If there’s one thing you need to remember about the Shogun Method, it’s this:
A woman will eventually fall in love with you if you hold her attention for long enough.
Read that back to yourself until it’s etched in your brain.
Got it?
Good. Now, as you know, the self-seducing nature of women is one of the many flaws which the Shogun Method serves to exploit. What the IRAE process does is force the woman to do the hard work for you. All you have to do is keep her attention to the point that she yields.
Engage a woman long enough, and she will become yours.
Straightforward, right?
This is what makes the element of Intrigue so crucial in the attraction process. It’s by far the most important step of the whole IRAE model. (Yes, it’s more important than Enslavement.)
Master intrigue and you will master the art of putting women under your control.
Why Intrigue Will Make Or Break You
Picture this for a moment:
Imagine that you just walked up to a woman and told her she was beautiful. What would happen?
She’d either assume you were a creep or simply say ‘thank you’. Then what?
Silence. Awkwardness. At this moment, you can kiss goodbye to any chance you could have had with her.
Unlike rehearsed “Pickup Artist” lines, the situational aspect of Intrigue Pings lead into natural conversation. This then ensures a smooth transition into the Rapport stage in the IRAE Model.
There’s a reason Intrigue Pings are designed the way they are. Not only do they immediately grab and hold the target’s attention, but they’re the first step of the hypnotic trance which the IRAE process induces.
Make sense?
Good, but that’s not all. The best Intrigue Pings aren’t just off-the-shelf scripts which you’ve rehearsed. No, the best Intrigue Pings are situational. This means, wherever you are, you make the Intrigue Ping relatable to your surroundings.
Here are some examples –
In a bookstore? “Can I make an assumption…? I think you’ll like this book.”
Waiting for the bus? “Let me make an educated guess… you hate public transport, don’t you?”
Will Intrigue Pings Work Online Or Via Text?
One of the most common questions I get asked is this:
“Will Intrigue Pings work if I text them to a girl?”
In short, yes they will. However, it comes with a slightly different set of rules.
By now, you should be familiar with the concept of “Contextual Rapport”.
Contextual Rapport is bad news, plain and simple.
It’s the situation you find yourself in if you hang around the Rapport stage for too long. Too much rapport means she starts to see you as a friend rather than a potential partner. In other words: you get friend-zoned.
And the friend-zone is only for losers, right?
Exactly. So the main problem with texting Intrigue Pings is that you can progress to Rapport almost too quickly.
The results? You’ll then spend longer time at the Rapport stage. This, in turn, increases the chances of Contextual Rapport setting in.
As you might have learned from the core Shogun Method program, escalating from Rapport to Attraction is very difficult by text. Why? It’s because the IRAE Model is designed for face-to-face interaction.
Therefore, a general rule, use Intrigue Pings as a way to initiate conversation via text, then arranging a meet-up as soon as possible.
How To Make Intrigue Pings Work For You Via Text Or Online
Having said that, Intrigue Pings can be an incredible tool for grabbing a woman’s attention through text message or online dating.
For example, when it comes to texting an Intrigue Ping, you have a little more flexibility than you would face-to-face.
Let me explain.
As you know, Intrigue Pings rely on situational elements to make an impact. However, when you text a girl, both yours and your target’s situation is unknown. You don’t know what she’s doing or where she is, and vice versa.
Therefore, your Intrigue Pings can be a little bit more “general” than usual.
In some ways, the fact you’re texting her at all is the situation. For example, try texting this:
You: “There’s something that’s been bugging me all day… Can you help?
Her: “Sure. What is it?”
You: “I was just wondering whether or not you’d reply to my text. Congratulations, you passed the test!”
Similarly, you can use the fact you don’t know what she’s doing as part of the Intrigue Ping:
You: “I hope I’m not interrupting you… but can I make an assumption?”
Her: “Okay. Go ahead.”
You: “Whatever you’re doing right now is less interesting than talking to me!”
Notice how both of these examples set up the conversation to flow naturally? In both cases, your target will respond. Then, it’s up to you to take the conversation and run with it.
Using A “Sock Puppet” To An Intrigue Ping
This technique, originally detailed in the Shogun Sequences Handbook, is perfect for use online or via text. Not only is it a masterful Intrigue Ping, but it also doubles as an Implanted Command.
(If you’re not familiar with what Implanted Commands are, check the Attract module inside the core Shogun Method program.)
The Socket Puppet sequence involves your “friend” sending an email or text to your target. Using someone else to spread information is twice as effective as doing it yourself. (You’ve already learned this “Hearsay” tactic inside the Enslavement module.)
Here’s a simplified version of the Sock Puppet technique. Using a fake account or phone number, send this message to your target:
“Hey, I’m emailing you on behalf of my friend John…
He told me that he was getting tired of dating women who would play mind games and he was looking for an honest, sincere woman to spend his time with…
…. Now pause and as you are sitting there and reading this email, imagine how much fun you’ll have to be enjoying yourself with a man who is smart, witty, humorous, decent looking, articulate and successful in life…”
Between each segment, you can wait for your target’s response, or send the whole thing at once. It’s up to you!
If you’re wondering why this technique works so well, it’s because it’s a combination of everything which makes the Shogun Method so effective.
Because it’s not “you” messaging this girl, there’s no possibility of violating Precondition #2. It also places her as the chaser by being given your contact information. She has to seek out you, not the other way around. And as a result, she will see you as incredibly desirable.
Then, when she does contact you, you can work your way through the IRAE Model with ease. She’s already intrigued, allowing you ramp up the effectiveness of everything which follows.
Make sense?
Here’s More Advanced Intrigue Pings To Fill Your Shogun Method Arsenal
The Sock Puppet routine is what we classify here at Shogun Method HQ as an “Advanced” Intrigue Ping.
In most situations, the “regular” Intrigue Pings that you find inside the core Shogun Method program are more than sufficient.
Advanced Intrigue Pings are something that you’d deploy in sticky circumstances. That’s when you’re dealing with a particularly difficult woman.
And if that describes you, then check out our advanced Intrigue Black Book program. Click here.
Remember: I don’t recommend using Advanced Intrigue Pings casually because they can be overkill in many situations. So, use your judgment!
