Arm in arm, you walk down the street.
8. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR HUSBAND’S DOING?
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.
