Derek answers questions on a rotation basis in order to provide equal opportunities for every client to ask questions. This means that once you get a question answered, any question that post after that will be put in the queue behind every other client's question.

It is therefore advisable for you to post a question and get it answered first instead of posting a bunch of questions simultaneously (this bumps all your questions to the BACK of the queue).

    Here is my experience, the first one trying IRAE.

    A middle aged attractive chinese lady sat in a chair next to me on the mall. I offered her my chair in the shade, and told her to protect her nice skin, mine is already ruined…. (This is my approach at my favorite spot, which I’ve had multiple success with)

    She started small talk, eye contact, smiled, etc, then I pulled my standard Intrigue: I really like it here on a nice day…..I was sick for so long…. 9 years…..that I appreciate the little things in life. “Oh, I’m sorry….” That is what I always hear from them… But before she could ask the question, I interrupted……yeah, but I just got a job near here and I’m looking for a place nearby……..

    That’s my now standard intrigue. She asked “But your ok now aren’t you….”

    At that point I run the black cloud fractionation, and took her deep into the pain, she was grimacing and saying how sorry she was, really getting emotional.

    Finally I pulled it back to sunshine and just like that she got the look in her eye and started telling me a lot about herself……. I can absolutely see now when a woman fractionates. There is a big change in their demeanor.

    She started eliciting from me, and asked I anyone took care of me for the time I was sick. Then I hit her with my standard destroyer. Well…..no…I was alone for the whole time……I had no one.

    “You know, I loved me wife, but she got more and more distant, and started to forget me….and the more I wanted her, the farther she got from me……” Then she dropped a bombshell:

    :”My husband is in China, he went back to do research. I wanted to stay here because my kids have been growing up in America.

    This actually touched my heart, Derek. I was thinking, this is a pretty decent woman. So I mirrored her” “Oh…I’m sorry…..” just like she had said. And I felt like she was drawing me in…… I told her ‘you feel so lonely when suddenly the person you loved forgets you…’ and she agreed.

    We actually had quite a discussion, she is a Phd Biochemist, and we were able to talk a bit technically about my job which she was interested in. I planted some subtle suggestions about it being ok to let nature takes its course, and sexuality, and she asked me what kind of woman I liked.

    I told her straight up…without thinking *Mistake?* “I like women like you….which is totally true. Right away though I said ‘But we can only be friends you are married….’ then she had this strange look, and she tried to elicit what I wanted in life….I told her, I wasn;t looking for anything. I am at the point where, I just take things as they happen, I can’t really control my destiny, and I planted some attractors at this point about how its strange how sometimes you meet someone and you are just attracted to them….you talk and look in their eyes and something says ‘this is a person you want to be with’ And she was saying, yes, so right, and agreeing with me….then I realized something.

    Derek, I have a feeling she was seducing me! Because what happened next was odd. Her daughter came back with a friend (young girls, they were shopping) and Helen said, “Do you come here often? I hope I can see you again when I come back” I asked are you going back to China? She said, no at this mall….do you come here a lot. So i told her well, yeah, if im not to tired.

    Then she whipped out a pen and paper and said ‘let’s exchange information’ I said ok, but I’m busy…..a lot of work….etc…..and she gave me her phone number, skype, email, and I reciprocated.

    Derek, I didn’t have to push at all. She did the work, I just guided the frame. I do realize I used a lot of technique, but at the same time, pretty much everything I said was the truth.

    So, we are going to meet again, probably next weekend. Shes nice and I will enjoy being with her. So I guess I will need to escalate physically, and just keep moving ahead.

    I think I got it right this time. My desirability scale in her eyes went from probably about 3…she was friendly when she sat down, to fairly high maybe right at the almost ready for probably close to sex, after all she was doing to me what I have been trying to do to women.

    Amazing. This worked almost EXACTLY like you said it would in the Shogun method. I think i am there.

    By the way, I fractionated one girl before her, got her gushing, then her boyfriend showed up and I lost her. Oh well…..

    Hi Derek,

    Another thing I noticed, both girls I tried IRAE on displayed similar behavior. The first girl, a gorgeous young asian, right after Fractionation she started eliciting MY values, trying to qualify herself, and saying things to make herself ‘familiar’ i.e. “Oh, my friend is an engineer too….oh, I’m studying biology, I understand your illness and the drugs….blah blah blah…. The second one did more or less the same thing. I made sure my answers were ambiguous or I left them open ended so they could project whatever they wanted into their image of me.

    I’m thinking that is normal. Should I just let them talk, making sure they stay in frame, and giving them the rope to hang themselves?

            Why are guys who try to be funny and make girls laugh end up being their friends and try hard and have their face turned to girls always end up being rejected?

            Why do guys who are aloof and disrespect girls and treat them like “friends” get to be boyfriends?

            That’s what “friends” do – laugh between themselves.

            Aloof guys are intriguing, and therefore triggers the other part of the brain which is associated with reproduction and sexuality.

          Here’s our bog standard answer to the common question of “where do I start”:

          First things first: what have you done so far (as far as Shogun Method techniques are concerned)? Everything is rooted in the IRAE Model, and the first thing you need to do is to calibrate where she is in the Model. Then, you can focus all your energies into getting her to the next stage – it’s a straight line process.

    Hello Derek,
    Before i tell you my story of Shogun Method let me introduce you briefly. I’m from Mongolia(Central Asia). And Mongolian girls behave different than other country’s females do. But the all women are all same in their mental. I changed it very very little bit and I tried this on girl in nightclub, it worked great. I tried it on attractive lady, everything went smoothly 😀 . But now i attached to the lady who was kind, soft-hearted, and attractive. We met dozens of times and had great, joyful times together. But last week something that i cannot point out happened to her and she doesn’t want to tell about it to me. I matched her mood with mirroring technique and messaging to her: “I feel terrible. If there’s anything I can do to make you feel better, let me know, okay?” And she answers: “You can’t make me feel better” and i stuck at what to say to make her engage to my words and let her tell everything that she is hiding from me. Thanks

      Reply Reply July 8, 2016

      On her answer that you can’t make her feel better – she’s baiting you for a follow-up response. You could play along by probing her a little bit more. For example, you can ask “why?” and wait for an answer. Then, continue to play by ear.

      Remember: women always (yes, ALWAYS) want to talk about themselves and their problems. It’s only that they sometimes try to make guys jump through hoops just for the heck of it.

        Hey Derek,

        There is this girl that I met (before I purchased the shogun method) that has clearly showed a lot of interest in me and then all of a sudden started to play “hard to get”

        After patiently waiting a while for her to finally stop playing around I recently texted her the following (after I called her one last time after having texted her 1 month before the phone call, that she didn’t pick up) :
        “I don’t know what you are trying to do, but that was the last chance that I gave you. Get well soon.”

        After this text she suddenly replied INSTANTLY (it had always taken her ages to reply before), telling me that she doesn’t understand. After that I remained cool and just asked her “wtf she didn’t understand” after that she just texted me “okay, good night”

        What do you think? I assume that she is still interested but n me but is just acting cold out of pride. But I’m pretty sure she’ll come back, now that she realized that I ain’t gonna chase her.

    Hey Derek! Quick question: I understand that the IRAE model must be done sequentially, and after practicing it last night, I definitely believe that it works best that way too! My friend and I were at a bar last night and we were both feeling confident on a group of beautiful, blondes that were there having a good time. Thus, we decided to approach them and start a conversation with them. It’s had been a little rocky for me because I just went through a tough breakup, but luckily, I’m also able to bounce back from these things, especially since we weren’t going out for that long!

    Anyway, as we were talking to these women, my attention shifted to one of them who I started having another conversation on the side and everything was going very well! As time went on, we moved from place to place in the rooftop bar, continuing the conversation and initiating physical touch in the process. Needless to say, I decided to ask her out dancing and exchanged numbers with her, and right before we left, we kissed! Since then I’ve been texting her back and forth.

    However, I felt like even though I went through the process sequentially, I still felt like I should’ve done more with respect to intrigue and rapport (because there’s clearly attraction if she’s kissing me haha!). My question is this: Is it possible that even after you reach the attraction stage, one can go back to the other stages and improve what’s already there when it comes to rapport and intrigue? I don’t believe that one can go to the Enslavement stage until they have a sufficient amount of all three.

      Reply Reply July 15, 2016

      @Michael: you’ve nailed it when you said that you need to build sufficient Intrigue + Rapport + Attraction before you should attempt Enslavement. You should revisit previous stages when you’ve laid the foundations of the IRAE Model once.

      Problem arises when there’s ZERO work put in any of the stages: for example, attempting to build Rapport with ZERO Intrigue, or to build Attraction with ZERO Rapport. Obviously, this is not the case with you.

      Interestingly, you’ll find that the effect of the IRAE is multiplicative and not addictive: which means that when you revisit Intrigue later, you’ll find that any increase in her Intrigue levels will MULTIPLY the amount of Rapport that she has with you. Let me know when you see this happen later!

      • Michael

        Reply Reply September 3, 2016

        Hey :Derek! I’ve been testing the multiplicative effects of the IRAE, and it turns out that you’re right! The minute that I generated more intrigue, they seemed even more interested, sometimes expressing some additional excitement, and were more open, comfortable, and trusting! With that being said, I did want to bring up something with you about a woman I’ve been talking to for the past few weeks. She’s a friend of one of my best friends girlfriend, and I’ve known her for the past few months. It wasn’t until recently, however where we expressed interest in each other (that, and my friends girlfriend had been trying to pair us up for awhile now!). So since she had to go back to grad school, we set up time to meet up for drinks when she got back and thus decided to continue talking with her, utilizing everything I could think of with the Shogun Method.

        So when we met up for drinks last night, I wasn’t surprised when we got very touchy with each other (i.e. kissing, holding hands, etc.). Everything seemed to be going well, and we were all over the city having a good time! When we about to go back to my place, however, there was a hint of hesitation on her part, and she decided to go home to sleep (she had to be up early anyway to spend time with her parents).

        So, we said goodbye for the night, but for some reason she kept emphasizing how much she didn’t know me, but wanted to continue talking. Normally, I wouldn’t really have a problem with this (I’m glad that I got as far as I did), but a part of me felt like it could’ve gone further and she got in her own head in the process. My question to you is this: what do you think I did wrong, and what could I do to improve on situations like this moving forward?

          Michael: you’re making much progress, so don’t sweat it. The last minute resistance is quite common. Don’t push it, or you’ll repel her even further. It does seem that you’ve not built enough Attraction to seal the deal. You may be focusing too much on the ATTRACT in the ATTRACT/REPEL cycle too much, and projected too much interest in the process. This is a common mistake, and so don’t beat yourself up over it.

          Instead, you should start repelling her (you’re in the Attract stage). Then, when the time comes, move swiftly into Enslavement.

            Hmmm, I never thought about it like that actually! I started reviewing some of the messages I’ve sent her, and it turns out that I may have backfired on the repel aspect of it. I’ll try to incorporate that next time I see her and let you know how it turns out! Thanks!

    I noticed, Derek, that sometimes when I proceed after fractionation, going through the IRAE stage, that for some reason the woman just doesn’t seem appealing to me anymore–and I start getting distracted, and notice other women checking me out, etc.

    Is it normal? I just feel sometimes, after talking a bit with them, that I’m not interested. Keep in mind I never have an outcome in mind–I just start my game with a woman who seems interesting and discover where it leads. And sometimes it leads nowhere–for both me or the woman.

    Hi Derek

    I purchased your shogun method some time ago and was totally fascinated. I got right into it and used it on a woman I put my eyes on for a long time. Using the Intrigue, rapport and attraction technique has been working great and we are a couple for some time now. I didn’t use any enslavement techniques. We have a great time together since then and phenomenal sex. I am one of the older guys in my 40ies who’s back on the market after a broken marriage. The girl I met is in her 30ties. So far so good.

    Last week we’ve been talking about our past and I thought why not tell her about my failed marriage and family situation. When she heard about it she went totally berserk and said she couldn’t understand why I did not tell her before and why I had to hide it. So she accused me being a liar although I didn’t lie I just did not talk about it. She left and said she has to think about us and maybe break up. So silly me did not go over your shogun method but stepped into the „forgive-me-I’m-sorry-trap“. I wrote her emails where I begged her to forgive me and so on but she still did not give in and she said she couldn’t believe or trust me anymore. Then I got angry and wrote her in a pretty harsh tone back that she’s totally exaggerating in my eyes and I think if her trust level is that low we don’t have a chance to go on together. She wrote back and said now she would see the real me, the bad guy. A day later I apologized again and she was ready to talk it over.

    At the end she said she’d love me and would love to move on with me but it would never be the same again. She even asked for makeup sex. I refused for now. I love her too but I’m not sure how to go on. What would you do in my position? I guess I messed it up with my apologizes. Do I have to dump her and hope she will come sneaking back to me? I’m desperate.

    Thanks for your answer.
    All the best

      @Daniel – in the end she’s yielding to you and wanting to move in with you – so there’s really not a problem there. Accept her back, and this time, move on the Enslavement in order to seal the deal. You don’t have to “dump” her to heighten her attraction to you. From where I stand, you’ve built enough Attraction already and so “dumping” her to intensify attraction seems to be overkill. Rope her in, and start Enslavement immediately!

    Hello Derek,

    I have a very long story to share looking for right amicable input from you, expecting loads of positive churn around in your answer. Curiosity will be carried till I get to see your response.
    I am a Software professional managing projects in US and I am aged 39. I have my woman colleague (aged 28) who is also my subordinate (working under me) for last two years. We were working together in our home country for last 18 months and now recently last June (three months now) we have moved to US due to official deputation. Indeed I did everything (as a manager) to make sure she also travels and in fact we travelled together in a same flight. She is also married and I am too with kids and she has no kids yet. She has travelled alone without her Husband and I too have travelled without my family.
    Now, we are staying together in a same community but different apartments next to each other. We go to office everyday together, will have lunch together, and will have evening coffee and dinner together.
    With this background, I want to tell you that I am so much allured to her and going crazy about her every day.
    I have bought your shogun methods last week and just completed reading all modules. Here is my assessment and looking forward for your expert judgmental inputs..
    Intrigue – She is very attentive when we talk about any subject including my personal background and few incidents in the form of stories are shared repeatedly many times in the last 20 months.
    Rapport – I think I have strong rapport with her since she exchanges anything that she thinks should talk and may be at times just to keep me engaged she will talk something from nowhere.
    Attraction – I talk to her at times with double meaning statements and see shy response on her face along with some fear factor. But When I talk I look at her eyes and roll my eyes twice / thrice at least which she quickly observes which is visible to me as well.
    Enslavement – I am not sure.
    Since we talk so much every day and spend time together every day including Pubs and Joints on Fridays and Weekends ( just me and her till 12 AM ) , I feel that I am getting more closer to her as a friend and I am not able to crack the mystery of seducing her. BUT I am somewhere sure that she also likes me and like to have me…which is not coming out clearly from her. I am making this statement because of her facial expressions and eye to eye rolling contact.

    Her HUSBAND is coming down this week end and I am bit frustrated and jealous too. Can you help me with some strong input to really seduce her right away? Before her HUSBAND joins her and then she might end up changing her mind too which is my worry. Please help me to induce strong seduced feeing in her in next two days before she is away from me for next two weeks.
    I am ready to go in for a long relationship with her.. Just so you are aware.

      Reply Reply August 28, 2016

      DOM – my assessment is that she’s deep in the Attraction stage which means that the next logical step is for you to push her into Enslavement stage. But before that, I’ll need you to calibrate and diagnose for me to confirm that her Attraction to you is sexual or non-platonic (especially there’s a danger that she has developed contextual rapport to you since the time spent with her is largely within the boss-subordinate context).

      Once you’ve done that, proceed to Enslavement (see the Enslavement module) by first segregating her from her partner (you may want to consider the Boyfriend Destroyer), and to use the Black Rose Sequence on her. If this is a stretch, you may want to break up the Black Rose into a few parts, or use the Dark Rake Method instead. (In your case, arrange more trips where you’ll get to spend time with her one-on-one, so that you can use the Black Rose or the Dark Rake on her.)

      Good luck!

    Just finished the last module. I was rather impressed. I’ve not had a chance to try this, but I feel I’ve progressed quite a bit.

    So far, everything is kind of settling in on me and trying to come together in my head. I find I’m doing a lot naturally, but I’m trying to pinpoint my exact weak areas. However, I do have something of an interesting “accident” that happened just last Saturday.

    I had a woman over to my house for a supposed business meeting. She brought her daughter and husband, so nothing was going to really go on. I found myself plugging covert suggestions into the meeting (after all, I figure seduction isn’t always sexual, it can be used in business and sales too, right?). As the casual meeting continued I saw her becoming more excited. She kept adjusting her shirt, and then letting it slip down to where I could see down it, and readjusting it. At one point she says to me, in front of her husband “I want to be your wife. I would take good care of you”. Her husband wasn’t paying attention, thankfully, but she had already hinted that her marriage was not perfect. I laughed in a good natured way and said it back to her “You want to be my wife?” I had just started the attraction module at that point. The funny thing is, it felt like she was starting to chase me.
    Anyways, we’ve had a few texts back and forth and were supposed to meet (just the two of us this time) for a “lunch meeting” in about two weeks (she’s out of town right now, and actually suggested the alternate date for when she’d be back).

        Just an update to w,hat happened…
        I met with her in her office at the other side of town (I made this decision to go to her, realizing that it put me at a disadvantage as far as equalizing our value, but it was a solid business point that I needed to see her office and the area we’re planning on opening our business…so no real option there).
        Long story short. I made some mistakes, but recovered from them fairly well. I felt very awkward at times, and other times it just flowed. I made lots of physical contact and finally got the anchoring thing down at the last effort.
        It was hard to get her in “hot” mode. It was like she would realize she was “hot” and almost immediately switch to cold. However, she was fairly easy to read that way. Getting her to “hot” mode was really hard too, a stark contrast from a couple of weeks earlier. Granted, this was a business meeting. On the bright side, I completely dominated her in establishing value. I think I shook her confidence a bit, but she is definitely following my lead now (at least in the business side of things).
        At the end I was able to get her to open up more and as a result I was able to fractionate her (though I’m not sure I would qualify it as rapid…it was more like I let her experience the emotion for a moment, and then I would try to change it). I had her eyes watering from a personal feeling story about her disappointments in her husband and how she felt excluded from her family. I let her feel that for a moment and sympathetically said, “Hey. You know, these are kind of heavy things. What you really need to do is focus on something good for a moment. Tell me about…” I worked her the whole day. I managed to get a little “bubble of us” by talking about the world outside and the dangers, and how we’re here and its safe. When we leave we have to keep our guard up because others will want this, but at least while we’re here its safe. Something like that, I don’t remember my exact words (sorry). I’m sure it was working though because for a moment I was feeling it with her. Her attention was focused on me as I spoke and I literally saw the world around us take on a kind of grey hue for a second.
        She tried to tell me about how the only time she thought she could be tempted, would have happened with this other really attractive man, but she didn’t because she was married. I responded that “Well, sometimes you really want to take what’s in front of you before its gone. You just want to do everything you can to hold on to this, because if it leaves you might not get that chance again (using subtle finger pointing)”. I also tried a subtle sexual gesture by pointing my right finger between my left pointer and middle finger everytime I said a line like “…and you want to do this (gesture) with me because it will be great. And when we do it (gesture) we’re going to be happy because this (gesture) is what you want.” The conversation and “this” being business and partnership, of course alluding to the more intimate nature of a partner as well. I mentioned “When you are someone’s partner its like you’re married (she nodded yes) and you want to do everything with your partner, and you want to share everything with him.
        At the end of the night, as I was dropping her off I think I did it right. I told her “I just wanted to say that I listened to your story about your life, and your husband and I’m really sorry. You have this wall that seems to protect you from so much, but I don’t think that’s who you are. I see inside you a little girl, and if you think back, you’ll remember that little girl inside you, who wants to feel passion and love again (her eyes widened and fixed on me for a bit) . I think that girl is in there and I want to help her.” At this moment we arrived and she said in a slow and low voice, the most filled with emotion she had the whole day, “Thank you”. I smiled, looked away and squeezed her hand. That was the best anchor I made all day, and I’m sure that one is going to stick.
        I left with a gut feeling that with some work, I’ll get there with her. Since then, I’ve kept the texts and conversations strictly business, no emotion, just cold business.
        One more quick story…I was at a new client’s house and she was wearing one of those long T-shirts that’s like a dress. Just as a self test I used rapport and body language suggestion (without saying a thing) to get her to spread her legs and expose herself to me. Of course, she noticed after she did that, but I pretended to not notice as I let my attention deliberately get distracted right before I had her do it. I wasn’t thrilled by the peak so much as I was by the knowledge that it can be done…effecting women on such a subconscious level that they respond to you like you always wished they would. God, if I’d known that trick in middle school!
        I’m having so much fun with this (and I’m entirely intent on NOT hurting anyone, just keeping it light and fun) learning process. Each day I interact with women I seriously feel more and more powerful.
        Thank you again Derek for this. Do you have any insights on the first woman?

I’m not sure if she’s wary of me or just no longer interested or what. It’s really annoying already. She texted me today to see what I was doing but I told her I was going to a bday party. She said ‘oh, ok.’ That’s it. So annoying man. She texts me late in the day when she texts me and that aggravates me. If she says she wants to try us out then frigging call me or text me when you get up in the morning and say something! Text me before you go to bed and say something! I’m NOT trying to be some little ‘trick’ or some wussy-ass little dude always chasing her around. I can’t run with that shit. I’m not food. She’s not gonna feed off my soul and desires and vampirize me. No way. I gotta win. I want her. I really want her. I have good intentions for her bit I won’t let a girl shit all over me man.

      Example of a good question to ask: “I’ve tried this Intrigue Ping – XXXX – and she replied YYYY. I need to bridge to Rapport – will this be sufficient? I plan to do ZZZ next – would that be reasonable?”

    2 – If I get to complete the IRAE Model on a girl do I have to keep going through it or when she is enslaved I don’t need to keep aplying the IRAE Model?

    2 – When is the best time to deliver a Shogun Sequence and what do I have to expect as a result of its deliver?

      1) That’s the whole point: to compel a woman to fall in love with you.
      2) Post enslavement, there’s no need to go through the entire IRAE Model again, unless she lapses.
      3) Best time: when you’ve developed sufficient rapport. Results vary.

    Reply Reply September 7, 2016

    I know Shogun method disdains the PUA stuff. I never actually read much of that myself as using “lines” never sat well with me. It just doesn’t feel natural. However, there was one concept I got from some PUA friend that I really think does go along with Shogun Method. Oneitus- the idea that one woman is the only woman for you (that is to say, you have to have a specific girl and no other girl is good enough). You know, that One girl you can’t stop thinking about and would pursue to the end of the world? That one.
    I bring this up because in a lot of posts I see other men talking like that. I worry that, in that state of Oneitus, you care too much about the outcome to really be effective. We’ve all been there, or at least most of us. Inevitably and ironically I’ve found the LESS I care, the more others do. Its almost like the act of valuing someone makes them devalue you. It doesn’t mean I actually stop caring about them. But I refrain from behaving like I do anymore. And I most certainly try to keep in mind that, as far as women go, there are literally billions of them out there and if she’s one in a million, there’s several hundred million of her world-wide. By trying to win a woman through the traditional courtship rules, you actually put her off.
    And one more thought in response to the recent newlsetter:
    There is nothing inherently good or evil about the Shogun Method. Is a “gun” good or evil? No. Its entirely up to the user. Also, the Shogun Method is about effective communication. You aren’t controlling a woman so much I think as you are effectively communicating both your value to her and what you want from her. When you do this, you appeal to her nature as a woman and she is compelled to be attracted to you because you are filling the role of Alpha male. That’s not manipulation, that’s communication! You aren’t holding a gun to her head and demanding anything from her. You are presenting yourself in an effective manner to demonstrate value, whatever you want that value to be.
    And a final thought about Fractionation: In the newsletter Derek mentions that “Frank” said Fractionation is basically very dangerous and that’s why its trained by professionals. This implies that everyone going for professional training is moral and ethical and will adhere to whatever promises they make in the training to only use it a certain way. For all the professionals of every field out there I think its safe to say we’ve all seen that the logic in that statement fails. Saying that its powerful and should be used with respect I think is enough. There is no need to take a silly oath, as the unethical will ignore it anyways and the ethical are going to follow it that way with or without an oath.
    I for one, greatly appreciate Derek Rake and this website. Its helped me better understand myself as well as people. You can study in books for years and miss a lot of the information Derek has neatly organized here in the IRAE model (though I question the necessity of the final step still…guess that really depends on if you want to get married or not, but I’m still kind of new at this).
    Thanks Derek.

    I have a couple of questions regarding its effectiveness. Obviously I can understand that your method would be dynamite with younger women. But is it just as effective on older divorced women especially those that appear “jaded” towards men ? The second question is

    This worked on lots of people, but there is this one girl who is really cold, she is one of the hardest most hard-to get type and really egotistical what should i do (p.s. she does not have boyfriend so don’t need the boyfriend destroyer)

      Donovan, it sounds like you’ve rushed to enslave her too quickly. You must have hardcore Rapport + Attraction for the Black Rose to work. Remember to calibrate correctly so that you know where you stand in her eyes. You may want to re-evaluate your rapport levels and then focus more on Attraction (with more REPEL than ATTRACT) before attempting Enslavement.

    Derek, Firstly I’d like to thank you for sharing this priceless info. I was surprised to see how many aspects of the shogun method I had unknowingly been using with great success before finding out about your method, as well as the things I was doing to digress my progress that I had made. This past summer I met a girl I was instantly attracted too.. She was on “a break” from her bf of 3 years who was returning soon from Spain. I believe I have the upper hand although there is still platonic feelings between her and her now ex who goes to school with her..She is in Spain now for the next 3 months, as the frequency of our communication started to wane I was beginning to come across as needy and I could definitely notice effect this was having on her, finally I video chatted her fractioned heavily and used some synesthesia to link some specific feelings with colors I totally reversed the effects caused by me coming off as needy or desperate. Ive been using implanted commands via text as well as alot of push/pull. Because we rarely have time to video chat or talk on the phone.(this limits the amount of kino) What are your biggest suggestions to keep her fixated and obsess over me? Can I utilize the enslavement method without physical touch or should I wait a month until I am visiting her in Spain.

Is the theory behind fractionation trying to anchor her positive emotions to me and negative emotions to other world and then bringing her back to positive emotions feeling toward me kind of like going to hot water, then cold water, and then after this next hot water feels hotter. Is this how fractionation works deepening the effect? Also, I figured this works when you don’t do it too frequently even though the effect deepens because she can pick up this trick I am doing.

    Hi Derek,

    First, I want to say that I’m glad this discussion section has opened up, I am learning a lot of things to try from other members. I just wish you had a more inter-discussion blog where we could discuss experimental techniques, etc, since I have a lot of them.

    Well, Calibration is still an issue. Also, women still baffle me. One minute they are hot and ready and the next cold and distant. I think perhaps I need to keep better frame control.

    My latest, I was talking to her workmate and used role-reverrsal ‘….you just said that because I am so good looking –well actually i’m starting to believe that one myself! But my target turned around and said casually, well thats one thing I won’t argue, you are really good looking….and she was serious.

    I looked her dead in the eye and she said ‘what….’ and got puppy dog eyes, well, I laid out a ‘hey, I like to go down to the gaslamp sometime, maybe next time I GO DOWN YOU CAN COME…

    That did it….she said ‘I’d love to come with you and started giggling….’ Derek, I can’t tell if she caught the ambiguous meaning or not! Anyway, I pushed just a little, she stood me up.

    So I have ignored her for a few days, I won’t talk to her for a week. Anyway, who cares? When I see her again she might apologize, I’l just say well, if you dont’ like being with awesome guys, I can’t help you….. Then i will go back and push again later…..maybe run do emotion path or another pattern….I’ve done almost nothing except fractionate her and tell her a few stories…

    One thing happened, when she told me she was married I said, ‘well you don’t need to tell me your personal problems’ Her response? YOU ASSHJOLE, and she hit me and giggled.

    Than about a week later she causally mentioned she had moved back to her mom and hinted at problems with her relationship.

    My calibration sense would tell me–she has opened up, we have sufficient rapport, some attraction still should be built Also I sense she is cautious, and has been testing me–that’s why she waited to tell me she is married, then waited to tell me she is having problems. I sense I need to push gently and pull back again…slowly…..a little at a time.

    Then I can get her alone, run October Man 2.0 (energy rose/black rose) and it is over. Can you critique my calibration sense?

        Hi Derek,

        I own her. She is so in the bag for me I can’ believe it. Your method worked just like you said. My key seems to always be to ‘leave her hungry for more’ until I reach attraction. By then I am already making subtle BUT NEVER DIRECT sexual innuendo. I also pull back and ignore a lot, and never leave her with the control choice, i.e. i always break it off before she does. Also I am playing the ‘nice innocent guy/jerk routine a lot, being pretty sarcastic in a humorous way. Plus I pay attention to her friends and other girls around her–you’ve not mentioned this but subtly working a girl’s friends will seem to make the girl want you more.

        Anyway, that girl was the whole IRAE model except i didn’t enslave her. Thanks again, I’m still working on experimental techniques that are offshoots of the shogun method.

      You should realize that the Black Rose Sequence is decidedly an Enslavement device, and which should not be attempted unless you’ve gone through the entire IRAE process (which is quite unlikely during a clubbing outing). If you need something which is rough and ready to be used across any IRAE stage, use the Dark Rake Method instead.

    Hey Derek, I have been practicing both the Shogun Method and Texting on Steroids and I sent some of your example texts out to some of my girl friends and they said they sounded creepy. Is there something I am missing to not come off creepy? Or is it just another case of girls not knowing what they really want?

      To clarify it wasn’t to try and pick them up. It was just me asking their opinion of the lines.

        Instead of using the prepackaged lines as they come, they work best if they are tweaked in order to be “rooted” in the environment that you’re in. Also, you’ve got to build some foundational rapport before using them.

        Bottom line: if you sound creepy, it means that what you’re saying is out of context, and there’s zero rapport.

    Hi Derek,

    I just want to say again, thanks. I’ve beaten to death just about every topic on every forum here, and I still go through whole programs like sonic seduction, etc, that I own, and remind myself of the importance of each part of the whole integrated program you present here. So thanks for your patience, I really appreciate it.

    The question is, what next? I am thinking of experimental projects since I am working heavily on my mentalist and hypnosis (as a stage show type of thing.) I have no particular goals in mind, but I would like to say, pick up two girls at once and do them both, or have maybe three girls live with me and share me with enthusiasm. LOL (Impossible?)

    I want to say, I have never had the need to enslave anyone yet, she is going to have to be really special for me to make a woman a keeper. I just want to have fun.

    So, I’ll be posting things that work time to time in the appropriate forum, and I’ll always shill for you. I started with Sonic Seduction, and ended up at this point and I’ve benefited in every aspect of my life.

    Thanks, and may the Gods of Love always shine down on you.

    Its been a few weeks since I finished the course. I haven’t mastered the “Black Rose Sequence” yet, in fact I haven’t had an opportunity to try it yet. I will this weekend. Especially after the friendly reminder letter in the email to “stay the course”.
    I wanted to thank Derek again. Since I’ve been doing this some very interesting changes have been taking place in my life. My wife is a self-declared lesbian. We haven’t had sex in 4 years. We’ve stayed married for various mutually beneficial reasons but she’s encouraged me to “find someone else”, especially for sex. So, I’ve finally accepted this. However, in using Shogun methods (and listening to the Alpha soundtracks nightly), she turned around and we had sex again. She still declares herself a lesbian. She still wants me to find a girlfriend (which is what next week is about). But that I could use this, on her, with her knowing exactly what I was doing and for it to work…
    And I’m stunned by how little effort it takes when the woman doesn’t know what I’m up to. They literally seduce themselves for me and I often find lately that I’m not even trying with some.
    Derek, if you’re ever in town, the first drink is on me. Thanks!

    Hey Derek, so your stuff is cool – I haven’t actually tried any of it yet because I just now “finalized” my understanding/studying it all and now I just need to practice it – but I had 2 urging questions to ask you:
    1) During the rapport phase, what if – when I dish out my cliffhanger story – the girl doesn’t ask any questions at all? What do I do then? Start another story?
    2) I feel like I’m the one who’s doing all the talking – is that supposed to happen? I see that in the intrigue phase I’m supposed to have a conversation with subplots. Great. But during rapport and attraction do I carry out normal conversations now and then during those phases or is that forbidden?
    3) How do I take it from attraction? I don’t want to go onto the Enslavement phase because I feel like too much of a noob and I already have enough on my plate with the other three. Nevertheless – if I wanted to take the girl home on that very same day (forget getting her number – I don’t need her number) how would I go with things after completing the attraction phase? Surely she won’t jump right out of her chair and beg me to take her home lol?

    Thanks! Your work has really changed my life. Again, I haven’t actually put any of it into action – but I already believe that once I try it several times and get the hang of it then sooner or later I will get somewhere with it, I hope 😀

      1. Yes, you can start multiple stories (also known as the “multi conversational threads” strategy.) This is useful when you don’t know which will resonate with her. For more on this approach, look at ConversationalSeduction.

      2. No, that usually means that you’re not creating enough rapport. When done correctly, she should be the one who is carrying the burden of the conversation.

      3. If you’ve completed the Attraction phase successfully, you won’t have problems escalating physically. Well, she might just give you enough hints for you to escalate then. Remember: you DON’T have to enslave a woman.

        Derek, I’m not sure how to “escalate things” after the attraction phase. When I have the attraction phase done, now what? I wanna know where I can go from after finishing the last phase in order to actually take the girl home. Is there a “subphase” lol or something like that. I know the next phase is enslavement. But I was wondering if there was something in between Attraction and Enslavement that would allow me to escalate sexually with the girl. How do I do that? Thank you!

          OK, here’s how physical escalation goes as far as the Shogun Method is concerned: you can escalate physically anywhere in the IRAE Model.

          And here’s how you can do it: you can start initiating “safe” physical moves like holding her hands for longer periods, and see if she complies. Take two steps forward, and one step back. Also, if she has fractionated sufficiently then she won’t refuse you. If in doubt, go into fractionation to build more attraction and comfort first.

    Hey derek

    I would like to know if it is necessary to confuse / confirm a relationship after i successfully attracted a women to make her my girlfriend. I hear rumors that it is better NOT to confess at all and force her to confess to you instead.

    My last experience with a girl is that after we got together, the spark die quickly ( could be due to unable to enslave her) and before the confirmation we already hold hands.

    If it is true that i should not confess , is it reasonable to sexually touch her before really getting together?

    Just from curiosity can i apply those techniques on prostitutes cause their mindset is a bit different or not ?

    Hi Derek:

    I have purchased several of your products and have really liked how clearly and simplistically you lay out all of your mind control methods. I am sending this message because I would like some advice on how best to use your methods on a particular young lady. I sent a question earlier, but some other questions have arisen for me. I will give some background first. I first met the young lady in question a couple of months ago. She and I are currently classmates in nursing school, so I see her almost every week day. I did build a little non-Shogun Method rapport with her prior to discovering your website, though I did not go out of my way to do so, thinking that it was best to not seem too interested.

    Now we come to the first part of my problem. In one of the Shogun modules you talk about the context in which you build intrigue and rapport with a girl. I believe you used the example of meeting your sensei in a bar and that it might be awkward to interact with the sensei outside of the dojo. This got me thinking about my own situation and the fact that I have never had an opportunity to interact with this girl as anything other than a fellow nursing student. Now the second part of my problem. This girl is a serious student and during most of the time that I am around her we are either in class or she is doing independent study essentially by herself. Moreover, she does not stick around after class is finished. While I have every confidence in the effectiveness of the Shogun Method, I have thus far found myself stymied in my efforts to find a suitable opportunity to put it into practice on her.

    My question then is: how do I create a window of opportunity to seduce her? Also, given that I will probably not have more than ten or fifteen minutes at a time to engage her, are there specific sequences or techniques that you would recommend that I use? I realize that the simple answer to both questions is probably to just move on. That said, I consider this girl very much worth the time and effort and I hope that you can empathize with me a bit and maybe let me know what you would do in my situation, given your knowledge. Please let me know what you think. Thank you so much.

      You’re facing the contextual rapport problem which is quite common than most people would think. Here’s how to solve the “contextual rapport” problem – stop interacting with her within the same “context”!

      Dropping an Intrigue Ping is the best way to create a window of opportunity to seduce her (or to get her out of the “nursing school” context.) 10-15 minutes is more than enough to (1) use an Intrigue Ping, and then (2) use a Shogun Sequence on her. You’ll find ample examples of these in the Intrigue + Rapport modules.

    i Derek,

    I wanted to tell you that, using the IRAE method, I’ve scored 4 touchdowns in a row with a bit of modification to my attraction routine. I’ve added an attraction routine with fractionation, it is an embedded ‘Falling In Love’ pattern as well as a boyfriend destroyer. I’ve scored 4 women–2 married, and 2 single 26 year olds–and have been able to get the women to actually fall in love with me in 20 to 25 minutes. here’s what’s happening:

    I first use my ‘ black cloud’ pattern which I have discussed numerous times on here, about me almost meeting death from liver disease. I fractionate the women hard, and when I finally bring them to ‘sunshine’ I end it with ‘I have this feeling, like a glowing ball of energy inside me, I can feel my life. DON’T YOU NOTICE hOW YOU CAN FEEL ALIVE LIKE A WARM BALL OF ENERgY IS INSIDE YOU? I get agreement on this.

    During this pattern, I leave these treads ‘hanging’ 1) how I was left by my wife, and alone — hAVE YOU EVER FELT ThAT? 2) I studied about life and death, heaven and hell, internal energy, etc. I do this to set them up for metaphysical/new age patterns, so they are congruent.

    After some rapport building, I run this pattern, almost verbatim. For reference, it is run EXACTLY like DERREN BROWN’S ‘REALITY Shift’ pattern with the same anchors, as seen on you tube. The key is to first get them to identify ‘that place inside were absolute truth exists, were you know that everyting is true’ Then I run this pattern. When I am talking about the ‘place were absolute truth exists, I have an anchor that is my left and over my heart. here is the pattern:

    When I was sick, I began to see everything in terms of certainty and uncertainty. On one hand I was deathly ill, and felt a great amount of uncertainty about ever being healthy again without treatment. On the other hand, after I had been treated I became certain that I would live; I felt my life again, with certainty, deep inside in a place where you know everything is absolutely true.
    Can you find that place in yourself where absolute truth exists? For example, in that place you KNOW with absolute certainty your name, that you love your family, etc. It is absolutely true. Find that place.
    Many things work like that in life in terms of certainty and uncertainty. For example, you might have met a man, or even have a husband, who you first met and after a brief feeling of uncertainty, you began to see things that you like and slowly it became a certainty that you wanted to be with the person; you might have even married them. However, often as not, there remains some uncertainty inside yourself because that special person has done or said something that makes you doubt them; and though life continues with them, there remains a cloud of uncertainty that might be unsettling—or it might not. Can you picture that uncertainty?
    So, what are the things, the traits, the characteristics that you find attractive in a man? Think deeply and tell me. I’ll bet you even like or dislike a man almost instantly; if you dislike them, they remain on the uncertain side as long as you know them. Tell me know.
    Directions: After the elicitation, mirror back the things like this:
    Oh. So you mean, when you meet a man, and you like him, you begin to see X, Y, and Z, a cluster of feelings and emotions. Can you see it as a ball of feelings and emotions, a glowing ball of everything you like?
    So as you begin to see those things, more and more of them in the man you are looking at, it becomes a certainty that he is special, and suddenly you find yourself in that place of absolute truth, and you see the man as a glowing ball of feelings of the things you love, and you realize that you are looking into the eyes of a man you are in love with. Can you picture that? Let it run through your head if you will, but you don’t have to. In the end, you REACH OUT YOUR HAND and touch the hand (extend your hand) of the man you are in love with.

    Thats it. I have two women telling me they are in love with me, one married woman talking dirty and making lewd suggestions, and the other married woman, she told me EVERYThINg about her life, including how many men she slept with, etc–and I never asked her for ANY of that information.

    This pattern is so potent I feel almost ashamed–but hey, I am a Jedi Knight of the Derek Rake Order, so I accept my nature as a manipulator. One thing, I do pull back a lot, and use all the tools and tricks that are shown in insider labs, Sonic Seduction, and the Dark Rake Method. I’m always fractionating, building more attraction and rapport, keeping intrigue running, and in general letting it flow naturally. IT WORKS!

    One last thing I saw–I haven’t used more than 25 minutes for the whole thing–but I had the sensation that hours had passed, i.e. I experienced Time Dilation when using this pattern.

    Why is this pattern so brutally effective????? It'[s way more potent than what I’ve been doin.

    Derek, I’m frustrated. I need help.

    SO I’ve spent about 1 week going through the course, another week developing my own script (although it’s more of like a guideline and not a strict, word-for-word transcript in any way at all)

    And then another week goes by with me practicing and practicing. Reciting and reciting. Great.

    Now week 4 comes along and I use what I have learned. I’m in college, by the way. And

    BOOM.

    What the hell? EVERY… SINGLE… TIME… the conversations never got far because sooner or later (actually never “later”, it’s always “pretty damn soon”) the girl excuses herself.

    When I’m in the library, “I have to get back to work. I’m REALLY busy. I’ll talk to you later?”
    Of course I’m not going to talk to them later! I’ve already gone through the entire intrigue phase!

    When I’m at the gym, “I’m meeting a friend soon for dinner, I need to get through my run/exercise, but I’ll catch you later?”
    Again, I say no to her. Because obviously if you f*ck up the first time, you’re done, right?

    Derek man, I’m so lost. I’ve about had it. Weeks 5 and 6 have gone by with the same old bullsh*t.

    Hey Derek, so I followed your advice and I tweeked my intrigue a lot. I start with the name opener ping and follow up with the 3 tests ping. Once I have those two done, I start my intrigue story. It’s about a minute long and ends in a cliffhanger. Then I jump right into the 3 sequences found in the intrigue phase.

    Now here’s where I got a question for you: I go to college and these girls are always busy with whatever is going on, so it’s really hard to grab their attention for 20-30 minutes upon first approaching them. So, what I’ve decided to try to do is ask them out on a friendly coffee date. Right after the intrigue stage, instead of going into rapport stage, I ask them out to coffee by saying something like this: “Listen, I gotta go soon, but how about this. You seem like a really cool friend to have, and I know you’re busy – I get it, with finals coming up before break, but how about this. Let’s go grab some coffee sometime, does that sound good with you?”

    Derek, I’m wondering if I should be allowed to do that sort of thing.

    Should I go into rapport stage first instead?

    It’s so easy to say that, “oh you just gotta spill the whole bucket of seduction on them and voila”, but these girls are ALWAYS busy. ALWAYS. When I approach a woman, I know that I have 5 minutes.

    That’s it. There is no more time. After that 5 minutes is up, they excuse themselves and leave. Derek, how the heck am I supposed to pull everything off in 5 minutes?

    You said that my intrigue phase needed some work, and so I fixed it up.

    I don’t get it, what am I doing wrong? Why are they still leaving me?

      If they are still leaving you after 5 minutes, it means that there’s more work required for Intrigue. If you haven’t tried this, then use more Rollercoastering and cliffhangers to capture their attention.

    There must be something I don’t understand about the difference between rapport and intrigue. I didn’t realize I was jumping into rapport at all.

    I am doing my absolute best to not jump into rapport.

    How do I not go into rapport so quickly? What can I do to make sure I don’t accidental go into rapport? I don’t want to go into rapport. I want to go into intrigue phase first, just like you’re telling me, but for some reason I keep getting trapped in rapport stage. Let me know what I can do to AVOID rapport stage. At least until I get intrigue phase done.

    As you can already tell, I am really struggling with this. I’ve never been the brightest crayon in the box, but I’ve always been the toughest bull in the ring. I’m not quitting, I’m just saying that this is really difficult for me. I’m having a very hard time, especially with understanding how to GO into Intrigue phase and AVOID rapport stage at all costs. I don’t want to be in rapport. I don’t want to. But it keeps happening. Gah! lol.

    Derek,
    Please, as soon as possible, I need some help with some trouble I got myself into here. My instincts tell me its salvageable, and that its not exactly over…and I apologize in advance for the long story…I tried to keep it as brief as possible…
    I’ve had some wonderful success with the Shogun method, but I made a big mistake. I never meant for things to get so out of hand. I didn’t mean for things to go the way they did. The story, in short is this:
    I was practicing Shogun techniques, and slowly working towards having a woman fall in love with me. I meant for us to be close friends. I didn’t want things to get to where they did. You see, she’s married with two children and I didn’t want to be a home wrecker. I just wanted a close friend. I was already willing to walk away from the physical aspects of the relationship. I even told her at the start that I didn’t want that kind of relationship with her because then I’d really lose her forever and we’d both be miserable. I made it clear that I didn’t want her to have to be in a position of choosing between me and her kids (I’m in China and the laws out here are very unfair to women in most cases, even if they aren’t written that way…short story…if she leaves her husband, or he leaves her, he gets the kids and she’d likely never see them again). I can’t let that happen. So I wasn’t going to do anything….but…
    Its kind of hard to not do anything when a woman is pursuing you. Especially one you really do admire and love. We hugged. We kissed. We did everything short of sex…that much I was able to exercise restraint on. I had two chances and didn’t, either time. However, now she feels horribly guilty about her marriage. Seeing me makes it worse, because all she feels with me is happy, which ironically makes her more miserable when I’m gone, which makes her even more miserable because she’s locked into her situation. I told her I could wait if necessary. But she said something not too long ago…a “Merry Christmas” if you will. She no longer wishes to have continued contact with me. There are still some moments we will have to contact each other for the next couple of weeks, but after that it will be over. No contact because there will be no future reason to be in touch. I understand her, but I did this precisely because I didn’t want to lose her as a friend.
    I know that in time I’ll be fine. I know I should be moving on to another woman and leave her be. I know our situation is impossible as lovers (and I stated that at the start). But I really don’t want to lose her as a friend, which is what I was trying to be with her from the start. Of course I’d like to think that someday in the future we’d have a possibility, when her kids are grown, but even if that possibility doesn’t exist as lovers, I still want to be friends with her! For very real reasons I’m shortly going to lose any chance at all of salvaging anything from this! I take responsibility for her falling in love with me! I didn’t mean for things to happen like this though! I didn’t mean for it to end up like this.
    I only have a couple of weeks where I can contact her…We’ve been in contact everyday since November 4th until recently. Today is the third day in a row I haven’t spoken to her (she was the last one to say anything to me and she sent it with an emoticon smiley and a hug…but keep in mind she’s also said she has no interest in continued contact after our “business/working arrangement” is over). Neither of us have said anything. I’m supposed to go there tomorrow and whether or not I see her, she will have to contact me at some point in order to pay. Our arrangement will be ending mid to late January (between 15-23 I’m guessing…we haven’t spoken about those details just yet, so I don’t know the precise date).
    What can I do to save this?!? I don’t want it to be forever done! She’s truly happy with me and it hurts her to leave as much as it does for me to say goodbye! I honestly just wanted to be friends, but this is too much. Can I fix this? Please…any advice is appreciated, and I will do my best to follow up on it.

    Thanks in advance!

      Kenneth, if your intention is to remain as friends, then it pretty much simplifies everything. You can (safely) let her know that your intentions are entirely platonic, and then let the ball be in her court. The reason why she’s ceasing contact with you is that she feels guilty about her marriage, which will greatly reduce when time passes. In the meantime, you can help lightening the burden of the guilt perhaps by using some Implanted Commands when you talk to her. Also, highlight more about the fact that she didn’t have sex with you so that the feeling of cheating is not that “severe”.

      The gameplan could be:
      1. Start by telling her: “You’re right, maybe we should just stop this.” (This is a REPEL statement.) “But, maybe ceasing contact is too extreme. Let’s just stay as friends?” (This is an ENTICE statement.)
      2. Spend the rest of your days with her mitigating the guilt (using Implanted Commands), and maybe some REPEL.
      3. Cease contact for a period. At the same time, move on with other women. (This is easier said than done, but it’s entirely beneficial to you.)
      4. If she contacts you, then great. If not, then create an Intrigue Ping around you WITH another woman.

    I had some afterthoughts I might mention…

    I have to wonder if I should have slept with her. I didn’t do it because I was worried of the actual risk to her children and her whole lifestyle. It wasn’t a safe place to really do it.

    My instincts told me to back off awhile ago, but I couldn’t get myself to when I should have. I kept making excuses for why I should respond. I knew, for example, right after I gave her a birthday party…I should have backed up. I didn’t because I wanted to see how happy she was. That’s when things went over the top and then she started backing away…and I fell right into it, chasing her to where we are now. I’m guessing that’s what happened to some extent.

    Things between this woman and I have been declining over the last couple of weeks until Christmas when she decided to, at an unspoken future date (when our business is concluded), cut off all ties with me. She said it was driving her crazy because she couldn’t be with her husband and love me at the same time. Nor could she leave her children.

    I had offered her a stay at home job (working for me, but our contact would be limited to an instant messaging service so that she could stay at home and be with her children…one of the limitations her husband has on her is that she can’t leave their apartment complex, if she must leave the house). She desperately wants to work (and be free from her enslavement to her husband…note: he has her emotionally restrained using her children as leverage, but not emotionally enslaved to him). Even having a job won’t succeed in releasing her from her chains though, because of legal complications in this area…But I again want to note that my interest is actually in maintaining a friendship with her…Some of me entertains the idea that if I was interested later, I could take her when her kids are grown up, but I want to move on with the rest of my life too in the meantime. However, she at the time said this would drive her crazy, even though its everything she wants and needs right now. She made an indication that she was slightly interested in it at a later time, and I simply said I want to help her but I don’t want her to go crazy because of me. Not sure if that was the right response.

    My current strategy has been to back off. All the way back. I’ve limited my text responses (and I stress responses) to very short (with one exception) answers, of which I make her wait lengthy times (a couple of hours) to receive. Today she sent me a few videos of the project I worked on at its presentation and thanked me for it. I’ve been trying to listen to my instincts which keep telling me “wait”. After the last video, I got a feeling I should say something so I simply said “Thank you for these” (with a smiley). She responded and I ignored her after that.

    At the moment our contact is strictly limited to text messages, of which she also makes me now wait for responses if I initiate contact, and when she initiates she keeps it brief if I respond right away. I could probably persuade her to meet with me a final time, though I’m certain that if I do that now, it would be a final meeting and afterwards our contact would likely be cut short…so I would only do that as a final resort. At the moment, my instincts are telling me to avoid that at all costs. I may need that final meeting sometime in the future, but my gut tells me I can fix this best over the limited text messaging.

    Another final resort is a mutual friend we have in common. However, this friend does not know the situation at all and it is most likely best left that way for both our sakes. I’m not sure how they would take any of this. However, I’m wondering if there is a subtle way I could manipulate this person into helping me manipulate the woman in question?

    I feel like such an idiot, or maybe I just got too arrogant. I was really feeling like a master Derek. Maybe this is one of the growing pains in my journey? I have women drooling over me lately..I was even given a partnership in a starting company…All thanks to the Shogun Method applied in different ways! This has turned my life around in such a short time. Honestly, my problem is small compared to the successes I’ve had…but I really want to fix this one.

    To reiterate my questions:
    1) How do I fix this situation so that I can maintain a long-term relationship (friends for now because I stress again I do not want to risk her losing her children…I couldn’t live with myself if that happened to anyone)
    2) Is the work scenario a feasible solution? If so, how do I get her to agree to it?
    3) How can I get her to where we can meet in person again? What do I have to do? It is possible that we may cross paths a couple more times (or maybe not depending on her personal feeling of the situation, or I could manipulate a situation to where I meet her, but she’d likely know I did it on purpose…even if I did, the contact time would be fairly brief).
    4) If our paths do cross during this time, is there anything special I should do or avoid doing?
    5) If necessary, is there a way I could manipulate our mutual friend into helping me without either of them realizing what was going on?

    I’ve considered waiting a couple of months if I need to and then re-initiating contact.

    I’m sorry for so much information. I just am really hoping I didn’t completely screw this one up.

    Thanks again…
    -Ken

      Kenneth: see my answer to your previous question. Stick to the plan.

      If you’ve got a mutual friend to help you, that’s even better! You can ask him or her to spread hearsay for you (see the Enslavement module). But that’s quite premature now. Follow the gameplan I gave you.

        I feel I should update on this:

        I followed your game-plan pretty close. It went very well. As for mitigating her guilt, I wasn’t certain if she felt guilty about her marriage or guilty for believing she enticed me and then had to pull back. Either way I handled it by showing her how happy I was. I also set up a scenario to repeat when we first fell in love, and then I repelled it. She was supposed to zip up my coat…when she did I gently pushed her away and said “Let’s not start this again. I want to be friends”. She looked a bit surprised. Then she invited me back inside for coffee and we talked for almost an hour (I was late for my next appointment but what the hell, some things are more important). One of the major points I think I made with her, I phrased like this (about mitigating her guilt)
        “When your son makes a mistake in math, you don’t blame him, you teach him, right? And when you learn something new, you don’t blame yourself, you accept that you’re learning, right? (she agreed both times). We are all students in life, learning about ourselves. Life is a big lesson. We are going to make mistakes and do things we don’t mean to. But that’s learning. We don’t have to feel guilty for this. Its part of learning about who we are and why we’re here. (she smiled very big at this). And you can feel good knowing that you have learned something important. Our children are friends. They have a lot of fun together. They can help each other with so many things too. (she agreed all three times). And you want to be friends with me too, yes? I want for our families to be friends. You had said you didn’t want to have any more contact with me, but don’t you think that’s a bit extreme?” She nodded and then started talking about how she wants to know about how my business is running. And that we could keep in touch and talk about things. She mentioned that no one understands her like I do and she needs to be able to talk to someone. (I tried to anchor that!).
        Even though this was only one conversation, I have a strong feeling that things are going to go well from here. I am of course, open to any additional advice you have to offer. Thank you so much!

            One more update:
            Things are perfect. I guess as much as they can be. But its strange too. I’m all set to be friends and she breaks down and starts crying. I saw her for the last time (well…our business relationship is more or less concluded, but I have lots of excuses and ways to keep interacting with her now…and she wants that). She forced me into a hug this time. I couldn’t get away (not that I really wanted to). Then she walked to the wall and faced away from me, but I felt it…I knew she was crying. So I said to her “We’re friends. This is going to be okay.”
            It has to be friends for now. For a long time. It can’t be more until her kids are grown. I won’t do that to her. If those feelings last 15 years from now I will take her. But not until then. But I know she loves me dearly. Later that night she sent me a few selfies and said “I hope we can be friends forever”. There was a lot more hidden meaning in her words. I know there is. I simply responded by saying that she was already a part of me and that no matter how things happen, I will always be friends with her. I will always support her happiness. I got three emoticon tears and three emoticon hugs out of that.
            I don’t know what to say. I know to keep this friendship going, I’m going to need to put a lot of work into it, to maintain the relationship. (That is, making excuses to keep in touch with her and be a part of her life). I’m going to need to work on some intrigue pings, story hooks and subplots…oh…and knowing enough to back off at the right times. If I keep this up for 15 years, I’ll be able to write my own Game of Thrones!
            Anyways, Thank you Derek. You can’t imagine the burden you helped me with.

    Hey Derek, does the Shogun Method work everywhere?

    Every time I go to the gym and being the way that I am, I tend to notice that there are hot babes everywhere. Let’s say I get on a machine and start using it right next to a girl who is also using the same elliptical. Could I just straight up use the Shogun Method on her even while she is busy working out at the gym? Let me know, thanks!

    A few questions:

    1. If you didn’t follow the model but you still got her attracted (you kissed), can you still use the Black Rose sequence?

    2. Are the four stages of the IRAE model basically normal conversation but with the techniques in the chart sprinkled in?

    3. How do you know you’ve built enough intrigue, rapport and attraction respectively?

    • Derek Rake

      Reply Reply January 20, 2017

      1. Nope. A kiss really doesn’t indicate anything except for physical escalation. Intrigue + Rapport + Attraction combo is required for Enslavement / Black Rose.

      2. Yes, broadly speaking.

      3. See the section on Social Calibration System.

    I was wondering, your other products like the Boyfriend Destroyer and Reseduction, do they require you to be used with the Shogun Method or can you still use them on their own? In other words, can you apply them on people not seduced with the Shogun Method?

    Derek, got confused between IRAE model and the 10 steps in Seduction on Steroids (SOS).

    In SOS’s Attraction Roadmap, you mentioned that Attraction (Step #4) should be done before Comfort/Connection (#6).

    But isn’t this contrary to IRAE model as we need to build Rapport first before Attraction?

    Please clarify. 🙂

      Reply Reply February 27, 2017

      Pok: the terminology is different in SeductionOnSteroids vis-a-vis Shogun Method unfortunately. In the former context, “Attraction” is more like Intrigue if you like.

      My suggestion is that you take the techniques from SeductionOnSteroids and apply them piecemeal in the context of the IRAE Model. Remember: Shogun Method is canonical and everything must fit into the IRAE.

      I’ve answered your question inside AlphaMaleActivator. 🙂

    Just went through the Shogun Method for the third time. It’s really starting to click now. I think I understand it enough to really put it into action, one at a time. Still a bit unsure how I can make the embedded commands really under the radar, but I think I’ll figure it out. Also seems like some of the things in Shogun Method can also be applied to friendships or other social interactions. I’ll keep you updated on my adventures!

    I have a few other questions:

    1. Is there a difference between an intrigue story and a story you made up purely for fractionating? Intrigue stories can have fractionation but also have the 5 elements to take into account, while fractionation doesn’t have to.

    2. Since I only have 10-15 seconds before her brain makes a decision about me, how can I fit an intrigue story in that time frame without it sounding awkward? One thing I can think of, is mentioning the environment / something else and combine it with history knowledge, but you’ll have to be quite the history buff to do that consistently. I guess history in general can also help you in making stories! Haven’t seen anyone mention it. Just don’t make it too factual.

    3. I know about intrigue and rapport, but how do you know the attraction phase is over and you are free to move to enslavement? After a kiss? Sex? If neither, then when is it over?

    4. If you enslaved a girl, can you make her become someone she normally wouldn’t have though? Like, I love reading and working out, but she doesn’t. Will enslavement make it easier for me to stimulate her to read more? Basically customizing your girlfriend?

    5. In one of the comments, you said the phases are multiplicative. Does that mean that the longer you (sometimes artificially) stay on Intrigue in one session in the beginning, the easier the other three phases become? Does it also work if you’re in another phase but return to an earlier one to build more intrigue for example?

    6. Haven’t actually tried anything yet, but in my country, the people here can be a bit withdrawn when cold approached. I’m guessing that in the intrigue phase, I’ll have to possibly calm them down a bit. Any advice for this? I can think of pre-opening with open, friendly body language and being polite.

    7. How to handle cold approaching groups alone without a wing man? I don’t see how it’s possible, I think you’ll have to resort to PUA stuff for that and hope for the best. Also, if you’re talking to a girl in her friend group as a total stranger, what would be the best or fastest way to isolate her?

    8. I bought Shogun Method Mobile and the Manipulation Black Book, which I’m also going to try. Are there other books or sources about persuasion and manipulation that you would recommend?

    I also posted a question in the Dark Rake section about Strawberry Fields, in case you didn’t notice.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to help and build the Shogun Method!

      Answers:

      1. Strictly no – there’s no clear “demarkation” between intrigue pings and your other Shogun Sequences or Fractionation.

      2. Well, she has got to be a history buff to in order to be intrigued obviously.

      3. Physical escalation (kiss, sex) is entirely independent from the IRAE Model – you can get a kiss during the Intrigue stage and it still doesn’t mean anything.

      4. Yes, depending how deep the Enslavement experience is. If you program “Persephone” to love reading, then she will.

      5. Theoretically, yes, but there’s always the danger of overstaying in a stage which sometimes make it hard to move on. Overstaying in Rapport = friend zone.

      6. That’s what a good Intrigue Ping can overcome.

      7. You’ll definitely need a wingman and a couple of pawns in those situations.

    Hi Derek,

    Greetings!

    I have already read your Shogun Method and Dark Rake Method, along with MKDelta and DRInsider. Because of these, I was introduced to a whole new world of understanding on how the female mind works and its flaws and manipulation of it.

    I have this girl on whom I plan to use the things that I’ve learned. To give you a background, I have no girlfriend since birth, its because I’ve focused on my studies well, I’ve graduated 2nd Honor on High School, became a commander on our Citizen’s Army Training , and became a varsity player, then on College, I’ve graduated as a Dean’s Lister. became a Licensed Mechanical Engineer, and also became a representative of National Team for Football. But still, through this all, I would say that I am not good on girls. But I can say that I am one of the lookers. There are girls whom they showed their affection and motives on me, and this girls are the one we consider that she is the most pretty on her batch. Many times I’ve encountered this . There is one time when I was on High School that these very pretty girl, whom I have also a crush with surprised me when she always smiles at me and waves her hand whenever I saw her. But then I would freeze up. That is how awful I was then. Then she still continued to do this may times more , then finally one day, she and her best friend pass us and my friends an her friend tease us, but I just went froze up again. Then she went to the CR , tugging her best friend and I’ve heard her exclaim ” He is very slow! Why is he like that! etc….” But still, I don’ t know what to do.

    Moving forward, I’ve already got a work on a big company. Then the janitress asked me, “Sir, do you have a girlfriend already?” I’ve said “No , I don’t have. Why?” She said, “Really?! That’s impossible with that looks, you really don’t have? It is because there are women from 5th Floor and 6th Floor who asks me If do you have a girlfriend already.” Then another time, my girl officemate gave me names and number of her friends to me so I can connect with them, so I can have a girlfriend already. Then I searched them on Facebook first, even though their pretty, I still don’t like them.

    Then finally, one time when I was roving the area, I saw this girl, we’ve looked straight on our eyes , then I felt that I want this girl. Then there are other instances that wherever I go , I would see her again, unexpectedly. Then one time, when I went to the McDonald’s, that was evening, I unexpectedly saw her again. She is always on my mind always. During this time, I’ve already started reading the Shogun Method and the MKDelta. Then I’ve tried to show her myself as an Alphamale. Wherever I go, I always bring my people , they are old already, as twice my age. Then they will address me “Sir” when they talk to me , which is natural though. Then I always bring a hand-held radio. One time I saw her with her officemate waiting on the elevator ,then I tried to show I am an Alphamale, I ‘ve called on the handheld radio with a voice of authority, then the security guards backed-up my command then they followed up immediately to address my concern. She witnessed all this. Then one of my people said, ” Sir let’s use the elevator” as he is my accomplice and noticing the girl I like. Then when the girls are already on the elevator, we also hopped inside. Then I’ve noticed that they stopped talking and looking on the eye with each other like they are communicating something. Noticing that I was blocking the door, I stepped aside a little bit so that they can pass when they reach their floor destination, then I hang my hand held radio on my back pocket. I ‘ve noticed that she was amazed by that . Then as the elevator door opens when we reached their floor destination, I gently guided the door, activating the sensor making sure that they can safely pass, making my impression to her: Even though I have the authority , I ‘m always a gentleman to women.

    Then after that, I always unexpectedly see her again, with me roving the area with my people. Then I’ve started noticing that whenever she sees me, she looks at me with i think an amazement. These are because I’ve read your MKDelta.

    I am now planning to apply the Shogun Method. My plan are as follows:

    Plan A:
    While the girl I like is on the 6th Floor, because they regularly went up there on the afternoon, to arrange the letter deliveries I will approach her and say this:
    Me: “Hi! I don’t know if I should ask this or not.” —–Intrigue Ping
    Her: What is that?
    Me: Since you really want to know , what’s you name? —–Role Reversal
    Her: Pat
    Me: Pat Javier —-A sexy actress
    or I should call you Pat Park, as this is a popular surname for Korean Actresses —- she really likes Korean Dramas
    Her: Haha!
    Me: Congratulations, Pat. You’ve passed my test, as reward you may now shake my hand.
    Me. Pat, meet my bestfriend and eternal soulmate, myself. Pat meet Stephen. Stephen meet Pat.
    Her: *shakes my hands smiling
    Me: So from what department are you?
    Fractionation
    Her: Accounting
    Me: So I assume your an accountant.
    Her: I am still not yet. I am an intern. etc……
    Me: So how was it, do you enjoy?
    Her: Etc…
    Me: What is the challenging part?
    Her: Etc….
    Me: What is you dream job?
    Her: Etc…
    Me: So if you became a Licensed Acountant, you will help on my “debit, credit” of my future investments. ——Anchoring
    Her: Haha! Etc….
    Me: Iv’e been noticing this all this time when I see you.
    Her: What?
    Me: Could you remove eyeglasses for a moment?
    Her: Why? *then she removes her glasses.
    Me: Did any guy told you already that you’ve got an interesting pair of eyes? They seems to tell me that there’s more to this woman than you would see on first sight. —— Intrigue Skin Deep
    Her: *Blushes. Etc..
    Me: I should go back to my office now. Our afternoon break is over. ——Time Constraint Value Elicitation
    ———–But this plan is not going to work. because the 6th Floor is where the majority of the Boss of the company has their offices and the area where thy arrange the letter deliveries are near the Lobby, and Security Guard Area when we are caught, It sounds bad.—–
    ———–Also, many personnel will witness this, and my approach is somewhat very exposed. It violates the Precondition #2: You must conceal your intentions until the manipulation is complete.————-

    Plan B:
    I would command our Telephone Technician to temporarily deactivate the Office Local Phone of the girl I want. (This Telephone Technician is my accomplice).
    The code that I would say to the Telephone Technician is “Initiate: Operation Chromite”
    Me: Initiate: Operation Chromite
    Telephone Technician: Copy that, Sir.
    Her: *she would report it then, and then our Telephone Technician will go to her area and repair it (although we have just deactivated it)
    After that, our technician will let her sign the Job Order and the technician will submit it to me.
    Me: *I wil call her on her office local
    : Hello, may I speak with Ms. Pat?
    Her : Yes, this is Pat Speaking. How may I help you.
    Me: This is Eng’r Stephen form the Service and Maintenance Center, I would like to check. Our technician reported that your local phone got a problem?
    Her : Yes , i was not able to use my [hone a while ago. But now it is fixed already.
    Me: That’s good to know,. We aoologize that what you are currently doing were delayed because of that.
    Her: It’s alright. Etc….
    Me: I don’t think I should say this.. ———-Intrigue Ping
    Her: What is it?
    Me: Did anyone told you that you’ve got a sweet voice. It makes me think that it is fun to be with you. ————–Intrigue
    Her: Haha! Etc…..
    Me: We are takilng long already. Thank you for your time. Goodbye! ——Time Constraint Value Elicitation
    Her: Thank you too. Good bye!
    *Then the following afternoon or day, when we see her again on the 6th Floor
    Telephone Technician: Hi Ma’am, how was your phone , is it functioning well?
    Her: Yes. Thank you. Your service was great.
    Telephone Technician: By the way Ma’am, this is Eng’r Stephen our Service and Maintenance Supervisor.
    Me: Hi! So your Pat, the one with sweet voice.
    Her: Haha! Etc….
    Me: Iv’e been noticing this all this time when I see you.
    Her: What?

    Hello, Derek, i was wondering if its possible to use the IRAE model online. as I’m in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend in China and if so is there anything I should do to make it work online? or just leave it as it is. although some of the stuff it says to do kinda makes it difficult to do online. oh and another thing it’s that when I was on Rapport my girlfriend she had fallen in love with me deeply for about 3 weeks or less. so, I stopped but about 5 days ago my girlfriend broke up with me so abruptly saying how the relationship between China and America was not so good and our culture difference thing was so off. I didn’t believe any of it it just sounded like an excuse to break up with or maybe her male friends convinced her to break up with. did I forget to mention that she has male friends! I felt like I had her, but then there was just too much interference from her friends and others and deep down I know she still loves me but was just listening to the wrong people in which I got screwed. so, I really wanna know the IRAE model would still work online. because I wanna use the Enslavement module on her to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.

        I’m unsure tbh, she asked me again if I liked her on a night out. I was drunk and accidentally let slip that I did. She said she feels like she had led me on? I went on and called her out on some of the things she had said to me such as we’d make a good couple, we are meant to be etc. She once even asked do you like me too. When I called her out on this she said she meant it in a jokey way. Is she trying to hide her feelings, is she not worth it? How should I recover from this ? What should I use on her next?

            I have been freezing her out now, sometimes cannot avoid her altogether because of a friendship group, however, I have been ensuring I don’t speak to her whilst at social events etc. Her friend told me she started crying when her friend told her she cannot be flirting with me whilst with a boyfriend. She has a booked holiday with said bf in next few weeks. Whether she is holding out for that due to money she has paid for it or what idk.

            All you need to do to “reverse” the effect of Precondition #2 are: (1) time, and (2) the PERCEPTION that you’ve moved on.

            Freeze out is the default option. Send her a text wishing her a good time with her boyfriend, and then re-engage her when she gets back. In the meantime, tool up on Boyfriend Destroyers and Dark Rapport.

      Practice it on a woman that you don’t have any romantic interest in. For example, drop Intrigue Pings indiscriminately on any female you meet anywhere. Find an old friend and try to escalate from Intrigue to Attraction. Practice Rapport techniques with a stranger. The opportunities are everywhere.

    Derek a couple of thoughts here
    1) I , a member of derekrakehq , have bought the shogun method and read through it thoroughly . In addition to shogun method you offer a series of other master series like cougar seduction , reseduction , alpha male activator , seduction on steroids etc .. I want to know that are these courses interrelated ? Or are these courses works independently or sufficient in themselves ?Can you number the reads as to first and second to prioritise those courses as first reads , second and so on ?

    2) When a seducer wants to seduce the target it so often happens he is already seduced by her charms and develops an innate desire to have her in full capacity . As such how does he bring himself up to go through precondition number 2 and run a full IRAE on her ?

    3) Can the advanced projections which is the magic bullet to IRAE be used in situations where the whole IRAE is impossible to be performed in short time limit conditions ?

As you had already been saying its like bringing a nuclear weapon to a gunfight . Another line which I recall is the magician as the seducer who is simply able to perform great tricks over simple mundane principles . I want to know whether this method is still going to work on a woman especially the ones who already knows the shogun method and is well aware of guys out there who are trying to manipulate women through the shogun method ?

    There is an implication that IRAE does not have to be all in one sitting, per Module 5 – Bounce. If so, running out of time, or just do not seem to build enough rapport but you are sure you have intrigue down and she is interested, can you come back the next day and start off at rapport, or you do start from intrigue and work up. On Intrigue really need more examples, I am a great storyteller, but horrible at the creativity part. I need an outline to fill in. Again on intrigue, can we use Fractionation lines (this seems to be implied in other modules), those come easy to me. I posted, but it is not there, help on my situation. So I am pursuing someone with severe visual impairment, really need suggestions where Mirroring is concerned. Due to her unique circumstances it is very difficult to get her out of the house and away from her friends to use most of the techniques without interruptions. However her house is her comfort zone where we can be completely alone. Last question of sorts. The Yin Yang Routine in Rollercoaster really fits something I might say to a lady, is it Intrigue or Rapport or both? I was thinking about borrowing it for Intrigue and I think this may be the most difficulty phase to get her to progress out of (however I think I already have her interest). Suggestions – A regular forum where we can post success, sequences, questions, fully moderated as needed. The after comments section is a bit hard to sift through, especially when there are so many different sections to look through for answers.

    • Derek Rake

      Reply Reply April 22, 2017

      You don’t have to restart from Intrigue – especially when the time difference is just a day or two. About story outlines: see the Rollercoaster report – it’s simply peak – trough – peak – trough – plateau – peak – trough, etc.

      Mirroring with someone who is visually impaired – it can be done verbally, too. Simply repeat or rephrase what she said – that will have a similar effect as “visual” mirroring.

      Yin Yang routine: it’s more suitable for Rapport because Intrigue routines are usually short and punchy (e.g. Intrigue Pings).

      We have tried the Forum approach before but it didn’t work: most of the discussions went WAY off tangent without proper context – that’s why limiting discussions to specific IRAE Modules / stages make them more focused and useful.

    Hi Derek Rake,

    I just had a glance at the shogun method, viewing some of the exercises, videos and documents attached. I have never seen anything like these ideas before, and they somehow feel instinctive even if there are some controversy issues.

    I’m completely new to this method, and am still trying to learn and understand it slowly. I just have some questions to ask: how can one tell if one is successful in doing the “intrigue” part to proceed to “rapport”? Can these stages overlap with each other, such as first three used at the same time but in order, when seducing a woman? What would your advice be towards beginning to apply and practice the shogun method in everyday life?

    • Derek Rake

      Reply Reply May 14, 2017

      Intrigue calibration is easy: is she interested to hear what you’re saying next? Is she actively probing you and asking you questions? Remember that all you want to achieve in the Intrigue stage is to capture her attention.

      Stages cannot overlap, and they have got to be sequential.

      My best advice on using Shogun Method on daily life: once you mastered Shogun Method in DATING, you’ll see parallels in your everyday relationships, and your application of Shogun Method skills in your daily life will be automatic.

    Greetings Sensei,

    I have a question more to do with a psychology principle. I know that to accomplish a specific worthy goal you must begin by constantly holding an image in your mind or play a mental movie of it to form a burning desire for its achievement. But when it comes to getting with a particular woman, if you do this, your self-sabotaging yourself. For instance wouldn’t doing this make your interactions outcome dependent? Why does it work for achieving say, financial goals, but when it comes to a woman it backfires?

      Reply Reply May 27, 2017

      I’d prioritize process-driven vs outcome-driven. The IRAE Model is essentially a process model. In Rapport stage, for example, you’ll focus on the process of building Rapport instead of having a specific outcome in mind (“She must go out with me this weekend where we will kiss and make out”).

    Reply Reply June 7, 2017

    Derek, I’ve just finished the Shogun Method in its entirety and was beyond impressed. The practicality and structure of your program truly makes it easy for anyone with determination to learn rapidly.

    The first “target” I would like to practice the IRAE model on is a friend of mine that I’ve known for about 2 years now. It is my belief that for the majority of the relationship I had been cemented in a strong rapport “friend zone” with her. However, for the past month (April-May), a newfound “playboy” attitude had led me to begin introducing more and more sexual tension by means of flirtation attempts, primarily (Not much physical touch, but some). However, I unfortunately began to grow exceeding arrogant in myself and abilities and was just spared by circumstance (multiple times) giving her a direct proposal to go on a date with me. My belief was that giving a girl so much attention and passion (going to the ends of the earth for her) was actually deeply seductive. I had picked this up from Robert Greene’s “The Art of Seduction”, and was attempting to be the “Rake” character. Greene seems to believe that one of a women’s deepest needs is to receive far more attention, a void in which the unrelenting Rake can fill. However I now see that my words were not carefully chosen and I was most likely coming across as childish and immature. Currently I have no idea, perhaps even the carefree childish spirit was attractive to her in a sense. On top of this I had no means of social calibration ability, so I just assumed eliciting smiles meant good signs.

    Anyways, that “childish” character is most likely her last impression of me, and we no loner speak daily, considering school is out. Now, I would like to in essence “restart” everything using the IRAE model. The only way to contact her however is via text messaging, which she is infamously slow at responding to. I purchased and read the first few rules of the “Texting on Steroids” course, however they appeared to be catered towards girls you have made contact with in the last 48 hours (at least), and we haven’t spoken in about a week. I also have no way that I know of to find out where my rapport and attraction levels are at considering texting is 1 dimensional, so being able to calibrate seems improbable, leading me to want to just consider restarting. What is your suggested course of action? Should I attempt to text her something, or should I wait until school begins again so I can restart in person.? Thanks -Ian

    Reply Reply June 15, 2017

    Derek, i would like to share with you my thoughts and deeper reflections on the core principles of the shogun method.

    For my reflection I will be using Freud’s model of the human consciousness (ID, Ego, Super ego).

    Since the dawn of mankind, women have been lesser (physically speaking) then the male homo sapians. Therefore, the woman depended on the man to supply her food and production in exchange for giving the male offspring. So from the very beginning of things (from my perspective) the woman has always been co-dependent on another, often times having to alter her own social behaviors for her very survival. This only cultivated further as civilization was founded, and social patterns became ever more necessary for survival.

    Constantly worrying about ones social appearance, just for the sake of perceived (most likely unconscious) “survival”, leaves one in a constant state of anxiety. This state of consciousness is known as the Super-Ego, the part of awareness that perceives outside threats to one’s survival. I believe women marginally tend to fall much more into the Super-Ego artificially, and they adjust their lifestyles accordingly. Personally speaking, i see much more men dressed differently from each other then woman-to-woman, again due to the need for social conformity, evolutionary programmed into women.

    However when a woman feels truly safe and secure with a man, almost as if he is her father, she feels free to explore her ID (subconscious desires). This sends her into a child-like state where she can explore the euphoria and delusions associated with uncontrolled narcissism. However, she doesn’t even need to scheme or employ machiavellian tactics, as she is under constant protection by a perceived powerful “parent”. Cults also tend to employ this strategy, with the leader often becoming an all-knowing and benevolent parent, empowering the followers or “children” to act on their whims, with no fear of survival.

    I can now see how shogun methods already begin to exploit this flaw. For instance, the Jeckll and Hyde sequence points out the woman her perpetual state of Super-Ego, and begins to pull her towards her freer ID side.

    No wonder women in power are always the most miserable 🙂

    Excited to hear you comments Derek, really great program you have here.

    I now know why this is called the shogun method, fight to win!

    • Derek Rake

      Reply Reply June 17, 2017

      Ian: you hit the nail on the head. Shogun Method is based on the premise of ID exploitation because that’s where a woman’s emotional vulnerabilities lie. Specifically, she is wired to always require the protection of a dominant being irrespective of how “independent” she is. Shogun Method positions the male as this dominant being to which she is “forced” to respond (and submit) to.

      Good observation!

          Of course, a lot of our users experience anxiety before putting our techniques into practice. However, when you realize that there really isn’t anything to worry about, your anxiety will be a thing of the past. Worrying won’t change anything.

    Hi Derek, I was very eager to share with you my problem with one women and get solved,i finally have that opportunity:-):-)…. I was familiar with your fractionation techniques before i purchased your shogun method.. Infact fractionation was the one which got me my first love(ya i love to use it:-) )… but i dont realy know how but i used fractionation just on phone not on personal meet or so..imfact we got in relationship in phone call only(and break up was also in phone)… she ment a lot for me… we both wanted to marry each other our bond got very deep and strong…. but now she broke up with me, but hopefully she didn’t leave me for another guy, but she wasn’t the same girl before she changed a lot she kept on hurting me just hurting me more and more…. but i was familiar with your work and i eventually put HER in a friend zone…now she says i am the closest to her … but eventually she keeps hurting me more…. She is a 100 miles away from me now… she went their for her higher studies i won’t be meeting her for 3/more years… so i want to enslave her in phone only… atleast come back into lover zone and be in relationship(until i can enslave her forever)…. some how sometimes something goes right and she will be attracted to me and she even called me as her husband twice but when i say her that i love her she quickly rejects me… i don’t know how to close the deal…. i feelt like my life sucked….. but now i didn’t contact her for a while now i am just on mastering shogun method… so that i could get her when i contact her next time….. But please help me….. I need to get her back in relationship with me….

      If you’re not going to see her in person for three years, Enslavement will be very difficult until she returns. If I’m right in assuming that you’ve also NEVER met this woman in person, it’s unlikely you progressed past the Rapport stage by phone only. Instead, you’ve developed Contextual Rapport, hence her breaking up with you. My advice is to freeze her out for a while, then when the dust is settled, begin the IRAE process again. Be wary though, unless you see her in person, the same will happen again.

        I presented nearly the same problem to Derek here 3 months ago with a woman I’d become completely nuts about but who lived across the ocean in Belgium. She backed away from meeting and went cold on me, claimed she’d become depressed… it all turned out to be BS she’s found someone local and gotten engaged. I was pissed at the time and was truly upset about it for a few weeks didn’t want to get out of bed. I only found out about the engagement from a mutual friend a couple weeks ago and as I look back on it now I wish her nothing but happiness as I’ve figured out how to use what Derek teaches to scoop up more than my fair share of real, ready and willing local females. My advice; if she’s not ready to meet you within a short time and take physical action toward it, then it’s not a real relationship – you’ve got as Derek calls it ‘Contextual Rapport” and you can start freezing her out and/or dropping hints about the other people you’re going to meet. Key is not to give the emotional investment yourself if there’s nothing in return. Get her hooked first before you give up the game. Live and learn. Hope that helps.

        But i guess u assumed my situation wrongly probably because i didn’t provide the complete info….
        Here goes the complete story….
        She happens to be my relative my cousin we know each other from kid’s soon she connected to me in a deeper level i felt she was the one i was waiting for and i have decided to be even she was attracted to me so we both decided to be lovers and later get married but our parents got to know it in a wrong time( i mean to say it was too soon for us to confess our love to them and get their permission)…. things got horrible and out of control were i decided to not to hurt our and not to go against their will….so i was the one who broke up with her first but again within a few days we became together again and this brk up and patch up story continued for some time (repeated)….later i guess i got clingy or something and i was bit depressed by situation’s and angrily i texted her that “let’s break up if you are not interested” and she got irritated and break up really happened this time for real….. later how many times i convince things didn’t get better…. i know that together we can convince our parents after all they also need our happiness…but now she isn’t with me…
        We thought we were the best for each other we french kissed each other several times
        But i feel she is the one for me…. right now we are staying as friends but not to get stuck in friend zone i sometimes plant naughty thoughts in her mind…. but i need to get back with her is till attraction module sufficient or just fractionation will do?

    Hi Derek,

    I originally bought your product a few months ago and the end game I had in mind was to get together with a beautiful Belgian woman I met online (I live in FL) and who’d come to totally seduce me with a promise of coming to America for a confirmation visit before permanently moving here and getting married. Sadly she flaked and I got depressed for a time. But during that time I studied up on your material and others and synthesized my own flavor of system. I made a breakthrough discovery the other day that I wanted to share with you as it may benefit other members.

    So, I had been using POF to prospect online and was getting nowhere for a month or two when I made some very subtle improvements to my profile – added 2 pictures taken during a trip to New York City which added some intrigue, and changed the headline to ‘passport required’ but then I found the secret sauce…

    An opening intrigue ping that is now getting me 1,000% greater (hey I’m in marketing and I haven’t actually done the stats on this but it’s in that range + or -) responses to open new conversations.

    I purloined it from another site online and it has been absolutely killing for me. Here it is:

    Click: Nope. Click: Yikes! Click: Uhhhh Click: Oh hell no…
    Click: Hmmmmmmmm

    That’s a dramatic re-enactment of the last 5 profiles I read, ending with yours. You look like someone I’d actually like to know more about. So tell me, what’s the last spur of the moment, totally spontaneous thing you did?

    The elements for success are
    1. pattern interrupt (this is not a ‘normal’ message)
    2. shared experience of clicking through endless crappy profiles then finding a cool one
    3. humor
    4. spontaneity…. something most women want to at least think they have in their lives OR in some cases desperately long for.

    Anyway, the other steps I have put together in moving from this opening to meets in person have become nearly automatic now and so I have sequence chunks that I do with most interactions that form a framework for me to follow and then there’s a little extemporaneous based on the individual conversations.

    The other stages are:
    1. after the opening and their answer, they usually ask about what i’ve done that’s spontaneous so I have a story for that. If they don’t ask I tell it anyway.
    2. Have you ever taken one of those online personality profile assessments like they have over at 16personalities.com? This is a huge step towards both intrigue (she shares hers, you share yours), and rapport building
    3. Jeckyll and Hyde Shogun Sequence – aka do men know what women want? (you know about that one)

    There could be any number of small topics interspersed based on shared interests/small talk but once those 3 key areas are hit I find I can go to close with

    “you seem interesting and I’d like to get to know you better in person. Let’s meet for coffee or drinks. What’s your schedule like next week?”

    This week I had…

    1. date with a 7 ended with kissing and touching on the beach at night – 2nd date scheduled.
    2.. date with a 9.5 that went amazing; huge attraction vibe. She came to my house 2 nights later and we had awesome sex… she’s in consideration for enslavement!
    3. coffee date with an 8 went really well but I had an actual other appointment to get to and cut it short. I did manage to complete Jeckly and Hyde sequence face to face and it had the desired effect. Mutual texting followed the next day. Then last night I got a text at 2am and we texted for about 3 hours during which she attempted to get me to come to her house describing her skill in kissing, blowjobs and sex… I made here wait and now have a follow up date scheduled tomrrow… expect to close.

    In the next 6 days I have 5 more dates scheduled with more new women – two 9s, an 8.5 and a pair of 7s.

    I have 6 others at the ready to meet stage and just juggling which days to get them scheduled over the next couple weeks.

    I have actually lost count of the number of conversations at the various precursor stages but what I can say for sure is that it’s easy to keep the pipeline full by going back to that stupid intrigue ping and just picking and choosing what I like.

    So feel free to share any of that sans my name with your readers in the hopes they can also benefit. I am really impressed with how well I’ve been able to meld your system into what I already know to form a cohesive system that works for me.

    So now my question…

    With all these attractive, interesting and amazingly compliant women coming to me now, what is the best way to manage the inevitable overlap of casual and recurring relationships with more than one of them.

    Seems to me there’s got to be a way that says it while maintaining the frame that they’ll get total pleasure and happiness when its their time with me but that I am free to select when that time is given and to whom with impunity. Your thoughts on how best to word that and lock it down?

    Following testimonial suitable for use in your marketing and given with my express consent for such use:

    “Thanks again for the various systems you’ve authored; I purchased and enjoyed Shogun, ODP and Dark Rapport and have used these to successfully approach, date and have sex with more high quality women more quickly than I ever imagined possible. It’s awesome to be in control of my own destiny!”

      Kevin, you sound like you’re on your way to becoming a master. A huge congratulations to you! It’s even more impressive that you’re doing it via online dating too. In answer to your question, having a lot of women at your mercy is a dream to many people, but be wary of the toll it can take on you, physically and mentally. Of course have fun with it for as long as you can, but be aware that it can be very exhausting. My advice would be to brush off any girls you’re not 100% sold by and stick with the perfect-tens.

    (Hi Derek)

    I think that you should add a warning for the black rose sequence – NOT to imagine yourself performing it on a woman. I imagined myself activating it while learning this sequence, and sort of enslaved myself to that girl I met three weeks ago.. I was f*cked for a week, not in the good way. (luckily, I managed to perform it succesfuly on her and now she is enslaved as well, so I am fine. this is my LAST time using the shogun method – too risky for me ;D)
    As it said in the 7th module transcript:
    “You’re not seducing her, but you’re inducting her in a process of mutual seduction and enslavement.”

    I think that the “mutual” should be clearified.
    If needed – you can add my story, this really IS dangerous.

    I love your work (I love NLP and mind-control), and I hope you’ll consider my opinion.

    now I’m 5 dates into my week… had sex with 2 of them now… kissed all of them… not throwing any of them out just yet…

    another date tonight, tomorrow 2 and possibly 3 dates – golf date morning, park date afternoon… option open on evening but have a follow up in mind.

    Next week am going to Atlanta for corp training all week; have set 2 more dates while I”m up there and a 3rd near my home airport on the return flight….

    so yeah… thanks for all your help on this learning process. Still much practice to come in the field but it appears there will never be a shortage of opportunities again.

    Obviously becoming more selective is a time management strategy; for now I’m enjoying this ridiculous pace so we’ll see how long I last.

    Any further thoughts on maintaining 2 or 3 of the best ones at once or is that a house of cards just waiting to collapse and should be avoided? For me, I’m just not going to make a snap decision to stick with any of them right away. Its time to experience life a little first and discover more about what’s possible and what I like. So yeah, any thoughts on how to do so openly? Would it be enslave THEN discuss other people? There’s a fine line there between being up front and killing the vibe and having your cake and eating it too. Anyway, thanks again and look forward to your reply.

    another update…

    Atlanta went so well with the first date that I set aside the other 6 opportunities and went out with her all 4 nights. She’s 5’1″ Belaussian living here in the US for 15 yrs and looks and sounds like a Bond girl with a ballerina body. At the end of date 2 I asked if we could continue our conversation the following evening and go again… she says “I think we have run out of things to talk about” Now I’ve been fractionating all evening and running all the usual sequences etc so I’m thinking “WTF?” Then she smiled and deadpanned in her thick accent “I am fucking with you.”
    I decided then I would take the following 2 evenings to try and escalate there and to see if I could get her to come to FL. The following evening through implanted commands I was able to get her to ‘make me’ take her number for texting and she invited herself to my house for labor day weekend! I didn’t feel any pressure to ‘hard close’ after that so we escalated to some nice kissing at the week’s conclusion. She’s driving 6 hours here to FL to spend the Labor Day weekend with me kayaking, golfing, scalloping, hiking and beaching. I am considering this as an audition for possible enslavement and will let you know.

    Meanwhile, another discovery I have made is that the Jeckly/Hyde sequence resonates with all women but some more strongly than others. There is a particular personality type that I am now always on the lookout for ISFP types, AKA the Adventurer. This excerpt comes from the full description found at https://www.16personalities.com/isfp-relationships-dating

    “If they do feel appreciated, ISFPs are more than happy to reciprocate in any way they know how. People with the ISFP personality type are very sensual, and in no aspect of their lives is this clearer than in their sex lives. Intimacy is an opportunity for ISFPs to satisfy their partners, and they involve every sense available in enjoying these moments. ISFPs may be shy in public, but alone with a partner they trust, the masks come off – few people get to see this side, and it’s always a pleasant surprise.”

    Anyway, I have found 3 of these so far and all super responsive in real time to jeckly and hyde. 2 had sex very quickly and I’ll let you know about the 3rd next week when I meet her.

    ALSO…

    Marketing stats are now in and the funnel looks like this.

    360 outbound contacts last 30 days
    55 respond and begin conversation
    21 agree to meet
    8 actually meet (7 scheduled in future)
    6 Kissed
    3 sex (all more than once)

    Very pleased with those metrics as I can manage to send out 10 new outbounds per day and keep a very healthy pipeline for as long as I want to keep it going. I will let you know if any further improvements can be realized.

    Thanks again for all your help with getting this process organized!!!

    Derek:

    I am facing a huge problem currently and I’ll admit it has very little to do with seduction, but if you are still willing to help I’ll be very grateful

    ok to give you a little background I would like to attended law school in a few years, and order to practice I have enrolled myself in a college course for debating. But the problem is I’m not that good at arguing a point, so this whole week has consisted of me getting my ass kicked by people who have obviously had a bunch of time debating on court cases, politics, etc.

    1. I tried to use implanted commands to persuade the class, and the opposing side but nothing worked. I realised that I have no rapport with those people so I was wondering is there any type of sequence or technique I could use to build rapport with a class to full of people or am I pretty much screwed .

    2. The case we are working on is brown vs board of education. IDK if you are familiar with the case, but I was put on a side I complety disagree with being on, and to put the cherry on top it’s the losing side. I’ve learned from the shogun Method that it’s better to talk to the subconscious mind to get what you want, but I’ve only tried this with women out on the field. So the problem is how do I talk to a whole class of people and get them to subconsciously follow my command.

    3. Now as far as the techniques I’ve tried I’ve only use implanted commands. I actually though about using fractionation but like I said I don’t how to build a connection with all those people at one time, and just pulling a fractionation story out of thin air would creep people out instead of helping me. on top of that how can I make a fractionation story defending someone ? Idk if I can be done but if it could I know it would be enough to put me at a great advantage. Also would roller coastering be good in a situation like this if so how could I do roller coastering on multiple people?

    4. I’ve noticed you’ve put out a bunch of products after the shogun Method and I know they are for seducing girls but if any of them could help me with persuading people in groups please let me know. Or do you know any books I could buy on manipulation or persuassion? I’m on a very strict budget and have had a few financial issues over the past year which why I had to return some of the products I brought from you I’m telling you this because I only want to invest money into one of your programs that could help me with this situation or a book that you reccomend… but I do plan on purchasing and repurchasing all of your products once I get a steady source of income

      Unfortunately, the methods you’re using won’t work outside of the seduction field. For example, the end result in all cases is Enslavement, but Enslavement wouldn’t change a person’s political outlook. Plus, these techniques are designed for one-on-one conversation with a woman, not for a room full of both sexes. Instead, study the Truth Extractor. The case studies and techniques taught are applicable to emotional manipulation of both genders and aren’t solely based on seduction.

        Hi Derek,

        I purchased your Shogun Method and man do I love that!

        Now, I understand why my girlfriend of 5 years went for another older guy (20 years older than her!).

        I think that old dude used your system and enslaved her.

        1. Now, how do I know for sure and if that is true can I enslave her using your IRAE model even though she is enslaved to the oldie (not sure though)?

        2. I know she has feelings for me as I have stopped contact with her for last 2 weeks and she once in a while sends me non relevant emails to see if I reply (I haven’t).

        3.She is very smart but I caught her with proof which she vehemently denied and got very aggressive that in fact I was the one who was cheating all along! I dumped her as I had never thought that she would behave like that. I thought that she would apologise and we will discuss to sort things out.

        4. I know she went and slept with oldie for next 4-5 nights aftet I left. She is missing me now and under depression but she is too stubborn to contact me or feel apologetic. What should I do?

        I want to enslave her (but I don’t want to get emotionally involved with her any more) as she was the most loving person for me but things have been bad since her affair started about 4-6 months ago.

        Please reply as I am losing sleep over this for a long time.

        Thanks a ton for all the great work you are doing!

          “1 – You just need to have better manipulation skills than him. You also don’t know for sure that he has Enslaved her.

          2 – That’s a good sign.

          3 – Good. You maintainted dominance.

          4 – You’re in a tricky spot because you’re dealing with a woman who is A) dealing with the emotional fallout of a long-term relationship and subsequent affair and B) too stubborn to approach you first. If you want to get her back as a girlfriend, check out my ReSeduction 2.0 program. If not (purely physical), then continue freezing her out for another few weeks. Then, send her an Intrigue Ping via text.

I mean, how and where are the bfd patterns and which pattern to be applied within the Shogun method,i.e. after the performance of which Shogun techniques and in which stage, if required? Also, can you please tell me exactly where within the Shogun method she is to be asked if she has got a bf or not and how is this to be asked?

      Use BFD on a piecemeal basis. These are tactics which should fit into your IRAE roadmap as the core strategy.

      You don’t ask a woman if she has got a BF: it’s an over-projection of interest, and therefore a violation of Precondition #2.

        Also, can you please tell me how many techniques or sequences should I apply in each phase? That is, looking at the Shogun method chart I found that there you have listed both multiple techniques and sequences in each phase. Do I need both one technique and one sequence each to apply on a girl for each phase or do the application of only either one sequence or only one technique suffice for the implementation of each phase on a girl? Or, do I need to apply both of them on a girl for each phase?

    But i guess u understood wrongly sorry it’s my mistake i didn’t provide the info completely …
    She happens to be my relative my cousin we know each other from kids soon i developed a deeper bond with her i felt she is the one who connects me to a deeper level we both loved each other a lot but our parents got to know about this in a wrong time it was too soon for us to express our feelings to them things turned horrible i didn’t wanted to go against their will so i was the one who started the break up but within a day we came back again so this break up and patch up story continued several times but i guess i got clingy and i angrily texted her “let’s break up if ur not interested” because i was totally depressed by situation after that she isn’t coming back no mater how much i convince….. we even kissed several times….but now we are good friends to stay away from friendzone i sometimes plant dirty thoughts in her mind…i know we can convince our parents together but She isn’t with me now …..i should get her back……is till attraction module is enough or just fractionation does it…if so how should i…..even she wants me but now she is scared that parents won’t agree for this!

      If your target is your cousin, please consider both the moral and societal implications of your choices. If you’re happy to continue, the Texting On Steroids module will help your cause if you’re only going to communicate with this girl via text. Also, because you are related, she may have some reservations about you already.

    I guess is a good idea if you email us all with a case study from the beginning of the Intrigue to the end goal.
    It would clarify very questions about the Shogun Method apllied at the real world.
    We would learn a lot from those emails, relating to situations that we maybe are going throug right now.

    *Dear Sir,

    This is Dibyarka from India. I faced severe insult from a woman before my marriage. She is not my wife of course now.

    Here, in India, there is a popular matrimony website called Shaadi.com. Shaadi means marriage in Hindi.
    I enrolled up there and sent interest to a girl named Madhulika Chakraborty. Bengali.
    I was then staying in Mumbai and the girl in Kolkata. Still she sent me an invite in Gtalk which I accepted and had a few conversations. Exchanged phone numbers with her and talked over phone also. She herself also called me a couple of times and I don’t remember if I have called her up from my end or not. Maybe I may have done.
    During conversations perhaps she told that she doesn’t want to leave Kolkata and get settled somewhere else. I was a divorcee then and my previous wife told me before leaving me that I have no qualities of a guy, she could have been much happier if she got married to any other boy in the world and I am a selfish person who is happy if only his own desires get fulfilled (actually I never did any penetration during my 9 months stay with her and used to ejaculate outside her body and a couple of times in her hand also). She further went on that her life became a hell because of me (I don’t know how I tortured her but she told me that everybody will come to the help of a person whom they love so much, which is she herself what she meant, if they here what condition she is in, again I don’t know how I tortured her except not loving her) and her family and lawyer showed us threats of harassing us legally if we don’t give them 1.5 million bucks along with the divorce which we ultimately managed to settle for 0.5 million bucks. So, she took that money and…then gave an ad in Shadi.com claiming to be looking for a guy with a much bigger income. She has got married now with someone whose professional details I don’t know but have found his profile on FB.

    So, back to the previous point. After divorce I became too much eager to show her that I get married to a much better looking girl. So after this girl, the one I mentioned before coming to my ex-wife’s context, told me that she does not want to leave Kolkata, perhaps I did some begging that don’t leave me, etc. She told, when did I came to you that I will leave you?
    However, after a few days she officially declined my interest in Shaadi.com and a couple of days later my mother called me up telling me that she has called them up(of course without informing me) only to listen her shout over the phone that why is she calling them up even after she has rejected my interest (which my mother was ignorant of).
    I also didn’t take the matter any further. But, after some days, while I was surfing my mobile, I came across her chathead in Gtalk and playfully asked, “how are you?”
    Got the reply, “why are you messaging after so many days? Your mother quarrelled with us and told that I am a bad girl, I do not know how to adjust. That’s why I have got divorced. Have I ever told that mother in law’s don’t know to adjust?”
    I told that I don’t have any intention to marry her and I have deleted her number and I am not aware of how my mother talked with her. I was only asking how was she doing.
    She also told me that she too has deleted my number long ago. She has found me to be a miserly person because sometime, as she told, I disconnected the call while she was talking to me(I don’t remember when that happened) and she had to call me back. She concluded that I did that to save my telephone bill even after earning lot of money (according to her perception of course).
    “I have informed my parents that you are disturbing me”, she continued, “we will take steps against you if you still disturb. God has saved me from getting married to you. Who will marry you? You cheap, flirtious boy. I don’t think you have got any work, you and your cheap mother.”

    So dear Sir, can you please tell me if there is any way to make this two, I don’t know what type of, girl to repent for lifetime for thinking me to be useless and cheap? Can you please tell me what harm have I done to them so that I had to suffer this insult?

    Thanking you,
    Dibyarka

      Dibyarka, it seems like this is a cultural issue rather than a relationship issue. It doesn’t sound like there’s any reason why she’d dislike you so much, relationship-wise. Are you sure she didn’t just use you for money? It seems to be her primary motivation. Am I correct in assuming you DON’T want this girl back? She sounds like more hassle than she’s worth.

        But boss, can you please tell me the way in which I can make them crave me and repent psychologically for pushing me away from them. So that, I can at least get some social advantage in giving the society a message that I am not a person who is so easy to ignore of and the people around here who are enjoying the fact that I have been let down by these girls might stop enjoying this as they see that these girls are biting their hands in repentance for rejecting me.

    Hey Derek!. I’ve bern best friends with this girl for this girl for 8 months but i ended up developing feelings for her during this month, since we got extremely close to each other emotionally. Apparently she had developed feelings as well, however she doesn’t think they’re romantic, but just an extremely strong care for Me + sexual attraction. She says this because she liked another guy before. Now we are in the best friends who have Sex with each other zone…. how do i transform this to a romantic relationship?

    Good day Derek

    Thank you for producing the Shogun method,it has certainly helped me to recover my self confidence,and improved my confidence around all women.

    I would however like to ask your advice on how to proceed in the following case:

    Before I started the Shogun method, I have been trying to seduce a waitress at a restaurant.
    I knew her previously from school, and she is now a divorced single mom with 3 kids. She is a short but naturally beautiful woman, who sadly knows it.

    I have got to know her better over the last year and a half , and have tried to ask her out twice with no joy. Because her place of work is situated at an airfield,most of her customers are wealthy older pilots. I am actually a year younger than her, and obviously not a pilot.

    I came close to succeeding in the past,but not knowing the shogun method then,i told her my intentions.

    The next week,she had started dating a guy,who looked one year older than God. So in my basic stupidity,I showed up at her work with a drop dead female friend(taller and bustier) on the weekend just to prove a point. It did,and she could barely talk to me,never mind look at us.

    She dropped the fossil a week afterwards. But before I could regain the initiative, she was dating another Loser, who thankfully didn’t look like he was about to be put on pension.

    I’ve found the most potent boyfriend destroyer technique to use , is to let her be herself.

    Basically I’m still wanting to go out with her , but more now to prove a point.
    Fractionation and mirroring worked wonders, but due to the nature of her work and my new found confidence, I haven’t been able to pin her down for a longer session.

    Although I have been able to subtly make friends out of her bosses and some colleagues.
    I suspect I rate only about a 3 on her desirability scale.

    How can I succeed, bearing in mind I can only really visit her at work on weekends?

      Have you considered contacting her online? If you’re showing up to her work, she’s not going to be in the most responsive state because she might be busy / stressed, etc. Also, the fact she ignored you when you were with someone hotter shows she’s interested. Try a different approach. Let me know if online communication is viable and we’ll go from there.

        Thanks for your swift response. I already have her phone number , and 2 facebook profiles (invited by her,not my request) . And she loves to post about any drama in her life. However even if I respond to her posts , unless its one of her kids birthdays, she doesn’t respond to my comments.

        So I have been ignoring her, and avoiding whatsapp contact, because I normally only get a one word answer if at all. But I do “accidentally” post things on facebook , that she may have an interest in never mentioning her directly ,and although she never comments, occasionally she will tell me verbally that she’s read my posts.

        Usually without prompting.

        As a side note , Is alcohol consumption by the intended victim a help , or a hinderance with the Shogun method.

        Oh and lastly she is also stressed quite a bit, because the management may be changing soon at her work,and her job isn’t secure.

        Thanks again for the help!

    Hello, Derek

    Thank you very much for sharing such a valuable knowledge.

    I would like to share my current situation and see if I can get any help.

    I have read the whole shogun method, and despite the fact that a few things were quite familiar with “getting-ladies” methods, I am flabbergasted. It is impressive and I love Shogun’s way.

    The thing is that I live with the lady in question. I thought around a month ago that she and I have built such a good friendship, exacerbated by seeing each other every single day, that I had screwed it up in terms of having a male/female approach. I know now, thanks to this worthwhile inversion, that that is not the case.

    Of course, I do not want to hurt anyone. In fact, I am more respectful and sensible than the average gentleman out there. However, I do not want to be her friend. The connection is such that I am fairly certain that the sexual relationship would be mind blowing and a benefit for the both of us. So, I am glad to have understood that I can jump, not easily though, from the friend zone to the “I want to do him right now” zone.

    Dear Derek, by no means would I be wasting your time If I did not know, despite being good mates, that there is something more there. Some comments and digs, some touches and sights that make me certain at a level, that she is into me. My move has to be superbly launched, though. Otherwise, I could reach the point of screwing everything up and have to look for another place to live.

    Thank you very much Again

    Best,
    A

    Hi Derek,

    I am trying to make my friend’s sister fall in love with me. I only see her whenever I go to his house to hangout. She’s known me for a while and we’ve talked on multiple occasions but after a while it’s hard to keep the conversation going. To make matters worse, her mom is usually around and doesn’t like seeing her around guys other than her brother. Because of that, it’s not easy to keep long conversations going. I have a feeling that likes me because of the way she looks at me and smiles. I also get the feeling like she is a little shy around me so I know she doesn’t see me as just a friend ore even a brother. So I am willing to take the chance of using fractionation or shogun sequences on her. I just need to know what sequence(s) are better for shorter windows of time . Also, I wanna thank you Derek for all the products you have created to help guys like me. Currently I own Shogun method, shogun sequence handbook, and texting on steroids. Would those be enough to get her attracted quickly or is dark rapport a useful piece of the puzzle

    I am having trouble right off the bat with this.Im 58 [pass for 48]and dealing with hardened ,divorced/widowed women from 45-55 y/o. When dealing with the intrigue thing they try to take the power by insisting I spell everything out, analyzing my words etc.its like they have your course also. When I don’t give,it all fizzles out .I meet these women on dating sites,have purchased all of your texting courses and need some help battling these hardcore prospects. It never happens with the fatties, just the hot ones.3 out of 5 I actually do meet work out good but again the others still an issue with bad dates. If no kissing, I consider that a bad date and havnt the time to waste on one in particular. I don’t use this for sex as that’s not my goal. Right now i want to meet as many hot women that i can[not many around esp where i live] in hopes of actually finding a hot one that I actually want. Looks are one thing but finding a woman that has her stuff together at these ages isn’t an easy task .You can actually fall in love over text,i found that out and feel you need a course just for this as dating sites are growing and women are becoming men and men becoming women.Its all about how society and what it has done to women in america

    Hi Derek,
    My name is Andres Restrepo,
    I know probably you won’t even read this but I feel like I have to give it a try,
    Maybe you remember my story from the Shogun Method forum but I’ll tell it again and this time without hiding anything.
    A year ago I met this crazy, amazing girl (while I was dating somebody else); she was beautiful, happy, independent and really smart, I fell crazy in love for her. I left my other girlfriend and started dating her but, as I told you, she was extremely independent and was usually really genuinely busy. She would take long hours to answer my texts and she was pretty much always a little late to our dates (even though, I have to accept that I’m an extremely impatient person). Even though I always quietly doubted her love for me, she would show me, from time to time, that she did love me (she pretty much asked me to take her as my girlfriend, said “I love you” first, never wanted me to leave her house, crying her eyes out when I left to study abroad and so on) but most of the times she had to have her guard extremely down to do so (drunk or after having sex (I took her virginity) or after some extreme drama).
    She left to take 6 months off after graduating to Thailand and I left to study for 2 years in Florida (we’re both from Bogota, Colombia). From that moment we began a long distance relationship, and a extremely hard one. 12 hours time difference, I have to study and she also always has something to do in Thailand. So pretty much we only have like 6 hours to talk each day and since she can take up to like 10 hours to answer to some of my texts is even worst. I have always been the one that’s more available, in Bogota I would stay at home or work on my music while she always had something to do (visa papers, getting her things ready to go to Thailand and so on…); in Thailand she has to take care of kids 24/7 while I only have class 2-3 days a week. I’ve tried to be less available, but the reality is that she’s genuinely unavailable most of the times, while I’m just obviously faking it and because of faking it sometimes we barely talk for days. The crazy thing is that, somehow, we’ve stayed together in this extreme long distance relationship for 5 months and we’re going to see each other in just 2 weeks (but it’s only going to be for 3 weeks since I have to go back to Florida to get my degree). The truth is I’ve been incredibly depressed throughout the whole long distance thing and I’ve tried it all to make her be more attracted to me. I bought all kinds of products from the internet and they SUCKED. Until I bought the Shogun Method and things seemed to get better for a while, but now she’s back again taking long hours to answer and just like putting me at the end of her priorities list. I used fractionation on my texts, today we spoke on the phone and I told her a few great histories with the rollercoaster technique but still…I’m clearly not her main priority, and man, I’m honestly depressed because I’m not having a great time studying in Florida neither. Every time things start to get better she gets all bitchy again. I know I should just breakup with her but I love her so deeply that I just quite simply don’t want to, and I also feel that now that we’re going to be in the same time zone it’ll be better.
    I have 3 questions:
    Is it normal that she keeps on getting on this “ignoring bitch mood” from time to time, or is she just not attracted?
    Do you think that once we see each other I should try the black rose sequence on her (obviously after building some rapport and attraction)?
    If so…do you think the black rose sequence can turn my luck around with this girl?
    Please man, I really NEED to get some answers from somebody so if you see this message PLEASE answer, I know I’m sounding extremely desperate but it’s because you’re my last hope.
    Thanks for your time,
    Andres

      Answers to your three questions:

      1. Yes. I doubt that she’s “not attracted” given that she has gone through so much with you.
      2. Yes, face-to-face is the best when it comes to delivering the Black Rose.
      3. Yes, use the Black Rose on her and you’ll see her drama come to a grinding halt.

    Hello Derek,
    My name is Felix, I have honestly been successful in most things in life except for getting attractive women. I have been in love with my best-friend for the past 6 years and after we came back from Cancun and she posted no pictures of us together, I realized i have a huge problem.
    We initially met when i was 26 and she was 18. At first age and maturity was an issue. We tried to date but i really felt like we did because she was in that “date everybody” mode as a young woman. We just became good friends after. Every once in a while we would get romantic. And she would say things like “you are my everything”, “wait for me to figure this stuff out”, “I love you” and things like that. But we have not been romantic since I moved away for work 3 years ago. She has matured a lot. Still “dates” awful terrible guys.

    I have tried the IRAE on women near me and I am shocked how well it works. My issues are. 1, she lives states away. 2 She is not great at responding to my texts and those combined with me being just “too nice” to her for years. I am not really sure how to start to build intrigue in a person who has me deep deep in the friend zone. What do I do?

    Thanks

    Hi Derek,

    I asked you before about trying to make my friend’s sister all for me. I’ve talked to her on and off during which I told her stories of me while I was trying to fractionate. She would laugh and smile a little but wouldnt really seem interested in extending the conversations. Because of that, I sort of ran out of things to talk about with her. And as of lately, she doesnt even really so much as look at me anymore. A couple of days ago when I went over to my friend’s house, I unexpectedly saw her facetiming a guy from afar. I am worried that may be her boyfriend. What should I do. Should I start again from intrigue and work my way through the IRAE model while using dark rapport? And if I do that , would I also need to use boyfriend destroyer system or would a few sequences like dream guy, perfect boyfriend, and boyfriend smasher (from shogun sequence handbook) do the trick?

      Sumedh: one thing at a time. You’ll have to stick to the IRAE Model as your core strategy. Think of the Shogun Sequences as tactics that you fit into the overall IRAE strategy. Which IRAE stage are you at right now?

      If you can be certain that her boyfriend is the problem, then by all means prioritize Boyfriend Destroyer over the rest.

        I thought I was in rapport because we talk about random stuff once in a while like cooking and movies but Im worried I have built contexual rapport and her interest in talking to me also seemed to have waned. should I move straight into dark rapport tactics or restart from intrigue before moving to dark rapport? And at what stage is it best to use the boyfriend destroyer system. My last question is that if a girl already seems to be attracted to you through eye contact, body language, and what she says, could you technically move straight into enslavement?

          If it hasn’t been long, try restarting from Intrigue. If she’s still not receptive, use Dark Rapport methods. Boyfriend Destroyers can be used any time after Intrigue, ideally during Attraction. No, never jump straight to Enslavement because you won’t have begun the hypnotic process.

    hi derek,
    2 weeks ago, a was on a business trip where a young collegue approched me and started seducing me.
    at first, i was focused on other things and didn’t give her much attention even though i felt attracted to her.
    that evening we went for a drink and then for dinner where i pulled out my traditional seduction game (i didn’t have the shogun method yet but always had an interest in manipulation technics including mentalism and NLP).
    everything went great, i didn’t do much but just let her seduce herself for me.
    then she started telling me this story why we couldn’t do anything more because she was currently the mistress of another guy whose divorcing for her.
    however she was blushing, hot, like in trance and demonstrating so many signs of attraction to me that i made the fatal mistake of “helping her” and decided to go to the toilets instead of taking the elevator with her back to “her” room.
    to be honest i don’t know if i did see out of overconfidence thinking she would eventually come to my room or if i just wanted to repect her thing with the other guy.
    anyway this was a huge mistake that i regret because nothing happened that night and i painfully realised to late that i missed my endpoint , sex!
    i knew that i would meet her on another trip one week later, so i decided to not fall in the friendzone by actually friendzoning her and get better on my mind control skills by buying the shogun method (best purchase i’ve made in a long time, thank you derek!).
    on this new trip i had only a small window to be with her (one morning from 10 am to 1pm).
    therefor i set my endpoint to kissing her.
    i used as many mental tricks i learned from you as possible, and probably quite clumsily, but it worked anyway and we started by holding hands sensually, then walked together grabbing each other by the waist and i eventually kissed her.
    my problem here is that she never abandoned herself to me, i managed to get what i wanted but she was always resisting, i even saw some sadness in her eyes when we started touching hands.
    it was as if she was telling me “i can’t resist you, but it saddens me because i don’t wanna be this person who cheats on her boyfriend”.
    so my question, derek, is to know if this is as far as the sogun method could have got me on this experience? or would a seasoned shogun practioner have managed to get this women to abandon herself completely to him?
    and do you have any advices or criticism that could be useful to me on my quest to become a seducer.
    note: going to the enslavement phase with this women was not an option as i didn’t intend to go in a relationship with her and would have hurt her.

      Vincent, you seduced a younger colleague of yours in the middle of the day. On a business trip. In three hours. That’s pretty damn good! Given the circumstances, that’s as far as you could realistically go, so be proud. Keep up the good work!

    1. Derek, I am trying to use Sock Puppet on the Shogun Sequence Handbook, is it possible to use through whatsapp, I just think of possibility that she won’t believe me as a friend If I used it on whatsapp or such texting apps.

    2. I heard Red Tulip Sequence was only available for the one who bought Shogun Sequence Handbook as soon as it was released, but is there any possibility for the sequence to be released in future to be purchased ?

    Wassup Derek I have two small problems that I hope you can shed some light on.

    Ok so I’ve been doing crazy amounts of day game for the last couple of days. I’ve been hitting up malls, supermarkets, bookstores and coffee shops. The only thing is it can get pretty boring going to the same places. Just because it’s not always guaranteed that good looking chicks will be there. But anyways when I’m on the bus heading towards the mall I pass a college campus, and there’s Always good looking chicks getting on the bus from there. It’s kinda natural for me to start a conversation on the bus because I feel as though there is some context. So my question could I day game at a college campus? I don’t know why but It kinda seems weird walking around a college trying to pick up chicks. Also I feel like they would want to know why I’m there because I’m not even in college yet so they definitely won’t recognize me. So do you think it’s a good Idea gaming at a college or should I just avoid it?

    Alright so this isn’t really about me, it’s for my older brother. He’s 35 makes good money and he’s definitely the good looking sibling lol. BUT he sucks ass when it comes to women I noticed it last week when I invited some girls I met at McDonald’s to a movie and eventually dinner afterwards one of them flaked when they found out I wasn’t paying so I invited my brother to kinda fill in the gap but the ratio was still 4:2 but anyways during the movie it wasn’t to much conversation just a couple of jokes so it was kinda hard for me to recognize his skill level during that time so after the movie is over my brother took me to the bathroom and told me the girl he wanted to target and also told me how beautiful she was and how great her smile is a red flag should have went off but I thought nothing of it fastfoward to the dinner we are all at a table and I’m basically doing all of the work sub plots, intrigue pings , conversational hooks, entice &repel the whole nine yards my brother was kinda being forgotten so I started to tell cool stories about him to get some of the focus off me and he starts bragging about his job his money he just makes himself look like an insecure prick anyway as the dinner goes on he starts to compliment his target he made some creepy sexual jokes and he even offered to buy her more food after she politely declined after a while she basically turns to her friends to save her they come up with some lame ass excuse to leave an uber is called and they left while they are in the car they sent me a message saying “can we do this again sometime but without the other dude he’s a creep”. I didn’t show him the message though anyway we were in his car and ofc I’m mad but I didn’t yell at him I just said dude you gotta get some dating advice I did and it has helped me and he gets mad saying I’m not going to take advice from someone half my age I ignored him and took his phone while he was driving and signed him up on your email list later that night he calls me angrily yelling at me saying he does not need my help. So Derek this is obviously an ego thing with him, how can I bring it down so he can get the help he needs? I don’t want to him to screw me up again because of his blue-pill dating skills.

    P.S. I didn’t violate a precondition I just signed him up for your email, but he unsubscribed. The shogun method or any of it’s techniques were never mentioned.

      “Are you of college age? If so, it’s worth a try. If not, avoid. Otherwise you’ll end up looking creepy.

      Unfortunately, you can’t control another person’s actions. It’s clear you care for your brother deeply, but it’s up to him to learn from his own mistakes and apply himself differently. You’ve done everything within your power to help him, therefore, there’s nothing else you can do. When you hook up successfully with a girl you’re pursuing, your brother begin to see that you know more than he does. This will be enough to change his mindset. Anyway, you’re doing great. Keep up the good work.”

      Eliciting her values means understanding exactly what she’s looking for. Does she just want sex, or is she looking for something more? What does she want? Once you’ve established this, it allows you to become the ideal man she wants.

    Hey Derek, or anyone else for that matter, I need help.

    I broke up with my ex girlfriend about 8 months ago when the relationship was about to go long distance. Since then I’ve realized that that was a huge mistake and I want to try and win her back.

    The current situation is as follows. I started running the IRAE Model on her a few days ago, right now we’re in Rapport. She has a boyfriend who she seems attached to. I live in Canada and she lives in Europe, therefore all communication is over text at the moment. She is visiting Canada alone late April for a bit, I assume this is the ideal time to move to the Attraction phase and implement Boyfriend Destroyers.

    My questions for you are as follows. When/how can I transition to the Attraction phase without triggering her defenses? When/how should I implement Boyfriend Destroyers in this situation?

    Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions. Obviously Derek is a very busy guy so if there’s anyone else here who would be willing to provide advise or ongoing support for my situation, please send me an email at jboileau55@gmail.com

      Hi Jeremy. I would advise transitioning into Attraction and then implementing Boyfriend Destroyers once you’ve reached this stage. If she’s willingly engaging with you despite having a boyfriend, I wouldn’t be too concerned about setting off her defenses. In order to get you through the next two months, my Texting On Steroids 2.0 program would benefit you as it lays out what to say and what NOT to say over text.

        I feel like it is important to note that a women doesn’t have any control over her unconscious desires as long as they remain unconscious programs. To some degree, if she recognized the pattern and did a ton of personal cognitive reworking, basically conditioning herself to go after the guy of her dreams, then her mental program would be rewritten and she would naturally fall in the love with the Harvard guy. But she didn’t do that. She made a silly conscious request that reinforced her denial of what she wanted and thus the desires remained the same.
        What do you think? Is it possible for a woman to condition herself to fall in love with a secure partner?

          In most cases, women are slaves to their unconscious desires. They can indeed become aware and display certain degrees of self-control, but it’s quite rare to see – especially if you know what buttons to push.

    Derek,

    I have been through most of the course and am finding it hard to apply the techniques to my situation. I have been married for 10 years and last year my wife told me she isn’t in love with me any more. We have two children which always complicates things. I am still deeply in love with my wife, but she is quite head strong and has decided not to love me any more and wants to move on. I want her back and I want her to want me too.

    More background, after the birth of our second child I became quite depressed, I thought I was just very tired (which I was), but I would say horrible things that I didn’t mean as a release, and I thought she understood this, but she didn’t and thought I seriously thought it, I tried to get help and it did a little, but not enough, only when she told me that she didn’t love me any more did I finally get the help I needed and am now through the depression and my friends and family commented as such. However, she doesn’t want to even consider the idea of falling in love with me again. She seems to feel uncomfortable when it is just her and me. We are currently sleeping in separate bedrooms and try to spend the evenings when the kids are in bed apart.

    I should point our that I am not good with people, my brain seems to think one thing and the words come out as I plan, but people take it the wrong way. So I really need your help with this.

    Thanks.

      Hi Scott, I’m afraid you may need to seek other sources of help in regards to your mental health issues, however, when it comes to rekindling that fire with your wife, it seems your previous behaviour has made her see you differently. The best way to approach this would be to make her see you’re a new person. Consider checking out my Alpha Male Activator to appear more confident and at ease with yourself. Furthermore, there is an updated version of ReSeduction coming out in a few weeks which should really help your situation.

    Ever since I discovered this project my point of view has really changed. 1 year ago, I was very scared about talking to girls.
    And now it’s like a chess game.

    The shogun method is a very fun thing to learn (you don’t get laid at the end of an algebra test, right?) And I hope that someday I will be able to contribute to this project.

    Derek, after you’ve done the whole method . But afterwards because of life you have a long distance relationship for a while, would it be wise or would it be counter productive to use the Prophesy Segregation tactic over a phone call ? This is of course just to be safe. So that there would be no ” Accidents/Straying ” or ” Stealing ” while I’m gone, for a few months.

    The most important matter in this situation is that intrigue is kept right?
    What would be the best way? Tell intrigue stories over the phone? Conversation hooks over texts? Yes, the other person does initiate texts. We’re in month 2.

    enslavement was already made, but still, 5 months is a long time. As you said in the booklet, this tactic can work as vaccination from attempts by other people to steal.

    If the original words used in the tactic do not fit my situation, can you perhaps tell me a version that could fit my situation ? The situation as you know that we are apart for 5 months, the other person hasn’t suggested that they want to stray.

    I really respect your teachings, your philosophy has helped me to really understand human nature, therefore helping me to get much closer to someone I’ve come to treasure, not just in a sexual tense. But as you know, treasuring someone or loving them “Properly” is indeed hard work.

    Please invite me to Beyond Enslavement and would there be other Enslavement parts being release in the next few years ?

      It sounds like you’ve performed a very thorough Enslavement, so great work there. Unfortunately, Enslavement tactics (like Segregation) won’t work over the phone. The best way to ensure she doesn’t stray is to, like you say, use Intrigue techniques. Intrigue Stories via text or phone will be all you need. Yes, there will be some other Enslavement add-ons coming in the next few years.

        Reply Reply April 26, 2018

        You know, I’m somewhat confused about your comment on the enslavement part. Enslavement was done, but having said that, it is only logical that the other person would act in this way correct ?

        Did you mean that in a general sense, enslavement shouldn’t have this much affect ? Or did you mean that most people that try this, don’t do it very thoroughly ? After all you did mention in the booklet that the effect is ” for life ” and that it can’t be “undone”.
        So, naturally I was under the impression that, you know, this is the real deal, Heavy mind control sort of thing. But it can’t possibly be the real deal if you are implying that the effect is generally forgotten in a few months if you don’t maintain contact.

        I don’t want you to misunderstand me, I am your supporter and on your side. But I also understand that you are running a business here. And that it would in fact be favorable for you release your products in a piece-by-piece basis. But I also felt that you were different from the millions of other people selling their products on the internet, I watched your intro video and I felt like you cared, basically.

        So basically my second question to you is that, about the enslavement add-ons you were talking about. Are they an extension of the Black rose sequence/enslavement ? Meaning you intentionally broke up this enslavement stage into different parts, without giving the full product. Or is it something that was newly developed? And is it another different product on the similar vein to the black rose sequence or is it something to reinforce the black rose sequence ? The black rose sequence in the booklet does hold its full weight on its own , like you said right ?

        Excuse me if my message comes across to you as a bit edgy, but my intentions are anything but. I support what you do.

          Jack: theoretically it’s set for life when done properly – and the key word here is “properly”. Too many guys think that they can “recite” the Black Rose and think it’s done. In fact, some think that they can just text the Black Rose to a woman think that she’s now enslaved to them!

          Think of the Black Rose as vaccination – you will be immune to the disease if (AND ONLY IF) you receive the FULL dose in the first place. And certain vaccines have boosters administered over time to keep the antibodies present – not everyone needs this, but it will address those who have somewhat fallen through the cracks (i.e. insufficient dosage, unique health conditions, etc).

          Bottom line:

          1. Everyone’s mileage with the Black Rose varies. It depends primarily on how well you execute it, and secondarily, on how receptive the woman is to the Black Rose. Lots of variables there.
          2. You’ll need “boosters” over time just in case she lapses from Enslavement.

          Hope that clears things up.

          On the second question: those are new “boosters” that we have come up with in the Insider’s Lab. The original Black Rose is in its entirely, and never been broken up.

          Great question!

    Derek,
    So my girlfriend was hitting me with the “I don’t feel the same anymore” “I don’t know if I want this.” This all came out of no where. We were doing well together and actually about to move in together. The moving in was more on her part as she was looking at places and contacting them to visit the place. Anyways one night i stumbled upon some of her texts messages while working on her computer. She was talking to her friends about showing her boobs at her job for money. She was a beer cart worker for a golf course. I was sick when I saw this so I brought it up to her. She didn’t know how to react and was caught. She told me stories before of people doing that there but never her. She apologized for the lie. I kept a little distance from her for like 2 days then planned to hang out with her again. She was very distant and didn’t really want to be around me. Her friends boyfriend messaged me and was saying that my girlfriend was talking bad about me to everyone, saying she didnt want to be with me. I didn’t really want to confront her on this because of how she was acting. As time went on she was becoming more distant until she finally said it to me. She texted me saying she didn’t want to be together anymore. I was crushed and devastated. I panicked and was asking her to meet up. She eventually stop responding to me and went out with her friends. The next day I still tried to talk to her which eventually she agreed to meet with me and talk. The talk went really well and she even said she didn’t want to be done with me nor give up on me. We agreed to take things slow. For the next two days she barley said a word to me which made me panic. Then finally she text me saying she couldn’t do it anymore. That she only said those things to me to make me feel better and she didn’t want to hurt me. She said she was embarrassed of her actions at the golf course. I texted back pleading trying to convince her that everything would be ok but it wasnt enough to make her stay. I finally just gave up and said that if this is what she wants and will make her happy I would let go. She replied back as if a friend would. It didnt even sound like the person I was in love with. I didn’t know this person.
    I went a week without talking to her and I bought the ReSeduction 2.0 and realized i needed to contact her and tell her i was ok with the break up and that it was a good decision. Before i could do that she showed up at the gym I worked out at. She new I went everyday at the same time. She has only been to that gym about 5 times since ive known her. It threw me off and I started to think that maybe she came to see me and missed me. Since the break up I acted like it didnt affect me and went out and showed this by posting pics of what i was doing. We were standing by each other at the gym and I couldn’t just not say anything and make it weird so I kept it light and asked what she was doing here in a laughing/kind tone. It ended with her asking me what I was doing there and i replied back with “you know i come here everday at this time.” We both just walked away after that. So i thought that seeing her was the perfect opportunity to hit her Validation stage. I texted her late that night when i knew she would be in bed alone and said it was nice seeing her and thanking her for her decision to break up, that it made me come out of my shell and become the person ive wanted to be. then i followed up with the leading message which was pretty identical to the one in the book. her response was hurtful. She responded as if we were best friends. saying that she is happy for me, she was happy that the absence from her was what i needed in my life. That it reassures her that she made the right decision. Her response to the leading message hurt because she was saying that she was doing the same, getting out there more and out of her comfort zone. I didnt reply back but then like 15 min later she double texted me saying that she has some of my belongings still and asked if i had any of hers. I never replied to her message. This was all last night. Later that night i noticed she created a profile on a dating site and then also followed two other guys on social media. Was this her way of getting under my skin? I know my next step is the confirmation stage but when do i do this? how long do i wait since i just used the validation technique? Im just worried because what if i messed up, what if she was actually starting to come back and miss me and she was showing that by coming to the gym? I really want to trust this process but i dont want to mess up and lose her. I know the next step i must accidentally send her a message that wasnt meant for her and then start an argument but i dont want that to push her to the edge to where she will just hook up with anyone to get back at me. Am I in a good spot right now or have i messed up anywhere?

      Sorry to hear of your situation, Tom, but it sounds like you did everything right. Her showing up at the gym and following other guys on social media is her way of trying to make you jealous. You did the right thing by not rising to it. Begin the Confirmation stage as soon as you get this message, then keep me updated. It sounds like she still wants you back, so stay positive.

    Hey Derek,
    So I’m not sure what stage of the Shogun Method I’m starting at with the girl I want. She and I have been friends for four years, and she trusts me with her career decisions, lets me write major stuff for her to deliver (she does a lot of speaking gigs), and sometimes even turns over her social media. What’s more, she’s said she’s attracted to intelligence and I’m the most brilliant guy she’s ever met. She even sent strong signals that despite us being long distance, she wanted to visit me as much as possible, and I was the first guy to know when she left her boyfriend.

    However, when I asked her out at the tail end of last month, she told me she wasn’t in any position to be in a relationship because something really horrible had happened to her recently (I confirmed this was true with her friends) and she’s too traumatized, BUT that it wasn’t a never and she could see us dating in the future once she stops going through what she’s going through. She let me hold her while she cried, and I even talked her through her complicated feelings. Then, after she went home, she cut contact for a month, during which time I did NOT respond well — way too much texting and desperation. But then, once we started talking again, she sent me a pic of her underwear, ostensibly to show a “bruise” she’d gotten while traveling. Nevertheless, her contact with me has been irregular at best, probably because she’s busy and prefers calls and face-to-face interactions to texting, but probably also because I’ve overdone it messaging her because I got anxious.

    I feel like when we do talk, the intrigue is still very much there, but the rapport has suffered a lot, even though my friends who’ve looked at our conversations have said she shows the signs of being attracted, but not knowing how to handle it. I don’t know if I’m in the friend zone, or if my asking her pushed her to think of me differently, but either way I’ve cut contact with her entirely for the past couple days so that she can have time to miss me. But once she does, I’m not sure where I should start from. Again, intrigue feels safe, and we have a project to work on together, which is when she gets to see the parts of me she likes the best (creativity, brains). I am highly creative and capable of coming up with good stories and fractionation techniques on my own, but I’m just not sure what to do. What’s your read on the situation?

      Tough one, MH. It sounds like she initially developed feelings for you, then backed off when things got too real. I don’t think you’re Friend Zoned, because professional barriers usually have a way of keeping that at bay. I would advise beginning at Intrigue, but try and keep her there for longer than you did previously. Hammer the Intrigue hard until you can speed through Rapport into Attraction. If you progress to Rapport too fast, you might find yourself stuck there a while, and that’s when things get hazy.

      The process should be Intrigue Ping > Intrigue Story > Rapport. Shogun Sequences are optional, you don’t need to do them if you don’t deem it necessary. Once natural conversation begins, you’re in the Rapport stage.

    Hi Derek,
    This isn’t a question, per se, and is more a biography and ultimately, a huge thank you.

    I have always been a good talker, or so i have been told, at least once I get past the initial meeting stage (which has always been really hard for me). Later in life (I am 48 right now), I discovered the PUA community and quickly got hooked. I bought several e-books, and a few of the techniques worked, and most were already dated, outed, or worthless to begin with, but it solved some of my approach anxiety and gave me an idea of how to proceed, though vaguely.

    I met and married the woman of my dreams, and flash forward to a few months ago, my marriage, once a whirlwind romance full of promise and love, was falling apart and seemed beyond hope of reconciliation.

    Then I stumbled across the Shogun Method.

    I quickly bought and digested the program, but I will admit, some of it was above my head. Some of it I recognized as things I had done almost my entire life, though without fully understanding it and in a somewhat scattershot approach. I persevered though, and pushed on.

    Next came Resuduction 2.0. Given my current status of impending doom (divorce), I quickly bought and digested it. I followed the rules and format, and after going through the shogun method, it was easy to understand, and I started to see immediate results.

    Next came the Alpha Activator program. Again, I immediately saw results in my own inner game and self worth, and while following the steps in resuduction with my wife, started using new found confidence and started practicing shogun principles on anyone I would meet (with the only intention being of making new friends and people while waiting to see the results of resuduction through). I have since become interested in binaural entrainment and am a complete believer and now practitioner of it with spectacular results so far.

    A few other of your programs and bonus materials were read and thoroughly digested and put into use with really good results.

    Then came the lightning bolt from heaven: the manipulation black book. I bought it, figuring the price was right and everything else I had purchased from your systems had been useful, actionable, and most importantl, extremely effective up to that point.

    The manipulation black book though, THAT, for me, tied it all together and suddenly, I completely understood why the shogun method and every other product of yours I had thus far purchased worked. In four short days, I have practiced the technique in that book and it has worked flawlessly every time. Not “most” of the time. EVERY TIME!

    I have become a holy terror (though completely undetectable) of a manipulator for love, work, and personal gain. Thank god I have good morals, and thank you for steering your clients in the right direction morally, as well.

    Overall, I am a better, more complet, knowledgeable and successful man because of you. I can navigate the dating field if I ever have to or want to. I am enjoying a better, more socially rewarding life, and I am also making a difference in the lives of my fellow man. All because of your hard work.

    Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I will forever be indebted to you, and will always be a Derek Rake disciple.

    Hi Derek
    i need ur help because im a lil confused about my current situation so it’s about my ex just to get that point across first.

    so we broke up about a month and some change ago and we started talking recently, already ran some sequences on her from the rapport stage and i feel like the one that truly got her was “you don’t know how long someone(me) could be here for u so grab ahold of them now” she acted a lil confused asking me to explain it, i kindly repel her allwhile keeping the convo going fun and i got a call in the next 5 min and guess who it was all giggly and couldnt even pronounce words right on the phone 😉 still didn’t explain it cuz i feel like it would add more fire power if i left it as a mystery and its only later on im realizing it was her emotions talking. next day called her had a nice lil convo, subtly pointed out i had sides and she picked that up quicker than lightning and i repelled her by saying “after we get off the phone dont txt me cuz i dont wanna be smiling like this for a while” and guess who txted me right after the phone call 🙂
    and i skipped one day of tlkin to her and tried the next day and she was being dry and even told me she’s not in the mood to talk to me” i was offended a lil cuz no girl ever said that to me before so instead of acting out on emotions i just said i understand how she feels and basicaly dont wanna bother her and she said she’d txt me l8er, got a txt around 2am saying “sorry didnt txt earlier i just got home have a gn” and i said gn talk to you in a bit but i havent hit her up for couple days now cuz i dont wanna get on that bitchy side of her
    what should i do?
    am i being too nice?
    did i making a wrong step i shouldnt have?

      Her saying “I just got home” at 2am is her way of trying to make you jealous. Don’t fall for it. You’re doing great work by freezing her out, so keep it up. Wait until she messages you, then Repel her. Following that, continue from the Attraction stage.

    Hi Derek,

    I having had really good stories lately. So today I was hiking, near the parking, and girl walked up besides and started talking. I noticed she had a dog, and so play some puppy-love stuff. I got here laughing when she told me, well…it is nothing. Oh, you mean a mutt? She broke up. So I figured she was a bit infatuted with bit. So I asked there standard names, what do you do, are you student? BINGO. She is a student, and was also in the Navy as was I. And, she did the same job I did in the navy. I told her about my mutt. And she was here, from my hometown, and we talked about about this city is, how the drugs are, etc. I figured out i would fractionation now. So I play a girl friend of mine (true story) who died of a heroin overdose. Just in the tv show Breaking Bad. (that is where I found a good fractionation story, related to my own experiences. After that, she talks all the time, so I decided let her talk. I got a amazing display of inflexion. I was her touching and her talked and I mirrored her. She said….oh, that is amazing……then a few seconds later I said, ….oh that is amazing……then she said right to me back, oh that is amazing…..then I pattern the oh that is amazing…. and she was cracking up. I don’t exactly what happened, I think was a good thing for me. I had just looking at the mountains, and she kept my attention, and kept talking to me. So she was get ready to leave, and I asked hey, you want I am going hiking? Oh, great….so she followed me to that place. I showed here the place, so I said, hey we get hooked up and go Yes. When do you go. So we arranged a few meetings. She started walking away, and she said ….. BE SAFE. I said, OH I PROBABLY WON”T BE SAFE. She was walking away laughing.
    That how the dark rake method/tactics work. SO I just do a fraction and play every else from my subconsicious. So I used started with questions (as in the dark rake method book) and then fractionation. I figured I got good rapport, and I can start tp grow this relationship.
    I like her right away. I didn’t really do anything. It just worked.

    I need a litle help from you.
    So im intrested in this one girl have known for one and a half jears now.
    I landed in the frienzone of course.
    Since then i had up and downs with her.
    a few days ago i watched a movie with her and a other friend of mine that sche also knows a long time. So i noticed how she always went close to me and rested on my lap and shoulders leaving a big gap wetween her and my other friend but thats literly every time she always wants to stay close to me but i don’t know how i should move on from that point. But last knigt I and a few friends of mine including her went out on a party. Where she met this guy again that is pretty intrested in her, i saw them make out on every party they have met the last few times but he is a complete douchebag. She never wants to talk personal stuff with him and that pisses him of that he becomes a litle rude some times. They have met sober bevor to go and get ice creame, but she still didn’t want to talk to him about personal stuff. So he sent her a massage saying whats wrong with you you only wanted free ice creame and dumm sh*t like that. So she was prety mad at him and she wanted nothing to do with him again, exept last knight they made out again. But i don’t worry about him to much becouse he is going to ruin every thing again.
    But i want to know if you have any tips for me how i can get her when i have known her for so long,

    I may have a little problem here, there is this girl that i really like but she knows that i got a girlfriend. She would always calls me her best friend because of my girlfriend (which she doesn’t know her personally) whenever we are getting close or something. I have been building rapport for quite some time and even tried attracting her from what i learn from the attraction stage. She would often agree on hanging out with me alone and she seems attracted to me. However, she doesn’t seem to be attracted enough to want to sleep with me or sorts. I know its bad for me to attract another girl while i still have my girlfriend around but she is really attractive and i would like to have a chance to sleep with her at least once.

    Thank you

      It’s probably due to the fact you’re not single that she won’t take the plunge. You’ll need to really hone your Attraction techniques if you want to escalate with this new girl, but from a moral standpoint you should probably make a decision regarding who you’d rather be with.

She left fore the other guy who was married with kids story.. she moved to another town that’s not to far away and my only contact is trough texting on FB. And the very occasionall phone call. And number into while she’s working.Ihave a small window to get this right. And get her back but willing to play the long game to enslavement. She’s been kinda upset with me because her boyfriend is intimated by me and so she’s protective of him . Also in the divorce she lost it all. And I already owned everything else before we got married so what other program our what module should I start in to begin this process.and after enslavement what maintenance must you do to keep what you’ve earned. Some thing I know about her is she has a low self esteem very low and she always wants somebody to take control of her life. So I see the open door but can’t just come barging through it so your help would be appreciated.

To get her back, you’ll need to consult my ReSeduction 2.0 program. The final stage of the ReSeduction process is a form of Enslavement, so this will suit you perfectly.

    Hello Derek,
    Last week I met someone and now i’m into her. We met again a couple of days ago, and she showed signs of interest and rapport (im entering the attraction phase, and im an excellent rapport builder, since I am an NLP therapist.)
    However – she isnt quite a talker at all. For example – I ask her:”What did you like most in this music piece?” And she would respond:”Its calm. What did you like about it?”. She reflects my questions back at me and it drives me crazy (although I dont show it), mainly since the attration phase is going to be a REALLY hard one because of that (maybe she is reading PUA stuff? Idk)

    What do you think I should do in the ‘a’ phase?

    And another question, just trying to defy the limits of the shogun method….
    Does it work on women with Asperger?

        Ok, i’ve thought about it for now and then, and i decided to go on using a Barnum statements sequence to create rapport with her

        I have another question:
        I see what other people are capable of in this program (like David Sanderson, whose work I ADMIRE)
        How can i get there? I mean… the programs contain some very complex speech patterns (such as the Implanted Commands, who are tricky to weave into a conversation) and ideas…
        I have time to practice. I have the potential to practice.
        But every time i’m about to close the door and head towards the local cafe, i don’t know where to start…

        I’m socked by the amount of ways to execute each principle inside the shogun method… what do you suggest me to begin with?

        My goal is getting to that level in which implanting commands becomes a second nature for me, and I can come up with sequences at ease and understand the principles behind them.

        oh, and I’d be glad to recieve some suggestions from other students that implemented the method and learned it

        Thanks a lot!

          Experience is always the best teacher, Harry. Sure, you can practice your scripts and delivery over and over again when you’re alone, but if you want to see results, you need to get out there and put these techniques into practice. Advanced SM users only reached that level by heading to the local cafe and striking up real conversations with real women.

          Always start with an Intrigue Ping. They’re straightforward, easy to memorize and they will always elicit a response. Something a lot of new Shogun Method users don’t realize is that natural conversation is perfectly fine to use as filler between each technique, so don’t be afraid to just talk on general terms with her if you’re still getting to grips with the process.

          Harry,

          Greetings from another Shogun Student. The first thing you have to do is STOP worrying about anything other than the first step. Go out and practice Intrigue a few times with a few women and watch the reactions. then, just have a nice chat and move on.

          When you are comfortable with Intrigue, then go through the Rapport section again and go out, use an Intrigue ping to open, and work Rapport. Have a nice conversation and move on.

          Do this repeatedly and progressively, until you are comfortable using the techniques. it is absolutely fine to do this with a woman you practiced the Intrigue on in the first set of exercises. In fact, it can be preferable. But, even if you talked to her in the first trial runs, start from Intrigue again each time.

          Once comfortable with that, read up on Attract, then do it again. Again, it is fine to preferable to talk to the same ladies you practiced on before. By doing it in small chunks, it wont be anywhere near as daunting and you will learn more. Remember, always watch for the reaction. try to read them as this is also a skill you are going to need.

          Reading the program ahead is good. but, when you are first trying to use the methods, small steps until you are comfortable. The more you do it, the faster you will progress and the more you will learn each time.

          I never thought I had a problem picking up women. I have had many. But, since I joined Shogun Method, my success percentages have gotten pretty insane. So I have slowed WAY down and become a lot more choosy.

          I live down in southern Mexico and tourist season is about to explode for the year. THIS is going to be great! I will post reports.

        I guess that’s a good thing. But now I also have a few other questions, and they relate to the email I sent when I was still debating whether or not to buy this program.

        1. You mentioned that the girl’s sister-in-law is irrelevant. I wonder how this could be the case as, remember that, if this goes wrong, I could end up facing legal consequences brought forth by them. I have come to understand that this girl has no idea what she really wants, hence the sister-in-law’s anti-dating policy, but would executing the Shogun Method on the girl of my dreams not only make her mine but also make it so those over-authoritative relatives of hers have no choice but to give up and let us be together?

        2. The girl in question has a lot of comorades that are against her dating me and who would see to it that I have no choice but to not re-acquire her (I have been rejected multiple times by her for what seems to be no apparent reason)– or to try and re-acquire her, anyway. However, I think this is only because she currently wants nothing to do with me. If I execute the Shogun Method properly and re-acquire her as a result, would that effectively destroy the seemingly indestructible web of confusion she has spun?

        3. Last but not least: I need to talk to the girl alone in this PR environment where that is not so easily done in order for the Shogun Method to work in my situation, since otherwise I’d get stopped in my tracks. However, when I ask to see her in private (i.e. one-on-one), she runs off to an undisclosed secret hiding place somewhere nearby that only she knows the location of. How can I get her to not run off and actually speak with me so I can attempt to carry out the IRAE model succesffully?

        Any input, be it positive or negative, would be greatly appreciated.

          1 – Yes, that’s what I mean. Don’t concern yourself with her sister in law. Once you’ve successfully Enslaved this girl, the sister in law won’t be a factor.

          2 – Yes. If her friends don’t approve of her dating you, that’s their problem, not yours. Don’t concern yourself with it. It will only hinder your progress.

          3 – Don’t ask to see her in private because that’s an immediate red flag. Just go up to her when she’s on her own and do it right then and there.

          George, in answer to your last two posts. First, I have run the IRA portion in about 20 minutes repeatedly. The E stage is a little different. You have to isolate the target and that’s not likely to happen in 20 minutes. But, if you run the first three stages successfully, it will no longer be out of the question to isolate the target. Trying to get them alone before it is time makes you look creepy.

          I run sequences all the time with their friends right there. hell, I have run some sequences with boyfriends present. In practice, it just looks like a conversation. The magic is that it is pretty much undetectable what you are doing. it is just words.

    Hi Derek! What could I do if through VCRD, in the Confirmation phase, she doesn’t text me back to my “set the bait” text? I’ll explain it better: I followed through the procedure, I asked her a thing and she answered. I pretended to have made a mistake by sending her the text (it was for another woman). Then, I asked her to just ignore my last message thanking her for her previous answer. She doesn’t text me back, then I can’t start the fight in the escalate phase. Where I’m going next?

    Derek, you asked for my story. I decided to make it short because a whole lot of it is already posted in the main areas, the forums for modules 4, 5, 6 and 7. If people want details, they can be found there. But, you asked, so here is my statement for all to see. You (Derek) have already read my other posts.

    I am pushing 60. I have been a lot of places and done a lot of things. I have had a lot of women. But since starting to practice “Shogun Method™” my percentages have gone through the roof and are still climbing. I just posted in Module 6 (attraction) about my half ass-ed attempt last night to take home a woman. The host was quite happy when I invited her to the party. When we left, he pulled me aside and asked me what the hell had just happened. You see, we live in a small town and he has been after her for quite awhile.

    I am becoming a freaking legend in this town since “Shogun Method™” became my thing. I was well respected prior to that, but things are changing rapidly. The young guys will ask me my secret. NO! I don’t tell them about “Shogun Method™” I say things like I have a secret weapon! (with a knowing smile, laying on the mystery) and so on. I see them watching me. When tourist season gets into full swing this year, I am going to have a major blast. No (legal) woman is immune, (I never tried it on San-Quentin quail and certainly never would) and there is no longer any woman too hot or out of my league.

    I did tap an 18 year old not too long ago. It was fun, LOVED that body! But it reminded me that at that age they are pretty vapid. Have run a few off, both before and after playtime. I get pickier by the day. With “Shogun Method™” in the tool box there are no longer any constraints. Just because there is a bit of snow on the rooftop, does not mean there is no fire in the cellar.

    Sure, I had to study and practice. There is a learning curve. It has gotten to the point I spot one I like and think to myself, “She isn’t that special” and pass her on by. Where a year ago, I would have made an approach just to see. That’s pretty powerful testimony right there. Even my lady tells me I like the women too much! And, she hunts for and with me. We have shared some fine ladies in the last two years, but the quality is up and the quantity is virtually as many as I want. She got pissy at one point when she realized the women we were playing with were totally in love with me. But, I got her past that.

    The hardest part of “Shogun Method™” for me, was forgetting pretty much everything I thought I knew. Hey! It was working! Or so I thought. I had quite a bit of tail, but this? HAHAHAHAHA!

    I think that constitutes a fair success story. I write about individual encounters in the forums for each chapter, but know, I only write about the juicy ones, or the difficult scores. There are others…..

    The fucked up part about “Shogun Method™” guys? I am still finding my way around the site and the different modules. Be warned, I don’t really need any more of Derek’s training. Honestly, I don’t. But I will be buying other modules just to find out what the mad genius has hidden behind the next link!

    In closing, Derek, I have said this before. But at the risk of getting told off for repeating myself, you need to run the core program price up to $200 (USD). The worthy will still come. When someone worthy asks what it is I am up too, I will continue to send them here. But, there are not that many. Maybe one in fifty. And I know they do not all come running. But, they should. Cash in hand, demanding you take their money.

        You bet. I am enjoying the hell out of the experiences that make those stories! LOL I have a backlog of women right now. Had two here at the house today. Both intending to return. Got another I am working who is really a hottie. The little lesbian girl next door it percolating nicely and high season has not even started. Looks like a KILLER year coming up.

        I don’t mind advertising something that does what it is said to do. When you find that, it is good to pass the word. Those that are actually worth guiding here get the word. If they come, great. If not? it is entirely their loss. You can lead a horse to water…..

    (Sorry if it’s a double post. I tried posting it before but it didn’t show up.)

    Derek, friendzone is fine, but what about the unfriend zone?

    I have a feeling I messed up badly. Have I fucked it up?

    “Don’t worry. I’ve forgiven you.” She’s just left my room with these words and a smile on her face.

    Nine months ago I began to chat the new intern up. She is a hottie. We had a real good rapport from day one and we went out on a date. I kissed her and she asked me what my intentions were. I told her I was a serious guy who wanted a committed relationship (FUCK! ME!)

    Summing up, she played me for 6 goddamned months: made me buy handcuffs because she was into kinky stuff, but we never used them, then she told to buy more toys (I didn’t). We only had sex once (and she was mostly indifferent).

    All the while she told of all the kinky sex adventures she’d have with other guys and that she’d have with me as well. She’d constantly sext me at work as to how she fantacized about fucking me at work, but she’d never have any time.

    The only moments she showed any kind of real interest was when I insisted on leaving. First time was when I said I’d leave her because I was interested in another girl and when I told her I’d be gone forever because she was too much of a slut for my taste.

    In both cases she told soul-crushing stories about daddy issues and physical abuse and got me back.

    But I was losing it, Derek. It got terrible in August when she said she’d found the right guy for her (rich), but that she also liked me and told me I was #2 in her heart because I made her feel safe and if he screwed up, I’d be next. I told her I needed some sort of sexual gratification to keep going or no deal. She blew me for a two minutes (she was on her period) and then stopped. I got really mad and raged at her, she accused me of being like her father and awful. Said there’d be more sex in the future if only I waited for it.

    I apologized. I felt awful.

    I began to lose it, Derek. I’m a calm and collected man. My mother has a heart condition and I was the one who took care of her when I was but 10 years old. But I began to have rage attacks. I mostly imploded, but sometimes I’d send her very mean messages (which I’d apologize for later). I started to smoke, drank little a Russian, I even began to use heavy drugs.

    The turning point was when I was having an implosion and another co-worker noticed. She asked me if I was OK and I left to avoid bursting on her. My job is sacred. Enough was enough.

    I simply started to ignore the girl and got much better. One week later I was feeling great, two weeks and I quit smoking. I’d given up on having her and was happy for it. I was allowing myself to let her go and got better.

    Then she started to chase me: “I can’t take my eyes out of you”, etcetera.

    One day she texted me: “It’s about time we met.” (She was the one who set the dates) And she sent a picture she took on our last date (I’d given her a wristband matching mine and we took a picture together). “From our last date.”

    I was scared that I would relapse and feel awful again. I didn’t really want to meet her, but I thought maybe we could still be fuck buddies.

    But there was one thing that kept bugging me: after our last argument, she said no woman would ever want me (that was one of the things that tipped me over the edge). I told that if she wanted to meet me, she’d have to apologize for that. She laughed and texted that she wouldn’t, and that I should not worry because she knew how to handle me.

    I was filled with rage. I literally googled “how to beat a woman”, trying to find the proper way to hit her without leaving a mark (she’d also constantly tell me how she liked being spanked and hurt badly, so I knew she could take it). It was then that I found your website and the article “How to beat a woman’s mind games”.

    I later calmed down and realized that physical violence was an awful idea all together (even though she’d taunt me to it). I began reading your material. I read about Fractionation and that you shouldn’t be afraid of losing a woman. I was hellbent on stopping getting played. She’d either fuck me or fuck off.

    She basically re-scheduled twice because she was busy. I was quite ‘meh’ about it, When she finally decided to show up for lunch, I met her 40 minutes late. Didn’t even apologize. Couldn’t give a fuck. I tried to fractionate her on our way to my place, but she was quite evasive. When we got home and I made the move, she backed off. I told her she could leave. “You said it’s just sex. If we don’t fuck, we don’t have anything.”

    She started to cry and said that that was why she didn’t want to have sex: because sex was important for me. I’d later feel deep rage about it (bitch had been sexting me straight for SIX FUCKING MONTHS!”). She said she changed and that she hadn’t had any sex for three weeks because she wanted to be a different person because I’d called her a whore for fucking around.

    I tole her she could leave and she asked me to wait until she got ready. She was dressing up and putting her make-up right in front of me to go to her boyfriend’s. While she dressed up I decided to go all out and fractionate with all I had. I’d go back and forth between our good moments and her lies. It was easy to be very expressive because I was tipsy from two glasses of wine.

    Half way through she just turns around and asks me if I wanted to masturbate her. I refused. It was too humiliating and I was hellbent: my way or the highway. I continued to talk. At one point I showed her a necklace I’d bought for her and she wanted to try. Told her I wanted to fuck her with it. She said no and I told her to take it off, then.

    Derek, she bawled her eyes out and BEGGED to let her have it. She’d meet me anywhere I wanted, would do whatever I wanted, if I wanted to hug her and hold hands, she’d let me, she’d let me kiss once in a while, so I shouldn’t kick her out. Told her to get on bed. She became silent. Told her to take it off. She begged me not to, so I roared at her to fucking remove it. I’d been lied for far too long. I don’t make a lot of money and wouldn’t be leeched as well. She told me she felt unsafe and took it off.

    At that point I realized I was reaching breaking point for me, I’d say I was sorry and go back to being pussywhipped. So I went outside to wait until she was ready to leave. Took her to the gate and slammed it shut after her.

    I felt a wave of happiness for getting back at her at the moment and went partying at night all night long.

    But on the next two days I felt remorse: she hadn’t fucked Mr. Right for three weeks, I hadn’t talked to her for four. What if she was changing because of me? Three days later I was apologizing, but to no avail. She said she never felt so unsafe and humiliated than when she was with me, that she felt helpless with a raging drunk. I begged her to accept me back and pointed that she was changing because of me because I was her true love. She didn’t answer and I backpedalled more and more.

    Later, at home, I realized she was playing me some more and told her to fuck off.

    Three weeks later I decided to start testing her and see what results I could get. I texted her I wouldn’t be ‘just friends’ with her because she was an awful fucking liar who’d ommitted on the very first date that had been having sex with at least six other guys (and a few girls), that she played my emotions and was an untrusty cunt. That she was a prostitute who was with the guy only for the money.

    She lashed out back. Said she felt so much disgust for me that she’d thrown up thinking about what we did. It was nasty. Summing up, It ended like this:
    Me: You’re unworthy of the cock you blew.
    Her: If I was, I’d be blowing it to this day.
    Me: You dumb bitch, read it again.
    Her: sent a video next to Mr. Right.

    I was enthralled. It was the most I’d ever gotten from her. She’d almost never show me I picture of him nor would she show me a picture of herself. I got both AND a video. She’d NEVER sent me a video. I realized being a dick got me more than being nice.

    For the next few days I’d catch her checking me out and would quickly look away when she noticed I saw her, but after a week or so she stopped and went cold.

    Then last week she went friendly, incidentally it was last week I finally saved money enough to buy the Shogun Method.

    I texted on the Sunday and said I needed to talk to her. That it was important. Coincidentally, I had some work related stuff to deal with her. So we began discussing work and I became personal talking about an old friend who’d died last week. She seemed really docile and enthralled by what I was saying and showed a lot of care. I ran two fractations sequences successfully and ended with a cliffhanger, saying that we shouldn’t be discussing this at work.

    That was on Monday. Today, Wednesday I texted her expressing my gratitude for listening to me. She said she was happy to help and that she was sad I didn’t tell the rest of the story.
    I said I had a question, but I didn’t know if I should ask.

    She said it was up to me.
    I said I hated how she was nice to me. It made it hard to hate her.
    She said I shouldn’t hold a grudge and that we could have a good relation if I wanted to.
    I said OK (I regret this decision).
    Then I asked if she was really angry before (the idea was to run an Echo from Texting on steroids).
    She didn’t answer and I started to panic.

    Her shift starts at 2pm. I’d text her at 11am. She didn’t answer and I thought she had figured my interest out and lost interest. So, in panic, I decided to talk to her. Huge mistake.

    You see, I’d practiced for Monday all weekend long and I was prepared. This time I hadn’t had a good night of sleep and hadn’t planned ahead. So I fucked up. I quickly wrote a summary of what to say and called her. But I was sleepy and unfocused. I also had the script in front of me and couldn’t help but checking it. I think she noticed I was reading something on the screen. My rapport was bad and I tried the hidden commands, but it sounded kinda creepy.

    I tried to ask her out to just to talk, but she said I’d misundertood: we could have a “good” professional relationship. If I really needed to talk to her about my dead friend and the problems I’m facing (I briefly told her about famiily issues – sister getting beaten by brother-in-law and family moving and leaving me alone), I could do it on the phone. I asked if we could be friends (I knew it was a bad idea the moment the words came out). She said no, that she had offered the chance but I blew it.

    I looked away, trying to think of a way to salvage the situation, but to no avail. All I could say was:
    “I was a real scumbag, wasn’t I?”
    She didn’t answer.
    “You can go.”
    She got up, smiled and said: “Don’t worry. I’ve forgiven you.”

    I know I fucked up.
    I just checked my phone and she had sent a message right when she got at work, but I hadn’t noticed. She was asking if “Were you really mad at me” was an affirmation or a question (I left it ambiguous on purpose).

    I’ll be on vacations in two weeks and we won’t be seeing each other until March. In the mean time I will practice the Method on different gals. I know I won’t make any more progress this year, but should I just cold turkey her or should I at least finish the current conversation threads (about my friend’s death, family issues and if she was angry).

    I won’t give up on her, Derek. I want to have her, not only because she is hot, but because I really like her. I love it when she is sweet (which was rare), I need to have her being caring all the time and make her love me. What do?

      Nick, in your post you’ve called this girl a whore, a slut, a dumb bitch, and fantasized about physically assaulting her. Not only that, but she’s manipulated the fuck out of you for six months. If anything, she’s Enslaved you. Now you’re telling me you “really like her”? Even if you do manage to bag this girl, she’s still going to be an insufferable, manipulative bitch for your entire relationship. Sure, she might have sex with you, but ask yourself if that’s really worth putting up with her shit for. When you’ve stopped being pussy-blind, you’ll realize it’s not.

      Nick,

      Here is the thing. There are a billion women on this planet. Of those more than ten million are knockouts. I am pushing 60 and I have a bit of advice for you. It is rooted in many years of study and experience. Keeping in mind, free advice is worth exactly what you pay for it, don’t walk, but RUN away. The woman has been playing you all along. You said so yourself.

      I go through 6 to 10 women a week. I have a fiance of sorts. We are going to do a Mayan Wedding in January. That’s a paperwork and judge free marriage. More of a commitment ceremony. But I have all the playmates I want. I chase more off than I spend time with and I only sleep with the cream of the crop.

      I set my life up this way after trying the standard nice married guy shit for many years and getting repeatedly screwed over very badly. I do not hurt women, I don’t need revenge for what was done to me. But, education is always expensive and it is worthless if you do not learn from it. Learn from this.

      But, I only get one life. From now on, I get it my way. On my schedule. If they are OK with that, we have a great time. If they are not OK with it, it is no problem at all. Go in peace my dear, thanks for the fun we had and I wish you all the best. Then, I go hunting for a replacement. It really is that simple. And with the Shogun Method, it is easier then you might believe.

      I have told my fiance and every woman I have interacted with in the past few years, this is my life, I lead it my way. You can be a part of it if you can accept it on my terms. if not? My door locks from the inside. Nobody is holding you a prisoner and you are free to leave any time you choose. There are millions more who would love to take your place.

      Sound harsh? Its not. I treat them very well, but I don’t take shit off them. Too many willing replacements out there. I do not accept anything that is not pleasing to me. No bullshit. Tell me a lie, I show you the door. I will not lie to you. I don’t care if it hurts your feelings or even if it hurts mine. I want only the truth from you. You will get the truth from me or I will not say it.

      Figure out what you want from women. What you want in life. Map it out and don’t allow anyone to deter you from getting it. As long as you are not harming others, it is nobody’s business other than your own. When the games start, she is gone. I don’t care what she offers, I don’t care what we had, it is over at games, lies, or miscellaneous bullshit. There is no question in any of my ladies minds that I mean it. They have seen me escort some gorgeous women to the door.

    Hi derek not sure if you missed out my post but just a quick question, hope you can give me some solutions to the situation im facing.

    1) what will you do to a girl (not gf) who will tends to lash out emotions at you? Example get angry at you for small comment you made or for nothing, commented that you are irritating when you do nothing at all? Basically treat you differently as compared to her other friends (usually friendlier with smile)

    2) How do you start an intrigue with a girl that you broke precondition #2 and doesn’t like you back after freezing her out for about a week or so and she is not showing you any signal or signs that she wants you back? In fact she seems mixing well with the rest of the people and starting to distance herself away from you. Example walk away when you comes near her, ignore you even when you are in front of her, talks to other friends but refuse to talk to you unless she needs your help then she come smiling at you but after that black face again.

    3) What will you do to a girl(whom you like but doesn’t like you back) treats you coldly and only comes to you acting friendly when she needed help. Otherwise she will distance away and ignore you as if you didn’t come into her life before?

    4) What to do if freezing backfired when you try to freeze out a girl you want to win back to be a friend and more again. Example, the longer you freeze her out , she gets more distance away from you. To the extend it’s quite obvious. Example she choose to talk to your friend instead of you now or when she needed help she choose to ask your friend instead of you now when you all hang out in a group. overall she seems uncomfortable being with you already.

      1 – I’d stop wasting my time on her.

      2 – You haven’t froze her out for long enough. Also, when she asks for your help, don’t give it to her.

      3 – As mentioned, don’t help her. Show her that you’re not her slave.

      4 – She thinks you’re still interested in her. Show her you’re not. Use Hearsay to let her know you’ve met someone else, and for god’s sake stop giving her help.

    Hey Derek, I have a question to you.
    I noticed that when I text a woman for the first time she gets into hot mode very quickly and everything is good. But the day after we text, when I start a new convo with her, it doesn’t “take off” and she is being very cold. Do you suggest me to try and send an intrigue ping based on what I found out about her at the day before, try to get her into hot mode ASAP, and then proceed? Or should I do something else? Maybe waiting for her to text back, If I created enough intrigue at the day before?

    Also – I have this woman I’ve been texting with and things were going great, and then this thing I described happened with her. (Hot mode -> cold mode and the conversation wouldn’t take off)
    How do you suggest to recover from this position? “Freeze” her? She is cold and distant. I think I over-excited when we texted two days ago and started to be an overreacting yesman.. that might be an accidental violation of precondition num.2. I’ve never been this way, btw, it’s the first time it happens to me.. I assume she is somewhat special 🙂

      You might be over-texting her. Don’t be too eager. However, if you’re looking for a way to jump-start Hot Mode, there’s a lot of techniques in Black Book Vol. 4. Maybe add some Fractionation to your texts too, and definitely avoid being a yesman.

    Hey Derek,

    1. I’d like to know more about the Pain Limit and most importantly, how to best utilize it. There was very little about it in the program and not even a single mention of it in the Cheat Sheet (despite it being a good 35% of the reason for my purchase of that in the first place)

    2. I’ve noticed a great deal of effect behind inducing emotional discomfort (need for closure) to keep a person ruminating on the thought of you. It’s kind of like how intrigue (A) needs answers (B) to satisfy it, sexual arousal (A) needs an orgasm (B) to be assuaged, anger (A) needs catharsis (B), embarrassment (A) needs validation/approval (B), loneliness (A) needs attention (B), boredom (A) needs stimulation (B) etc

    Side Note:
    {I’ve literally been HOOKED on someone in the past because she made me so angry. She provoked me then blocked contact; I felt so much frustration that there was nowhere for my emotions to go and she had complete control over my self worth. No ‘release’ as such}

    Since this is great for making someone emotionally invested, (even though they’re essentially chasing a loss – like gambling), is there a name for this phenomenon? (Emotional dissonance maybe?) It’s like intrigue’s ‘cliffhanger’ effect – just with different emotions.

    I wonder – is there anywhere this is discussed in depth or list all of the emotions (positive AND negative) that you can stir up (and moreover HOW to do so) in order to basically have iron fist control over their attention and or emotions.

    I’m also worried to fractionate in certain ways because I don’t want to be seen as too emotional.

    Cheers for now.
    – Nick

      1 – The Pain Limit is how much a woman can take before she yields to you. Some women will need a lot more manipulation than others, meaning their Pain Limit is higher. That’s all there is to it.

      2 – Of course. Many Shogun Method techniques have been built on this principle (ReSeduction and a lot of stuff in SMBB4). We don’t have a full list of emotions which can be exploited (although it’s discussed a little in my Manipulation Black Book), but it’s definitely something to consider for the future.

    Maybe I’m missing something here or maybe I’m not. So after you put the black rose (or the alternate you have in your other product) on a girl, how do you treat her? Like you’ve obviously led her to the deepest commitment and trance under your control, so what buttons do you press to avoid her being a psycho and what buttons are there to ensure she remains deep under your emotional enslavement? How do you utilize her alter ego? — Yes kind of next level there, but I want to understand this before I decide if enslavement is what I want in a particular relationship.

      As I’ve said, the BRS can be dangerous because there’s every chance she could turn needy, obsessive and even erratic. Providing you don’t do anything to ruin the relationship, she’ll remain under your control without you having to do much. Following Enslavement, her alter ego becomes her primary identity, so you’re utilizing it constantly. In my Shogun Sequences Handbook Vol 2, I have a technique called Hyper Enslavement which essentially renews the Enslavement should the effects diminish.

    So i have a unique situation and am not sure how to start the method since im aalready/have been intimate with this girl.
    Heres the story:
    I started seeing this girl six months ago. She pursued me. Met her at the gym. Things moved fast and we were saying i love you within a month. However she said she could not date me because of where she was in life. She was previously married and wanted to work on herself. We still saw eachother and were intimate. However she seemed avoid doing anything serious or commintting with me and would occasionaly flake on me. I got fustrated with this but moved along with it but the fustration showed.
    about two moths ago, she randomly tells me she cant be romantic with me any longer but still wanted to be friends, leaving an open to eventually be more in the future. This devistated me. Ive tried to pull away from her but think about her all the time. When i do pull away, she text and leave me notes that say i love you and i miss you. Whenever i come back, its like she never did those things and she continues with the friend thing and says shes holding back feelings for me. This has gone back and forth a few times. Occasionaly she kisses me, sometimes intimately, and other times nothing. Its hard to pull away because i feel something for this one no matter how messed up she is. Im 33 so this isn’t some childish obsession. Your method makes sense but i’m unsure on how to start it since weve already reached a certain level.
    We mostly communicate through text. Just about everyday. If i dont text her she eventually will. I only see her maybe once a week. I’m still lost with her and uncertain how to tackfully approach this situation. Apart of me wants to give up and forget about her but another says she is too important to me. Any advice would be appreciated. I should also mention she says she is interested in other people but she is not being romantic with them.
    My question is simply where to start since i have already had a semi romantic relationship with this women. Shes techncally already intrigued and i have a rapport. Any advice is apprecated
    Thanks

      To be honest, it sounds to me like she’s seeing someone else but she’s keeping you as a backup in case things go wrong. You say she always messages you when you ignore her? There’s your answer. Go cold on her for a few days. 24 hours after she texts you, tell her you were out on a date with someone. Make her do the chasing. See how this approach goes and let me know.

        I will try this but i think its too late now. She told me few days ago that she no longer has romantic feelings for me. She still wants to be friends. I went and talked to her in person the next day and have been pretending to be cool with it. But i’m not. I’ll try what you said. But honestly, she doesnt text me like she use to. But i’ll try it and see what happens. I feel like ive lost every advantage ive had now. So i actually did start seeing somone. But to be honest im not really into it. When she told me she didt have feelings for me anymore i tried to play it cool and told her about the girl i was seeing and that it was good that i knew that she didnt have feelings for me because now i can focus on that. Even though i dont really want to focus on that. I did pick up that that did bug her a bit but she tried not to show it. I hung out with her the next day trying to act like i wasnt bothered by it. But obviously im not trying to be her friend.

        Not sure if you got the reply i sent weeks ago. I think its over though. She told me she know longer has romantic feelings for me. Even though she said she loved me exactly three weeks prior. I tried everything. I went from the love of her life to garbage. She’s seeing somone else. Its been confirmed. I dont know how i screwed this up. We seemed like a for sure thing. It seems dead now. She doesnt want to be in a relationship with me. I’m having a hard time moving on from this but wonder if i just need to buck up and do it.

    Hey Derek,
    I’ll try & keep this short as possible. I have enjoyed the ‘Shogun Method’ modules Very interesting indeed.
    Recently I’ve met a lady friend on a business trip. She was curious of me initially as she believes I ignored her on the 1st two encounters, unbeknownst to me.

    Anyway, we planned to meet up the next time I was in town which we did. We had dinner & things escalated into the bedroom where things became intense & intimate without ‘sealing the deal’ which was OK with me as she said, ‘I want to, but can’t’. (This is because she knows I’m attached I believe, which she definitely knew before we had dinner). I accepted that as a definite ‘NO’ & treated her as a gentleman & never pushed it. So, you could say we had a really good night though.

    For the next 2 evenings we’d planned dinner etc.. after work & both nights I was stood up with her coming up with last minute engagements?

    So, silly me after reading the ‘Shogun Method’ I’ve committed a cardinal sin probably sounding needy. I messaged / emailed basically asking what happened / did you not enjoy the 1st evening etc…

    2 Weeks passed & still not 1 sight of communication. Then I land back in town where I executed some workings literally a stone throws away from her desk. She ignored me for 2 days. No explanation, no eye contact & not even a hello. Confused to say the least….

    Prior to this last trip, I’ve not contacted her in any shape or form, cut myself off social media all together & stayed quiet the whole time.

    I’m prepared to play the long game with this female. She’s actually got me curious & intrigued.

    The question is how do I gain the control again? Any words of wisdom?

      Reply Reply December 10, 2019

      I think it’s a combination of two things: sounding needy and her having an attack of conscience. Tell her that you’re glad you didn’t seal the deal with her because you’re happy with your wife. This will give her space to chase you. After 2 weeks, start the IRAE Model from scratch again.

    Hey Derek,

    I purchased the program just a couple days ago and have done two listen throughs. It takes a lot of work, but as a person who has not really struggled with short term relationships but with long term there is a lot of wisdom to the program you’ve built. You should be proud.

    My question is simple, I have a girl that I plan on implementing the Shogun method on for practice, but as you advise, you should always have the long term mold before you begin. If I wanted to influence her to enjoy being spanked or something along those lines, would I have to perform that after the attraction phase through a control command?

    I’m really enjoying the wealth of knowledge in the SHogun Method and can’t wait to get to work!

    Hi Derek,

    after studying the Shogun Method I have a few general questions:

    1. Most people say that NLP is pseudoscience and the beliefs, emotions and thoughts of other people cannot be controlled let alone be steered. They claim NLP has never been proven by science. What is your opinion on it?

    2. Normally the woman chooses the guy i.e. women are the gatekeepers. Either she accepts or rejects you. By approaching as many women as possible a guy tries to find a woman that accepts him. That’s the norm in this world and nearly all relationships come about this way. Very similar to a casting call. It is often stated: “attraction is not a choice” and “men do the picking but women do the choosing”. If she does not like one romantically one won’t be able to change that feeling. Are these statements correct?

    3. To get myself out of the dreaded friendzone I’ll have to match her sensory modes. How do I know that I successfully freed myself out of the friendzone? Are there any surefire signs?

    4. Can I use the Shogun Method on women who are taken i.e. in a happy and perfect relationship? Is boyfriend destroying in such a case possible?

    5. Is emotional enslavement for life or at least 30 years possible? How do I accomplish it?

    6. If I successfully created her alter ego by citing the BRS does it destroy woman’s hypergamy? Hypergamy is the biggest threat of every relationship. Back in the Stone Age it was essential for survival but nowadays it is no longer vital. My thought: if I have to prove myself every single day again to make the relationship last it will not be worth the effort.

    7. Should the effect of enslavement ever diminish can I cite the BRS again?

    8. What if I screwed things up by behaving too needy, creepy and displaying beta male traits? Back in the past I did not know about the Shogun Method and personal development. I learned from my mistakes. Can I recover and try it again on that same target or do I have to move on and find another target?

      1 – Some elements of NLP have been overblown, but a lot of the body language aspects of it are perfectly scientific.

      2 – Mostly correct, except for the not being able to change romantic feelings part.

      3 – Her body language will change drastically. She’ll be much more open with you.

      4 – Yes, I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times.

      5 – It’s possible with strong enough Enslavement, yes.

      6 – Yes, hypergamy won’t come into play.

      7 – It may diminish over time, but there are techniques to renew it (see Black Book Vol 1).

      8 – No, you can recover with the same target, you just need to adapt your methods a little.

            thank you for clarifying!

            A well known dating coach claims the following: “If a woman doesn’t have a high level of attraction to start with, if it is not a 5 (on a scale from 1 to 10) or higher, there is nothing you can do. No amount of talking to her, joking, teasing, is going to do anything to make her want to be with you.”

            1. Is his statement correct? Even with Shogun Method?

            2. How can I get her phone number without violating precondition #2?

            3. How do I ask her out without violating precondition #2?

            I have yet many things to learn.

            June 15, 2020

            1 – No, that’s total crap. If that was true, how would ugly people ever get laid?

            2 – Pretend you’ve got a file or picture to send her. Say “”I’ve got something you’ll like. Let me send it to you. What’s your number?””

            3 – If you mean ask her on a date, you wait until the Attraction stage.

Over the past 9 months I have been working on the shogun method, and I have seen it in its true effect and it’s very powerful. It has transformed me into a different person, and I’m very grateful. I have been through hell and heaven with your work, but as I continue to grow, Now I’m looking to step out into bigger and better things. I know, intrigue pings, intrigue stories. I know how to build great rapport, using mirroring, conversational hooks, cognitive dissonance, dark rapport, dark rake method, cold reading, and much more for rapport. I know for the attraction stage entice and repel, and fractionation with positive and negative stories and conflict and resolution and plagues. I also know the truth extractor, and how misdirection works. I’m still very much interested in your work, and I would like to help guys to.

    I understand you can’t just break up and then text them you’re seeing someone else the next day etc.. So how long should I wait before moving onto stage 2 Confirmation? Or what should I do in the meantime? She keeps texting me agreeing that we should both move on with our lives and move forward etc..

    So, I bought the Shogun Method, Reseduction 2.0 & Texting On Steroid. Here a little about me, I was left by my ex girlfriend of 6 month relationship (she introduce her parent, she cook for me, she even tell me her stupid secret, she was obedient to me). So basically, she left me because she said she is seeing someone else but not in a relationship with that person (bullsh*t). I realized that I was getting insecure and less dominant throughout the relationship compared to when we first met.

    I finish reading the Shogun Method and even tried it on 2 women. So, the Intrigue & Rapport stage are legit. I even go through the attraction stage but stop halfway because its not my goal anyway. What i truly desire is to get my ex back.

    My ex girlfriend left me and told me to never contact her again. She even asked me to never come to her places again. She changed her phone number and the only form of communication we had was Facebook messenger.

    My questions are:
    1. Its been more than a month, will Reseduction works? Are there anyone else who had tried this method?
    2. The only form of communication I had with her right now is via Facebook Messengger. Will that affect the Validation process?
    3. Do I have to purchase other program(Barnum Manuscript, Black Book Vol1, Boyfriend Destroyer) to make this method work?
    4. This is my worst fear. What if she decided to block me during the Confirmation stage OR the 7 day freeze out (before the Restoration stage even begin) ?

    Hope you replied. I’ve been wondering about this for a long time. She’s one of a kind.

      Reply Reply October 19, 2020

      1 – Yes, I think ReSeduction is the best approach. Plenty of people have used ReSeduction in your situation and seen success.

      2 – Facebook Messenger should be fine for Validation and Confirmation. However, you should push for face-to-face contact for the rest.

      3 – Providing you have the Shogun Method core program and ReSeduction, that’s all you need. There are several add-ons which could be useful, such as SMBB4, but it’s not vital.

      4 – Get the Validation stage done fast, i.e. send as much info as you can in a single message. But even if she blocks you, what’s stopping you creating a fake Facebook account and messaging her through that?

    Hi Derek,
    I have two questions I’d like you to answer please.

    1. Hypergamy and enslavement. Does the process of enslavement, using the black rose method (and other methods you have within the Dark Reke Method) aid in stopping hypergamy from occurring? I’ve been a victim of hypergamy one too many times, and it hurts when someone you’ve loved with all your heart, has bounced off to another man and is now bouncing on him (literally).

    2. I don’t believe in re-seducing my ex, but for future partners, again due to their hypergamous nature, how to I ensure they stay and basically don’t look at anyone else (I know that women are incapable of loving a man unconditionally, I’m not asking them to love me unconditionally either, I just want them to stay).

    • Derek Rake

      Reply Reply October 19, 2020

      1 – Yes, Enslavement is the best possible defense against hypergamy, infidelity, etc.

      2 – That’s the whole point of Enslavement; to keep her from looking elsewhere. Providing you pull of the BRS effectively, she won’t be tempted to stray, whether for hypergamous reasons or not.

    Hello Derek!

    I just finished the Shogun Method modules, and I’ve decided that I will apply what I’ve learned to a girl at work that I like. Problem is, she’s not the type to socialize and isn’t much for conversation. She’s a shy type, so it seems. I can attest to that since I tried to engage in friendly small talk with her a couple of times, and the conversation always seems to fizzle out. I just want to ask, with these types of girls, how can I find things to talk about, since I’m having a problem engaging in conversation with them sometimes? Most of my exes are outgoing women, with a lot of female and male friends, and I guess I’m not really used to dealing with “shy types”, if that really is a proper term to describe her.

      Introverted types can be difficult to break, but it’s all about establishing trust with them. Once they know they can trust you, they’ll be more open to communication. In my Barnum Manuscript program, I have a few tried-and-tested scripts which purposely cater to introverted women.

          1 – My Alpha Male Activator will help you get in the right frame of mind. The most common reason for being hesitant to start is that you’re afraid of rejection. You need to overcome this. Rejection isn’t a big deal and comes with the territory. Once you accept it, you’ll find the balls to just get on with it.

          2 – Don’t. If you’re using SM techniques (and especially if you’re a beginner), only approach girls on their own. Alternatively, strike up a conversation with them via text beforehand.

    Hi Derek,
    I had a problem that I like a girl she was my high school friend, so I had 2 dates with her and I use fractionation on that 2 dates after i used fractionation she said: “do you want to come to my place after finishing this coffee” and “I want to break up with my boyfriend but I can’t find a reason now”(she have a boyfriend). I was trying to kiss her (i can wrap my hand around her shoulders, touch her hair, and her face and she didn’t say anything) but when I touched her face prepare to kiss her then I was freezing (I’m too scared) so I can’t kiss her. After talking awhile saw that her plan is charge, she set up a date with her friends after coffee with me, finding a reason to call her friend and take her home. so that I went home empty-handed.
    So my question is
    1, Is been a month after that date I haven’t seen or contact her, what should I do? ( do I have to use the IRAE model because I think the IRAE model use to start but I’m in the middle of the progress)
    2, How to become braver to make a move?

      1 – Damn, you fell at the last hurdle. If you’d have kissed her then your story would have ended very differently. But right now, yes, get back on the horse. Since it’s been a month, contact her and start things over at the Intrigue stage. It worked once and it will work again. However, vary your scripts this time so she doesn’t get deja vu. And when you get to kissing stage, go for it.

      2 – Don’t over think it. She wants you to do it. It isn’t a life or death situation. Once you’ve done it, you’ll realize that it’s not the big deal you thought it was.

      NLP is a very important part of Shogun Method and yes, it’s used extensively throughout it. Unfortunately I can’t comment on external programs (legal issues), but there are some good books on NLP (including my own Manipulation Black Book). Something which goes hand-in-hand with NLP is body language manipulation and there’s a great book on that called What Every Body Is Saying (not a SM product).

    Derek,

    I just got done going through the Shogun Method and I find it very intriguing. I have not done any of the things I read yet and will be going over it many more times before I attempt it.

    Here is my story and my intention.

    I met a girl in July through Seeking Arrangements in July 2020. I did not expect to like her so much and I think she likes me. I do not live in her hometown and would need to travel to her if I am to see her. However, I have the means and the ability to see her and often if I wished.

    We had an affair that lasted until early November when she called it off. She lied to me that her grandfather died and she needed space. When in fact she got a boyfriend. We have not communicated since then but our breakup was not emotional. I have since thought about her constantly and want her, but I wanted to respect her relationship with her new boyfriend. I know they will not last because I’ve seen those types of relationships before. Young and fun but not serious. He cannot provide a living. She seems happy for now and I don’t want to rock the boat, it’s cuffing season and I wanted to check back in in April.

    My question is, at this time, I am employing no contact. Should I drop in to just say Merry Christmas and such just to keep myself in her mind? Or should I remain in no-contact until they break up?

    2nd questions, where should I start on IRAE when I do attempt to reconnect?

    Thanks

      Stay back until they break up, otherwise you’ll run the risk of getting blocked. When you do resume contact, begin again at Intrigue. Since it’s been a long time since you last spoke, all of your previous effects will have been undone by now.

    Hey Derek, I have a few questions:

    (1) My Primary girl hasn’t responded to any text since January and I’ve been freezing her out since the last failed text a month ago. The earliest I can break the Freeze out is May 20 because I have exams. (For context, she almost never responds to anything when she’s at college but when she’s home she’s always quick to respond with long walls of text if I start with an intrigue ping. I don’t excessively text. She lives within walking distance of me so maybe that plays a factor?) I will not be able to see her in person until after May 20 since I still have exams. Of course, the very first thing she will hear from me will be an Intrigue Ping followed by a story, but my primary goal is to get her to meet up in person for an event in late June and begin the rest of the IRAE model from there. How can this be accomplished without breaking Precondition #2? I’m leaning towards asking her with an Implanted Command but I don’t know how that would translate over the phone and I’m not in the Attract stage yet. If I ask direct again and she turns me down, I could text an anti-demand but I’m worried it would leave me in a digital rapport stage, which I don’t really want because that seems like another form of contextual rapport. The only other thing I can think of is randomly “bumping into her” while on my daily neighborhood walk and asking her there. Thoughts?

    (2) My Primary girl’s grandmother suddenly died on May 8 and the funeral is on May 17. Should I freeze her out longer? Should I mention anything or express condolences or just not bring it up? I would think her pain limit is higher and action limit should be lower, but I don’t know if that applies in this situation since the Pain Limit is the discomfort related to her interaction with me, not her grandma

    (3) I attend a religious school and there are many seminars/lectures we have to watch that critique “Hookup culture.” I know that Shogun Method is amoral and you favor enslavement and long-term relationships over PUA. However, the speakers at my college respond to PUA hookup culture with what appears to be a highly idealistic response. I asked them for a detailed explanation and this is what they gave me:

    “Bobby, you need to understand that the girl you love is not an Object but a Person; Persons are not Objects to be manipulated, designed, or judged by any standard other than that of Persons. Each Person is, unrepeatable, unique, incommunicable, and infinitely precious. The act of seducing a woman, whether with the usage of pickup techniques or controlling her mind via psychological manipulation, would take away her rational free will to choose to love you, objectify the woman as nothing but her aesthetic value, and disrespect her Dignity as a Human Person. If you truly Love her, you wouldn’t seduce her but treat her as a Person and be open and honest.”

    I’m obviously on your side, Derek. I’m just wondering how a Shogun were to respond if I were to hypothetically argue against it. What does Shogun Method define as “love?” How would I respond to the accusations of so-called “objectification” of women? (Won’t leak Shogun Method, promise!)

    (4) I’m going to buy another program in the summer, which one would best deal with my Primary not responding when she’s at school? I would assume a failure to respond would be caused by a lack of sufficient intrigue on my part, but I don’t know if the Intrigue Black Book or Texting on Steroids would be more relevant to this context. (Just out of curiosity, how come references to Enslavement on the sales pages are replaced with E-Addiction? Did you get attacked by sjw’s and were forced to change it?)

    (5) When I practice Shogun Method on other women, should I opt for lower or higher SV women? I have a -1 or -2 SV gap with my Primary and I don’t know if it would be good practice seducing someone when the gap is in my favor since it would be way easier and I might make a mistake and not realize it

      1 – Simply asking her to meet up won’t violate Precondition #2. To play it safe, text something like “”I’m going for a drink at the bar in an hour, feel free to join me if you want.”” This is a much more indirect way.

      2 – Yes, show her your condolences. It won’t affect the manipulation process at all. It will make her much more responsive to you.

      3 – Well, your school are right in a way. Everyone (women included) is unique in some respect, but it doesn’t stop there being biological patterns in human behavior. It’s just that women have a lot more patterns that are open for exploitation. Also, they’re not saying you SHOULDN’T seduce her. They’re just saying you should only seduce her if you love her.

      4 – In your case, Intrigue Black Book would serve you best. I’ve always said that Intrigue is the most important stage of the process. If you can master Intrigue, the rest will naturally follow. Regarding the renaming, we thought emotional addiction was a more all-encompassing term. Enslavement had too many negative conotations.

      5 – It depends how confident you are. For a sure thing, go lower. If you want to push your skills to the limits, go higher. Try and keep it within a 1-2 tolerance each way.

    Derek,

    I sent her a text similar to your suggestion, but no response. I suspected I was blocked since there was no read receipt, but another dating coach (Louis Farfields, the self-proclaimed TextGod) instructed me to send an animated GIF of a meme (A dog with the caption “GO ON WITHOUT ME!”) after her working hours to get her to respond. No response, but she read it immediately, confirming I’m not blocked. (She also follows me on Twitter; I’m not blocked there.) While I’m probably just overthinking (she enticed/repelled me hard) I worry that she will forget me because of this GIF. Then again, “Go on without me” is an overt command so maybe she will rebel against it. I’m not sure if sending this GIF was a good idea.

    Here’s my current action plan for getting her on a date, thoughts?
    1. Freeze out until the end of June, even if she responds to the GIF.
    2. Text an Intrigue Ping opener after her work hours, following the Intrigue Black Book’s advice on Intrigue over text message. “Hey, there’s something I’ve been wondering…I’ve been thinking about it all day…”
    3. She will likely respond; finish the Intrigue Ping (When you’d make the decision to text me), then maybe an Intrigue story or a sequence over text. (Perhaps even a one sentence Fractionation line if she claims she’s a bad texter: (“Your horrid texting skills are actually quite fascinating”)
    4. Invite her on in-person date using your suggestion “Hey I’m going to on , feel free to join me if you want”
    5. If she doesn’t respond, freeze out for 3 weeks and attempt Intrigue Ping again. For each failed attempt, freeze out an additional week. Continue to practice Shogun Method on other women to sharpen game.

    I haven’t finished the action plan for the actual date, but we’ll cross that bridge when it comes. I will incorporate the advice in the Date Optimizer bonus.

      Personally I’m not an advocate of GIFs because they lack substance. They’re like a jump scare in a horror movie. They might get her attention for a split second but then she’ll quickly forget about it. Words have much more power. Your game plan is good, just don’t be too quick to invite her on a date. Wait a day or two before asking her out so that the manipulation has time to take hold. Let me know how things progress.

    I’m married and have been friends with this couple for long time (15+ yrs) and we are good friends but I started to feel attracted to my friends wife and a year ago I kissed her. Since then she been going back and forth on whether it’s the right thing to do as she sees my wife as her best friend/sister she doesn’t have. She’s mentioned more than once that doesn’t believe in marriage as an institution nor loving just one person entire life but because of her relationship with my wife she cannot take it to the next level with me. We have mutual attraction; she says she loves me but not like the way I would want it. Unfortunately just recently I let her know my intensions of making love to her. The other day we met for lunch but she kissed me unwillingly and later that night she sent me this text saying: “I don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t think I can give you what you are looking for. I’m not comfortable doing this. I cannot keep stressing about this going back and forth (this in ref to my wife’s relationship with her). I almost feel forced into doing things I don’t want to because my heart is not in it. I do love you but can’t love you the way you want me to, so its best to put a stop to this. Please understand and leave it be.” She’s given me mixed signals in the past and one of the reasons why it dragged a year long going nowhere and has come across as confused person at times.
    Please advise am I to continue to pursue her or this relationship is dead and just leave it be and move on? I have told her that I can’t be just a friend anymore like before. I purchased shogun method in the hopes that I can fix this and re build my attraction level. What should I do?

      It depends on your long-term intentions Marvin. Do you want to be in a relationship with this new woman or just sleep with her? If you have no intentions of staying with your wife then get a divorce and hook up with her friend. If you just want to sleep with her, you have to convince this woman that your wife and her husband will never find out. The likelihood is that this woman thinks you want something more, but if you don’t, simply tell her outright.

    Hi Darek .
    I have this girl in my office. Single mom. We were friends later we kissed and make love . I made some mistakes like not taking her to dinner , she was angry one day BCS I ddnt drop her to some place In last Dec. From January she ddnt want to go out with me Till April . Then in April I asked why she is doing like this? She simply say she don’t want to go out with me, I’m married, she says she was only see me as friend, and was helping me. She says she don’t want to help me to cheat on my wife. I was angry . And asked to talk with me. She did not say anything but stand firm on her decision. In anger I cut on my forearm, i thought she will feel something and come back, but instead she scared started to avoid ..since then she gets upset for no reason, get angry instantly. Try to keep me away ..we still talk, I ddnt give up..
    I want to keep her under my control. She is good. But I feel like insulted bcs she is doing this to me everyday. I never initiated sex, but she did .

    My question is what is the best way to put her under my control? That is the reason I bought Shogun method just to keep this women under my control.
    I read full Shogun method. But I don’t know what is my position now, and from where to start
    I’m not getting where to start.

    I’m going to ask her to dinner again and I will say I need to speak.
    If she agrees to dinner..
    What I’m going to ?
    1) ask her sorry again explain everything and tell her I love her( we had feelings for each other we knew indirectly we love)
    Or 2) should I play a blame game on her to make her feel bad about her? Like she used me for sex, etc.
    It’s almost year now .. and I’m restless everyday.. please help

      “You violated Precondition 2 pretty badly here, which is why she ran away/ Less of the self harm next time too. That won’t solve anything. Right now, you’re not in any stage of the IRAE Model because you’ve fallen out of it. To get her back, start by freezing her out for two weeks. Then you’ll need to use ReSeduction. ReSeduction is my program designed to get exes back and it’s perfect for your situation.

      Do NOT apologize and explain how much you love her next time you see her. That will just drive her further away. Instead, tell her how much she’s held you back from being happy and used you for sex. “

    Hi Derek – I have been a Shogun and NLP practitioner for years. I ran through IRA on a woman at work over 6 mos time. We work very closely together. She is very intelligent, was raised in a cult, apparently knew about NLP and got suspicious. She figured out what I was doing by googling. She watched me for a couple of months and then confronted me. Now she is upset, texting me every day, is rollercoastering. She has not said anything to anyone at work and says that won’t. I have not responded to any of her accusations which have been sent via text. What do I do to stabilize the situation? At this point, I do not want to continue with her.

    Just finished reading SM and all of the attached bonuses. It’s a lot of information.

    So I thought I’d start with sharing my particular situation so we can build out a plan of action for moving forward.

    I met a woman while I was overseas and we ended up spending the next 2 1/2 months traveling together. She’s 35, from Germany, and speaks and writes conversational English. I’m 41, from the USA, and had zero trouble communicating with her. She works remotely which gives her the freedom to travel whenever she likes. I’m a former airline captain that had enough of the rat race, saved up the next 8 years worth of living expenses in hard cash in the bank, and I call myself semi-retired for the time being while I find my next venture.

    She had recently ended a 3 year relationship just 2 months before we met so she wasn’t looking for a new relationship and not ready for love – those were her words to me on the second day we spent together. But she insisted to spend time with me and get to know me.

    Our first month was deeply passionate and intense, being intimate multiple times a day, she would go on to tell me she could imagine all possibilities for a life together, was ready to start a family with me and commit to a future together, despite the mere days we had known one another. I felt the same way as well (never fell so strongly so fast but it really felt fantastic).

    And then the tide slowly changed about 4 weeks into our relationship. She became very controlling, fought with me excessively, and kept repeating she wanted to be alone despite continuing to initiate spending time with me. It was very confusing. (After reading SM, I feel like she Shogunned me like an Olympic athlete!)

    Since we were traveling together we began sharing hotel rooms. After about 2 weeks of that she moved to a new hotel, alone, did not talk to me for 48 hours, and then resumed calling and texting to hang out. The silence and re-contact to hang out happened every week for the next 4 weeks in a row, it became clockwork. Then it was time for us to fly home.

    Once we were both home, she continued to video call and text for 5 days until finally she said she lost her happy feelings for me and that we needed to stop talking. It’s been 2 weeks since we last spoke. And now that we’re both home in our respective countries we are 7 time zones apart.

    Additional background – her mother was an alcoholic her entire childhood and she was not able to rely on Mom for anything. Her father was in his late 60’s when she was born and had PTSD from his experiences in WW2. And her mother used to tell her that her father never wanted her to be born. But she said her relationship with Dad was kind and loving.

    She would later have a bad experience being attacked one night in a park, a man grabbed her and tried to sexually assault her, but she was able to get away before anything bad happened. And an ex-boyfriend of hers had become aggressive and was stalking her. The last 4 relationships she had, where she was dating seriously, she was the one to end them.

    I share these private insights because I don’t think the problems her and I had were strictly a matter of attraction issues. There appears more deep-seated mental stuff going on in the background. For my own learning and growth I did some research and found her behavior – controlling, criticizing, picking fights, disrespect, withdrawal, trust issues, and emotional unavailability – all matches that of someone that is self-sabotaging in relationships, that has fears of intimacy, and also has an insecure attachment style. Reading about those 3 issues described her behavior verbatim and pointed to her parents and childhood as the root of the issue, which makes sense to me given her unstable upbringing. I’m sure the attempted sexual assault and stalking did not help either.

    If it wasn’t that we matched so well in wants and desires for the future, I mean, we aligned nearly perfectly, then I would just move on and find a better match. But, we were a damn good fit. And I’d really like make a life together with the version of her from our deeply passionate first month. The only things I’ve done since the two weeks of not talking began was to to acknowledge to her, via text, that our separation was necessary and there’s no future together under the living conditions of the previous 6 weeks. She did not reply.

    This all happened before I was part of SM so now I sit here, a bit overwhelmed by my new knowledge, trying to sort out where to begin. Do you agree that there are some mental things from her childhood that are interfering with her ability to be with me? And what course of action should I follow now to work at fixing the breakup and getting back together with her based on the background information I shared?

      Reply Reply June 7, 2023

      This woman might have deep-rooted childhood issues, but she’s also a drama addict. She gets off on dopamine rushes from short-term highs, which is exactly what your short-lived relationship was. You’re now both trying to recapture that spark you had in your first four weeks, which itself was heightened by the fact you were traveling together. Once you got back home and settled into normalcy, it wasn’t enough for her and she went looking elsewhere.

      The bad news is that no matter how much you enslave this woman, she’ll always be the drama-seeking addict she always has been. There’s no way around this, unfortunately, so if you do pursue her, don’t expect her to change a whole lot in the future. SM can make her reliant on you for her emotional needs, but these attention-seeking tendencies will never disappear. The best course of action given your situation (and her psychological profile) is my ReSeduction program.

    Hello Derek,

    Hope you are doing well. Would the conventional IRAE model work on a live-in ex?

    Ten years, first relationship, we were literally the love of each others’ lives.

    Even up to now my ex cries when they remember parts of our relationship.

    I screwed up big time (no cheating or physical abuse, fortunately), but we are in a financial bind and we cannot move away from each other. We can’t even afford another mattress.

    So, the VCRD model seems difficult. Can I just use fractionation? My ex and I talk every day and hang out almost 24/7 since we have work at home jobs.

    My ex is the most stubborn person on the planet and they double down on breaking up with me at every opportunity.

    Hi Coach, How are you doing?

    This is about a Pretty girl, I approached last week.
    I have seen her thrice before in bus while I am on the way to home from my office. She gets in at the between and gets out after 3 bus stops. She also sees me sometimes.
    (Myself age=31, Slim, Height=6
    She age=24, Medium fat, Height=5)

    Last Friday, during morning on my way to Office, I saw her getting into my bus. She sat in front of me. While she was getting out at her stop, I also got down. I went to her and asked her name and place, for which she replied. Later I said “I’d like to be friend with you”. She said I am sorry and went away. I felt bad

    Later, after reaching home, using her name and company name, I searched her on LinkedIn and message her.

    Message
    ” Hi. Myself Software Engineer working in a MNC.
    I find that you have a Curious personality.

    I wish to have a conversation with you once. Can I have your permission for the same. Kindly accept my request. ”

    No reply yet.
    I know I did a mistake sending this text. It looks like a needy guy’s text.

    Now, from past one week I am not able to remove her from my head. Continously thinking about her. She is The Perfect for me according to my like, rare to find. I want to date her badly. I am serious here.

    Hence, Please help me on what to text her in next nessage, so that, I can atleast get some reply from her.
    (So that from next I can take the conversation in a proper way following IRAE rules)

    Please don’t suggest me to move on as it is impossible. I have stopped even approaching other girls as nobody looks as Perfect as her for me.

    I am having issues with attracting women all of my life. They were constantly rejecting me, being rude to me. Even girls who were attracted to me “by default”, the ones who approached first would in the end lose interest in me. I lost count how many times it happened…..Before I begin with the story of my last relationship, I must say that I am new to the Shogun Method and this all happened way before I heard about it.

    However I have met this one girl in late 2020./early 2021. She was the one who approached me first. She was hot for me from the moment she laid her eyes on me. Everything went well for about a year and then in 2022. all of the sudden she started cooling down, she started to avoiding me, she stopped aswering my calls, ignoring my messages, starting making excuses to not see me and stopped answering my messages…..giving lame excuses such as “I had to do my laundry” or “I have been with friends on a coffee”.

    She would reply on my messages three months after I have send them. I have really busted my ass to attract her back. I have even called her to come celebrate New Year with me with excuse “We Are too Far”……I mean were 1 hour away with driving a car. She was coming up with all kinds of excuses not to see me and she ignored me in every single way. No matter how many messages I have sent her to her, she ghosted them all.

    One day I have got sick and tired of her ignorance. It was early February last year and at that point I haven’t heard her for a month. I managed to to message her one more time. By surprise she replied. It was around 1 a.m. We talked little bit and she asked what I am I doing recently. I have said “I am doing a music news website which is my big ambition right now”. She said: “Why about women in your life?”, I have said out of the blue without even thinking: “Now I am focued on my ambitions and myself and future career, no time for women right now”. Then she said that her computer broke down and If I am willing to come to her and fixed it. On that I out of the blue, not thinking, replied: “I would love to, but we are too far”. Then I have went to sleep and that was it.

    What happened next morning, shocked me. I looked on the cell phone and there were 192 messages on WhatsApp from her asking me where I am. Soon she started texting me, calling me, asking me where I am, wanting to see me. She started stalking me sending me her nude pictures, love songs, videos……SHE JUST WENT HEAD OVER HEALS FOR ME LIKE ON A FLICK OF A SWITCH.

    She started haunting me, wanting to have sex with me, sending hundreds and hunderds messages a day. All of the sudden girl who ignored me for a year, girl who I have chased for a year all of the sudden is chasing me and I am the one who is now running away. That lasted for 6 month, until one night she went out with her friends. She met one guy, that guy did something that her immidiately turned her off towards me. She went radio silent again……After that she sent me message after three months saying she is in love with this new guy and that she doesnt have any feelings towards me anymore.

    My question is now. What the hell happened here? Help me understand. Why did she went super hot for me after I have just said that I am putting me, myself and carrer in front of the women and after I have mirrored one of her excuse? However, I have watched recently video “Hot Hormone Spiker” by one of your students Fredo Hill and he explained Narcisim is a huge turn on for women.

    My actions largerly ressemble naricism here, don’t you thin? And how to achieve that every girl I want, also goes crazy like her? What are the preconditions here to achieve that? And how she lost interest all of the sudden? My guess is that new guy used some sort of boyfriend destroyer on her. Whenever I have asked her why she is chasing me now all of the suddent, she refused to answer me the question or she would brushed me off to change the subject or she would said at one point “That’s the mood I am in now”. After she dumped me, when I have asked the question why she dumped me, she answered again “That’s the mood I am in right now”.

    Was I dealing with a some wacko-jacko here or did I without knowing accidentaly pushed some attraction button in her mind to generate this huge attraction in her. And how did she lost all the interest all of the sudden in a half of day after going crazy for me for literally a half a year without a stop? Did this new guy used a boyfriend destroyers? Something wierd happened here. That never happened to me before.

    Thanks

      Mladen: simple–you’ve unconsciously fractionated her. The secret sauce was in this line–

      “NO TIME FOR WOMEN RIGHT NOW”

      Believe me, those six words are like raking her feminine sexual desires over hot coals. You’re rejecting her after the pursuit, and her feminine imperative compels her to chase you. You have the upper hand here, and it’s a good place to be. Now you have the secret keys that will ignite her hots for you, never lose them!

      It’s all about Fractionation. Fredo Hill’s idea of the Hot Hormone Spiker is 100% on the money.

      On your final question–lots of possibilities, and the presence of another Shogun is definitely an explanation.

        Hi Derek,

        That was I suspecting all the time…..it was the only thing I did before she went nuts for me. Now here is the question. Since she and all the other girls were ghosting me for months and months, we can safely say that she and all the other girls before her lost attraction for me….right? So is this means that If I have managed to hook all the other girls on conversationa and If I have said said to all the other girls before same thing during the conversation “NO TIME FOR WOMEN RIGHT NOW”, they would all went nuts for me?

        Thanks

        Mladen

    There is a girl who I have been talking to on and off, she lives in Japan but im planning on visting as I like the country. I tried texting her some sequences to get from rapport to attraction but shes gone a bit cold after that, she says she will be back in 2 weeks as her parents are visiting and she wont reply to my messages till then, but also agreed to call and watch movies after. She is a shy girl as we usually send long text streams while the other is sleeping similar to that of letters. She also has a boyfriend but never mentions him (I dont think he gives her much attention). How do I put her in her place?

      Texting Shogun Sequences are typically a no-no, except for those designed specifically for that medium (i.e. Shogun Sequences Over Text). You should freeze her out, and then re-engage. Bulk of your Shogun Method should be performed face-to-face. Use this time to build intrigue and rapport; reserve the Attract tactics and Shogun Sequences for the time when you see her.

    I’ve been seeing this chick for like 8 months. She’s had a boy friend for like 9 years. I started using the Shogun System on her. However, after I did the IRAE and used black rose, she told me her mom use to do a similar hypnosis to her as a child.

    I kept reading and realized that I needed to destroy her bf for us to work out. I have been using the boyfriend destroyer system for 5 moths on her and she finally told him about me. Well he wouldn’t let her leave so she had me introduce myself to him, but she stayed with him that night. She says she plans to break up with him soon. But she says she is scared to leave him because he said he would tell her mom.

    Problem is that she will be moving back home for the summer and perhaps we will only see each other on the weekends if were really lucky.

    What do you think I should do? Keep using boyfriend destroyer and IRAE. If she breaks up with him, should I use black rose on her again, or will that be damaging?
    Her boyfriend obviously knows how to control her using fear. Is there any way I can free her from fear of her mom and him?

      Yes, keep piling the Boyfriend Destroyers. Reusing the Black Rose won’t be too damaging if done under controlled circumstances. The question of freeing her from fear is immaterial; all you need to do is to inflict a fear of losing you to be bigger than the fear of losing her boyfriend and mother.
