What up, my homie? This is Lisa Bilyeu here. And today I have a guest that, oh my God, buckle up and hold onto your seats because we're talking all about seduction, manipulation and power moves that happen all around us that often we miss. And who better to actually pull back the fricking curtain than the master himself, Mr. Robert Greene? Now, my homie, if you've been living under a rock, then let me tell you why you must listen to this episode. He's a seven time bestselling author and his book, 48 Laws of Power, was made famous by 50 Cent's admission of using it. And it was so powerful that it ended up being banned in prisons because it was way too effective. His other book, Art of Seduction, has equal amounts of influence on people. And so today, you better believe that I'm pulling and dissecting the steps apart. Because let's be real, Mahomi, how many times have you been blindsided, played, or left thinking, God damn it, how did I just not see that coming? Well, ladies, that ends today. Because we are breaking down the seduction tactics that are happening every single day and you don't even realize it. We're talking about how people use their own fantasies to lure you into their web and why learning to trust your instincts is actually the ultimate game changer. Now, we have been mocked, we have been ridiculed, we have made to feel shame around trusting our guts in the past. But you better freaking believe that us ladies now are realizing it's our damn superpower. So right now, right here today, we are learning how to trust our guts and then what we can do about it. Now, the art of seduction goes two ways. Number one, what are the nefarious ways that you can be seduced where someone can actually manipulate you? Or maybe seduction can be beautiful, it can be sexy, it can be engaging. And you can also go and use these tactics and seduce someone else in a wonderful, caring way. Now, just like anything, this can be used for good or it can be used for evil. So I'm trusting, my homie, that you are listening to this podcast because you want to get better. And you want to also learn. So this is information. Please do not go and use it for bad. All right. Now, in saying all of that, oh my God, I'm so excited to introduce to you this episode. So my homie, go get comfy, get a pen, get a paper, or get your notes on your phone because this is going to be chock full of information. So let's dive into the brilliance of Robert Greene right here on Women of Impact. And let's learn the art of seduction.

Robert Greene, welcome to Women of Impact.

Thank you for having me, Lisa. My pleasure.

Lisa Bilyeu (3:22)

Now, you wrote a book called The Art of Seduction. And while it teaches men how to seduce women, it also reads as a warning manual for women to know and learn the tactics that men actually use on us. And so you say it all starts with number one, which is choose the right victim. So the question I have is what makes for a good victim?

Robert Greene (3:44)

In a kind of a cold seduction, where you're looking at a victim who's got vulnerabilities and insecurities that you can take advantage of. Now, that's not the kind of seduction I'm trying to promote in the book. But as you say, I'm revealing the secrets that a lot of men use. And there are men out there who have a radar for picking on women who have just the right kind of insecurities, just the right kind of vulnerabilities that they can prey upon. And for them, that would make the perfect victim. Seduction depends on the fact that people lack something in their life, right? And you are going to be the one supplying them. They're missing something, okay?

The word for love, eros and the erotic, comes from the God who shoots an arrow into someone and wounds them and poisons them, right? So falling in love and seducing is creating a wound in the other person. They need you. You're going to feel what they can't get on their own. So somebody who is completely happy in their life, who's got everything they want, is very hard to seduce.
