Welcome back to this fire-freaking conversation with the one, the only, the master at the art of seduction. That's right. It's Robert Greene. And in part one, we were unraveling all the things that we wanted to know about how on earth people seduce us and why we keep getting trapped in their web. So buckle up because this one, we are gonna crank up the notch even more. And in this part, we lay out the nine seductive archetypes people use to get what they want. Now, listen carefully and write down which one are you and which one, if you're in a relationship, which one is your partner. Or if you are single, just look back in your dating history and start putting the labels next to your exes so that you can start to understand why you keep falling for manipulation tactics. We also talk about how to actually freaking take your power and flip the script when someone's trying to manipulate you. And my homie, if you do this right, you will come out stronger. And at the end, we wrap up with the ultimate boundary setting strategies. And of course, ladies, don't worry, I'm not going to leave you hanging. You better freaking believe I had to ask on the top seduction skill that women can do towards men. I had to, I had to ask on behalf of all of us women, just like I said in part one, you can use this for good or you can use it for evil.

So I urge you to use these tactics to help yourself, to protect yourself, but not for bad. I beg you ladies, only use these tactics for good. Because here's the deal, this episode isn't just about spotting the players, it's about becoming so damn aware that you can walk into any scenario with utter confidence because you have the skill sets that you need in order to defend yourself if someone ends up trying to trick you, manipulate you or seduce you.

Unless you actually want to be seduced, and then you can just ignore this episode and go home with your partner. So grab your metaphoric boxing gloves because you're stepping into the ring with me and Robert Greene right here on Women of Impact.

So we're going to go to number 18 now, which is stir up the transgressive and the taboo. I actually was shocked to see that. So talk to me about why stirring up the taboo actually helps as part of the seduction.

Robert Greene (2:49)

Now, what shocked you about that?

Lisa Bilyeu (2:52)

I just thought it would be maybe like if someone's a little prudish, it may be like a turn off like, oh my God, I can't believe you said that. People can sometimes almost be offensive more than it is like intriguing.

Robert Greene (3:03)

Well, seduction involves by nature an element of transgressive and taboo. So the word itself has this kind of edge to it, where we're sort of attracted to it, but we're also a little bit afraid of it. It's like something, it could be very exciting, but there's also something a little bit evil about it, a little bit naughty.

If it didn't have those two elements, it wouldn't be this very powerful word that attracts us so much.

So people who pretend that they want everything to be so comfortable, and easy, and perfect in their life. They want everything to be good, everything to be sweet and angelic.

But people are complicated.

They desire the opposite of what they say they think they want. Underneath every one of our desires is secretly something else, secretly something maybe the opposite that we want, but we're not aware of it.

If everything in the seduction were so smooth, and wonderful, and pleasant, he's giving you chocolates, and roses, and wonderful, it doesn't have that edge to it. We want an edge to things in life, otherwise we're not interested in it. It gives it something, a little bit, a whiff of danger. It's something we haven't talked about. But seduction has to have an element of danger to it. It has to be like being involved with this person. It's not like my life is at stake, but something potentially bad could happen, or there's an adventure involved that I'm not used to, where I could lose something that I value. And that element of danger is actually a spice in our life. So, my view of people today is that we're too tight. We're too like this. We're too political. We're too like holding on to things we want. We're like, I call it the new prudery in the art of seduction. This is the new prudery, our political correctness. Everything has to be this way. I'm so moral and righteous. This is what's right and that's what's wrong.
