DHV, the holy grail of seduction, right? Well, here’s a way to take it to the next level. When most guys think in terms of this, they think along the lines of “impressing” her. As if she’s got this mental clipboard in her head and is going to check off different variables of all the […]
The Seductive Power of Vague Language
There’s two ways of persuading people, an easy way, and a hard way. Most sales people use the hard way. They bash you over the head with features and benefits, hoping they hit enough “hot buttons” to convince you to buy. Back when I used to sell cars, we were trained in “butterflying” the car. […]
Explode Their Desire
All humans are pre-programmed with an insatiable desire for more stuff. No matter how much stuff you’ve got, you’ll always want more. This is human nature, and it’s why we are the predominant species on Earth. While every other animal was content to eat, sleep and have sex, somehow humans ended up with a burning […]
Congruent Persuasion
Most folks hate salespeople. There’s nothing worse than walking onto a car lot, maybe interested in buying a car, and maybe not, only to be accosted by a salesperson who hasn’t sold anything that week and is desperate for a commission. On the other hand, we all have the experience of walking into some kind […]
You Are The Sorter
There’s this really cool move called “Revolver,” by Guy Ritchie, the same guy who made “Snatch.” In the movie, there’s this hit man, who’s name is “Sorter.” Some say the whole movie is a metaphor for getting rid of the ego, and all the characters make up various parts of the human psyche. At the […]

Unlimited Wants
Everybody wants something. As soon as we get it? We want something else. This is human nature. It’s not wrong, it’s not evil. If we were content to sit around with the bare minimum of sustenance and shelter, we’d never have evolved past the ape stage. Those big burly silver back gorillas? All they really […]
Dig Deeper For Higher Level Criteria And Find Treasure
Everybody wants something. Soon as we get something, we want something more. All human life is based on exchange. What we’ve got, for what we want. That position you’re sitting in now, as you’re reading this. Did you just shift your weight? Just a little bit? If you didn’t, you’re thinking about it now. Part […]
Easy Mind Seduction With Hypnotic Structure
Structure is hypnotically seductive, but we usually can’t see it. What do I mean? Consider this sentence: Yesterday I ate a banana. The structure is [time reference] + [subject]+[verb]+[object]. The content, the stuff that fills in the blanks, is yesterday, I, eat, banana. How about this sentence: You are smart because you are reading this […]
How To Persuade Anybody
Do you like salespeople? Most people don’t. When people think of salespeople, they usually think of words like “pushy,” or “sleazy,” or “manipulative,” and the list goes on and on. It’s like they study from some secret book of how to manipulate people or something. Why is this? What specific behavior do salespeople exhibit that […]
