I read the Juggler's Method. If I got the link wrong, tell me:

Since I heard so many people praise this 'Juggler' method and De La Soul saying how 'it changed his life', I was expecting something interesting. I kept on wondering "WHERE is the seduction here?" In my SS days, everything was geared to getting the girl in such a way that AFCs couldn't even THINK. This is why when I read something that is about 'being casual in encounters', I don't consider that SS. If this is now SS, then SS really has gotten watered down IMO.
Correct me if I'm wrong Trickynick: the Juggler's Method is a METHOD (or series of methods) designed to relax and make more casual one's interactions and project one's values and increase rapport. (A method of casualness? A series of 'prjecting values'? My mind flashes 'Paradox')
It all sounds fine. It is something I would expect Allen to put on the main page. It is not the SS I am used to. If there is any seduction in the Juggler Method, where is it? I didn't see any.
Through your 'lay report', I didn't really see ANY seduction, at least not the type I was used to.
I want to highlight the end part:
During pillow-talk/afterplay I said...
"I have something to tell you. I have been truthful with you about everything so far...except for one thing. Juggler actually does have another job I didn't tell you about. He teaches seduction."
I proceeded to tell her about the workshop, ASF, why I got into all this, the whole nine yards. She found it interesting and was blown away by my honesty. But said, "You didn't seduce me, I seduced you."
"You are right," I said, "You did. That was the idea."
I always wondered why after sex, people become super honest and spill out their lives. Never could figure that one out...
What if she is RIGHT? What if she did seduce you? What if you were merely material to be used and discarded for her pleasure?
It's been said that women are the targets. I believe that women are the ARROWS. A woman is 100% sexuality. Sexuality is woman's turf. Just as prevalent space is in our Universe, sexuality fills up all the spaces in Womaniverse. Otto Weieger pointed out a lot of this in disturbing clarity.
The more I looked at literature, the more this theme is seen. It is as if the ancients understood the sheer power of women and rebelled against it.
She got a ride from you home. She kept you at her place for her later plans. She goes to YOUR bed. I bet she did a 'lay' report for her friends on the phone later that day.
I always wondered how girls could be so cruel to AFCs. But when seen in this light, they find their control over them not as cruel but as a testamount to their power.
Trickynick, if you ever want to try something different, do this: Make the chick think that she has you in her grasp. Then, when the moment of truth comes, DON'T GO FOR IT. I've never seen women get so furious before. They become confused at first, then extremely angry.
One funny case was a class I had. This chick was pretty cute (she was a dance instructor too!). She was sending me hints like I've never seen. I kept on ignoring her (haha). She even planned a party after the final just to get ME. Near the end, she wore this skin tight top (covered with a jacket). She uncovered herself at one point in class, and I was like "WHOA". Once she saw that I noticed her, she smiled and covered herself up. Obviously, those things were meant for me. At first, I thought, "MAN! Those are going to be mine tonight! She wants me to have them!" Then I realized, "Wait a second. She is trying to conquer me. Let's see what happens if I don't go for her." Sure enough, she got angry/depressed/frustrated/hateful all at once!
Women don't just prance around in the world. They are trying to conquer men. After all, we men love it when women understand us. But women HATE it when we understand them. When you look at a lot of marriages, you know who is really in control (and this goes beyong AFCness). Oddly, the men seem HAPPY like my dog who is happy to be told when to be fed, when to be played with, and when he can get on the bed.
In either case, I am no longer an SSer of ANY kind. The approach I use now is different and closer to Juggler's style (though not exactly). De La Soul gets it, at least conceptually, but Pook doesn't seem to.
Exactly! Juggler 'Method' doesn't even seem like SS. It is the same content that used to be talked about in the older days of this forum.
However, the average guy who comes in here, doesn't work on his game
One issue with 'game' is that you must keep it habit. If you stop it for a month or two (due to whatever else in life), you will find yourself rusty real quick. It is a learned habits. Game doesn't age well.
and after reading one of your posts leaves and decides to "focus on himself" has NOT PUT IN THE WORK.
You work on yourself. It will never age. You will carry it with you all the time and it will be with you wherever you go. You will use it in every circumstance, all the time, throughout the rest of your life.
One problem is that the DJ Bible has displaced time from the posts. The posts were written when they were for a reason. Take the "Kill that Desperation" one. That was when the board was full of 'how to' tips. How to do your hair. What clothes to wear. How to speak to her. How to hold your hands. That is why the 'mindset' thing came about when everything was tricks and tactics.
The 'Be a Man' post came when the forum was talking about having passion in life and all. If you look at them how they are, I can see why one would think they are for a 'grand mission'. But most of my posts came BEFORE the DJ bible and weren't meant to be floating texts detattached from any context.
There are skills to be developed and I think you, Pook, try to trick guys into thinking otherwise by writing things that attempt to make them feel on top of the world and on some sort of grand mission.
My posts were written TO me. They weren't intended for any audience except for Pook. You guys are just overhearing me talk to myself (it's a reason why I'm not an 'advice giver'. I like thinking about my problems, not others.
But human nature is universal so my problems are often someone else's problems.
It's another reason why I think guys when they slip from AFC/Nice Guy into Don Juans do the best posts. They realize their own problems. But when you fix your problems and stay here, you see other problems in your life (financial, educational, etc.) rather than women so it becomes hard to 'think' of women problems again.
If someone said to me, "I can't even talk to women!" I wouldn't know what to say to him. I've been there but I can't relate to his problem. I used to analyze everything I did with women. Now I can't even understand why I, or anyone, would analyze.

I've seen you lay out many philosophies. Check out the "Be a man" thread, or the "Kill that desperation" or many of your replies to questions.
What philosophy is in "Be a Man"? Admitting that you have a penis is not a philosophy.
The "Kill that Desperation" thread is a mess that goes on for years. But at the end, I say: "No philosophy."
In fact, looking back at all my problems WAS philosophy. Why could I just BE?
Juggler says,
Your time will be much better spent on
finding your values and packaging them to sell. If you are into one night stands then get good at explaining why these are good. If you want an open relationship, get good at selling that idea. If you have a bi-sexual girlfriend, get good at selling the idea of a hot threesome to other women.
Whatever it is you want, whatever your values are, become powerful at talking about them.
Ho hum. Its stuff that has been said on this forum for years. You've GOT to have values, first of all. A man with no values is no man at all.
I still don't see anything new with Juggler. We always knew that you had to have convictions before you walk out the door, that you had to have a sense of self. Women are creatures that link. If there is nothing to link to, no strength, no honesty, she moves on.
The idea that women take your values
one of the central themes of Weineger.
Check out this from an advice column of Camille Paglia:
Dear Camille:
Two buddies of mine who live thousands of miles from each other were unceremoniously dumped a couple of years ago by their girlfriends. Right after chucking their excess baggage, both girls adopted all the significant traits of their former boyfriends. One went from being a pampered trust-fund baby who read Woolf and subscribed to trendy political causes to being an ardent backpacker in love with Conrad. The other changed her major from environmental science to classical anthropology and philosophy and her music from Depeche Mode to Lime Spiders. You get the picture. Why would these women become the men they no longer love?
- Musing in Kankakee
Dear Musing:
I am stunned by this colorful evidence of the ancient principle of female vampirism, recorded everywhere in world mythology. Having sucked men dry, like marrow from a bone, woman calmly sails on to her next adventure. Sublime!
Let us NOT underestimate the power of women.
