Most
people have dreams in their
youth that get shattered or worn
down with age. They find themselves disappointed
by people, events, reality, which cannot
match their youthful ideals. Ideal Lovers thrive
on people's broken dreams, which become lifelong
fantasies. You long for romance? Adventure? Lofty
spiritual communion? The Ideal Lover reflects your
fantasy. He or she is an artist in creating the illusion
you require, idealizing your portrait. In a
world of disenchantment and baseness,
there is limitless seductive power in
following the path of the
Ideal Lover

He had seemed to anticipate her thoughts had been so pleasant, and yet
so bold

His method was simple: on meeting a woman, he would

study her, go along with her moods, find out what was missing in her life,
and provide it

The key to following the path of the Ideal Lover is the ability to observe.
Ignore your targets' words and conscious behavior; focus on the tone
of their voice, a blush here, a look there—those signs that betray what
their words won't say.

your physical imperfections disappear. He brings

you godlike, immortalizes you. For his ability to create
such fantasies, he is rewarded with great power.

Never let matters of money or work intrude into the fantasy of courtship

Dig into your targets’ past and bring images and ideals that have been abandoned or repressed back to the surface

Make them feel elevated, lofty, spiritual, and your power over them will be limitless

To create this effect requires patience and attention to detail. Most people are so wrapped up in their own desires, so impatient, they are incapable of the Ideal Lover role. Let that be a source of infinite opportunity. Be an oasis in the desert of the self-absorbed; few can resist the temptation of following a person who seems so attuned to their desires, to bringing to life their fantasies

Dangers that arise if you let reality creep in

Most
of us feel trapped within the
limited roles that the world expects us to
play. We are instantly attracted to those who are
more fluid, more ambiguous, than we are—those who
create their own persona. Dandies excite us because they cannot
be categorized, and hint at a freedom we want for ourselves.
They play with masculinity and femininity; they fashion their
own physical image, which is always startling; they are mysterious
and elusive. They also appeal to the narcissism of each
sex: to a woman they are psychologically female, to a man
they are male. Dandies fascinate and seduce in large
numbers. Use the power of the Dandy to create
an ambiguous, alluring presence that
stirs repressed desires.

Seduction was and will always remain the female form of power and
warfare.

The Feminine Dandy
The key is ambiguity: your sexuality is decidedly heterosexual, but your
body and psychology float delightfully back and forth between the two
poles.

A man's apparent independence,

his capacity for detachment, often seems to give him the upper
hand in the dynamic between men and women

Dandies seduce socially as well as sexually; groups form around them,

their style is wildly imitated, an entire court or crowd will fall in love
with them. In adapting the Dandy character for your own purposes, remember
that the Dandy is by nature a rare and beautiful flower. Be different
in ways that are both striking and aesthetic, never vulgar; poke fun at
current trends and styles, go in a novel direction, and be supremely uninterested
in what anyone else is doing. Most people are insecure; they will
wonder what you are up to, and slowly they will come to admire and imitate
you, because you express yourself with total confidence

Men do not understand how women think, and vice

effect: by adopting psychological traits of the opposite sex, they appeal
to our inherent narcissism

the slightly
feminized male, the pretty boy, has always been seductive to women

The Dandy figure has a place in politics as well. John F. Kennedy was a
strange mix of the masculine and feminine, virile in his toughness with the
Russians, and in his White House lawn football games, yet feminine in his
graceful and dapper appearance

Do not be misled by the surface disapproval your Dandy pose may

elicit. Society may publicize its distrust of androgyny , but this conceals its
fascination. what is most seductive is often what is most repressed. Learn a
playful dandyism and you will become the magnet for people's dark, unrealized
yearnings

The key to such power is ambiguity. In a society where the roles everyone
plays are obvious, the refusal to conform to any standard will excite interest.
Be both masculine and feminine, impudent and charming, subtle
and outrageous. Let other people worry about being socially acceptable;
those types are a dime a dozen, and you are after a power greater than they
can imagine.

Childhood is the golden paradise we are always consciously or unconsciously trying to re-create.

natural has an uncanny effect on us. Since the beginning of time, natural
phenomena—such as lightning storms or eclipses—have instilled in human
beings an awe tinged with fear. The more civilized we become, the greater

with so much that is manufactured and artificial that something sudden and
inexplicable fascinates us

Most people try to please, but the pleasantness of the child

comes effortlessly, defying logical explanation—and what is irrational is
often dangerously seductive

Because adult life is full of boredom and compromise, we

harbor an illusion of childhood as a kind of golden age, even though it can
often be a period of great confusion and pain.

True spontaneity is a delightful rarity, for everything in life conspires to rob

skill that seems easy and natural, along with the ability to improvise. If in
fact your skill takes practice, you must hide this and learn to make your
work appear effortless. The more you hide the sweat behind what you do,
the more natural and seductive it will appear.

Defensiveness is deadly in seduction; act defensive and you'll

bring out defensiveness in other people.

A display of "natural" weakness

will make you instantly lovable, both lowering people's defenses and
making them feel delightfully superior to you.

People are drawn to those who expect a lot out of life, whereas they tend
to disrespect those who are fearful and undemanding.

Remember:
the role you were given in life is not the role you have to accept.

Learn to play with your image, never taking it too seriously. The key is to infuse your play with

your own joy-filled world, the more seductive you become. Do not go halfway: make the fantasy
you inhabit as radical and exotic as possible, and you will attract attention like a magnet

The ability to delay satisfaction is the ultimate art of seduction—while waiting, the target is
held in thrall. Coquettes are the grand masters of the game, orchestrating a back-and-forth
movement between hope and frustration. They bait with the promise of reward—the hope of
physical pleasure, happiness, fame by association, power—all of which, however, proves elusive;
yet this only makes their targets pursue them the more. Imitate the alternating heat and
coolness of the Coquette and you will keep the seduced at your heels.

People are inherently perverse. An easy conquest has a lower value than
a difficult one; we are only really excited by what is denied us, by what we
cannot possess in full. Your greatest power in seduction is your ability to
turn away, to make others come after you, delaying their satisfaction.

Most
people miscalculate and surrender too soon, worried that the other person
will lose interest, or that giving the other what he or she wants will grant
the giver a kind of power

Never be put off by your target's anger; it is a sure sign

of enslavement.

Remember: seduction is a process of

drawing people in, making them want to pursue and possess you. Seem distant
and people will go mad to win your favor. Humans, like nature, hate a
vacuum, and emotional distance and silence make them strain to fill up the
Coquette empty space with words and heat of their own. Like Warhol, stand back
and let them fight over you

Remember:
the essence of the Coquette lies not in the tease and temptation
but in the subsequent step back, the emotional withdrawal. That is the key
to enslaving desire.
To adopt the power of the Coquette, you must understand one other
quality: narcissism

To understand the peculiar power of the Coquette, you must first

understand a critical property of love and desire: the more obviously you
pursue a person, the more likely you are to chase them away. Too much attention
can be interesting for a while, but it soon grows cloying and finally
becomes claustrophobic and frightening. It signals weakness and neediness,
an unseductive combination. How often we make this mistake, thinking
our persistent presence will reassure

Self-esteem is critical in seduction. (Your attitude toward yourself is

read by the other person in subtle and unconscious ways.) Low self-esteem
repels, confidence and self-sufficiency attract.

The Coquette must first and foremost be able to excite the target of his
or her attention

Remember: obvious
flirting will reveal your intentions too clearly. Better to be ambiguous
and even contradictory, frustrating at the same time that you stimulate

Coquettes are never jealous—that would undermine their image of

fundamental self-sufficiency. But they are masters at inciting jealousy: by
paying attention to a third party, creating a triangle of desire, they signal to
their victims that they may not be that interested.

Symbol: The
Shadow. It cannot be grasped. Chase
your shadow and it will flee; turn your back on
it and it will follow you. It is also a person's dark side,
the thing that makes them mysterious. After they have given
us pleasure, the shadow of their withdrawal makes us yearn
for their return, much as clouds make us yearn for the sun.

Stand out from other women by having a highly feminine and sexual presence

She represents a powerful male fantasy of a highly sexual, supremely

confident, alluring female offering endless pleasure and a bit of danger.

The effects of a SIren on seduction or hero

The intellectual is often the one most susceptible to the Siren call of pure
physical pleasure, because his life so lacks it

The notion of danger, challenge, sometimes death, might seem outdated,

but danger is critical in seduction. It adds emotional spice and is
particularly appealing to men today, who are normally so rational and repressed

If it is seductive power you are after, the Siren is the most potent of all.
She operates on a man's most basic emotions, and if she plays her role properly,
she can transform a normally strong and responsible male into a childish
slave.

two other critical qualities: the ability to get the male to pursue her so
feverishly that he loses control; and a touch of the dangerous

But you must not resemble a

courtesan or whore, whom the male may pursue only to quickly lose interest
in her

From Cleopatra we learn that it is not beauty that makes a Siren but
rather a theatrical streak that allows a woman to embody a man's fantasies.
A man grows bored with a woman, no matter how beautiful; he yearns for
different pleasures, and for adventure. All a woman needs to turn this
around is to create the illusion that she offers such variety and adventure

Physical qualities—a scent, a heightened

femininity evoked through makeup or through elaborate or seductive
clothing—act all the more powerfully on men

The Siren must stimulate a generalized desire, and the best way to do this is
How to adopt the Siren Characteristics by creating an overall impression that is both distracting and alluring. It is

The Sex Siren has a more urgent and immediate effect than the Spectacular
Siren does. The incarnation of sex and desire, she does not bother
to appeal to extraneous senses, or to create a theatrical buildup.

A highly feminine and sexual presence,

even to the point of caricature, will quickly differentiate you, since most
women lack the confidence to project such an image.

Clearly a critical quality, as the legend indicates, the Siren's

voice has an immediate animal presence with incredible suggestive power.

No matter how enlightened the age, no woman can maintain the image
of being devoted to pleasure completely comfortably. And no matter

follows the Siren

Even so, men are often forgiving when it comes to the Siren's

A woman
never quite feels desired and appreciated
enough. She wants attention, but a man is too often
distracted and unresponsive. The Rake is a great female fantasy
figure—when he desires a woman, brief though that moment may be,
he will go to the ends of the earth for her. He may be disloyal, dishonest,
and amoral, but that only adds to his appeal. Unlike the normal, cautious
male, the Rake is delightfully unrestrained, a slave to his love of women.
There is the added lure of his reputation: so many women have succumbed
to him, there has to be a reason. Words are a woman's weakness,
and the Rake is a master of seductive language. Stir a
woman's repressed longings by adapting the Rake's
mix of danger and pleasure.

“A Rake’s greatest asset is his reputation. Never downplay your bad name, or seem to apologise for it. Instead, embrace it, enhance it. It is what draws women to you.

Women are often oppressed by the role they are expected to play so offer them their female
fantasy, which is to meet a man who gives totally of himself and lives for her even if just for a
while

You must convey a sense of risk and darkness, suggesting to your victim that she is participating
in something rare and thrilling – a chance to play out her own rakish desires

Never worry about going too far: the Rake’s essence is that he goes further than anyone else

Among the Rake’s most seductive qualities is his ability to make women want to reform him –
when caught red handed in rakishness, fall back on your weakness – your desire to change, and
your inability to do so. Women will jump at the opportunity to reform you

your irresistible attractiveness to women, your uncontrollable devotion to pleasure, your disdain
for convention and a rebellious streak that makes you seem dangerous

Most
people have dreams in their
youth that get shattered or worn
down with age. They find themselves disappointed
by people, events, reality, which cannot
match their youthful ideals. Ideal Lovers thrive
on people's broken dreams, which become lifelong
fantasies. You long for romance? Adventure? Lofty

fantasy. He or she is an artist in creating the illusion
you require, idealizing your portrait. In a
world of disenchantment and baseness,
there is limitless seductive power in

Dig into your targets’ past and bring images and ideals that have been abandoned or repressed

To create this effect requires patience and attention to detail. Most people are so wrapped up in

his appearance, sensitivity to detail, a slight coquettishness – but also a hint of male cruelty.
Women are narcissists, in love with the charms of their own sex. By showing them feminine
charm, a man can mesmerise and disarm them, leaving them vulnerable to a bold, masculine
move.” – Robert Greene, The Art of Seduction

The key is ambiguity: your sexuality is decidedly heterosexual, but your body and psychology
float delightfully back and forth between the two poles

The Dandy Be both masculine and feminine, impudent and charming, subtle and outrageous. Let other
people worry about being socially acceptable; those types are a dime a dozen, and you are after
a power greater than they can imagine

if you simply seem socially confident and sure of your taste, people will be drawn to you… your
ability to allevite boredom by making life an art will make your company highly prized

Hint at something for them to aspire to, reveal your faith in some untapped potential you see in
them, and you will soon have them eating out of your hand

This kind of mental transvestism – the ability to enter the spirit of the opposite sex, adapt to
their way of thinking, mirror their tastes and attitudes – can be a key element in seduction. It is
a way of mesmerising your victim

Childhood
is the golden paradise we
are always consciously or unconsciously trying
to re-create. The Natural embodies the longedfor
qualities of childhood—spontaneity, sincerity, unpretentiousness.
In the presence of Naturals, we feel at ease,
caught up in their playful spirit, transported back to that
golden age. Naturals also make a virtue out of weakness, eliciting
our sympathy for their trials, making us want to protect
them and help them. As with a child, much of this is natural,
but some of it is exaggerated, a conscious seductive
maneuver. Adopt the pose of the Natural to
neutralize people's natural defensiveness
and infect them with helpless
delight.

Seduction

Root out the fear and awkwardness that has built up in you over the years, become more
graceful with your approach and less defensive when others seem to resist

The Natural Learn to play with your image, never taking it too seriously. The key is to infuse your play with
the convention and feeling of a child, making it seem natural. The more absorbed you seem in
your own joy-filled world, the more seductive you become. Do not go halfway: make the fantasy
you inhabit as radical and exotic as possible, and you will attract attention like a magnet

The best way to use the Natural character type is in specific situations when a touch of innocence
or impishness will help lower your target’s defences

Don’t play up to your vulnerability and helplessness too much or it will seem like you’re begging
for sympathy and are needy

Do not worry about offending people now and then – you are too loveable and inevitably they
will forgive you

The
ability to delay satisfaction is
the ultimate art of seduction—while
waiting, the participant is held in thrall. Coquettes
are the grand masters of this game, orchestrating a
back-and-forth movement between hope and frustration.
They bait with the promise of reward—the hope of physical
pleasure, happiness, fame by association, power—all of which,
however, proves elusive; yet this only makes their targets pursue
them the more. Coquettes seem totally self-sufficient: they do
not need you, they seem to say, and their narcissism proves devilishly
attractive. You want to conquer them but they hold the cards.
The strategy of the Coquette is never to offer total satisfaction.
Imitate the alternating heat and coolness of the Coquette
and you will keep the seduced at your heels.

“A Coquette will hold their victim in thrall by delaying their satisfaction, pulling them back and
forth between hope and frustration. They bait with the promise of reward – the hope of physical
pleasure, happiness, power – all of which, however, proves elusive; yet this only makes their
targets pursue them the more.” – Robert Greene, The Art of Seduction

The less you seem to need other people, the more likely others will be drawn to you

You must first be able to excite your target. The attraction can be sexual, the lure of celebrity,
whatever it takes. At the same time, the you must send contrary signals that stimulate contrary
responses, plunging the victim into confusion
The Coquette
Trap people emotionally and keep your victims in your clutches long after that first titillation of
desire

Hint at coldness, absenting yourself at times to keep your victims off balance, surprised,
intrigued. Your withdrawals will make you mysterious, and will build you up in their imaginations

Your greatest power in seduction is your ability to turn away, to make others come after you,
delaying their satisfaction. Do not surrender too soon if you’re worried your victim will lose
interest. Make your targets afraid that you may be withdrawing….hot and cold, hot and cold –
such coquetry is perversely pleasurable, heightening the interest and keeping the initiative on
your side

Charm is seduction without sex. Charmers are consummate manipulators,

masking their cleverness by creating a mood of pleasure and comfort. Their
method is simple: they deflect attention from themselves and focus it on their
target. They understand your spirit, feel your pain, adapt to your moods.
In the presence of a Charmer you feel better about yourself. Charmers
do not argue or fight, complain, or pester—what could be more seductive?
By drawing you in with their indulgence they make
you dependent on them, and their power grows. Learn to
cast the Charmer's spell by aiming at people's
primary weaknesses: vanity and
self-esteem.

Strike at the things your target have the least control over: their ego, their vanity, and their self-
esteem

Make your target the center of attention, learn to listen and observe. Let your target talk,
revealing themselves in the process. As you find out more about them – most importantly their
weaknesses – you can individualize your attention, appealing to their specific desires and needs,
tailoring your flatteries to their insecurities. You can make them feel bigger and better,
validating their sense of self-worth. Make them the star of the show and they will become
addicted to you and become dependent on you

The Charmer Always be a source of pleasure, no one wants to hear about your problems and troubles

Never show anger, ill temper, or vengefulness, all disruptive emotions that will make people
defensive.

Never criticize people overtly – that will make them insecure, and resistant to change. Instead,
plant ideas, insinuate suggestions

Lull your victims into ease and comfort. Charm is like the hypnotist’s trick with the swinging
watch: the more relaxed the target, the easier it is to bend him or her your will. The key to
making your victims feel comfortable is to mirror them, adapt to their moods. People are
narcissist – they are drawn to those most similar to themselves. Seem to share their values and
tastes, to understand their spirit, and they will fall under your spell

“Charisma is a presence that excites us. It comes from an inner quality – self-confidence, sexual
energy, sense of purpose, contentment – that most people lack and want. This quality radiates
outward, permeating the gestures of Charismatics, making them seem extraordinary and
superior, and making us imagine there is more to them than meets the eye: they are gods,
saints, stars, Charismatics can learn to heighten their charisma with a piercing gaze, fiery
oratory, an air of mystery. They can seduce on a grand scale. Learn to create the charismatic
illusion by radiating intensity while remaining detached” – Robert Greene, The Art of Seduction

Purpose – if people believe you have a plan, that you know where you are going, they will follow
you instinctively

Eloquence – a charismatic relies on the power of words. The reason is simple: words are the
quickest way to create emotional disturbance.

The Charismatic Theatricality – it is essential to be self-aware, to have the ability to see yourself as others see
you

Fervency – you need to believe in something, and to believe in it strongly enough for it to
animate all your gestures and make your eyes light up

Adventurous – charismatics are unconventional. They have an air of adventure and risk that
attracts the bored. Be brazen and courageous in your actions – be seen taking risks for the good
of others.

Daily life is harsh, and most of us constantly seek escape from it in fantasies and dreams. Stars
feed on this weakness; standing out from others through a distinctive and appealing style, they
make us want to watch them, At the same time, they are vague and ethereal, keeping their
distance, and letting us imagine more than is there. Their dreamlike quality works on our
unconscious; we are not even aware how much we imitate them. Learn to become an object of
fascination by projecting the glittering but elusive presence of the Star.” – Robert Greene, The
Art of Seduction

You are a blank screen. Float through life noncommittally and people will want to seize you and
consume you.

Learn to tune your face like an instrument, making it radiate a fascinating vagueness for effect.

Since you need to stand out from other stars, you need to develop an attention-getting style.
The Star
Keep your distance, let people identify with you without being able to touch you. They can only
watch and dream.

Make yourself into a cipher, a mix of the real and unreal

Hold yourself back, occasionally revealing a trait that makes people wonder whether they really
know you

Your words should be fascinating, diverse, strange, their meaning unclear.
