks, have achieved the relationship(s) they want.

I call these practitioners the “Prodigies” – like Mind Control is in their DNA or something.

Most other practitioners take longer. They’re more methodical and analytical, and so they move towards mastery one measured step at a time. These guys tend to achieve their desired results within a few weeks to a few months of practice.

I call these practitioners the “Disciples” – faithful and true.

And lastly, a few others never achieve the success they want with Shogun Method. They take forever to do anything, and when they fail once or twice, they give up and never try again.

I call these practitioners the “Dropouts” – they just couldn’t make the cut.

Now, this little revelation leads us to an important question. Why do some Shogun Method practitioners succeed ten times faster than everyone else? What do they have that most others don’t?

Is it luck? Is it skill? Is it a lack of fear?

Truth be told, these success stories have one thing in common. They use a certain “Mind Hack” when they practice Shogun Method. And it makes all the difference.

This Insider Guide will show you what that Mind Hack is. That way you, too, can achieve your desired results in dating ten times faster. Yes, ten times.

Before that, let’s set up the backdrop. Let’s discuss why some Shogun Method men have a lot of difficulty in their own road to success.

What’s Blocking You

Over the years, I’ve noticed that most men who have trouble with Shogun Method suffer from one thing.

Overthinking.

And I’m not just talking about hesitating before making a move and ending up losing the opportunity. It goes deeper than that – much deeper.

These men believe that everything they think, say, and do will affect the outcomes they get with women.

A couple of examples:

• When they’re preparing to use an Intrigue Ping on a woman they think: “Maybe if I approach now, I’ll startle her.” “Or maybe I should think of an Intrigue Ping that’s more situational, to maximize success.” “Or maybe I should approach her from the other side – it’s more natural.”
• When they’re building Rapport with a woman, they think: “Should I use a Barnum Statement here? I think she’ll see right through it.” “If I ask a follow-up question now, will I end up building Contextual Rapport?” “The last Implanted Command I gave didn’t land – what did I do wrong?”

What happens? Before making a move, they tend to freeze and miss the opportunity. While making a move, they over-analyze and end up flubbing their Sequences. And after a failed interaction with a woman, they’re at a total loss as to what they did wrong. After all, there are millions of possibilities.

If you’ve experienced any of that, then this is one of the most critical Insider’s Guides you’ll ever read. Pay close attention.

Do you tend to over-analyze, over-think, or over-worry? Then I recommend you use the Mind Hack that your happier, more successful Shogun Method peers use.

I call this Mind Hack…

“It’s Meant To Be”

Here’s what successful Shogun Method practitioners tend to believe, consciously or unconsciously:

If my efforts with this woman will lead to success with her, it’s meant to be. If I fail, it’s meant to be.

That’s it. Successful Shogun Method practitioners don’t obsess over a particular outcome they want. Instead, they believe whatever outcome they get is “meant to be.” Like it’s been pre-determined by God, or the universe, or by random chance, etc.

And so they don’t bother with the details. They just swoop in and run their Shogun Sequences on the woman they want to check out. If they succeed, it’s meant to be – if they don’t, it’s still meant to be.

Now, before you react, I want you to take a moment to think about two things.

First, imagine what it would be like if you, too, believed everything was “meant to be.” You no longer worry about the millions of things that “may happen” if you think, say, or do things differently. And instead, you just go in, practice, get a feel for what works, and get better with women over time.

What would your love life be like if that was your mindset?

Easier? Not scary anymore? Irresistibly exciting?

That’s precisely how your more successful peers feel all the time. That’s why they succeed much more quickly.

Now here’s the second thing to think about…

What do you think? Are we in fact not the masters of our fates? Have all our outcomes really been decided beforehand?

If you asked me, the answer would be “yes and no.”

First, “yes.” Studies have shown that the human brain makes decisions subconsciously. Our decisions aren’t only products of our conscious minds, but our unconscious minds as well.

You might have heard gurus say that our decisions are unconscious and emotional. It’s only later that we rationalize the choices we made using logic and reason. That’s also true.

So in a way, “yes.” We’re not 100% in control of our decisions, and therefore many of our outcomes are beyond our control. Our outcomes are more at the mercy of our environment, our desires, and our conditioning.

On the other hand, “no” – it doesn’t mean we’re totally not in control of our outcomes. In no way are we supposed to think: “What I do doesn’t matter anyway, so I won’t even bother trying.”That’s silly.

Instead, here’s what successful Shogun Method practitioners tend to think:

“I don’t know what the outcome of my decisions will be. But whatever it might be, I know it’s meant to be. So, I won’t worry about that and instead focus on two things. (1) I’ll deliver my Shogun Sequences and techniques correctly. (2) I’ll enjoy every second of my interactions with women.”

In short:

1. You accept the fact that your outcomes, whatever they might be, are meant to be that way; and
2. You control what you can control, and that’s the mindset you bring. You can choose to have the mindset of a winner or the mindset of a quitter.

That’s the secret. Your successful peers bring a strong “It’s Meant To Be” mindset into their interactions with women. They know their mindset is one thing they can control.

As a result, they move with confidence, optimism, and an Iron Man-esque level of swagger.

This unbreakable mindset, coupled with zero attachment to outcomes, is magnetic to women. It helps you deliver your Shogun Sequences and techniques more perfectly:

• You no longer care whether your planned Intrigue Ping is “situational enough.” You go in and deliver it. Whatever happens next, it’s meant to be.
• You no longer care whether your Barnum Statement is accurate or not. You make the read and let her mind fill in the blanks for you. Whatever happens next, it’s meant to be.
• You no longer worry whether your Implanted Commands will land. If they do, great – if they don’t, you’ll keep trying until you find the ones that do land. Whatever happens next, it’s meant to be.

That’s the Mind Hack. All your outcomes are meant to be. The only thing you can control is the mindset you bring into your interactions with women. Might as well make yours the mindset of a winner, right?

Bonus Tip: The Biggest Obstacle to Mastery With Women

Now here’s another thing to consider…

Do you want to uncover your biggest obstacle to mastery with women?

This Insider’s Guide just taught you that the “Meant To Be” Mind Hack is a crucial tool you must use. However, at the same time, it’s equally important (if not more so) to know about your biggest obstacle to success.

This obstacle is called “What If-ism.” It’s the mind’s natural tendency to ask “what if” before doing something risky:

• What if she rejects me?
• What if my Shogun Sequence falls flat?
• What if she sees right through me and calls me out?
• Etc.

Now, What If-ism may look like overthinking or outcome-attachment on the surface. Unfortunately, that’s actually a dangerously shallow understanding of the problem. In truth, What If-ism isn’t only one, but three problems in one.

That’s why it’s so hard to get rid of all the “what if” questions. Unless you address its three root problems at the same time, you’ll always be plagued by What If-ism.

So how do you eliminate What If-ism?

I cover all the answers in my newest special report, Your #1 Obstacle To Mastery Over Women. 

In this premium program, you’ll also learn:

• What type of Shogun Method practitioner are you – a Prodigy, a Disciple, or a Dropout?
• The three root causes of What If-ism, and how they keep you unhappy and unsuccessful
• The three mindset adjustments to make to eliminate What If-ism for good (important to know for every Shogun Method man)

Get rid of all the “what if” questions for good with the strategies inside this report.

The good news is that you can download this report for free. It’s part of the bonus package that accompanies the Barnum Manuscript package.

What is Dread Game?

Simply put, Dread (with a capital “D”) is simply the fear of losing one’s partner in a relationship.

In any relationship, one partner always feels more Dread than the other.

And for your sake, you’ll want your wife to feel more Dread than you. In other words, you’ll want her to be more afraid of losing you than you are about losing her.

It’s easy to see why.

You see, if she’s afraid of losing you, she won’t slack off or mess around. She’ll be respectful, supportive, and mindful of how well she treats you.

Makes sense, right?

On the other hand, if you’re more afraid of losing her than she is of losing you, bad things happen.

At the very minimum, she starts taking you for granted…

She criticizes you more. She becomes disrespectful and abrasive. She’ll start making unreasonable demands.

Think about this for a moment:

Have you ever been in a relationship with a woman who took you for granted, but you didn’t want to lose her? She might have been abusive and unreasonable. But despite all of that, you still worked your tail off to make the relationship work.

If that sounds familiar, I’ll tell you what was going on. She felt little to no Dread. You felt a LOT of it.

That’s the invisible, undeniable power of Dread at work in a relationship. And the art of using Dread to manage a strong, happy relationship is called “Dread Game.”

Who should use Dread Game?

Men whose relationships are in danger because they feel more Dread than their women do.

Here are some tell-tale signs she feels less Dread than you do:

• She criticizes you for the little things
• She nags you incessantly
• She makes unreasonable demands
• She makes critical decisions for your relationship without consulting you
• She goes out to parties and/or meets other men without telling you
• Other examples of behavior you disapprove of, but she does them anyway

How do you solve the problem and fix the relationship? Two ways:

1. By instilling more Dread in her; and
2. By decreasing the amount of Dread you feel.

Let’s take a look at both in turn.

Overt Dread

The first method is what we call “Overt Dread.” This is when you’re clearly instilling Dread in your woman, and you’re not hiding it at all.

Here are some examples of Overt Dread:

• Not giving in when you’re in an argument with her
• Threatening to leave her
• Flirting with other women in her presence
• Brushing it off when she accuses you of cheating
• Getting into an affair and letting her find out about it

Now, the advantage of Overt Dread is that it does work. It can shock a woman enough to get her act straight. She’ll realize she’s at a real risk of losing you. And if the value she stands to lose is big enough, she just might back down, apologize, and behave better.

The disadvantage? She might be in a position where:

1. She doesn’t stand to lose much if you leave her
2. Ending the relationship is in fact good for her, such as when she stands to get your money and property via a divorce

In this case, Overt Dread will backfire on you. That’s the main disadvantage of Overt Dread – it’s very risky. Most Shogun Method practitioners avoid using it, only saving it for worst-case scenarios.

And instead, most practitioners use a different, safer approach…

Covert Dread

The second method is what we call “Covert Dread.”

As opposed to Overt Dread, this is all about decreasing the amount of Dread you feel… while discretely, passively, and gradually increasing the Dread she feels.

Here are a few examples of Covert Dread in action…

• When you start leading your relationship like you’re supposed to. (As opposed to having a “co-equal” relationship with your woman, which she hates)
• When you learn to not get fazed by her antics and mind games
• When you start working out, getting bigger and more attractive
• When you get into serious self-development in all areas of your life. (Spiritual, intellectual, financial, etc.)
• When you start building a thriving, enjoyable social life apart from your woman

In the long run, Covert Dread is more effective than Overt Dread. Why? Two reasons:

1. First, because it brings a healthy kind of anxiety to your woman without any extra effort on your part. She’ll wonder: “Why is he suddenly working out? Is he seeing other women? Am I being too hard on him, which is why he’s seeing other women? Maybe I should behave a little better…”
2. And secondly, the more you practice Covert Dread, the more attractive you become. Your woman realizes she stands to lose more if your relationship didn’t work out.

Have you seen the Pixar movie The Incredibles? You might remember the scene where Helen Parr discovers a woman’s hair on her husband Bob’s suit in the closet. She panics, worrying he’s seeing another woman, and immediately goes to him and tells him she loves him.

You know what? Covert Dread is exactly like that. It’s something you do in the background that makes you more attractive, lowers the amount of Dread you feel, and increases your woman’s sense of Dread… all at once.

My expert advice? If you want to make sure your woman feels more Dread than you do – and you should – use Covert Dread first. I suggest you start with the following:

1. Increase your leadership skills. Start with your own relationship. Avoid having a co-equal relationship with your woman – that’s just asking for trouble. Instead, act like the leader you’re meant to be. Call all the important shots and expect her to support you.
2. Weather her mind games. No matter how happy your woman might seem, she’ll throw a mind game your way every now and then. It’s not an insult – it’s a periodical test to see how dominant and manly you are. The only way to win a mind game is to show you know what she’s up to and you’re unfazed by it.
3. Work out. Focus on building muscle and losing that beer belly. That means weight lifting (the basic lifts will do you fine) and interval training for cardio. Don’t have time to go to the gym? Make time. You’ll do with less TV, surfing, and video games anyway.
4. Get into self-development.Set goals for the physical, intellectual, spiritual, and financial areas of your life. Identify the bad habits that are keeping you from achieving those goals. Get rid of them and replace them with good habits. Work on them every single day.
5. Build a social life. Join hobby groups, make new friends, meet new women – whatever’s fun for you. Just make sure your social life is one that’s apart from your woman. That’s both to keep her from being the center of your life (which lowers her Dread) and to give her that healthy anxiety.

I suggest you do the activities listed above in order. Most times, the first two items (being the leader and winning her mind games) is enough to fix a bad relationship. Meanwhile, when the relationship still needs work, move on to the other items.

Bonus Tip: Your “Last Resort”

Here’s the main weakness of Covert Dread – it takes a long time to manifest.

Settling into the leadership role, learning to deal with her mind games, working out, etc… these activities need time to instil Dread in your woman and balance her behavior.

And sometimes, you just don’t have that kind of time. For instance, you might be on the brink of breaking up, and you’ve only stumbled upon this article now. You now understand how important Dread Game is, but you also know that you need to do something fast.

That’s where your “last resort” techniques come in. You can then rely on the Overt Dread techniques we took up earlier in this Insider Guide:

• Holding your ground in an argument with her
• Telling her you should break up
• Flirting with other women
• Ignoring her accusations and threats
• Etc.

Unfortunately, these are high-risk moves that can ruin your relationship. So instead, use a special Dread Game technique that’s halfway between Overt and Covert in its nature.

It’s called the “Freeze Out” technique. It’s one of the most useful and powerful Dread Game techniques out there.

You can learn all about the Freeze Out technique inside Dread Game 101.

In fact, if you only had the time to learn only one Dread Game technique, I highly recommend it to be Freeze Out. Many times, it’s all you need to fix your relationship.

Dread Game 101 is available as a free bonus to the Barnum Manuscript. If you have access to the Barnum Manuscript then you can find the program inside the download area for the Barnum Manuscript.

Why Do Implanted Commands Sometimes Fail?

Few Shogun Method techniques are as popular with practitioners as Implanted Commands. Their simplicity and ease of use make them the go-to technique for the Attraction stage.

Its popularity has also led many clients to ask me the same question:

“Why do Implanted Commands sometimes fail?”

These things happen:

• Sometimes the woman ignores the Implanted Command – like it had no effect on her…
• Other times, she spots the Implanted Command and resists or rejects it…
• And on other times, she accepts the Implanted Command, but she doesn’t obey it…

What’s going on?

Now, here’s the one thing that you must understand:

There are many ways an Implanted Command might fail, but they all boil down to one root cause:

The lack of TRUST.

Or, more specifically, she has certain objections in her mind, whether to you or to your command. And if you haven’t overcome those objections… it means she’s still in “Cold” Mode. Her logical defenses are still up.

If you haven’t noticed, the entirety of Shogun Method relies on making your target trust you completely. If she distrusts you, then you can’t put her under a trance, much less make her do anything she normally wouldn’t.

In short, as far as Shogun Method is concerned, TRUST is both the deal-maker and game-breaker.

It’s pretty important!

So, to establish trust during the Attraction stage (“A” in the IRAE Model), overcome the objections in her mind, and make her actually want to obey your Implanted Commands… you’ll need a new technique.

That technique is called the Objection Buster Sequence, and it’s one that builds trust gradually until she obeys your Implanted Command… even if she doesn’t trust you completely yet.

What’s The Objection Buster Sequence?

As its name implies, the Objection Buster Sequence is a Shogun Sequence that erodes your target’s distrust gradually. In the end, she’ll subconsciously agree with you and obey your Implanted Commands.

Its structure is somewhat of an “extended” Implanted Command, or an Implanted Command with an added trust-building element. It’s built on two principles:

1. Camouflaged Compliance
2. Cognitive Consonance

Next, let’s go through each of these principles one at a time.

Camouflaged Compliance is the same principle that Implanted Commands and “Yes Ladders” are founded on. It states that to make someone agree to an idea, you’ll need to first make them agree to ideas that are only partially related to that main idea. When you do that, then they’ll be much more receptive to the main idea.

Car salesmen use the Camouflaged Compliance principle all the time. Here’s how:

First, they make you agree that you need a car, or that you want the freedom that comes with owning your own vehicle. Or, they might make you acknowledge the hassle and inconvenience of public transport.

These minor ideas are only partially related to the idea of buying a car, but since you agreed to them, what happens? Here’s what… you find yourself agreeing that buying a car is the right thing to do. Before you know it, you’re happily signing the dotted line.

In dating terms, you’re making your woman agree to your Implanted Command by first making her agree to ideas partially related to that command. You’ll see how in the following section.

Next:

Cognitive Consonance is the principle that when a person accepts or commits to an idea, they’re inclined to accept or commit to the bigger idea behind it. It’s a natural urge, because people – especially women – hate the feeling of cognitive dissonance, which is believing in ideas that contradict each other.

Now, let’s take a look at the Objection Buster Sequence in action.

The Objection Buster Formula

Quick recap: an Implanted Command is a direct command that’s camouflaged among other statements.

When you tell a woman, “I’d ask you to go out with me, but I won’t,” she’ll consciously think you’re not going to ask her out. But your direct command, “go out with me,” will slip unhindered into her subconscious. And since her subconscious mind forms her decisions, she’ll be more inclined to actually go out with you.

The Objection Buster works in the same way, but with the emphasis on building trust prior to the delivery of your Implanted Command. It’s also an extended sequence – meaning it can do its job in one conversation with her, or over several conversations over several days.

The Objection Buster Formula goes thus:

Intention → Camouflaged Compliance Sequence #1 (CC#1)  → Implanted Command  → Camouflaged Compliance Sequence #2 (CC#2)  → Change Subject

Don’t worry if that looks somewhat daunting to you. Here’s an example to simplify everything:

Let’s say your Intention is to make her start a new relationship with you… but she’s resisting the idea because she just came off a bad relationship.

Your Objection Buster Sequence may go thus:

YOU: (Intention) “That was a fun dinner. We should do this more often. You know, like a real couple.”

HER: (Resisting) “I told you, I’m not ready. I’m still not sure I want a relationship right now.”

YOU: (CC#1) “I understand. Your last boyfriend was a real douchebag. But don’t you think you deserve to be happy?”

HER: “Yes, but… I’m not ready.”

YOU: (CC#1) “I mean, I think happiness is the first and most important thing to consider. Even if our lives aren’t perfect, we deserve to at least be happy. Otherwise, life would be meaningless, wouldn’t it?”

HER: (Agreeing) “Yeah.”

YOU: (CC#1) “Besides, you’re not alone. My last girlfriend was a harpy, too. I’ve told you how she took me for granted and cheated on me. I think I deserve to be happy, too, right?”

HER: (Agreeing) “Yeah, she was a real bitch. I can’t believe she treated you like that.”

YOU: (Main Idea/Bigger Picture) “We feel exactly the same. We’ve so much in common. You already know that we’d be happy together.”

HER: (Resisting) “Yes, but… I’m still a bit scared.”

YOU: (CC#2) “Sure, it can be a little scary. But that’s no worse than being sad and lonely, right? I mean, if it doesn’t work out, then it doesn’t work out. But it’s so much better to at least give happiness a chance.”

HER: (Agreeing) “I suppose so…”

YOU: (Change the Subject) “Of course it is. Anyway, let me take you home. It’s getting cold. We’ll talk about this again next time.”

If you’ll notice, this Objection Buster Sequence involves making her agree to ideas partially related to your main Intention (which is to make her start a new relationship with you).

In the Sequence above, you used four partially-related ideas:

1. That she deserves to be happy
2. That without happiness, life would be without meaning
3. That you deserve to be happy, too
4. That taking a chance on a relationship is better than being sad and lonely

Afterward, when you deliver your Implanted Command, it will be much easier for her to say “yes” to you. And it’s all thanks to the Camouflaged Compliance and Cognitive Consonance principles – she’ll think that since she agrees to the partially-related ideas, it’s only logical to agree to the main idea (your Intention), too.

Another important point is to end the Objection Buster Sequence on a high note – particularly with her agreeing to one of your partially-related ideas. After that, you immediately “Change the Subject” to something normal or mundane. In the above example, you talked about the weather.

Why is this important? Because it takes her mind off of the discussion, making her focus on something else. It makes it register in her mind that she actually agreed with everything you said.

And so the next time you bring up the topic about getting into a relationship, that’s what she’ll remember – that she agreed with you. She’ll think: “I agreed with him, therefore I trust him completely.” And so she’ll happily become your girlfriend because there’s no longer any reason for her not to.

Clever, eh?

Now, as always…

Here Are A Few Words Of Caution

Overcoming objections is just the start. You’ll still need to master the crafting of clever, persuasive Implanted Commands.

Of course, this takes some practice and a thorough understanding of the different kinds of Implanted Commands, all of which are in the core Shogun Method program.

Similarly, it’s important to be clear and consistent with your Intention. Don’t throw random Implanted Commands around. Have a clear desired outcome for your relationship with this woman, and all your Implanted Commands must move you closer to achieving that outcome.

In closing, here are four pieces of concrete advice to help you master the art of building attraction with the woman you desire:

1. Know what you want. Have a clear desired outcome (Intention). All your Sequences and techniques must lead to that outcome.
2. Study Implanted Commands, and study them some more. Then put them into practice. The core Shogun Method has everything you need for a good foundation in Implanted Commands.
3. Study Advanced Implanted Commands. Once you have a good enough grasp of Implanted Commands, take it to the next level by learning Advanced Implanted Commands, which are three times more powerful. You can learn all about Advanced Implanted Commands in Shogun Method Black Book Volume One.
4. Hone your trust building skills. The Objection Buster Sequence will be one of your main ammunition here. I’d also recommend that you learn any (or all) of the four Trust Hacks if you already have access to the Trust Hacking program. (It’s part of the Mobile PlusPack component of Black Book Volume One.)

So, remember:

If she doesn’t trust you, she won’t do anything for you. But if she does trust you completely, then there’s no limit to what she will do for you.

Does Enslavement Last?

Among the four stages of the IRAE Model, the stage I get the most questions from clients and readers about is the Enslavement stage. And rightly so – in our personal socio-biological quests to survive and thrive, Enslavement is the endgame.

Indeed, few achievements in life are more satisfying than Enslaving a happy, high-quality, supportive woman who would do absolutely anything for you.

Now, among the many questions I get about the Enslavement stage, one of the most common happens to be this:

“Will Enslavement last without having to be reinforced from time to time?”

It’s a fair question. After all, there have been guys who use the Black Rose Sequence on a woman, only to dump her later. To their horror, she wouldn’t leave them alone, even camping outside their doorstep at 3 in the morning. Some of these guys have asked me how to “un-hypnotize” the women, which unfortunately can’t be done. It’s true!

But the opposite is also true. There have been guys who used the Black Rose Sequence on their women, and it worked… but after some time, its effects seem to “wear off.” The women stop being attracted to them and lose interest, even if they responded so well to the Black Rose.

So what’s the real deal? Will Enslavement last without having to be reinforced from time to time?

This Insider’s Guide has the answer. And it all starts with a fact about attraction that you should always remember:

Attraction Has An Expiry Date

So does Enslavement last?

The answer to that question is “no.”

You see, given enough time, even a woman who was Enslaved will snap out of the trance, lose interest, and begrudgingly move on with what’s left of her life.

And it may take anywhere from a few days to a few years, but the attraction will wane. Believe me.

Now, before anything else, don’t take that as a license to use the Black Rose Sequence recklessly. As I’ve made clear time and again, doing so can scar a woman for life and leave her with a deep distrust of men, and that’s incredibly cruel. So if you’re not man enough to take responsibility, stay away from the Black Rose (or other Shogun Sequences in general).

That being said, there IS a way to reinforce the Black Rose Sequence after you’ve installed it in a woman. It’s called the “Black Rose Trigger.” And with it, you can restore the positive effects of your Black Rose Sequence anytime you want, thus “reinforcing” her Enslavement over time.

This makes the Black Rose Trigger an important tool for any man who wants to Enslave a woman. That goes double for men who are already in relationships with girlfriends because the stakes are higher. (And yes, this goes triple for married men.)

So What Exactly Is A Black Rose Trigger?

As its name implies, the Black Rose Trigger is a “trigger” you can pull anytime to put your woman back under the Black Rose trance. Done correctly, every “pull” of a Black Rose Trigger will make your woman re-experience the pleasurable feelings of your Black Rose Sequence.

As a quick recap, the Black Rose Sequence involves the following steps:

1. Building Rapport, where you spend a few minutes “warming her up” and putting her in a positive, receptive state of mind.
2. Fractionation, where you make her feel emotional pain, followed by emotional pleasure and peace of mind.
3. Smooth Transition, where you transition the conversation into the meditation.
4. Transmutation: Value Elicitation, where you guide her through a meditation sequence where she reveals the feeling (value) she likes the most, and where you make her feel that sensation at various non-sexual parts of her body.
5. Transmutation: Color Symbolism, where you make her identify that feeling with a color, and where you “pull” the feeling away from her and “give it back” repeatedly.
6. Elicit Negative Sensation, where you make her recall an experience that gives her emotional pain, moving that pain to various parts of her body and making her give that pain a color. Then you remove that pain from her and throw it to the “outside world.”
7. Elicit Positive Sensation, where you make her feel the same positive sensation she identified in the fourth step.
8. Create the Alter Ego, where you make her define and imagine the “real” her, different from the “her” she shows the world, and attribute a name and a color to her. Then you “transmute” the color to her, away from her, and to her again, until she becomes the color.

The result of the Black Rose Sequence is that she adopts her Alter Ego and that she associates the sense of freedom, trust, and pleasure with you. So she falls completely in love with you – she now trusts you more than any other guy in her life.

Now, again, this won’t last forever. You’ll want to reinforce this new state from time to time so that she happily stays in it (and with you). And that’s where the Black Rose Trigger comes in.

How The Black Rose Trigger Works

First, you’ll need to use a unique element you used in your original Black Rose Sequence – preferably something she responded very positively to.

In the example I illustrated in the core Shogun Method program, I used a Shogun Sequence known as the “Strawberry Fields”. Let’s say you used the same Sequence, and she responded very positively to it: “Oh my gosh, I love strawberries. They’re my favorite.”

That can be your trigger. Your custom-made Black Rose Trigger could be something like:

“I want you to know you can always trust me with anything. I know that strawberries are your favorite, so when you see them anywhere, I want you to remember how I’m always here for you.”

As a result, whenever she sees strawberries, she’ll think of you and how good you make her feel. So she stays Enslaved even when you’re apart. That’s the power of the Black Rose Trigger.

At another time, you might then tell her:

“Call me crazy, but I’m craving strawberries and cream. What about you?”

The mention of strawberries will trigger the Black Rose again and flood her with pleasure.

See how it works?

Now, your main challenge will be this: To craft your own Black Rose Trigger(s). And here’s how it’s done.

The Structure Of The Black Rose Trigger

The Black Rose Trigger has three parts:

1. Your Intention
2. The Elicited Value
3. Her Response

Your Intention is what you want her to do for you. In our example above, the Intention was: “I want you to know you can always trust me with anything.”

The Elicited Value is the thing, idea, or feeling that elicited a very positive response during your original Black Rose Sequence. In our example, the Elicited Value was the woman’s love for strawberries. And so the second part of the Black Rose Trigger goes thus: “I know that strawberries are your favorite…”

And lastly, her Response is what you want her to do when she encounters the Elicited Value at any time in the future. In our example, the Response was: “…so when you see [strawberries] anywhere, I want you to remember how I’m always here for you.”

Again, your challenge will be to craft Black Rose Triggers suited to your own unique situation. Here’s another example.

Let’s say you’re married, and you want to “inoculate” your wife from the advances of other men. During your Black Rose Sequence, you identified an Elicited Value to be horseback riding, her favorite childhood experience.

You could then craft a Black Rose Trigger that goes thus:

• Intention: “You’re a fantastic woman, and you know I never want to lose you.”
• Elicited Value: “I now know that you love riding horses…”
• Response: “…so whenever you see horses in the future, remember that no other guy will ever love you half as much I do.”

And that, my friend, is how you craft your Black Rose Trigger.

Now, to ensure you get the best results possible…

A Word Of Caution

Ultimately, the effectiveness of your Black Rose Trigger will depend on which Elicited Value you’ll choose to reinforce the Black Rose Sequence with.

Simply put, the more positive her reaction is to a certain Elicited Value, the better it is for your Black Rose Trigger.

And of course, it will also depend on knowing your goal for your relationship:

Do you want her to fall in love with you?

Do you want her to marry you?

Do you want her to leave her boyfriend for you?

Every situation is different, and so your Black Rose Trigger will be different as well.

And lastly and most importantly:

The Black Rose Trigger will only be useful if the Black Rose Sequence was installed properly. For instance, if you used the Strawberry Fields Sequence on your woman and she reacted, “Yuck, I hate strawberries,” she’ll snap out of the trance and you might need to execute the Black Rose Sequence another time.

Makes sense, right?

So in parting, here are two pieces of advice:

1. First, become an expert at Value Elicitation. If you’re not sure what she likes, you might ask her during the Black Rose Sequence: “You’re in front of a farm where your favorite fruit is growing. Tell me, what fruit do you see?” instead of going with strawberries from the get-go.
2. And secondly, use the Black Rose Boosters you’ll find in Shogun Method Black Book Volume One. These will “prime” her into your hypnotic trance, making the delivery of your Black Rose Sequence smoother and more successful.

Now go ahead – make the Enslavement last. She’ll love it, and so will you.

Is your marriage failing?

Is it deteriorating despite your best efforts?

Do you want to save your marriage and avoid wasting years of hard work and investment?

Check if any of the following apply to you:

• Your woman no longer respects your authority in the relationship (or never did)
• You get into frequent arguments and fights
• She’s making decisions for the marriage without consulting you
• She’s being secretive about the things she does away from home
• She’s generally apathetic towards you

If any of the items in the list above apply to your marriage, then that’s bad news. Your marriage IS in trouble.

But here’s the thing: If the last item on the list applies to you (your wife is apathetic towards you), that’s worst of all.

If she’s apathetic towards you, that’s an even BIGGER sign of a failing marriage than frequent fights. And in this Insider’s Guide, you’re about to find out.

Before we proceed, let’s be clear about what’s at stake here:

If you DON’T fix things fast, a divorce WILL happen. It’s just a matter of time and a matter of who initiates it.

If you don’t want things to get that far, then drop what you’re doing and read this Insider’s Guide now.

The Biggest Threat To Your Marriage Right Now

So what’s the biggest threat to your marriage right now?

Without a doubt, it’s the “Lightswitch Effect.” That’s the event when she loses all her attraction to, respect for, and deference to you INSTANTLY.

Make no mistake: the Lightswitch Effect is real.

You’ve probably heard horror stories of men going through divorces even after:

• Buying their wives expensive homes
• Giving their wives lucrative careers and business portfolios
• Getting hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of insurance
• Buying houses for their mothers-in-law
• Supporting their wives’ lavish lifestyles for decades

And during or after the divorce, these men wonder:

“What the hell happened? Why did she just throw away decades of hard work? Why did she NOT tell me anything was wrong?”

Answer: The Lightswitch Effect.

Here’s EXACTLY what happened…

What’s The Lightswitch Effect?

The Lightswitch Effect is a perfect storm of two other female quirks happening at the same time. These two quirks are Hypergamy and Solipsism.

I write extensively about Hypergamy and Solipsism in SM³, but here’s the gist of both:

Hypergamy is a woman’s natural tendency to “marry up.”

She’s always on the lookout for men of higher status, higher finances, higher genetic quality, etc.

When a married woman meets a man who’s of a higher status than her husband…

…and if her chances of securing a comfortable life for herself and her kids is higher with him…

…and if he expresses a willingness to take care of her for the long-term…

…then you can bet she’ll be thinking about leaving her husband for the new guy.

Makes sense, right?

On the other hand,

Solipsism is a woman’s natural tendency to use her emotions to define her objective reality.

Put simply, if she’s sad, she’ll think:

“I wouldn’t be sad if there weren’t a good reason to be sad. I’m sad because my husband isn’t making me happy. If he were a good husband, he’d make me happy. He’s not making me happy; therefore, he’s not a good husband.”

It’s obviously crazy and illogical, but that’s how women think when they’re upset or distressed. Believe me: it’s true.

How The Lightswitch Effect Hurts You

The Lightswitch Effect hits when she feels Hypergamy and Solipsism kick in together.

Your wife’s Hypergamous instincts kick in when:

1. You lose status (e.g. you got demoted or you did something publicly embarrassing)
2. You lose financial capability (e.g. you lose your job or squander your savings)
3. You lose your attractiveness (e.g. you get fat)
4. She meets a wealthier, higher-status, more attractive guy who’s in love with her

Her Solipsistic instincts kick in when she looks at you and thinks:

“I feel bored. I wouldn’t feel bored if there weren’t a good reason to feel bored. If he were a good husband, he would keep the marriage fun. He’s not doing that, and therefore he’s not a good husband.”

Or:

“I’m dissatisfied. I wouldn’t feel dissatisfied if there weren’t a good reason to feel dissatisfied. If he were a good husband, he would keep me satisfied. He’s not doing that, and therefore he’s not a good husband.”

Then, like a light switch, her attraction turns OFF.

Her respect for you turns OFF.

Her deference to your authority turns OFF.

It happens without warning. It doesn’t matter if just a few days ago she was the sweetest thing to you.

And here’s the kicker…

If the switch is “OFF,” it’s as if you’ve been a bad husband ALL YOUR LIVES TOGETHER.

That, my friend, is the Lightswitch Effect fucking things up for you.

And if you’re not aware of it… or worse, if you’re aware of it BUT don’t do anything about it…

…then your marriage is marching towards the divorce.

What To Do To Overcome The “Lightswitch Effect” And Revive Your Marriage

The good news?

The Lightswitch Effect works both ways. In other words:

You CAN flip the switch back “ON.”

The catch: You’ll need to act fast. As in, like, now.

The fastest way to revive your marriage would be to use three techniques. In the SM³ knowledge base, they’re called the Insidious Three.

They are:

1. Fractionation
2. False Memories
3. Gaslighting

Let’s go through each of these in brief, one by one.

Fractionation

You’re probably familiar with Fractionation by now, but here’s a recap:

Fractionation is the act of putting a woman on an emotional rollercoaster. The more frequent and intense the rollercoaster is, the more she’ll depend on you to be happy.

Bottom line: the more you Fractionate your wife, the less she’ll succumb to Hypergamy and Solipsism. The less she does, the sooner she’ll switch back “ON” for you.

You’ve already learned Fractionation in detail inside the core Shogun Method. If you need a revision, go here.

False Memories

This is the act of implanting False Memories into your wife’s mind. If she believes the False Memories, she’ll rethink her state of defiance against you.

Let’s say your wife told you she’s thinking of getting divorced. You can make her change her mind with a False Memory sequence, such as:

• YOU: (True Memory) “Remember early in our marriage when we took a road trip through the desert?”
• HER: “Yes.”
• YOU: (True Memory) “One night we got a flat tire. Then got stuck in a lightning storm and had to wait it out in an abandoned shed by the road.”
• HER: “I remember.”
• YOU: (Implanting False Memory) “That night, we were in each other’s arms. You told me that if we ever made it through that night, then you’d make it through anything in our marriage.”
• HER: “Did I say that?”
• YOU: (True Memory) “Yes, don’t you remember? Tom and Becky were with us, but they got so drunk and passed out, and it was just you and me talking.”
• HER: “Oh, I… I guess I did.”
• YOU: (True Memory) “You did. It was freezing cold, and it was terrible for you because you hated the cold. The next morning, we felt like we could face ANYTHING.”

The more true memories you bring up in your conversation, the more easily you’ll slip the False Memory in there. Simple, right?

Gaslighting

With Gaslighting, you make your wife question her perception of reality. You make her doubt her decisions.

Let’s say your wife starts dropping hints about “how you both should start seeing other people.”

You can then Gaslight her to make her think she might be making a mistake. Once that doubt is planted, it’s easier to manipulate her back into the marriage.

Gaslighting has four steps:

1. Plant the seeds of inadequacy. Here, you throw plausible accusations of her flaws as a wife. You can tell her: “You’ve always been like that. You run away from our problems and leave me to face them alone.”
2. Double down. When she protests “That’s not true!”, you double down: “Oh, yes, it is! Who went to court to fight for our house? Me. Who took a second job to pay the bills? Me. Now you get a little upset and suddenly you want to see other men? Classic (her name).”
3. Entice and repel. You keep doubling down on her until she breaks and starts showing the behavior you want to see. If she apologizes, you hug her and forgive her. If she admits she’s wrong, tell her it’s okay. This will make her think: “Maybe I was wrong about him.”
4. Reach stability. As soon as she stops her bad behavior, stop Gaslighting her. The crisis is over – now focus your energy into fixing the marriage and making it better.

And there you have it. This Insider’s Guide has shown you the biggest threat to your marriage, why it’s serious, and how to eliminate it.
