Introduction
I have seen hundreds of routines over a period of close to 10 years of actively searching the world for the best routines, tactics, and techniques used by the top pickup artists. One of the best I have ever come across is called the “Four Secret Questions”. It is so good that sharing it with you now kind of hurts. But I have gotten over 6 years of use out of it and now it is time to give something back.
It was originally called the Four Magic Questions and written by a guy named Craig. I have altered it over the years, made some of the answers interchangeable, and given the questions supposed Japanese roots to make them seem more mysterious. I also renamed it the Four Secret Questions because women love secrets even more than magic, and it also works into the routine better because you can tell them that they may discover “secrets even they didn’t know about themselves”. This routine was good to begin with, but I added all kinds of weapons over the years and now it is just insane when done properly.
One advantage of this routine is that it has been extensively “field tested”. That means that together with myself and a few close friends, we have tried this on literally hundreds of women. I sometimes don’t care if I am not even attracted to a woman, I will still do this routine just as practice and because it does make for fun conversation.
Basics
Here are the nuts and bolts of how it works. You ask them the following basic questions:
1.) “Imagine you are in a white room with no windows and no doors, how do you feel?”
2.) “What is your favorite color?”
3.) “What is your favorite animal and why?”
4.) “Imagine you are by your favorite body of water, like the ocean, or a lake, or a river, etc. How do you feel and what do you do?”
Now the idea behind these questions is that they are supposed to be able to tell you some things about a person’s personality. Here is what each question is supposed to reveal:
1.) How a person feels about death, or the experience of dying themselves if it were to happen.
2.) What kind of personality other people think that person has (usually when first meeting them). Like their “external” personality.
3.) What a person’s real personality is. Like their “deep” or “real” personality.
4.) How a person feels about sex, their attitude towards sex (or how they feel while actually having sex).
Example
So let’s take an example of how all this can work, with an innocent lead in to it all:
You: “So I noticed you are wearing mostly pink today, is that your favorite color?”
Her: “Yes, that and red and white”
Note that this is actually asking the questions out of order, but it’s important to do what is called “grounding” with this routine, so that it seems there is a reason for you asking it. The other way to ground this is if she says she has a pet, or if someone walks by in a public place with a dog, etc., you start by noting that in the conversation and asking question 3, i.e. what her favorite animal is.
You: “That’s cool, most people only have one favorite color. You are either a very complex personality, or a very strange one! Actually, that reminds me of the 4 secret questions. Have you ever heard of them?”
Her: “No.”
You: “Well, they supposedly come from Japan, and are what they call a “shinri testo”, or a “psychology test.” You already answered one of them, sort of. But you have to be an adventurous and brave person to do them, because they reveal secrets about you that even you maybe didn’t know yourself!”
Her: “Tell me, what are they?”
You: “OK, but you have to be sure you are adventurous, because depending on your personality you might even be embarrassed by some of what you learn.”
Her: “It’s OK, tell me!”
Note that here you have basically challenged her to prove she is brave and adventurous. Most people want to believe they are somewhat brave and adventurous, so in hundreds of tries with this, we have never come across a woman who says she doesn’t want to try. The importance of doing this is that it actually puts her in the
right state of mind that helps in seducing her, but also sets up what is called “plausible deniability”. Remember, this routine gets the conversation of very sexual topics quickly, and this way you can say that you warned her she needed to be adventurous!
You: “The question is what your favorite colors are, and how they make you feel. So how do you feel about your favorite colors, what qualities do they have?”
Her: “Well, I like white because it’s pure and clean, and pink because it’s feminine, and red because it’s passionate.”
You: “OK, good answers. The next question is how you would feel if you are in a white room with no doors and no windows? Only 4 white walls, a white ceiling and floor, no way out.”
Her: “I guess I feel a bit insecure.”
You: “Insecure, so sort of scared you mean?”
Her: “Yes, scared I guess.”
See how there was some leading here? You actually lead her answer to a logical one, but she won’t really remember your prompting later when you give her the meanings. But the key is that you want her first answers to be close to what she would really feel so that she is more likely to believe the accuracy of the other answers. In this case, most people (and women in particular) are likely to be scared of death, so it makes sense. Now if she said she feels relaxed, you would not try to lead that to “scared” because it is too different.
You: “OK, so you feel scared and insecure. The next question is what your favorite animal is?”
Her: “I like dogs.”
You: “And how do they make you feel, what qualities do they have, what is it you like about dogs?”
Her: “Well, dogs are faithful companions, and they are very trustworthy.”
You: “OK, last question. Imagine you are by some body of water, like an ocean, a lake, a river, a waterfall or pool, someplace that you like to go to and enjoy the water. What do you do and how do you feel while doing it?”
Her: “Well, I feel free and relaxed. I get in and swim and enjoy the water on my skin, it feels so good.”
(At any point, you can ask for more detail, or lead her a bit more if she isn’t giving useful answers. For example, here, if she hadn’t volunteered in the last sentence that it “feels so good” you could simply add “So you feel really good, then?”)
Once done, you can choose to keep them in suspense by saying you will tell them the meaning behind their answers next time you meet. This is good if it is your first meeting or you only have a little time and want to make her want to see you again. I once used this tactic on a gorgeous bisexual stripper from Prague, Czechoslovakia and just got her last answer as the doors to her train were closing and we were saying goodbye. We had only met for about an hour and I didn’t know it but she was going back to Prague before we could meet again. But she actually called me long distance when she returned to Prague, partly because she wanted to know the answers to these questions! She asked me to come to Prague and visit her, and I am sure it would have been worth my while if I had been able to.
Once you are ready to tell her the answers, it’s important that you have a good idea of her personality so that you can craft your answers. This is the “pacing” aspect of the routine. But even if you don’t exactly know, almost anyone will want to agree with your assessment as long as you say good things about them. Then you get them to agree it’s sort of accurate before giving answers to the last question. I actually like to write down their answers on a paper or napkin, and put little checkmarks next to them as they agree with what I say. This makes it all the more “real”.
Here is how you might follow up on the above answers.
You: “So the first question is how you feel about death. Like many people, you were insecure, a bit fearful and uncertain.”
Her: “I see, that makes sense.”
You: “And the next question describes your personality. You are a complex person, because your personality has many components. Like white might describe you like pure, clear things. Pink shows your feminine side, and red shows that you are a passionate, caring person.”
Her: “Wow, that is very true!”
You: “Right, doesn’t that make you feel good?”
Her: “Yes, actually! (If she says something like this and is clearly excited, then you can take the opportunity to anchor the feeling. You could touch her lightly on the arm, and later when you touch her that way again it will again be a pleasant experience for her by virtue of association with the pleasant feelings from the conversation. See the section on “Anchoring” for more on this).”
You: “And the third question shows how others see your personality. You mentioned trustworthiness and faithfulness. So you are probably a very good friend and your friends can trust you.”
Her: “Yes, that’s true too. My friends are very important to me.”
You: “So we are three for three so far. I was surprised at how accurate this can be when I first tried it, too.”
Her: “Yeah, it’s interesting.”
You: “OK, last question is about how you feel about and experience sex. In your case, you want to feel free and relaxed. You are open to sex because you get in the water. That is good, because I like a woman who has a healthy attitude about sex! (In this last sentence you take the opportunity to let her know you have standards about women. In general, all your interactions with women should be showing that you are in some way selecting them and they need to live up to your expectations.)”
Her: “Well, I hadn’t thought of it like that before.”
You: “Sometimes it takes something like this for you to open up a bit and see things in a new light.”
From here it’s up to your skill to keep the conversation sexual. One option is to share with her your answers to the same questions. You can of course tailor your answers as you see fit to show how cool/desirable you are. Here is an example of how you could describe your answer to the last question that leaves a good impression and keeps the sexual tension up:
You: “My answer for the last question was almost embarrassingly pornographic in retrospect, as I look back at it now. I said I chose the ocean. I said that I want to run in till it’s too deep to run anymore, then dive in, parting the water with my hands and go down as deep in the water as I can go until my breath almost bursts, then come to the top and just swim as far and as long as I could until I was so exhausted, that I just can’t swim anymore.”
