Forbidden Patterns work, but most people don't know how to work them, and think of them as some sort of magic encantation, which is how they're marketed, but that's not the case. And, like God saying to Adam and Eve don't eat the fruit from the tree, the moderators are just making the idea more interesting.
We all know about getting a foot in the door, this scientifically proven psychological technique, of getting people to do you small favors, which will eventually lead them to doing bigger favors. Ask a girl to move from the bar to the booth, she follows along, ask her to wait and hold something for you while you run to the bathroom, or to say hello to someone, you come back, and she's still there, and now more loyal to you than ever, ask if she wants to get up and go outside for some fresh air, she follows, lean forward and kiss her and suggest she come home with you. That is how the foot in the door technique works, quickly and effectively. But, few guys can seem to do it well, and yet, it's just a series of small yeses until you ask for the bigger yes. This is so powerful a technique, it's what cult leaders do to get followers, it's what Paul Bernardo the serial killer did to get Karla to help him. That's not a forbidden pattern, it's not NLP at all.
All NLP does is use conditioning, and language patterns to trigger in people emotional responses, that's what those forbidden patterns do, but for someone to be successful with them, it would both need a callousness to the other person, and a high skill set to control her emotions. Most people would just flame out and, yes come to the conclusion that their bull. And that's what's so good about them.
Maybe when I said the "doesn't work", I should have said they are "ineffective".
I don't know why you have that big paragraph on compliance. I'm aware of it's effect, but it's not really that relevant here. It's involved in using the Octoberman but the two aren't synonymous.
First of all, I'm a big fan of conversational hypnosis, and hypnosis in general. For this reason, it has to be kept conversational, in the moment, and unscripted. Effective hypnosis to me is is elegant hypnosis, so using patterns that aren't relevant to the moment is boring.
Second, why bother? The amount of work required to get a girl invested enough to pull off the Octoberman is more than it takes to fuck her. It's like circumnavigating the globe to get to your destination.
In reality, if you can't get a girl to wanna hang out with you and fuck you, you're not gonna have much luck with any forbidden patterns.
