#56: The Moral Case for Ethical Seduction & Why It's Necessary for Connection

There are two strategies men deploy when they're dating, but insecure. Either they try the "Nice Guy" approach or its opposite, the pickup artist approach. 

But even though these strategies are polar opposites, they suffer the same moral flaw of concealment. Whenever you put on a mask over yourself, you sever the possibility of authentic connection. 

The solution?

Ethical seduction based on radical transparency.

This way sounds harder because it is: It requires you to be honest with yourself and the person you're attracting. It's also scarier because you face the real risk of rejection. 

But you know what?

It's the only moral way to find your life partner. Plus, it's not just about being honest to your partner, but also being honest with yourself - the first step towards designing a deeply fulfilling life. 

In today's show, you'll discover the moral case for ethical seduction, why concealment kills connection, and a few simple ways to incorporate more ethical seduction in your love life and even your career (with real life examples you can try).
