Why I Wrote This Book

First, over time I realized that with my


material, the whole is larger than the sum of
the parts. What do I mean by that? My
material consists of in-person teaching
(Hustler Elite Bootcamps and one-off Skype
calls, online video products (Hustler Club and
Daygame Basics Course) and books (The
C l o se , SD L Ki n g , Th e C h e m i s tr y o f
Seduction, The Yellow Swan, The Bible and
Universal Laws (still unpublished)). In due
course, I will also have an app available.
That’s the ecosystem. All products are more
or less good at teaching various dimensions
of seduction: e.g. in-person teaching is more
effective for conveying the mindset and the
attitude as well as physical elements, while
books are very good at giving a deep
understanding of concepts such as attraction
and word-for-word verbals. What makes the
whole larger than the sum of the parts is that
all elements across all products are structured
along the timeless principles of the Straight
8
Line Seduction System. Within that system,
every element (book, video etc.) doesn’ t just
add its own value, but enhances the value of
all the other elements in the system. For
example, if you are part of the Hustler Elite,
but struggle to remember the verbals of Active
Frame Control, you can simply open The
Bible and read up every single verbal
element. So therefore, the book enhances
your Hustler Elite experience and your Hustler
Elite experience enhances the value of the
book as it puts everything into real life
context. Same for the video products: if you
lack delivery when pulling a girl for an instant
date, you can watch the Hustler Club or
Daygame Basics Course videos and hear me
explain the infield breakdowns. It’s the
richness of the experience across various
dimensions of teaching that maximizes your
brains ability to adapt to a new reality of
fucking hot girls all the time and on demand.
It’s not a simple thing to change: you need to
hit all channels and you need to undo a lot of
social conditioning so you need to go at it with
9
maximum force. That’s why I recommend to
fully immerse yourself with all products to
maximize the impact on your psychology: you
need to jolt yourself out of Lala-land. In this
context, the number one main objective of
The Bible is to serve you as a reference
manual for your verbals - whenever you have
a “what-would-tony-say-moment”, you can
open The Bible and read the exact lines. And
you can pick the one that appeals to you the
most as The Bible gives you many options for
every situation. The Bible is called The Book
of Seduction Lines, because it holds the
verbal repertoire. In due course, I may write
the second Bible - The Book of Seduction
Moves, but you all know that depends on
what is going on with my businesses at that
point in time. For as long as I am active, my
aim will be to cover all dimensions of
seduction until the ecosystem will have
maximized its value.

Further, in the above ecosystem context, I


wrote this book, because my previous books,
10
while including some of the lines I use, do not
reflect my entire repertoire of verbals. And
while I can never fully spell out the entire
repertoire of lines I use, because I constantly
make up new lines using seduction patterns, I
can provide 80% of it. And we know that 20%
of my lines probably carry 80% of my
effectiveness anyway. Hence, you using my
favorite lines is literally downloading my
knowledge into your head: those lines are
extremely powerful, effective and have been
field-tested during 1000s of hours of infield
over decades. If you had the discipline and
aptitude to do the same, you would spend
tens of thousands of hours figuring out what I
already figured out: that’s why you pay a price
that seems high for a piece of paper with ink
on it. The other reason is that my shit works
(see the SDL Challenge on
anthonyhustle.com) and if you want to get laid
with girls that you get when you apply my
material, you need to pay thousands of
dollars and she only does it for the money.
That’s your opportunity cost and that’s how
11
the material is priced. You are free to try to
reinvent the wheel and see if you can save
the 100 bucks and spend thousands of hours
doing it yourself. If that’s your way, then get
ready to chew on glass while staring into the
abyss. To sum it up, there is not a single line
in this book that I haven’t tested and
approved. Habitually reading The Bible as a
type of bed-time reading, and using my
gospel routinely will improve your game by
10-100x depending on your level. It is the
bedrock of your game that you can fall back
onto and it gives you performance certainty. It
will take you from not getting laid, to getting
laid with the girls you salivate over.

Another reason I wrote this book is that I


always look for ways to simplify my teaching
and The Bible was the obvious no-brainer: if
you learn my gospel by heart and preach it to
girls over and over again, you shall get laid.
Now, going out there and using the lines is up
to you of course: practice makes habit, habit

12
makes great delivery, great delivery makes
Tony Hustle type results.

As the old saying goes: “Watch your thoughts,


they become words; watch your words, they
become actions; watch your actions, they
become habits; watch your habits, they
become character; watch your character, for it
becomes your destiny.” My destiny was a life
with great girls and ultimate choice until I die -
I don’t regret a thing looking back.

The book is organized according to the


Straight Line Seduction System. I use the
Daygame Basics Course
(www.anthlyhustle.com) approach to day-time
approaching up to instant dating. I use the
SDL King book’s 3 Step Logistics for the date.
The philosophy of Straight Line Seduction is
the bedrock of my books and I recommend
practicing the gospel as follows: put a carpet
on the floor, pointing in the direction wherever
Tony Hustle currently resides, get on your
knees and say out loud Anthony’s Prayer.
13
Do it just before you go out and just before
you go to bed, even if you took home and she
is asleep naked on your bed. If it’s awkward
tell her you are secular extremist with radical
views on sex and society:

“Dear Anthony,

I give you my feet to walk the high streets;


I give you my eyes to see her in those tight
jeans;

I give you my tongue to speak your gospel,


I give you my hands to grab her ass back at
the hostel;

Tony, I give you my mind that you may think


for me;
I give you my spirit that you may guide me;

Love the God Tony and love all women


equal;
Slim, busty, or hebrew;
I don’t give a fuck, as long as it’s legal.
14
Amen.”

If you are actually doing this, don’t tell any


girls or close family members and please
record it and send it to me so I can feel proud
about having at least one utterly devoted
member to my Tony Hustle Cult. Jokes aside,
let’s get into it.

Daygame

The best thing to do for a beginner is to buy


my Daygame Basics Course. It has all the
theory with infield tutorials and a detailed
training schedule to get you up to speed on
Daygame. It’s an eight months program that
is tailored to your level, from beginner to
advanced and it covers everything you need
from approach to instant date. That’s what
daygame is all about: filtering for girls that are
attracted to you and have logistics. You need
to get the girl off the street into a bar or pub.
This is not seduction as you are commonly
made belief by literally everyone else in this
game: this is just the beginning of the
seduction process. The Bible is a verbally-
focused book and as such I will now spell out
all verbal lines that we need to do state-of-
the-art approaching. Note, I will not cover the
very important non-verbals (as a matter of
fact 90% of communication is non-verbal). For
that the videos on the Hustler Club and the
Daygame Basics Course are very useful.
17
Alternatively, infield teaching with a Bootcamp
or in the Hustler Elite is of course even
better.

The Opener

Everybody wants to hear the killer opener. It’s


a typical beginner mistake. The myth is that
the opener does the work for you in some
magical way. Let me break it to you: you are
wrong. The girl will not open her legs,
because you think the opener is equivalent to
a “Sesame Open!” The opener gets you a foot
in the door and the better you are the more
attraction you create and that’s about it. For
details, read The Close, get the Daygame
Basics Course and watch the Hustler Club
videos. The opener is structured as follows:

1. Attention Snap,

2. Prehistory, and

3. Compliment.

Openers are important, but at the end of the


day, you need to practice the fuck out of it to
20
calibrate your A-E delivery (read my third
book, The Chemistry of Seduction). I always
use the same style of Openers. They are as
simple as it gets and they are always the
same in terms of delivery. I personally
freestyle them, but that’s because I have fuck
tons of experience. For a beginner, I
recommend settling for one or two Openers
and practice those 10000 times.

21
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

22
Attention Snaps

We follow the S.E.X. Approach as in SDL


King, my second book, and as in the
Daygame Basics Course. S.E.X. = Simple,
Efficient and Exciting. If you want to hear
students that successfully got laid by simply
changing their openers, listen to Anthony
Hustle Podcast #48 with Ron Hagen and
Anthony Hustle Podcast #53 - John F - The
One Video That Changed My Sex Life.
Openers are not rocket science. The point of
the Attention Snap is that you want to focus
her attention before you start hitting her with
Hustlerisms to build A-E. You can’t attract a
girl that doesn’t know you exist. The best way
to think of it as an induction pattern into a
hypnotic state (google it if you haven’t heard
of that). Here are the top Attention Snaps:

1. Hey can I just stop you for a second, I...

23
Pre-openers

Pre-openers are important because they give


the girl the required history/story. They
answer the following question in her mind:
“Why is this guy stopping me and why the hell
should I stop to talk to him?” Basically, it’s an
early yes-ladder element that enables you to
then hit her directly with Hustlerisms when her
state of mind is receptive. It logically
legitimizes why you are there and/or it creates
intrigue for her to listen to what you have to
say next. It follows directly from the Attention
Snap without interruption.

1. … you just walked past me and I have to


say you …

24
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

25
Compliment

Once you have her attention and legitimized


why you are standing there, you deliver the
Compliment. The Compliment is there to
make it clear to the girl in her own language
that we are here to have sex with her. No, we
don’t tell her “Let’s fuck.” because that would
get you nothing, but a punch in the mouth.
What we are here to do is to compliment her
in a sexual yet acceptable way. Here are a
few examples:

1. … I have to say you look stunning today.

26
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

27
Hustlerisms

Hustlerism is a term I coined - a Hustlerism is


a phrase or statement that allows the Hustler
to communicate to a girl that he wants to have
sex with her without having to be rude or
crude. It’s telling the girl in her language what
we want from her. A phrase such as: “You
look super sexy and I bet you are amazing in
bed.” does the same thing. It tells the girl that
we want to bang her. But the huge
disadvantage with this phrase is that it is
interpreted as rude by 99% of girls if it is used
as an opening statement. As such, it results in
the girl walking off. However, it’s definitely
thousands of times better than not making it
clear to the girl what we want from her (e.g.
“You look like a doctor.”). The Hustlerism
straddles the best of both worlds: it combines
the sexual intent of the first statement and, at
the same time, it allows us to communicate it
in a way that doesn’t offend the girl, but rather
pays her a compliment. That’s the power of
Hustlerisms. If you want to understand more
28
about how attraction works, please read my
books The Close and The Chemistry of
Seduction. That understanding will open your
mind and change the way you see women,
which is the key to getting laid. The
Hustlerisms are delivered right after the
Compliment and we use as many Hustlerisms
as we have to until we get a clear sign of
attraction from the girl (e.g. blushing, wide
eyes, flicking hair, giggling etc.). If this does
not occur, the girl does not pass our a-e test
and we move on to the next one.

1. You have very good eye contact. A very


good energy. I thought you must be
working in sales.

Note: none of my Hustlersims are teases or


push-pulls. They are straight forward sexually
charged statements. That is because teasing
and push-pull interrupts the sexual
connection and is sort of a cheap trick to get
the girl invested into the conversation. If you
want to learn more about how attraction
29
works, read The Close and The Chemistry of
Seduction. If you want to understand why
these very direct sexually charged statements
lead to counter-intuitive positive reactions,
read The Yellow Sean. Understanding the
background makes it crystal clear why the
Straight Line Seduction System works as it
does and is highly beneficial: I recommend to
invest the time and money to save yourself
time going down the wrong road for months or
years.

31
A-E Deflator Origin Lines

The origin line gives the girl some room to


breath to absorb the Hustlerisms and it
prompts her to invest. It’s a quick reference to
where she is from and it kicks the interaction
into the direction of the instant date. Note that
we still have a bunch of A-E going on right
now so the energy is tense now. The origin
line can deflate from A-E into C-T, but it
doesn’t always. So if it is really on then the
girl will likely be still very attracted and we we
will deflate the A-E bubble in a little while; for
now we let her soak up the A-E and get her to
invest:

1. You do have very dark eyes, but I can’t


quite figure out where you are from. I
would say Brazil, but I am not 100%
sure.

As I said, this will likely get her to invest and


speak, but she might be overwhelmed by the
masculine energy and the directness of the
32
approach and if so, she will likely be in an A-E
bubble. That’s why we need to make sure we
get her out of that bubble next by deflating it.

33
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

34
Other A-E Deflators

The main problem people have when they get


good at spiking A-E is that they stay in A-E
and that destroys the interaction. Even after
the Origin Line, the girl and yourself can be
stuck in A-E and we need to get out of it. I
was guilty of that myself for years. It’s better
to over-escalate then to be too timid, but it’s
yet better to use the Straight Line Seduction
System. A-E is like a threshold level that you
need to get over: once you are over it, it
doesn’t get much better. To the contrary, if
you neglect the Seduction Cycle (read The
Close), you will blow out the interaction as it’s
too much to handle for the girl - it may feel
good to you, but it’s not good seduction. As
Oscar Wilde already said: “Everything in
moderation, including moderation.” So once
attraction is toggled on and the girl is giggling,
playing with her hair, saying thank you a lot
and the alike, you drive toward the Close
Sequence (see the Daygame Basics Course
or Hustler Club videos for live examples). This
35
is what the A-E Deflator is used for: it deflates
the A-E and by doing so transition into a
seemingly normal C-T-based conversation.
It’s optimal as it drives you down the straight
line without “risking” overescalation. So once
you have clear signs of attraction from the
girl, you use the Other A-E deflators to
transition to a C-T-based conversation. Even
if the girl is in C-T after the Origin Line, it
doesn’t hurt to use another A-E Deflator: it re-
iterates the current state which paces the girl
nicely. Think of it as letting a hot sizzling steak
sit on the plate before eating it to tenderize
the meat. The A-E deflation is a simple
technique: once you have attraction, you
keep adding deflators until you have a normal
C-T-based conversation. Note also that the A-
E Deflator ends with a logistics question,
which again is optimal as we find out more
about her logistics: exactly what we need if
we want to instant date her now.

36
1. Anyway, I just saw you walking past and
I thought you look great so I wanted to
say hello. What’s going on today?

There is no need for me to give you 10


different A-E Deflators: they all aim at the
same thing. Get her to go into C-T, tell you
what she is up to so you can figure out her
logistics and drive the interaction towards the
Close Sequence. Always remember, the only
things that matter are: 1) attraction and 2)
logistics - that’s why the Straight Line
Seduction System is so simple and powerful.
All of this is explained in detail in my second
book, SDL King, and my online video course
Daygame Basics. I highly recommend both if
you want to learn how to take girls off the
street/bars/clubs onto isolated instant dates.

37
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

38
Facebook Profiles

The Facebook Profile does exactly what it


says on the tin: it’s a snapshot of your life that
communicates that you are attractive within
2-3 lines. It’s snappy, it’s short and it provides
a compelling story of who you are. Why do we
need it? Because often girls want to make
sure that you are a normal guy, or, if they are
smart girls, find out whether you have
potential to be a great lay/boyfriend/night out
and therefore they ask: “What do you do?”
She doesn’t want to date a boring loser with
nothing going on in his life, just like you don’t
want to date an ugly miserable girl that bores
you with her miserable self-loathing stories
(that was a bit harsh, I know, but hey it’s a
book for dudes. I put this in here for the
feminists who are reading this book: “Relax
and give me a smile pussycat” ;-)). Anway, we
use the Facebook Profile to “wow” the girl.
She has to respond with: “Oh wow!” That’s
when you know you did it right and that’s
when you maximized the A-E. Here are some
39
examples that work. I used to work in finance
and lecture at a top university, while building
my own business. So this is what I said:

1. I work in finance [if I felt they knew about


it, I would tell them the exact industry
(hedge funds/private equity) as it was a
huge attraction spike], but I used to be a
lecturer at university [same here: if they
knew, I would tell them which one as it
was an attraction spike]. You know how
it is, I changed over to the dark side,
London is not cheap if you want to have
some fun. Anyway, I have my own
business now and am about to quit my
job. I like to be the boss, if you know
what I mean [smirk].

If none of the above sounds unrealistic to you


or the thought of you saying stuff like this
makes you cringe, then it’s a) because your
mindset is not adapted to seduction and you
are still believing the horseshit your parents
and society have been telling you for
40
decades. You have to dream big and you
have to be able to sell your vision to strangers
even if it is still only a dream. Steve Jobs had
a clear vision of the future when he pulled
teams of top engineers together to work for
his vision. He projected a field of reality
distortion. It’s a leader quality and girls need
to feel you project this reality distortion. It’s
hypnotic to them. Steve Jobs made people
work for him that had many choices. They
could have worked for IBM, Intel or any other
top tech company. They were top in their
respective fields: top computer scientists and
mavericks such as Steve Wozniak. Unless
those people believe in you and your vision,
they will walk. They know what’s up and they
need to be drawn into a reality distortion.
Job’s magnetic character and promise of
leading the revolution against the tech
establishment by making insanely great
products is what got those top people
hooked. If you don’t have it yet, don’t despair.
Practice makes perfect: learning how to
communicate the vision of you to a girl within
41
10 seconds is key to seduction and it’s a lot
easier than doing what Steve Jobs did. Get
the Daygame Basics Course to learn how it is
done infield.

Logistics Questions

There are only two things that matter in game


attraction and logistics. You should have
attraction by now as you used a lot of A-E
statements and built value. If you don’t have
attraction now it’s either not on, or you are not
using A-E correctly. If you do have attraction,
then you need to get to the point. Talking
bullshit about boring topics is bad as it will
destroy value - it’s very common for students
to first build great attraction using good A-E
statements and then completely lose the girl
by talking bullshit based on boring topics that
the girl doesn’t care about or doesn’t want to
talk about with a stranger. Why do beginners
fuck up when they prolong the interaction
without pushing for the instant date fast?
Because it’s inconsistent with the Straightline
Seduction System and the girl has already
made up her mind by now: she either wants
you or she doesn’t, so don’t waste her time
with bullshit she doesn’t care about. If she
doesn’t like you, you will find out very fast. If
44
she likes you, she either has stuff to do now
and can’t come with you, or she is free to
bang your brains out. Do your job, clear
logistics and get into the Close Sequence. So
how do you clear logistics? You ask her:

1. What’s going on right now?

Note that most guys give up way too early


when it comes to logistics handling. Girls will
put up objections and/or give vague answers.
Expect it as this is reality. You need to keep
digging until you know what her plans are: is
she free right now to have sex? If she is on
her way to a gynecologist appointment in 10
minutes she's not free for sex right now? If
she is meeting her friends in 3 hours she is
free. You need to keep drilling her to find out
the truth. She won't offer the valuable info for
free. Since you should have attraction by
now, persistence will only increase your
attraction, so be very persistent. You need to
truly get to the bottom of her logistics to make
the right decision in the Close Sequence. If
45
she doesn’t have time right now and it’s a
legit reason then there is no reason for you to
push for the instant date. It will only result in a
no-ladder response as you are banging your
head against the wall. We will discuss that
next.

46
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

47
48
Close Sequence

The Close Sequence is the optimal way of


asking the girl out. It’s always the same, it
always follows the same steps and it’s always
optimal. You always clear logistics first as
thoroughly as you can. You need to find out
whether she is free right now. If she is, you
ask for the highest price first, which is the
instant date. If there is no way she can go on
an instant date, you ask for the second
highest price, which is a delayed instant date
the same day. If she declines that and doesn’t
offer an alternative date, it’s not on and you
give her your number. There is the odd
chance that she will text in the future when
she is looking for sex. If she declines instant
and delayed instant date, but offers an
alternative date, you take her number. When
you don’t know her logistics well and did
everything possible to find out (she might
have not offered the information), you go for
the instant date anyway. This is intelligent for
various psychological reasons and from a
49
risk-return perspective - I won’t go into that as
it’s beyond this book. The below is the
verbalization of the Close Sequence - it’s not
a list of alternatives you can choose from as
in other parts of the book - it’s the same
sequence you follow every time.

1. Well, anyway, I thought you are cute so I


wanted to come over and say hello

The main mistake people make is that they


are too soft on the logistics and get
discouraged by fake objections. Neither is
right: you need to find out her logistics
persistently and in a socially smart way so it
doesn’t sound like an FBI interview and you
need to smell the fake objections such as:
“Yeah I am meeting friends.” and overcome
those. If you asked more deeply she would
tell you: “I am meeting my friends tonight for
dinner at 8pm.” First, now it’s 3pm and
second, dinners fall through and friends
cancel all the time. When you have sex with
her at 5pm, she will text her dinner date:
50
“Sorry, girls I won’t make it today. I’m not
feeling too well. We'll catch up very soon.
Can’t wait… xxx.”

For the delayed instant date, the sequence is


similarly simple:

1. Ok cool. Why don’t we do this: you meet


your friends and I do my thing and later
we meet up for a drink in Soho.

You keep it nice and short and you cut off the
interaction. In your head, you adjust your
expectations downward as the chances of
getting with her our later are lower. You move
onto the next girl. Later you only text her very
briefly: “Hey X, I will probably finish up with
my friends here in a bit. What are you up to?”
If she is blowing you off, forget about her,
delete the number - only re-engage if she
contacts you. Again, judgment rules: if she
honestly apologizes and offers alternatives,
meet her another time. It’s your judgment that
matters - don’t fool yourself. A girl that’s on
51
makes an effort to come out. If she is on for
the delayed instant date such as: “Hey, nice
to meet you. Yeah we are wrapping up. I am
free in about 30min..” you close the deal: “Ok
cool. I just came from Soho. Let’s meet at
Piccadilly Circus at around 6pm and grab a
drink.”

If the girl has no time that day but offers an


alternative, you simply take her number and
cut the interaction short. If she doesn’t offer
an alternative, you tell her this: “I understand.
Anyway, I think you are very cute. I did my job
and made the first move. Take my number so
when you feel like going out, you can get in
touch. Life is all about seizing opportunities at
the end.” That’s the Close Sequence. With
practice, this yields by far the highest
probability of getting laid.

Date To Close
1st Doorway

All of what follows is covered in my second


book, SDL King, and my third book, The
Chemistry of Seduction. Here are A-E spikes
to keep up the attraction until the 1st Venue
on the 1st Doorway:

1. Not only did you have a great day out,


but you also met an amazing guy. What
a day for you. [Flipping the Script as in
The Close]

Here are C-T lines to make her comfortable


and find out logistics:

1. So what were you up to today?


[Logistics as in SDL King]

54
1st Venue

The 1st Venue is all about clearing logistics,


seeding Active Frame Control and using A-E
to not fall into the friend zone. Read SDL King
and The Chemistry of Seduction to
understand the background.

1. Go find a good seat - I will get the first


round. [Active Frame Control]

55
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

56
2nd Doorway

The 2nd Doorway is when you bridge longer


distances to get close to your closing location.
The objective is to keep her engaged, plant
seeds for Active Frame Control, potentially
clear more logistics and to prepare the A-E for
the 2nd Venue. Again, read SDL King and
The Chemistry of Seduction.

1. What do you find attractive in men?


[Active Frame Control]

57
2nd Venue

The 2nd Venue is all about getting her into


the Kill Zone. It’s now time to get the ball
rolling and to ramp up the Intensity Levels,
both on C-T and A-E (particularly on the
physical A-E, but this is not the subject of this
book; it’s covered in The Chemistry of
Seduction). Further, we now want to establish
strong Active Frame Control and in particular
the Male Leader and Pure Connection
Frames.

1. What I love about you is the way you


smell and the way you walk - it’s so
seductive. You’re just my type. Come
over here. [Active Frame Control and A-
E]

Later in the book, I will go into more Active


Frame Control, because it is such an
important topic. You should use those lines in
the 2nd Venue (Setting the Frame from
Scratch).
58
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

59
3rd Doorway

The main point of the 3rd Doorway is that we


pulled the trigger and she is on the way to the
closing location. She is either in the Kill Zone
or you are pulling Kamikaze-style. Read SDL
King to understand the difference. The key
point is that you need to keep her mind
engaged so she doesn’t snap out of it. So we
will use techniques to keep the ball rolling,
kicking the can down the street until we are in
the 3rd Venue - no need to pump more A-E
as long as she stays in the A-E bubble. There
are different ways of doing it depending how
the interaction went: i.e. how high up you are
on the Intensity Levels of A-E and C-T as in
The Chemistry of Seduction. You want to be
high on both, A-E and C-T, as it makes it
easier, but you won’t always be. Here are the
3rd Doorway lines:

1. It’s weird how easy we get along - it


feels like I had known you for years

60
(Active Frame Control with high Intensity
Level)

61
WWW.ANTHONYHUSTLE.COM

62
3rd Venue

In the 3rd Venue it’s game time. It’s a high A-


E/C-T phase with the highest Intensity Levels.
Sex is the ultimate form of physical a-e of
course. Since the 3rd Doorway cooled down
the interaction potentially, you will now have
to spike it back up after she got comfortable in
the 3rd Venue. So in the Seduction Plot, it’s a
Parabola Pattern and this is why she first
needs to get comfortable before you escalate.
Again, rules are there to be broken: I had girls
give me blow jobs on the stairs before getting
into my flat: of course, you don’t need to let
this girl cool down first - that would be a
mistake as she is on. But usually, it’s a good
idea to let her settle her horses before you
get out your donkey dick. I highly recommend
reading The Chemistry of Seduction to
understand that entire process.

To build the C-T before you ramp up A-E, you


just need to be a good host.

63
1. Take off your shoes please, but please
keep the dress on, for a while at least.

Active Frame Control

Frame Control is the rocket fuel of seduction


as I describe in my first book, The Close. I
recommend you read up on Frame Control to
fully understand the concept and how it
relates to attracting women. I will now go
through examples of how to use Active Frame
Control to reframe frame tests (aka shit tests)
and how to use it to set up frames from
scratch. Again, both techniques are explained
in detail in my first book, The Close. Frame
Control is so important because 90% C-T is
based on frame control - most people think
they are in C-T when they sit down with a girl.
They are not though: they are doing chit chat
and chit chat is not game, because chit chat
does not demonstrate survival and
replication. Take my word for it, the following
lines are highly effective and make the
difference between getting laid with a fashion
model and going home alone.

Pure Connection Frame - Setting Frame

1. I love your energy. It’s very bubbly. It’s


bright yellow. We are the same people.
Bright yellow energy people draw people
in naturally. [seeding the frame]

Note that you can switch and swap all the


statements as you see fit as long as they
make sense in the moment. No need to follow
a specific sequence (as in the Close
Sequence for example).

68
Male Leader Frame - Setting Frame from

1. What I love about your country is that


women are women and men are still
men. In Europe women are becoming
very masculine. Like they don’t take care

In Russia it’s still traditional: there is a
polarity between men and women.

Explain Her World to Her Frame - Setting


Frame from Scratch

This is a very powerful technique and it is


directly linked to Empathize-relate-educate
from my 4th book, The Yellow Swan.
Understanding this frame in conjunction with
executing it using Empathize-relate-educate
is so powerful that the girl can immediately
give into your frame and accept your
leadership, sometimes to a degree that
makes you feel sick due to her neediness.
You need to read up on the background of the
Explain Her World to Her Frame in my first
book, The Close, and then you need to
understand the technique Empathize-relate-
71
educate as explained in The Yellow Swan.
Below I am just giving some examples. You
can apply this frame to any situation of course
if you understand the pattern in depth and
those are covered in my other books as
already explained. (Note: for every frame
below, I assume that you have already
empathized and related to the girl - the
Explain Her World to Her Frame is then the
education part of Empathize-relate-educate).

1. [another recurring theme with girls is


that they left home to explore; they
don’t like the narrow-mindedness of
their village relatives and they feel
held-down by their possessive
boyfriends] I get it, you feel like your
friends in Italy are narrow-minded and
you want to explore what’s out there. I
did the same as you already know. It’s
normal - you see we are the same
person just at a different stage in our
lives. If you feel like this it’s normal. It’s
not fair for your boyfriend to be this
72
obsessive. He should be supporting
you, not holding a gun to your head
forcing you to make a decision. You
are a young beautiful seedling that
needs to blossom into a flower. He
should support you and then ironically,
you would love him even more. And
with your friends it’s the same: when
you get older you will see that you
have very few real friends. Most people
are jealous, angry with themselves and
afraid of change. They don’t want you
to live their dream because it disrupts
their reality. Don’t listen to them. Listen
to your heart and do what feels right to
you. Your parents are the same: they
love you but they don’t know what’s
good for you. They lived in their village
all their lives and they never had the
courage to go out and explore. It’s an
exciting time for you. You met a young,
handsome and smart guy and you are
sipping on martini’s on a rooftop in
New York. Could be worse. Let’s forget
73
about the haters. Let’s celebrate life
tonight and do things that involve lots
of alcohol and bad decisions. [smirk to
spike out if of C-T back into the A-E
part of the Seduction Cycle as
explained in my first book, The Close]

I love to help people. I love to seduce girls. I


have helped girls start studying at university
against the will of their exploitative self-
interested backward-minded parents. I also
showed them what great sex is on the way
and made them come harder than they ever
have before. Of course, they fell in love with
me. What I did to protect them from emotional
damage was to keep the relationship brief
and to not lead them on and waste their best
years. Any single one of those girls is
extremely appreciative of what I did until this
very day: they regard me as one of the best
things that ever happened to them in their
lives and are forever grateful for me changing
their Weltanschauung (and maybe those of
their temporarily angry parents and
74
boyfriends, too). Those girls were lucky
because it happened when they were in their
teens - trust me, I was happy about that, too.

76
Childish Dummy Frame - Setting Frame
from Scratch

It’s a frame I use with young girls or girls that


are a little bit giddy. Sometimes, I use it with
girls that think they are amazing to put them
in their place. It basically mocks the girl by
amplifying an odd behavior of hers to an
absurd level of ridiculousness. It is highly
effective if she accepts the frame. It is very
easy to use as a call-back as well. I highly
recommend reading The Close, my first book,
to understand the frame better. Here are a
few examples.

1. [the girl drops something or spills her


drink] You can dress her up, but you
can’t take her anywhere. Look, people
know me in this place. Young lady, you
will have to be on your best behaviour
from now, or daddy will have to come
over there and spank your butt [smirk
and shake your head while saying it; if
she doesn’t laugh hysterically, it’s not
77
done right]

This frame is highly versatile and therefore


highly powerful once the pattern is
understood. Every girl slips and makes some
outrageous statements at some point in the
interaction and this is the chance to impose
the Childish Dummy Frame. I gave you a few
examples above so you can see how this
frame may work. To understand the frame in
more detail, please revisit my first book, The
Close.

Active Frame Control - Frame-test
Reframers

While Setting Up Frames from Scratch is a


proactive technique in the sense that you take
action to build survival and replication value,
Frame-test Reframing is a technique that is
more responsive: we actively fend off her
frame tests and in doing so, we increase our
survival and replication value. Again, to
understand why girls are “kicking your tires”
you need to read my first book, The Close
and my second book, The Chemistry of
Seduction. I won’t rehash these principles in
this book. All you need to know for now is: a)
girls that are trying to figure out whether they
want to be with you will feel out whether you
are a man of survival and replication value
and b) that you can use Active Frame Control
to respond in a way that communicates to the
girl that you are the a man of very high value
that she wants to be with. And this is what
gets you laid. The following lines are what I
consider the state-of-the-art Straight Line
80
Seduction Frame-test Reframers that have
been field-tested by myself and that are
extremely effective in getting you laid.

average guys] Sorry, I don’t kiss on the
first date. You should slow down. I am
not this kind of girl. Do you usually act
like this with girls you just met? [you
need to counter this immediately - she is
gambling high here and doesn't have a
strong hand. Force her to reveal her
cards] I thought you are better than this
[pause]. We have this great connection,
we were speaking about things we
haven’t even told our best friends and
family, we have great physical chemistry
and then you come up with this shallow
line that you have read in Vogue
Magazine? Given how much sexual
energy you ooze, I know that you have
done a lot more with guys that you
83
barely knew. I have been around the
block -every girl has. You see, that’s
disappointing, because it makes us
ordinary. I stand for everything that’s not
ordinary. To be honest, I lost quite a bit
of attraction there. I was really attracted
to you, because we had this strong
emotional and physical connection, but
know, hmm. Jenny, you are better than
this. We are better than this. Now we
look like another boring date that lacks
passion based on honesty and sexual
chemistry. Well, at least the the white
wine is cold. Can’t have it all I guess.

Look, I stopped you in the street and you

serendipitous and if it ends in with a lot
alcohol and bad decisions at least it’s a

not? That’s what you have to listen to.

Other Important Verbals

From a young age I was pretty much


indifferent to other people’s opinions and
therefore able to say things that are
outrageous without getting red in the face. I
was outspoken and I had a quirky sense of
humor. I also liked a sexually charged sense
of humor and teasing. All this played into my
ability to create A-E later on in life. Or, said
differently, to “supernaturally” create A-E lines
using patterns I learned as a child. I have
inherited this from my family: let’s just say I
did a really good job at choosing my parents
in this respect. I am including this section in
the book because it is such a huge part of
me. I urge you to use this section with
caution: using this section will get A-E through
the roof, but too much A-E is dangerous as it
feels deceptively good, while not resulting in
getting laid if overdone. The reason is that too
much A-E based on pushing (being offensive,
teasing etc.) deviates from the straight line
and at the end of the day, it’s the closing that
94
matters not the A-E. So don’t become the
funny guy: you need to focus on becoming a
closer. I had to learn later in life that it’s much
more effective to create A-E via escalation
t h a n t o d o i t v i a p u s h i n g v e r b a l l y.
Nonetheless, this is part of Tony Hustle and I
am including it.

Agree and Amplify

Another truly effective strategy to a) deal with


frame tests and b) to spike out of C-T. Both
concepts are discussed at length in my book
The Close in the sections on Active Frame
Control and the Straight Line Seduction
Cycle. Those sections are absolutely
indispensable for any seducer to understand.
They are the bedrock of seduction. Agree and
amplify is one technique that is used to
navigate both concepts and as such it is very
powerful. The technique is simple: whatever
the girl says, you agree and take it to a more
extreme level. It works because the girl can’t
win the argument and you have a comeback
to everything and it shows that you don’t care
too much, but rather value amusing yourself
over sucking up to her. It’s best understood
u s i n g s o m e e x a m p l e s . Yo u n e e d t o
understand the pattern and then you can
apply it situationally - you can use routines,
but the pattern is the ultimate way to go.

98
Reframing frame tests (see Active Frame
Control section in my first book: The Close)

1. [she tells you your shirt is out of fashion


or old school] Yes, I know. I was looking
for the right shirt, and then my grandpa
walked in and told me that he used to
get laid like a rockstar when wearing his
lucky shirt. So I thought, I would give it a
try.

As you can see it’s always the same; she


says or does something to test you. You take
what she said and make it more extreme.
Sometimes you also tie in some flipping the
script, but that’s not required strictly. Once
you know the pattern, you can simply apply it
to everything and anything. Very often this is
also used in negotiation - on that topic, I
would highly recommend reading my book
The Yellow Swan. It’s mainly based on the
idea of listening and reframing the mind of the
other person and it’s highly effective in
dealing with girls that test relentlessly.
99
Spiking out of C-T (see Straight Line
Seduction Cycle in my first book: The Close)

1. [she talks about laying at the beach


during her last vacation but it’s done in a

mean. I love to lay at the beach, getting

101
Empathize-Relate-Educate

This is a technique I came across early in my


seduction journey and it is truly awesome in
terms of effectiveness - I had to include it
because of its power. I talk about this
technique at length in my fourth book, The
Yellow Swan. The best way to introduce the
technique is the following paragraph from The
Yellow Swan:

“The simple yet very effective idea behind this


concept is this: first you empathize with the
girl to make her feel that you truly understand
her, then you relate her emotions to yourself
using a story so she identifies with you and
lastly, once you have fully won her trust, you
educate and lead her.”

102
I will give a few examples of how this helped
me get some incredibly hot girls begging me
to be with them. From this you can see how
the technique works in reality and you can
apply it yourself:

1. [a girl I met in London came with me to


an instant date and she was rather
distant despite being Russian and
bubbly. So I asked her] So you travel to
see new things and experience what it’s
like being by yourself. [she went on
telling me that her boyfriend was a bit
possessive and she felt really good
about being in London. So I went deeper
because I knew that was the reason she
was distant - I had to discover a Yellow
Swan if I wanted to turn this around (as
explained in my fourth book). I asked
103
her] Ok, your boyfriend is telling you
what to do [feeding back her own words]
and you feel like in a cage? [she went on
how he was telling her to make a
decision of being with him or going
abroad to travel and so on. I empathize
and relate to her] Ok, it’s like he is telling
you what to do - he is holding a gun to
your head so to speak and that makes
you feel very pressured. [she agreed
and her eyes went really big. She said]
Oh my god, you are so right and you
understand me. [I then went on to relate
to her] I once had a similar situation - I
was asked whether I want to stay in
Germany for sure or take a big risk and
go abroad and I wasn’t allowed to do
both. I would lose my place in a top
university. It was a lot of pressure. It
104
feels bad, but that’s when you can grow.
[she was listening intently and now I
knew I had her. Now I could educate]
What you need to do is be with people
that allow you to grow and that support
you - not just people that think about
themselves. Someone that really loves
you will want you to grow and explore.
When you cage somebody, it’s terrible
and leads to nothing. [we then walked
outside, she sat down on a little wall and
she started to cry. I told her to get up
and get close. Then I gave her a heavy
kiss and simply led to my flat. Zero
resistance thanks to using the Yellow
Swan technique, empathize-relate-
educate]

105
I could go on for hours with stories, but it’s not
the point: the point is that you see the
technique at work and that you realize the
pattern: you let her spill her emotions, then
you empathize with her and then you are
allowed to lead her by educating her. It’s very
powerful if practiced and done correctly.

107
Toward Sex

Towards sex is when you are in the 3rd


Venue (read SDL King, my second book) and
about to get it on. You are making out, but the
girl is potentially a bit hesitant. She is not
saying no to you, but she is still not 100%
convinced that she wants to have sex. You
get this reaction in particular if your Active
Frame Control is not top notch. Once you are
really good at game, you don’t get this
reaction in general. Note, if a girl says no and
you don’t know how to interpret it, it means no
and you stop. Only go as far as you would
want other men do to women you love such
as your mother or your sister. However, this
being said, it’s not uncommon for girls to be
unsure about sex and you ought to deal with

108
this. I am not saying that you should pressure
the girl into sex; I am saying that you should
expect some girls to need some convincing -
it’s similar to selling a product to a customer:
the customer wants the product in general,
but needs a bit of convincing before they put
the cash on the table. I know this is not very
romantic, but it’s reality. The most important
part when going towards sex is to get inside
her pussy - excuse my French, but that’s true.
As soon as you are inside her with any part of
your body, it’s usually game over.

1. [you are making out with her, but she is


hesitant to go too far and doesn’t want to
take her clothes off] Look, we are both
grown ups - we will do what we feel
comfortable with. We will just take off the
top. Nothing is going to happen that we
109
don’t want. [while you are taking her top
off you tell her the following] Yes, just the
top and then we stop. We take it slow.

Pillow Talk

Once you had sex, you need to play it cool


and sincere. Don’t feel like you are the
biggest stud in the world. Feel (or act) like it
was the most natural thing in the world. Make
sure she feels good, has a bathroom to clean
up and that she gets home safely. No need to
be all cool and arrogant: be a gentleman, but
don’t be needy or seem impressed.

1. [she says that this was crazy and that


she has never done that before] Yeah I
understand. It was fast, but I think we
have just such a strong sexual
connection - it was hard to fight. And
let’s be honest, sex wasn’t the worst way

112
to end the evening. [she will laugh and
agree]

What To Do Next?

As you can tell, I have made many references


to my products in this book. I can’t repeat
everything I already said in other products,
but I tried to reference where appropriate. The
way to go forward for you is to get a solid
understanding of the Straight Line Seduction
System and to then go out and practice a
whole lot. The best thing to do is to buy my
Diamond Hustler Package because it has
everything you need at an affordable price.
Then read the over the course of a quarter
and to do 900 approaches that same quarter:
that’s 10 approaches per day. Once you have
done that, I would watch the Hustler Club
vide0s and follow the Daygame Basics
Course and deepen my understanding, while

114
I keep going out a lot. I would also record my
sets and run them through the Continuous
Improvement Template. I would recommend
doing at least 250 approaches a month for a
year, while watching the videos regularly.
Again, the most cost effective way to get
started is to sign up to the Diamond Hustler
Program. It has everything you need from
beginner to advanced and you can build on
that in the future. You will reread and re-watch
the videos a lot of times as you get better and
I guarantee you, if you follow this advice, you
will get laid with girls you wouldn’t have ever
imagined. It’s in your hands: you just need to
make a choice and then go for. Click on this
