Hello, and welcome to my blog.<\/h2>\n

\"Dereky name is Derek Rake<\/strong>. I have been a member of the seduction community since December 2003. I also write\u00a0books on dating and seduction – you might have heard of “How To Seduce Out Of Your League<\/a>” book which I published in 2006. A quick Google search<\/a> on my name will show some of the articles that I have written which got published online.<\/p>\n

Here’s how things got started…<\/p>\n

Ever since I found the community, my\u00a0dating life has improved by leaps and bounds.\u00a0I have dated no less than 200 women in six years, and coached more than 100 men achieve considerable success with women. While I got better with women, I found that the aspects of my life have improved also – this is what known as the ‘spillover effect’<\/strong> in the community.<\/p>\n

Listen:<\/p>\n

I am telling you that not<\/span><\/strong> to boast, but to show that if *I* could do it, anyone can (believe me, I was at the worst ever condition six years ago a man could ever be in – grossly overweight, with ZERO experience with women and close-to-zero social skills), and to become better with women is a worthwhile goal for every man<\/strong>. And in the process, it’s not uncommon to see drastic improvement in other<\/strong> areas of your life too.<\/p>\n

But you know what else?<\/p>\n

I am thankful to both the community as well as a certain ‘Zen Master’<\/strong> who has taken me under his wings to teach me absolutely mindblowing<\/strong> shit that I never knew about women. Click here<\/a> for the full story.<\/p>\n

He was the inspiration behind this blog (hence the title Zen & The Art Of Seduction<\/strong>)…I will tell you about his inspiring story in the blog postings.<\/p>\n

Why am I doing this?<\/p>\n

By writing this blog, I hope to give back<\/strong> by sharing my knowledge and experience with the community. Inside this blog, you will find tips and insights on the topic of dating and seduction – from my personal experience as well as from coaching my clients. These are tried-and-tested<\/span> and validated-in-real-life stuff<\/span> we are talking about here, folks.<\/p>\n

Some of the guides in this site can be pretty controversial – for example, my “how to seduce a married woman<\/a>” guide has attracted lots of attention in the mass media. Let me clarify that we are NOT<\/strong> misogynist (after all, we are doing this for the love of women!), and we only want the best for our girlfriends and wives, not the worst. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

What’s more…<\/p>\n

The content on this blog is free. From time to time, I will also be recommending some external resources (some of which are NOT<\/strong> free) for the benefit of my readers.<\/p>\n

Now at the risk of sounding *really* narcissistic, a\u00a0little bit more about myself…<\/p>\n

I\u00a0 have traveled quite a bit my entire 44 years of life – to the US, UK, all over Europe, UAE, Tunisia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to get in touch or just to say hi, here’s my personal email. As you could probably tell, I have absolutely no pretension to be a ‘dating guru’, and I try to reply every email I get, so give it a shot!<\/p>\n

Talk soon, and enjoy your stay here at DerekRake.com<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Your friend,<\/p>\n
