PUA Tips: Gaslighting – A Manipulation Technique

gaslighting pua picture

F-design PUA pictureor many of us, when we think of dating, we like to think of it in a light-hearted way. We think about everything we do as being harmless and just trying to have fun while getting laid in the process.

We never really think about what kind of power we can have over people or women in particular. What I’m getting at is that getting in the game will give you a newfound ability that many of us never thought we could ever have. An ability to change someone’s life forever – maybe for the better or maybe, just maybe, for the worse.

What I’m talking about is having the ability to change someone’s reality. Having the ability to get inside a woman’s head and convincing her to think the way you want her to think.

Believe it or not this is very real and although not every woman is susceptible you can still have a big impact on many. Even the most beautiful women if caught off guard can easily become influenced.

Now what I am foreshadowing is a little technique called gaslighting. Today I am going to explain exactly what this is and how some may use it to get their way with others.

There is much debate to whether this is ethical or not. I choose to stay neutral and will plead the 5th when it comes to that debate. Nevertheless I feel that it is good to be educated on things like this because we never know when someone may be trying to pull the same wool over our eyes.

So moving on…

What is gaslighting?

In short this is a technique where the perpetrator attempts to change the targets reality through various means. One common avenue is with debate or what may seem like simple suggestions.

At first they will tell you what they think about you and maybe imply that you should change something about yourself. Most people will usually find it humorous and probably laugh it off. Many of us will see this person as just being ridiculous and not pay their comments any mind.

After awhile we might end up spending more time with this person for whatever reasons. They could be hitting you up to hang out, maybe they’re a regular customer at your job or even a co-worker. In time that person will keep bringing up similar suggestions in hopes of persuading a target to do what they wish.

They will give logical reasons and over time it may even start to seem as though what they’re saying makes sense. If a person isn’t careful then they might just give in to what the perpetrator is asking.

“When something is repeated over and over again then it may be mistaken as truth.”

Who is susceptible?

Anyone can be susceptible depending on how well the perpetrator earns their trust. However the most common types are a combination of people pleasers, those obsessed with trying to do the right thing or people with a lack of self-esteem.

Regardless it can be anyone who falls for this. It all depends on how much power one allows the perpetrator to have over them. If you value someone or look up to them in some way, then you yourself could very well become a victim.

How does one apply it to pickup?

If someone is good with words or has a great sense of humor then they will find themselves getting on people’s good sides more often than most. Once that level of comfort, or trust, has been built then the perpetrator’s target is much more willing to listen to what they have to say.

Should you apply it?

That is entirely up to you, but I wouldn’t. I have found myself in many situations over the years where I could have applied this and had my own personal human pet. However I am not that kind of person.

This is the closest thing to mind control that I’ve experienced. I won’t list any how-to examples for the sake of those that may become victim to it; but I am sure if one looks hard enough and applies what they learn appropriately then you will get the desired result. But before you do so just ask yourself this…

What would you do if your victim committed suicide? Would you be able to forgive yourself if you were partly responsible?

Believe it or not people are fragile.

How to protect yourself if used on you?

I would say that no contact is the best path to take. As long as you give this person a chance to speak then you are potentially at their mercy. If you have some attraction to them, then you might just find yourself in a position where they have hijacked your mind. Next thing you know they have you doing all types of ridiculous things for them.

So it’s wise to cut off all contact. You are doing yourself a big favor. There is no good that can come from this kind of person. They are just going to play with your emotions, have you spiralling into a deep dark depression and may even ruin your life.

Last but not least…

This is quite an interesting subject and I enjoy writing about things like this. Gaslighting is nothing new. This technology has been around for years and there are even traces of it in modern day media.

It’s not just applicable to one certain individual it’s also used on groups. The Nazi’s used this technique to convince the under-educated masses in Germany during World War 2 to believe that Jews were evil. The Roman’s, Spartans and Mongols used it as well. Gaslighting is basically a form of psychological warfare.

I could go on and on about many other cases in which this technology has been abused, but I don’t have the time to write a whole book right now. All I can say is that this kind of power is very real and everyone should be mindful of it.

Anyway that’s all I got for today. I’ve said what I have to say. So get up, get out of your house and get your asses laid!
