It&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider this &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The goal of all women is to extract as many resources from men as possible. <\/strong>They want you to work hard, keep your head down, pay the bills and buy them a Louis Vuitton bag once in a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it: if a man realized he had options, why would he work his fingers to the bone to support one woman? Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your fellow men aren&#8217;t much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men are naturally competitive and view the dating market as a zero-sum game. Keeping you down and believing that you can&#8217;t get quality women kills off the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, asking &#8220;dating advice&#8221; from your guy buddies can be counter-productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes they are not malicious. Simply, <strong>regular people suck at giving dating advice<\/strong>. And that&#8217;s perfectly understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while we&#8217;re at it, let&#8217;s get this clear: even most &#8220;Dating Gurus&#8221; are suspect. The worst kinds of these &#8220;Dating Gurus&#8221; are those who call themselves &#8220;Pickup Artists&#8221; (PUAs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, pay attention. Here&#8217;s a little Business 101: <em>repeat customers are profitable<\/em>.

Let&#8217;s talk about the first rule now&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rule #1: Always Conceal Your Intentions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The popular chorus you&#8217;ll hear is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Always be honest with a woman.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Honesty is the foundation of a successful relationship.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Wearing your heart on your sleeve is <a href=\"https:\/\/derekrake.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-relationship-stronger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how you can make a relationship last<\/a>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fucking nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Truth: women never want full disclosure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women are addicted to mystery and intrigue. They love to live in their imaginations. Being &#8220;honest&#8221; runs counter to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example to illustrate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On your very first date with a woman, tell her this within the first ten minutes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m looking for a long-term relationship.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, tell her about all your exes and how many sexual partners you&#8217;ve had. And while you&#8217;re at it, describe to her your favorite sex position, and your preferred brand of condom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And after that first date, blow up her phone saying: <em>&#8220;I think I&#8217;m in love already. Please be my girlfriend. Move in with me tomorrow.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think you&#8217;ll land a second date?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course not. You&#8217;d be lucky if you don&#8217;t get a restraining order from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here&#8217;s the point I&#8217;m making:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honesty isn&#8217;t always the best policy.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially when it comes to courtship. Heck, honesty is the <em>worst<\/em> policy when it comes to women. Believe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you want a woman to do what you want, keep her guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Always conceal your intentions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onwards&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#cb3b34;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#e5554e;border-color:#ffffff;color:#fff;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><strong>READ ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/derekrake.com\/blog\/alpha-male-characteristics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpha Male Characteristics<\/a> (Top Five Signs Of The Dominating Alpha Man)<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rule #2: Domination Is The Name Of The Game<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s another often repeated piece of advice we can destroy here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Every relationship must be equal.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;And,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The best relationships are 50-50&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, that all sounds very fair and politically correct.

If your relationship with a woman is locked into one particular <em>subject<\/em>, you&#8217;re friends, not lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about this example: when you were in school, did you ever bump into your teacher around town?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bet you didn&#8217;t know how to relate to your teacher outside of school, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an example of your relationship being based on a specific <em>place<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our flagship course, Shogun Method, we call this <strong><em>&#8220;Contextual Rapport.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> This is rapport based on one topic or one place.

Politicians, large corporations, famous brands, video games, Hollywood do this every day. They&#8217;re masters at it.

What do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s my answer&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference here is that you care about the person you&#8217;re manipulating. (After all, you&#8217;re in love with her, right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realize that <strong>manipulation is just a tool<\/strong>. It&#8217;s like sun or water &#8211; you can use them to burn, drown, wash, or warm people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s important are the <strong><em>intentions <\/em><\/strong>of the person using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you may be wondering now: <strong>what&#8217;s the best way to enslave a woman?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m glad you asked. It&#8217;s a Mind Control technique we developed at Shogun Method HQ called <strong>Fractionation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fractionation is a polarizing mix of <a href=\"https:\/\/derekrake.com\/blog\/hypnotize-someone-falling-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hypnosis<\/a> and deep human psychology. It was an underground technique used by rogue hypnotists for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And guess what?<strong> The Shogun Method team were the first to adapt Fractionation to use in dating and relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are the pioneers, and so we are so ahead of the curve that nobody else comes close.
