Forbidden Fruit

 

  • Humans biologically want what other people want. This technique artificially inflates your value using 'Social Proof.'

HOW TO DO IT :

You need to casually mention that someone else desires you, but—and this is crucial—you must act annoyed by it.

  • Ugh, my ex keeps texting me, it's so annoying.
  • The bartender kept trying to give me free drinks, it was so awkward.

WHY IT WORKS :

  • If you brag about it, you look arrogant. If you complain about it, you look high-value and humble.
  • Your partner/crush will subconsciously think: 'Other people want them... I need to lock this down before I lose them.' It triggers their competitive instinct immediately.
