As a group of men interested in the art & science of seduction, are we so lacking in integrity and so unscrupulous in our pursuit of a lay that we simply don't give a damn about the destruction we cause in other peoples' lives?
BOOM. *Mic Drop*Another way to say it is that learning Game at a high level gives us great power, and 'with great power comes great responsibility.'
Z Vaunswa said:I'll chime in on this one.
I don't mean to disrespect anyone's moral standings, nor do I mean to attack anyone in any way. I do, however, want to discuss my own views on the matters like these, so take it with a grain of salt.
For me, I'm a man who draws the line at "I have a boyfriend," or "I have a husband." When a girl verbalizes that to me, I'm waving my flag and retreating out of respect for an already existing relationship. Situations are different when I sleep with a girl and find out she has a boyfriend after the fact. BUT! I do not push forward intentionally knowing a girl is already committed, unless circumstances exist:
-She's being abused
-She's not allowed to leave
-He's substantially damaged her will
And on no other terms will I push forward, and here's why:
* I know the pain, and dangers of being cheated on, and finding out that someone you love cheated. If it wasn't for my willpower, I would have probably committed suicide after experiencing that heartbreak.
* Logically speaking, when you have abundance, it's easier to move on to another woman anyway, unless the circumstances above exist. Logically, married women and committed women give more challenges to us as seducers.
* The personal effects (for both the woman and her committed partner) are enough to cause dramatic repercussions in the future, such as leading the husband to never trust women again, or leading the woman to hate herself for what she did at your hands. I've seen all of these happens, and lost a close friend whose wife cheated because a man took advantage of a moment of weakness she had, and he exploited it.
As a student of seduction, and as a student of social skills/conversation/relationships, it's much easier to spare the temporary pleasure than it is to live with the repercussions of causing a woman to cheat.
As pleasure goes, sleeping with a married woman: that pleasure will not last, and your happiness and joy levels will return to homeostasis relatively soon. So, for me, I see no reason in destroying an existing relationship, when both a) the repercussions can and likely will be severe and b)abundance allows us to move on to easier women who provide the same pleasure.
To re-iterate, I don't mean to offend anyone, and I don't mean to devalue anyone's existing morals, or ideologies. I just wanted to give my input on the matter.

Richard's position—that if she tells him she's attached, he leaves off—is perfectly tenable and internally consistent. But I don't see why the woman should be prohibited from enjoying intimacy with a man who takes a different position, and I just don't like to think that as a "fourth party" I would want to come in and criticize Byronic for an imagined offense to a man he doesn't know and has no obligation toward. Like Franco said, you can't steal her because he doesn't own her in the first place.
Im curious.....have Any of you boys ever been married?
Z Vaunswa said:Exactly that,
When a girl is in an abusive/degrading/ or otherwise bad relationship, I feel a moral obligation to help them overcome it because I can't stand to see guys abuse women, or see people's potentials being opressed.
My first girlfriend actually, I helped her out of her controlling relationship, and she fell for me in the process.

Nope, only 18 years old. Closest I was to marriage, was seriously discussing marrying my first girlfriend who I felt was sure to stay in my future forever, but no ring on any fingers as of yet.
If all goes well with my GF hopefully somedayIm curious.....have Any of you boys ever been married?
Boom. We as seducers know what we are doing. Key word MANIPULATE. DONT BE THAT FUCKING GUY!! THERE ARE 3.5 billion women on this earth. 51% are single that leaves about 1.75 billion single women in the world. TAKE YOUR PICK OF THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!now, take that girl who otherwise would want and would be exclusive to that single guy, and add a moment of weakness, add an experienced seducer who can manipulate her, add any number of things then think about the repercussions of that mistake on her part.
DrexelScott said:I do not think the male is to blame for honestly portraying himself to a married woman who chose to sleep with him.
*MIC DROP*Thus, the decision is his, making her think it's hers.
EXACTLY THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO SAY!!! this is why we get pissed off when we read stuff (Dont mean to call out a certain someones past post) when someone talks about escalating with a woman who has a boyfriend (say in a bar or else where) who has just gottin into an argument or is mad at their boyfriend and looking for some sort of "out" or "revenge" SHE IS IN A MOMENT OF WEAKENESS!! AND WE AS SEDUCERS KNOW EXACTLY WHICH BUTTONS TO PUSH TO GET WHAT WE DESIRE. Its not 100% fool Proof but our odds are much better than the average man. AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME SHE REGRETS HER DECISION. THIS EQUALS TO YOUR ACTIONS HURTING A WOMAN. yes you could say she is responsible for her own actions as well. In which case she is. But she is not in a 100% "clear" state of mindA man who takes advantage of women in moments of weakness is not a seducer--he's a bully.
I by name means am suggesting that women are objects. (dont know where you got this idea) I am simply stating that we as seducers have better odds at getting what we want and taking advantage of situations than an average man in the same/similar circumstances.The way you have described seduction is, at its core, an objectification of women.
The answere to this question is simple and it has essentially been stated by me before. I am not saying that we do not get rejected. In fact it happens alot at first. And as your skill level rises (not to toot my own horn, but to the skill level of you, myself and Z) you get rejected alot less because you know your process, you know how things work, you know which women you can get with, and who are going to be more open to your charms. Id go as far as to say that at my peak seduction skills (before my relationship of course) That I would bring home and escalate with 4/5 women that I would get on a date, and 3/5 women whose numbers I got I could get out on a date. I was more of an advocate of the "quality approach" over "quantity approach" makes for alot more success and I am not going to go into detal about that on this thread.If seducers are such expert manipulators that women cannot resist our charms....why does every one of us get rejected more than we succeed?
It is very much my opinion that Game only "works" with women who are VERY consciously

Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the perception or behavior of others through underhanded, deceptive, or even abusive tactics. By advancing the interests of the manipulator, often at another's expense, such methods could be considered exploitative, abusive, devious and deceptive
Don't lie to yourself and say there would be any situation where you'd be fine with your wife/gf cheating on you! So be a man, not an animal and control your urges! There are a billion other women out there to pick from. If you're actually good at pick-up it shouldn't be an issue. Plus turning down that girl in a relationship will just make her want it more when she's single.If you're not OK with some other guy fucking your wife, then don't fuck someone else's wife.
