These routines involve cold reading a girl or set. If you tell a girl something about herself, which may be a statement that is so vague it would apply to most people, she'll get turned on...big time. Some famous examples are The Cube and Strawberry Fields. Other forms are astrology and for some added kino, palm reading. These tend to work best when in deep comfort. To explain how you know any of these routines, you can say 'I read this in Vogue...you know, my friends are always leaving their magazines at my place!' This subcommunicates preselection, since guy friends generally don't read Vogue. You can even throw in a joke about how perfumy they all smell.
Note that while you can interpret anything strictly as presented here, it is often best to create your own interpretation in ways that will move seduction forward. So rather than cold read a girl and say 'I bet you're difficult to get to know,' you may consider labeling her with attributes that can help you, such as 'You seem adventurous,' or 'You go after what you want,' or 'You're very non-judgmental' or 'You are passionate and love being touched.' Often when you qualify a girl with positive traits such as these, she will try to adhere to this characterization.
Strawberry Fields (Maniac High)
This is a game to find out some things about how chicks see sex. It is a good state transitioner - from fluff to sexually charged conversation.
Intro: Hey, lets play a game! Imagine you are alone in a field, and see a strawberry field in front of you with tasty strawberries. There is a fence around the field. How high is it? (= how easy is this girl to take sex) Now you are in the strawberry field, how many strawberries do you take? (=how many partners that person wants) Ok, after you have finished enjoying the strawberries, how do you feel about the farmer who's field you took them from? (= how you feel to that person after fucking them)
4 Questions Game
'These questions will tell you a lot about yourself -- it's amazing how it works, you might even find things about yourself you didn't even know. I'm not sure that YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THAT.'
The 4 questions are:
1. Imagine yourself in a white room everything is white -- wall, ceiling, floor. Describe your experience.
2. What is your favorite color ..describe it , what feeling does it have? 3. What is your favorite animal.. Why? Describe it.
4. Imagine yourself near a large body of water .. describe your experience? What do you do?'
Answers:
1. That is your perception of death and dying.
2. You see yourself with the qualities that you answered to the question. 3. This is how people see you, with those qualities.
4. That is your view of sex.
Now obviously you have to probe a little deeper when asking the questions so you can guide them into giving you the answers with enough depth to analyze it and give them a core in-depth answer. Now because the first few questions are very fluffy and general it's easy to get it right and get them amazed at how accurate the answers are so by the time you get onto the sex one (no. 4), you have got a huge rapport. They feel like you know them an a deeper level. So when you get to question 4 because you have been right for the last pacing statements about who they are as a person on a deep level and I reframed that they may be surprised and find out things about themselves that they didn't know themselves. This opens the gate to be able to fill this last statement with leading assumptions instead of pacing and they will totally agree, and obviously this is where you take the opportunity to lay it on thick about their sexual belongings, desires, etc. Here is an example to clarify things:
Imagine yourself in a white room. Everything is white -- wall, ceiling, floor. Describe your experience. Her: Peace, calm, relaxed
What is you favorite color ..describe it. What feeling does it have. Red, fiery, stands out, passionate
What is your favorite animal.. Why? Describe it. Dolphin is smart, free, fun, cute.
Imagine yourself near a large body of water .. describe your experience? What do you do? I jump in and swim
Answers
That is your perception of death and dying you feel at peace you feel calm & relaxed.
That is how you see yourself: passionate, fiery, you feel you stand out in the crowd.
People see you as free, smart, cute, fun.
That is your view of sex, love, excitement, etc. When you are with that certain guy and you just know deep inside that this person knows you at a deeper and a much more intimate level. You just find yourself wanting to just let go to all the passion and excitement and the deep connection you can experience.
The Cube (Organic)
The cube is a game of questions and symbols. It is five simple questions of imagination that will allow you to lead a woman deeper and deeper into a seduction.
For the origins of the Cube a person could read through The Secrets of the Cube, by Annie Gottlieb. But, the pick up artist will find that he doesn’t need to understand the traditional use of the cube. He only needs to know how to use this secret seduction weapon.
Now, the Cube can be used at anytime in a seduction…
It can be used as a playful game to build attraction (by teasing a girl for her answers and making your interpretations funny and unrealistic.) And, it can also be used in the deepest phases of seduction to lead a woman’s mind into her sexual desires (by making your interpretations sexual and erotic). However, what we are going to focus on here is using the cube to build trust and comfort. Most pick up artists will agree that the cube serves the greatest purpose for developing this kind of real connection with a woman you just met. It starts fun and playful as a game, and it ends by leading the conversation into deeper and deeper levels of rapport. Building this type of rapport is the real strength of the Cube.
The Design of the Cube
By now, it should be obvious that the details of the game are not nearly as important as how you play. The structure will have many variations, and everyone will play it differently. And that’s fine. Notice, the power of the
Cube isn’t to “be correct” or to give “the right interpretation.” - There are no right or wrong Cubes. You can structure it how you like, and find what works best for you.
“Have you ever done the cube?... Ok… I'll ask you a set of questions, and when I'm done I'll know everything about you. Are you ready? Do you have a good imagination? …Good.”
“Now, imagine in front of you is a landscape” (I’ll usually gesture with my hand for them to imagine it in front of them). “And in the landscape there is a cube. Notice what size is it, what color is it? What is it made of? Where is it?
“Ok, next you see a ladder. Notice, where is it in relation to the cube? What is it made of? What size is it?
“Next there are flowers. Where are they? How many? What do they look like? What color are they?
“Next, there is a horse. What does it look like? Where is it? What is it doing?
“And, last there is a storm. Where is it? What is it doing? What does it look like?”
When she has visualized the entire image, then you can tell her the meanings.
They are: Cube = Her
Ladder = Her aspirations Flowers = Her friends Horse = Her ideal lover
Storm = Her challenges and problems
You can use a desert or a movie theater instead of a landscape. You can introduce it by saying “I’ll know more about you than even your best friends know.” Or “have you ever been cubed?” You can have her close her eyes, or draw it out.
Some people may also use different meanings. (Ladder = family, or coworkers, etc…) It’s all fine. Just remember, you want to talk about things that will invoke the proper emotions in her, so avoid talking about things like children or enemies.
Unraveling the Cube
So, it is one thing to know the rules of the Cube. It’s one thing to know the meanings, and the images. But, the question remains: “What do I do? Just make stuff up?”
Well, what DO you say?
* You can be vague and use generalities – Just talk about women in general, and this will still have a powerful effect because she will relate to it. And, she will realize that you understand people, you understand women, and you understand her.
Example: You’re cube is xxxxxx. You are a very sensitive person. Probably you are a very good judge of character and you can tune into those times when people just want something from you. While other times you can really feel when a person is being sincere with you. (This describes any socially aware woman.)
* You can ask clarifying questions. Ask her, and she might tell you exactly what something means, doing your job for you. Ask her how she feels about the objects, or ask how they relate to each other.
Example:
Her: “My horse is leaning against the cube.”
You: “Really? Why is it leaning against the cube?” Her: “Well, it’s just not strong enough.”
You: “Oh, I see. It seems like the men in your life haven’t been strong enough. You need a man who you can just look into his eyes and listen to him talk, and you know that he is strong… Etc… etc...”
* When you find aspects of the interpretation that really fit her, go into greater detail. Tell stories from your life that relate to her, or give her examples of how she might experience it in her life.
Example:
“You are a very creative person, but you’re not at a point in your life right now where you are really using your creative abilities. It reminds me of how I felt a couple of years ago. I was working in this job that just wasn’t creative, and I…. Etc…”
* Use things that you already know about her. Example:
I met two girls the other night. One was bouncing around dancing, and the other (the one I liked) was standing calmer. Later, I ran the cube on her, and she said that her cube was blue. I said “A blue cube means that you are often calm and relaxed. And, sometimes your friends even come to you just to absorb your calm energy when their lives are more hectic.” Of course, she loved it.
* And… you can…. use your… intuition. Yep. Go for it. Be like the enlightened master who has become one with his weapon and allow the force to flow through you. You might not only surprise her, but yourself too. * Keep your statements positive. In general, you want to phrase everything as a positive statement. If you really want to tell a woman that she has low self-esteem and that her life is out of control and hopeless, go ahead. But don’t come asking me why she was suddenly turned off and depressed! It may take some creativity to keep things positive, but it can be done.
I’ll give you an example. If she says she doesn’t like the cube and she doesn’t think it belongs in the scene, you might be thinking “oh crap, she hates herself?” No. You can tell her “well, when people see you they often want you to fit you into a category with defined boundaries and hard edges, but that’s not who you are. You are independent and when you find yourself being put into a box, you know that it’s not where you belong.” * One trick for keeping the interpretation positive is to interpret her ideal as being the opposite of what she describes. For example: a weak and sickly horse means that she has had too many weak men in her life, and she really needs one that is strong and healthy.
* Add lots of Kino and strong Eye Contact. When you are bonding with a woman on this level, it is important to keep enhancing this experience by getting physically intimate with her.
* Take advantage of the horse. It is a great time to demonstrate that you know what women want. If her horse isn’t ideal, then tell her it is an image of what she has attracted to her in the past, and what she really wants is actually the opposite. As you describe her ideal man, and get her thinking about it. Look into her eyes and take on that character as yourself. She will naturally start to see you as that man.
* Burst the tension now and then with a little cocky and playful comment. By making a joke or teasing her, you will keep it fun and keep her interested. Just be careful because she may be in a very vulnerable state to be sharing with you, so don’t over do it. An example: “The Cube means that…. (pause) …. You want my body. (smile)”
* Start the interpretation with a bold (but irrefutable) statement about who she is and where she is in her life. This can be powerful and will demonstrate your authority and understanding.
* Use all of the little parts to get a bigger picture of her. Try to get a broad sense of who she is as a person, and then you can use that understanding to lead your interpretation.
* Lead her into emotional states. Using descriptive languaging, you can get her thinking and feeling on a deeper level. One way to do this is to take a general statement like “you are adventurous.” And then go on to describe
what it’s like to be adventurous and how it feels. “You are adventurous. You know, like when you are in the middle of an adventure you really feel alive. As the excitement builds, you become focused on what you’re doing, and you get totally wrapped up in what is happening…etc.”
* Share with her, and get into the state yourself. If you get into a vulnerable state and reveal things to her, she will follow your lead. As part of this you may want to relate stories that are meaningful to you.
* Share your own Cube. Do the cube on yourself and be ready to share your answers with her if she asks.
* When getting started, it may help to memorize a few ideas that you can use every time. For example, you can always talk about women’s intuition, or how she wants a strong confident man. As you do the cube more and more, you will begin to develop your own interpretations that always get good responses, and you can have these in store for every time you use the cube.
* Work with her, and go with what she says. You can use everything that she gives you, no matter what she says. If she says that the horse has a great cock, tell her that her ideal lover will be a great fuck. Go with it.
* Set the mood so that she feels good sharing. There is no need to rush the cube or feel awkward in anyway. Use your calm trust building tonality, and keep her feeling comfortable.
* Find commonalities and develop your connection with her. Since you are learning about each other, this is a great time to find out what you have in common.
* Don’t fall into the trap of being the entertainer. Don’t proceed to cube all of her friends, and her little sister. You’re not her novelty psychic friend. * Practice to get better. The more you do it, the better you will get, because you will find that many responses are very common. Cube your friends, your mom, your mailman, whoever…
* Tell her that her cube is unique, and you can even say “well, usually, that would mean this… but with you, I think it’s a little different.” or… “Wow, that’s such an interesting image.” Then, she will really feel special, and she will think that you are giving her a very special gift.
*Don’t reveal everything. Leave parts out, or hint that there is something more. Always leave her wanting more.
Further interpretation:
THE CUBE
Represents the woman's conception of herself. A huge cube covering most of the scenery means she's got an inflated ego, a sense of high self- importance. Other features of the cube could mean:
Tiny cube => feels small, insignificant, ignored, modest Cube resting on the ground => generally has a firm foothold on reality Cube far away in the distance => Feels left behind by life Cube flying in the air or levitated => daydreamer, imaginative but unrealistic Cube partly above the horizon line => ambitious Cube below the horizon => not very ambitious Cube resting on its edge => metastable life, perhaps? Cube made of solid material => good sense of self-worth, well-grounded personality Cube made of gold => Thinks of herself as extremely precious Cube made of glass or transparent cube => Considers herself pure Cube full of slimy stuff => Hates herself completely Cube hollow inside => feels hollow, unfulfilled in the extreme [interesting example: one woman know very well imagined the Rubic's cube, being twisted and turned by a child. I was not surprised because she has a sever persecution complex and total paranoia, considers everyone else stupid and childish (has a holier-than-thou mentality), feels attacked by the world, and is an emotional basketcase]
THE LADDER
Represents her close social support structure (friends; family in some cases). Long ladder with many rungs => big social circle, has many friends, outgoing personality, sociable Ladder made of some odd material => feels her friends are weird, very different from normal people Ladder with few rungs => has few close friends Ladder in a less than good condition => believes people around her are fucked up Ladder far away from the cube => Does not let people get too close to herself; keeps aloof, has a hard shell around herself Ladder leaning against cube => Feels she does a lot of things for her friends, supports them more than they support her, feels she has some codependent people around her Ladder on top of cube => Feels her friends/family are overbearing, feels oppressed by them Ladder much bigger than cube => feels small in her social circle\ Ladder supporting cube (like, ladder under the cube) => feels her close associates
