You\u2019ve been lied to for a long, long time about how to succeed with women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have been looking on the Internet for dating advice, then you may have stumbled upon what\u2019s commonly known as the <em>\u201cPickup Artist\u201d<\/em> (PUA) or<em> \u201cSeduction\u201d<\/em> community. You may even have grown to be familiar with some of the characters central to the community. Some of the more famous players in the PUA community are <strong>Mystery<\/strong>, a magician showman who would advocate dressing up outlandishly to attract women (&#8220;peacocking&#8221; in PUA lingo) and <strong>Neil &#8220;Style&#8221; Strauss<\/strong>, the New York Times journalist who wrote a bestseller chronicling his time as a PUA (and Mystery&#8217;s best friend).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Listen: I am not saying that Mystery and Neil Strauss are charlatans &#8211; far from it.<\/strong> But for one legitimate dating guru that emerges from this community there are probably ten others who are rehashing content and republishing the same techniques to make money with their crappy rehashed ebooks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>I want you to be aware that something more <em>sinister<\/em> is at play here.<\/strong> Because dating coaching services have become big, multi-million businesses since the days of Mystery and Neil Strauss, it has attracted its fair share of the kind of hustlers who would use bait-and-switch tactics and questionable sales practices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The dodgiest of these dodgy sales practices (which I find truly despicable) is undoubtedly what&#8217;s called the <strong>&#8220;Forced Continuity&#8221;<\/strong>. When you buy a PUA ebook, you may have unwittingly enrolled into a &#8220;subscription&#8221; service through the fine print on the checkout page. If you have been billed multiple times on your credit card for some &#8220;subscription&#8221; service you don&#8217;t remember signed up for, then you&#8217;ve been a victim of a Forced Continuity scam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And that&#8217;s not all. Because selling dating ebooks is so profitable, these Fake Gurus want you to continue spending money with them as long as possible, and as such, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">it&#8217;s not in their interest for you to solve your relationship problems<\/span>. You see, if you don&#8217;t stop sucking with women, you&#8217;ll keep buying their products, and they&#8217;ll make more money off you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In short, <strong>dating ebooks are designed to make you fail. <\/strong>I know that sounds really awful, but it&#8217;s the truth. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And not only that&#8230; these Fake Gurus spread what I call the <strong>Deadly Dating Lies<\/strong>, and these insidious lies have been systematically fed into your minds over the years, sabotaging your chances to be successful with women. And if you have ever believed these lies, I want you to know that it&#8217;s not your fault&#8230; not even the smartest guy on earth would have &#8220;survived&#8221; the relentless and unending <em>barrage<\/em> of misinformation coming in all directions, online <em>and<\/em> offline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What you are going to read next is where your redemption is. I\u2019m going to expose each of these lies so that you can<em> de-program<\/em> yourself completely and also get your defenses up whenever you get lied to again by these Fake Gurus to peddle their B.S. ebooks.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffb113;\">Deadly Dating Lie #1:<\/span> <em>\u201cTo Attract Women, You Should Use Complicated Routines, Openers, Stories, Lines And Tricks That Demonstrate High Value\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>This lie really pisses me off not only because it\u2019s blatantly false but also because it was completely cooked up to mislead and confuse.<\/strong> And like most guys, I was completely duped into believing this lie after seeing it in a couple of &#8220;seduction&#8221; products when I was just starting out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember the earlier story I told you about Brandy? Back then, I had tried every single \u201cseduction\u201d trick I learned from pickup artist blogs and ebooks, and yet my failure with her was nothing short but spectacularly <em>humiliating<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>So this is what I want you to do: forget every single &#8220;Seduction \/ Pickup Artist&#8221; tricks you have learned: from ebooks, blogs, wherever.<\/strong> In particular, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">stop using \u201cCanned Routines\u201d and \u201cOpeners\u201d that \u201cDemonstrate High Value\u201d which will do you more harm than good<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Trust me on this: nothing turns a woman off more than hearing the same old, tired pickup lines used by countless of other guys of \u201cPickup Artist\u201d wannabes out there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Instead of relying on these doubtful techniques, you, as a Derek Rake client should already know better to use mind control and hypnosis-based conversational patterns. You should also know that you shouldn&#8217;t be doing most of the talking (like most &#8220;Pickup Artists&#8221; would), and instead, you should get <em><strong>her<\/strong> <\/em>to talk about the <em>right<\/em> themes and topics\u2026 so that you can then guide her to generate <em>intense<\/em> emotions\u2026 and finally, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">link those wonderful romantic emotions to you<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>(That was the basic underlying structure of the <a href=\"https:\/\/shogunmethod.net\/dark-rake-method\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dark Rake Method<\/a> in case you&#8217;re wondering.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In short, I want you to remember this: <strong>you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">don&#8217;t<\/span> need to use pickup lines or perform tricks like a dancing monkey to make a woman like you, period<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffb113;\">Deadly Dating Lie #2:<\/span> <em>\u201cYou Need To Sleep With A Lot Of Women To Be Happy\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The society pushes sex on everyone, and that\u2019s a fact.<\/strong> We have been conditioned to think that a guy who has had sex with more women is the <em>\u201cAlpha Male\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now I bet that you\u2019ve maybe even believed this at one point in your life\u2026 and yet this is not even <em>close<\/em> to the truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fact is that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">higher number of sex partners doesn\u2019t necessarily indicate higher level of happiness<\/span>.

He could be someone with a huge intimacy <em>void<\/em> that he hopes to fill by sleeping with lots of women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For many guys, what makes them happy is surprisingly <em>simple<\/em>. They just want to stop feeling <em>powerless<\/em> with women, and they want<em> more control<\/em> in their relationships. <strong>I know this, because I am one of those guys.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don&#8217;t get me wrong now. My programs will give you all that power and control that you want, and if you\u2019re looking to use that power to sleep with as many women as you can, I want you to know that there\u2019s absolutely <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">nothing<\/span> wrong with that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is one thing I want you to promise me however. Because of how <em>potent<\/em> this knowledge is, the possibility of it getting misused to harm women is very real, and so I want you to agree to use my programs ethically and responsibly.
