Ross Jeffries is a former comedy writer and the creator of "Speed Zan
Seduction," a set of teachings that draws from Neuro Linguistic
Programming and other hypnotic techniques. Jeffries claims these methods help men
understand women, particularly their motivations and psychology, in order to successfully
establish sexual relations. Ross has taught at numerous seminars in locations including Los
Angeles, New York and London. Ross's current version of Speed Seduction focuses on
techniques of moving energy through the body and "magick". He and his supporters claim
great success in changing the attitudes and thought processes of men seeking success with
women.

Ross was born in September of 1958 and was raised under the Jewish faith in Gardena-
Hawthorne, L.A., California. He had a variety of jobs, and worked at various times
insurance claims adjustor, marketing assistant, paralegal, and failed comedy writer. But it
was the notion of Neuro Linguistic Programming, the basis of a book by Richard Bandler,
that made him leave all of these careers behind to pursue a more psychological life. Ross'
nephews (Gabriel, Gideon, and Eitan) frequent his seminars. They are his apprentices in the
seduction practice and Ross refers to them as his "pimp nephews."

Speed Seduction
Jeffries was the first of the Seduction Community to create a site and publish user-friendly
books on dating women and self-improvement. His first book, "How To Get the Women
You Desire Into Bed," created a huge buzz[citation needed] and online communities were
created to discuss and aid the development of the art of seduction[citation needed]. Ross has
many products, including "Unstoppable Confidence," "Fear into Charisma," "Gold Walk-
Up," his seduction home-study course spanning 13 audio CD's and a 107 page
accompanying book, and his seminars. From the Bahamas to Palo Alto to London, he
lectures seminars on "Hyper-Responsive Connections."

The basis of the original Speed Seduction books and courses is that a person feels the
emotions expressed in a story or a linguistical pattern, and by using anchors and "weasel
phrases," these states can be anchored to you. From that point on, you can remind a woman
of these emotional states by your appearance or touch, as featured in How to Get the
Women You Desire into Bed (1992).

A student of Richard Bandler's NLP school, Jeffries was the first to apply the NLP
persuasion tactics to the dating field in a structured and systematic way.[citation needed] Jeffries'
students have included Style, David DeAngelo, Orion, Swinggcat, Stevie PUA, Papa,
IN10SE, Rick H and Kamal, almost all of whom have become seductionists.

Jeffries successfully collaborated for a number of years on SS Seminars and products with
retired Air Force Major Yates Canipe and retired Army Major Mark Cunningham [1], a
classically trained hypnotist from Ohio.

Ross Jeffries now collaborates with Vince Kelvin and his team at "The Los Angeles Self
Empowerment Center".

He was featured as a pick-up mentor to Neil Strauss in Strauss' bestselling book "The
Game".

Examples of Speed Seduction Theory

The "Basic Speed Seduction" course consists of CD/DVD recordings of a three-day live
seminar, a workbook, and a deck of NLP "Patterns" used to structure sentences as
commands. The system has you speak some words of a sentence at a normal tone, while the
parts of the sentence you want the person to interpret subliminally as a command are said at
a lower register. An example of a Pattern would be, "I told my dog to go inside the house."
The words "go inside" may be interpreted by the unconscious mind as a command. A
weasel phrase would be to say something without directly violating the other. For example,
"Just for the sake of me getting to know you better what would someone have to do to
get you totally intrigued?" Another Jeffries device is phonetic ambiguity. Sentence
example: "Standing on the hill, I could see the river twinkling below me." According to
Jeffries, the words "below me" could be unconsciously interpreted as an embedded
command to "blow me". Especially, if at the point those words were spoken, you spread
your hands palms up with fingers pointing down at the crotch area.

However as one advances through the Speed Seduction courses/products, the entire
technique changes to traits like Signal Recognition, essential NLP skills and defusing the
approaches of other AFCs (average frustrated chumps). In various seminars (palo alto 02',
London 03') he rumors of writing a new book.

Controversy
Jeffries argues that his methods are completely different from the "dating framework" that
is advocated by other "romance gurus." He 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. [2] Controversy has
also appeared towards Jeffries's online presence, arguing with other Pickup Artist's (PUA's)
such as Tyler Durden[3] and various other members of the mASF over general technique,
principles and original creation of techniques.

There is controversy over how various Speed Seduction "Forbidden Patterns" such as
"October man sequence" are kept "secret" to all but a few.[citation needed]

Film portrayals
Jeffries is rumored to be the model for Tom Cruise's character in the 1999 movie Magnolia,
Frank "T.J." Mackey, a predatory "seduction guru." Cruise himself denies this, though Paul
Thomas Anderson, who wrote and directed the film, stated in the magazine "Creative
Screenwriting" that Jeffries was the main inspiration for the Mackey character.[citation needed]
At the 2003 London Speed Seduction Seminar, Jeffries re-enacted Cruise's opening scene
in Magnolia, complete with Richard Strauss' music as featured in the film.
