_TYPE:_
The man who likes to use an appeal to reason to gain his ends.
He is untrained, but possesses a certain native subtlety.
_SUBJECT:_
Small and thirty, overworked, with a face that has been
prettier, but which could be much less pretty.
_APPARATUS:_
Excursion boat.
_REMARKS:_
This is a system which is based on the simplest and most
atavistic of human emotions—jealousy. Reflection upon this fact
may deter from its use a number of my students who would regard
such an easy and impersonal victory as an affront to their pride
and self-confidence as first-rate seducers. It is true that the
success of the method is much more the result of the subject’s
internal conflict than of any remarkable attributes on the part
of the student. But it is up to the seducer to be there at the
psychological moment to suggest action. It takes a large amount
of tact and self-control to bring the situation to the point of
this suggestion without arousing the suspicions of the subject.
It is not too easy. Do not treat it with contempt.
