Well this may be a bit awkward

I mean this.

It is an article that promotes an author of a book about seducing women. In the article is a link to a video about the book and about the fantastic system that is The Tao of Badass. It teaches any man, great or small, rich or poor, pretty or hideous to get any woman they want. Either for a one night stand, a week's dating or even for love. Even keep multiple women happy and in love at the same time. Seems ridiculous, but you've yet to watch the video.

The video first gives a small taste of what he promises, then leads on to a tragic tale that explains how the author knows so much (apparently he read a lot of books and got horny), then gives a few simple tastes of psychology. The common putting visual or cognitive stress on lips for example. Breaking down tension by uttering babble that can be misinterpreted as showing trust, confidence and convenience. The video is rather lengthy, filled with vague promises and success stories, leaving many watchers glued to the screen. All while making those watchers begging for more - available for a humble sum of money.

While I must grant psychology does work when trying to gain attraction from a member of the opposite sex. We are no penguins, we need social interaction before we choose a mate (or to mate), how we interact has obvious consequences pertaining to prolonged contact with that person (fancy words to avoid being too blunt and distasteful). Some psychological effect can be abused in most situations, some hardly ever. But even psychologists know that even though people are not snowflakes, they are somewhat different. Even minute differences in the limbic system (especially the amygdala) or the prefontal cortex change how or what a person feels or does. So vague promises or not, there is no magic bullet to get with any girl.

But is there a need for a magic bullet? Should a man be able to go after any girl he pleases and have guaranteed success? Is it perhaps okay then for any man to have the following situation every now and then?



For this convergence to work out mathematically, women would have to become extremely active sex-wise. This may be a bit of a slippery slope argument, but would this not lead to a sudden rise in overall sexual activity and lower the importance of meaningful long-term relationships? Not saying that we should immediately assume this is bad, but it's food for thought.

This may be a bit narrow-minded, but I prefer a traditional approach. Loyalty to your partner. Respect. Having a family that you trust and can trust you. No need to sleep around, no desire to risk everything you have. It doesn't matter if you have a male or a female partner, as long as the relationship is stable and worthwhile for everyone involved. This cannot happen when one or more of these partners doesn't value the relationship enough not to stray. As I said, might be a bit narrow-minded, but it works for me.

All in all, a playbook that gets any man any woman they want is a fake, it's a scam. It cannot be done. The fact that the salesperson grades women on a ten point scale depending on how they look and stresses how every man should go for the 9s and 10s simply adds insult. Not to just women, degrading them into mere numbers based on looks, but men as well, simplifying them to the extent where all a man wants is frequent intercourse with physically arousing women. To believe such a person would be able to make all that happen? That just manages to insult the intelligence of those he is selling it to. Sometimes a conman can be cool, sometimes... not so much.
