Bait - Hook - Reel - Release



The "Bait—Hook-Reel-Release" metaphor is one that continually resurfaces in study of the game. One way to apply it is in A3. You want to give IOIs to the target, but you don't want to seem too easy. (Otherwise she won't appreciate your pair bond; instead she will enjoy your IOIs as a validation of her sexual power, but she will lose attraction for you.)



The idea is to make the woman demonstrate higher value to you. Bait her into telling you interesting things about herself (not "what do you dot") so when she replies (the hook) you can IOI her (reel her in) only to push her off again (release her from the pressure of being hit on.) This process repeats several times.



Here is an example for you to use in-field right away

You: [Bait] What nationality are you?

Her: [Hook] French.

You: [Reel] Seriously? No WAY!!! The girl I had the biggest crush on in high school was French! [Release] I can't even talk to you now.

Every time she gives you a demonstration of higher value, you indicate your interest to her. This way she will believe your IOIs, and when you fully SOI her, she will feel like she really deserves it. This allows your attraction for her to legitimately grow over several minutes instead of just IOIing her because she first IOI'd you.



An important aspect of the Mystery Method is to restructure routines to be in context with YOUR IDENTITY in particular. Take the time to write up some personalized routines with this in mind. Again, make yours congruent with your identity. You do not have to be a magician to do the Mystery Method, but you do need a strong identity
