Ross Jeffries

Ross Jeffries (born Paul Jeffrey Ross on 20 September 1958) is a former unsuccessful [http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2000/jan/16/uk.duncancampbell] comedy writer and the creator of "Speed Seduction," a set of personal development writings and seminars that draw on Neuro-linguistic Programming and other hypnotic techniques. Jeffries claims these methods help men understand women, particularly their motivations and psychology, in order to successfully pick-up women. Ross's current version of "Speed Seduction" focuses on techniques of moving "energy" through the body and the practice of magick, for which there is no peer reviewed scientific evidence. His techniques and online persona have been the subject of some controversy.

peed Seduction

Jeffries is said to have started the seduction community due to his online posts. [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/09/13/DDGHGL3I291.DTL&hw=sex&sn=009&sc=392] He was the first of the Seduction Community to create a website, usenet newsgroup, and he also published books, CDs and Videos on what he believes will help men with dating women and self-improvement, and runs seminars.

The basis of the original Speed Seduction books and courses is the belief that a person feels the emotions expressed in a story or a linguistic pattern. The goal is to arouse women with words, to put them in a connected or sexual state. Phonetic ambiguity (such as "below me" vs "blow me") and anchoring are used. The concept is that by using "anchors" and "weasel phrases," these states can be anchored to oneself. From that point on, Jeffries says that the seducer can remind a woman of these emotional states by his appearance or touch, as explained in "How to Get the Women You Desire into Bed" (1992).

Jeffries' students have included David DeAngelo, a well-known seductionist. He was featured as a pick-up mentor to Neil Strauss in Strauss' bestselling book "The Game".

Controversy

Jeffries argues that his methods are completely different from the dating framework that is advocated by other romance gurus. However, others deny this, and it has earned him the nickname Mine99, as he says all the techniques are based on ones he developed in 1999. Jeffries considers the dating framework to be heavily promoted by the entertainment industry for commercial reasons and to be ineffective for bringing men and women closely together, either for sex or romance. Jeffries denies that he is a misogynist, claiming his techniques are designed to bring pleasure to both men and women through a deeper understanding of the needs of each person.
