By the Shogun Method team
Action Limit: The level of Desirability a man must reach for a woman to agree to his request. This can vary depending on the desired outcome, with higher Action Limits for greater levels of commitment.
Ambiguity: In the context of Shogun Method, ambiguity is used to create intrigue and romance. By being vague and leaving things open to interpretation, a man can encourage a woman to fill in the gaps with her own fantasies, making him more alluring.
Anchoring: A technique where a specific touch or gesture is associated with a particular emotion. When a woman experiences a positive emotion, the man anchors that emotion to himself. Negative emotions are anchored to external factors, ideally to her current boyfriend if she has one. This is the basis of the Shogun Method Boyfriend Destroyer.
Anti-Demand: A tactic where a man implies he doesn’t want something a woman might desire, making her more likely to pursue it. This plays on a woman’s tendency to resist direct demands.
Attraction Buttons: Specific traits or behaviors that trigger attraction in women, often unconsciously. Shogun Method aims to identify and manipulate these buttons to “brute-force” a woman’s attraction to a man.
Attraction Development Model: A model outlining the process of building attraction in a woman. It utilizes a cyclical process of ENTICE and REPEL actions to move a man up the Desirability Scale. ENTICE strategies employ Implanted Commands, while REPEL strategies utilize Devalidation.
Black Rose Sequence: The most advanced Shogun Sequence in Shogun Method, presented as the ultimate emotional Enslavement tool. It combines Fractionation, Anchoring, Alter Ego creation, and Transmutation to create a separate, controllable identity within a woman.
Blotching: A technique used to emphasize Implanted Commands, making them stand out in a sentence. Blotching can involve changes in volume, pitch, speed, touch, facial expressions, pauses, or head movements.
Boyfriend Destroyer: A set of techniques within the Shogun Method specifically aimed at breaking up a woman’s existing relationship so that she becomes available.
Calibration: The ability to read and interpret a woman’s verbal and non-verbal cues accurately to understand her emotional state and adjust one’s approach accordingly.
Cliffhanger: A storytelling technique that ends a story abruptly, creating a sense of suspense and a desire to know what happens next. Used in Shogun Method to maintain interest and encourage a woman to seek further interaction.
Cold Reading: Pretending to have special knowledge or insight into a person’s life, often using vague or general statements that could apply to anyone. Used to create a sense of mystery and authority.
Concealing of Intentions: The principle that a man must hide his true intentions to be successful. Direct approaches trigger resistance, so covert manipulation is essential. This forms the basis of Shogun Method’s Second Precondition.
Conversational Hooks: Deliberately leaving gaps or creating intrigue in a story to prompt questions and encourage a woman to invest more in the interaction.
Contextual Rapport: Rapport that exists only within a specific setting or situation. Outside of that context, the level of rapport diminishes.
Devalidation: Techniques used to repel a woman intentionally by creating doubt or breaking rapport with a woman. This counterintuitive approach can trigger a woman’s desire to chase or prove herself. Devalidation tactics include using mixed signals, negative body language, and strategically creating break points in the interaction.
Desirability Scale: A scale from 1 to 10 measuring how desirable a man is perceived to be by a woman. The goal of Shogun Method is to move a man up this scale, reaching the Action Limit for the desired outcome.
Emotional Roller Coaster: The core principle of Fractionation, involving rapidly shifting a woman between positive and negative emotional states. This creates an addiction-like attachment as she seeks the emotional highs provided by the man.
Emptiness Sequence: A Shogun Sequence designed to elicit and amplify a woman’s subconscious need for meaning and purpose, presenting the man as the solution to this existential void.
Endpoint Orientation: Shogun Method emphasizes focusing on the desired outcome and working backward to determine the necessary steps. Each technique and strategy serves a specific purpose in reaching the ultimate goal of pair bonding in the IRAE Model and, optionally, Enslavement.
Enslavement: The final stage of Shogun Method, aimed at securing long-term control over a woman by making her emotionally dependent on a man. This involves techniques like Segregation and the Black Rose Sequence. Shogun Method’s idea of enslavement is emotional, not physical or coercive.
Enslavement, Not Seduction: The key thesis that undergirds the Shogun Method philosophy. The endgame of pair bonding between a man and a woman is emotional enslavement, not seduction.
ENTICE: Actions within the Attraction Development Model that generate attraction. This is primarily achieved through the use of Implanted Commands.
Esoteric Beliefs: Uncommon or unconventional beliefs that are not widely accepted, such as those related to spirituality, the supernatural, or alternative philosophies. Shogun Method techniques, like Higher Powers, exploit these beliefs to create intrigue and connection.
Flaws In The Female Mind: Weaknesses or vulnerabilities in female psychology that make women susceptible to manipulation. Shogun Method techniques exploit these flaws, which include a reliance on intuition over logic and a tendency to resist direct commands.
Forced Familiarity: A common mistake where a man tries too hard to create a sense of familiarity with a woman, often coming across as needy or insincere.
Fractionation: A core technique of Shogun Method involving inducing alternating states of happiness and sadness in a woman to create an addiction-like attachment. This can be achieved through storytelling, conversational prompts, or changing locations.
Higher Powers: A set of three mini Shogun Sequences designed to quickly generate Intrigue by tapping into a woman’s esoteric beliefs. These include “Psychic Reading”, “Palm Reading”, and “Passion Binding.”
Hypnotic State/Trance: A state of heightened suggestibility where a person is more receptive to suggestions and commands. Fractionation techniques aim to induce a trance-like state in a woman, making her more susceptible to the man’s influence.
Imagination is Reality: For women, imagined experiences can be as emotionally powerful as real ones. Shogun Method techniques leverage this by guiding women to visualize desired scenarios and feelings. A woman falls in love with her imagined version of a man, not the real man.
Implanted Command: A phrase embedded within a sentence that, if spoken alone, would be a direct command. These commands bypass conscious awareness and influence a woman’s subconscious mind, making her more likely to comply.
Intrigue: The first stage of the IRAE Model, focused on capturing a woman’s attention. This is achieved by creating mystery, curiosity, and a desire to know more.
Intrigue Ping: A technique used to interrupt a woman’s train of thought and bring her back into the present moment. It involves introducing a random question, statement, or interjection to disrupt her “Cold” cognitive mode and make her more receptive to suggestion.
Intrigue Story: A story designed to capture a woman’s attention and generate intrigue. It typically involves the man as the central character and incorporates elements of mystery, danger, and unresolved conflict.
IRAE Model: The four-stage model of Shogun Method, standing for Intrigue, Rapport, Attraction, and Enslavement. These stages are followed sequentially to lead a woman through the process of pair bonding between a woman and a man.
Jekyll & Hyde Pattern: A pattern that plays on a woman’s belief that men have a “good” and “bad” side. By demonstrating both, a man can create intrigue and make himself seem more complex and alluring.
Kinesthetic: Relating to the sense of touch. Shogun Method techniques utilize touch strategically to create anchors, amplify emotions, and build rapport.
Magic Locket Sequence: A lengthy Shogun Sequence that uses storytelling and spatial fractionation to create an emotional connection between a woman and a man. The sequence involves a locket that grants wishes and is anchored to the man, making her think of him whenever she wears it.
Mirroring: A technique where a man subtly imitates a woman’s body language, tonality, and behavior to build rapport and create a sense of connection.
Mixed Signals: A Devalidation tactic that involves alternating between expressions of interest and disinterest, creating confusion and making a man seem less attainable.
Multiple Sub Plots: A storytelling technique that uses several interconnected storylines to maintain interest and create a sense of complexity. Applied to conversation, this can give the illusion that the man and woman have much to talk about, deepening the connection.
Negative Body Language: A Devalidation tactic that involves using closed-off or disinterested body language to repel a woman, creating a challenge and making her work harder for the man’s attention.
Pain Limit: The level of emotional discomfort or distress a woman is willing to tolerate in relation to her interaction with a man. Understanding a woman’s pain points and thresholds can be used to manipulate her emotions and actions.
Passion Transfer: A technique where a man elicits and intensifies a woman’s existing passion for a hobby or activity and then redirects that passion towards himself.
Perfect Boyfriend Sequence: A Shogun Sequence designed to get a woman to imagine her ideal boyfriend, highlighting the man’s positive qualities and making her current boyfriend seem inadequate.
Persephone: The ideal archetype of a woman to be created during the identity replacement stage in the Black Rose Sequence.
Prophesy: A technique where a man predicts a negative outcome for a woman if she pursues other options, discouraging her from seeking alternatives and reinforcing his own value.
Pseudo Repeat: A rapport-building technique where a man repeats back what a woman has just said, using her exact words and tonality. This creates a sense of being heard and understood.
Rapport: The second stage of the IRAE Model, focused on building trust and connection with a woman. Shogun Method emphasizes control and eliciting a woman’s values during this stage.
REPEL: Actions within the Attraction Development Model designed to create distance and make a man seem less available, triggering a woman’s desire to chase. This is primarily achieved through Devalidation tactics.
Repulsion Buttons: Traits or behaviors that trigger negative emotions in a woman, leading to a loss of attraction.
Rollercoaster Technique: A storytelling method that alternates between conflict, resolution, plateau, and renewed conflict to create an emotional rollercoaster for a woman. This is used in Fractionation to heighten emotional intensity.
Segregation: A tactic used in the Enslavement stage to isolate a woman from external influences, making her more dependent on the man. This can be achieved through Shared Experiences, Shared Secrets, and inducing Jealousy.
Self-Seducing Woman Hypothesis: The idea that an emotionally balanced woman is naturally inclined to pursue connection and intimacy, making her more susceptible to Mind Control techniques.
Shared Experiences: A Segregation tactic that involves creating memorable experiences with a woman, strengthening the bond and differentiating the man from others in her life.
Shared Secrets: A Segregation tactic that creates a sense of intimacy and trust by sharing confidential information with a woman, reinforcing a unique bond and implying she is special.
Shared Universe Sequence: A Shogun Sequence designed to create a sense of intimacy and exclusivity by establishing a shared world that only the man and woman belong to. This strengthens the bond and can be used to exclude her current boyfriend, furthering a Boyfriend Destroyer strategy.
Shogun: A practitioner of Shogun Method, and importantly, an adherer to the Three Preconditions.
Shogun Method: A system of Mind Control strategies crafted by Derek Rake to trigger a series of emotional reactions in a woman to make her fall in love with a man. It is based on exploiting flaws in the female mind and emphasizes a four-step approach to achieve specific goals: the IRAE Model. The primary thesis in Shogun Method is that love and attraction is not enough for a long-lasting pair bond; emotional enslavement is the endgame.
Shogun Sequence: A structured script or verbal routine designed to evoke specific emotions and reactions in a woman. Sequences are tailored to different stages of Shogun Method and aim to manipulate her subconscious mind.
Skin Deep Sequence: A Shogun Sequence aimed at beautiful women who are often complimented on their looks. It creates intrigue by suggesting the man sees beyond her appearance and appreciates her inner qualities.
Social Calibration System: A set of ten signals that help a man gauge his progress in building rapport with a woman. These signals include changes in breathing, body language, facial expressions, swallowing rate, tonality, blinking rate, pupil dilation, skin coloration, and responses to touch.
Strawberry Fields Sequence: A Shogun Sequence designed to elicit a woman’s passions and then intensify those feelings through visualization and touch.
Submerged Needs: Unconscious desires or needs that a woman may not be aware of. The Shogun Method aims to identify and exploit these needs, such as a need for meaning, connection, or adventure.
Three Preconditions: The three necessary requirements to join the Shogun Method brotherhood and acquire the knowledge.
Transmutation: A technique used in the Black Rose Sequence that combines visualization, kinesthetic touch, and suggestive language to create and intensify a woman’s emotional state. The goal is to associate these feelings with a specific symbol or identity, ultimately leading to the creation of an Alter Ego.
