If no obstacles face you, you must create them.
Seduction requires obstacle.
Ideal Lovers have an aesthetic sensibility that they apply
to romance.
Casanova was perhaps the most successful seducer in
history; few women could resist him. 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. He made himself the Ideal Lover.
But appeal to their better selves, to a higher standard of
beauty, and they will hardly notice that they have been
seduced. Make them feel elevated, lofty, spiritual, and
your power over them will be limitless.
Talleyrand simply held up a mirror to Napoleon and let
him glimpse that possibility. People are always
vulnerable to insinuations like this, which stroke their
vanity almost everyone’s weak spot. 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.
