Until about a decade ago, I was one of your everyday average guys who just never <\/em>seemed to be able to get the girl. It didn’t matter what I did, it was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, I was tremendously BAD<\/strong> with women that I felt utterly worthless, unattractive, and of course, unhappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have felt like this at some stage of your life too. And I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s not very nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I kept persevering, but with each unsuccessful meeting and each rejection, I became more and more depressed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, when I had hit rock bottom, I made a promise to myself to overcome this obstacle that was stopping me from meeting and dating the right women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I not only have lots of dates, but I have lots of dates with beautiful, smart, witty, amazing women. And amongst them, have even been some 9s, and a handful of 10s. There’s no need to tell you how incredible that feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, dating beautiful women and models is not going to provide you with an inner happiness, however, it will give your self-esteem a huge boost. And that is what makes it all worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how did I discover the Secret to meeting and dating the right women?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I did attend a few seminars. I also read some self-help books and listened to inspirational tapes, but none of them really helped me at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is where it all changed…<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was then introduced to the Master <\/strong> through the recommendation of an old pal and became one of his first seven disciples who schooled in the art of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was during this period when I absorbed as much as I could by learning from the Master, and formulated shogun Method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My life took a drastic turn that moment onwards. I religiously recorded almost everything the Master said, and took action on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly, my skills with women began to improve, and I could only thank the Master for taking me under his wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more profound things that the Master said to me was, “If you want to start to be better with women, do this one thing. Watch people<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, I was stumped with his cryptic answers. I pressed him for an explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Watch people?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He smiled knowingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Yes. Observe how people interact. How they mingle. How they communicate. And you will realize that all the men that were getting the women had similar characteristics.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might laugh, but after extensive research on the techniques and processes of dating, involving studies on (or ‘watching’!) guys with a natural gift for ‘scoring’, I believe I have found an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, it’s not THE <\/strong> answer, but it works for me. And, at the end of the day, isn’t that what all guys want: to learn the secrets of ‘getting the girl’?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where it gets REALLY interesting…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t understand at first, so I immersed myself in the dating world, by befriending a group of guys who were comfortable; and more importantly, successful – with women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I was confused. They would say and do things I would never have dared say or do to a woman such as jokingly suggesting to her that she was using a line to pick them up or by mocking her. And after that, these guys would still end up getting her number!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I watched what they did and studied their techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I modified them a little, created a system, which I tested out on a number of women, and you won’t believe it – this system actually worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining this with the Master’s deep insights spoon-fed to me over a period of one year, Shogun Method was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t believe it myself and I don’t expect you to either, but it’s true! And, it has absolutely nothing <\/em> to do with physical appearance, or social status for that matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a short while, I no longer felt like half a man to whom no woman was attracted. I had found the ‘new’ me. With this knowledge, I had become a cool and confident guy to whom women were drawn. Not only that, I found out a surefire way to make a woman submit to a man<\/a> willingly and lovingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was so excited to have discovered this secret that I just couldn’t keep it to myself. I wanted other men just like me to have the same chance as those ‘popular’ guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, why should some guys have an unfair advantage over others<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is they shouldn’t.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having stumbled on the find of the century, I thought it my duty to all guys struggling in the dating stakes, to let them also have the chance to know how wonderful it feels to be able to attract a girl who is gorgeous or funny or smart, or all three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, this was what I did…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote down everything I had learned and devised into a system. This blog will feature specific tips, insights and techniques from this system… including methods on how to hypnotize a woman<\/a> and make her fall in love quickly. Also, this is where the fractionation seduction<\/a> tactic took its roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I know that you will be skeptical when it comes to believing my tips really work – and so you should be. I don’t proclaim to know all the dating secrets, but I do know some of them. And they have worked for me, which means they could work for you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this blog, you can really keep abreast of the latest cutting edge nlp seduction<\/a> tips and techniques as my newsletters are updated regularly and are filled with loads of useful information to help you meet and date the right women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would even venture to say that the blog posts here at DerekRake.com<\/strong> are more valuable than most ebooks you find out there today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that this is a fairly bold claim but once you have read it, I could almost guarantee that you will agree with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog could be your stepping stone to a happier life. I can’t wait to share with you the dating secrets I’ve discovered, so that you too can have the confidence and technique needed to make women want to be with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
