    Main points : 1.Seduction is a skill that you choose what to do with it. 2.Seduction is about charm, self confidence, pride and appeal 3.Seduction's formula : - Desire (keeping the "maybe" alive is the skill of presenting potential possibilities and then fueling them with desire) - Confidence - Body language - Arousal (waken up the desire in someone and lure it out) 4.Everyone has the power to seduce but it's different in how you use it and when to do so.

    I see her point, but I feel like the examples she offered to some elements of claiming seduction are kind of problematic because they lack consent and look like harassment. Concerning body language, calling after random women on the street "Linda!" "Preciosa!" sounds more like a form of street harassment - cat-calling. Moreover, seduction shouldn't include going for what you want blindly, ignoring others' limits and dignity. There is nothing charming in men ignoring "no"s. There is nothing right in insisting on getting someone after they've made if clear you are not welcomed.

    Here is a simple truth: seductiveness is related closely to attractiveness (which is subjective to the viewer). Someone can enhance their appeal to you by acting in a seductive way; but if you simply don't find the person attractive, then there is nothing they can do to change that. Ask yourself - if someone who you did not find attractive was dancing like that, would you be seduced?

    Ok so I just watched a TED talk on "An epidemic of beauty sickness" so this is like the next end of the spectrum. What was valuable to me from this is the fact that in Cuba, there is no advertising so your self esteem and self worth isn't dictated by the media. That is very important in the self confidence aspect. I understand what she's saying and I feel like that was the teenage maybe even twenties me. I just don't feel like it's healthy in some other cultures around the world for a married couple to be this randomly seductive unless it's with each other. What do you guys think?

    Loyalty and integrity are a thing. Seduction also has its place and it is not always the only way or the way to be used to express your confidence. Confidence comes from self acceptance and integrity comes from holding oneself accountable to the right ethics. That talk on confidence and body language is all good. Seduction is not bad as long as it is presented formally within the limits of your environment, to be balanced with the yin and yang of both people again.

But when you get lonely, when you loose yourself and don't get to go to many events anymore, you understand that confidence needs to come from within. What you said is so true : "confidence comes from self acceptance and integrity comes from holding oneself accountable to the right ethics". For me, as long as the seduction isn't a need for you to feel confident, it can be fun in your everyday life :)

    well yea a married couple... it's good to do it on one another, someone could even make a claim that it's necessary for an exciting marriage - because the passion in marriage always fades away into something else... but if the most important point is being seductive in a way that I see myself as beautiful, as attractive, if I love the parts in me that give and recieve pleasure and intimacy, and I'm free to play and dance with these parts, then it's the same as in marriage. Is it more difficult to seduce a stranger than someone who already knows you and have a lot of history with? That's an interesting question... What if the partner doesn't respond, doesn't see you? that can be disappointing and can lead to even insecurity, anger... and here comes the art of seduction again, but it takes two to tango...

    GOOD NEWS for most of us here! I'm a 50 year old, medium height, slightly pot-bellied, brown skinned, black haired, ugly faced male! (sob!!). I often hear women say about me behind my back, "yikes, what an ugly pig". But now I have hope, she said that "everybody has in them the power to seduce, you simply have to unleash it". I'm gonna start unleashing it first thing in the morning, at work, with my female boss who is half my age, blond and beautiful. Thank you so much Ms Chen Lizra. If I don't post the result on here by tomorrow, it's because it didn't work and I lost my job. And one more thing, two of my best friends are equally ugly (that's why we stick together) and I'm gonna, like a good friend, pass on your advice to them too. So far, the three of us have always believed that the world is broadly comprised of two groups of people; the ugly (like us), and the not-ugly to beautiful (like them). Just for the record, my last (and only) girlfriend dumped me because she found me very ugly and unattractive. So now you see why I'm brimming with new hope after watching this video. Jackson, Mississippi.

    perikaveera, you are totally right as for seduction part. However, trust me, there's still bunch of girls that don't really care much about looks and are interested more in personality. Women are generally built to be less visual than men, and not to mention the fact that tastes vary sooooo much that what may be considered unbelievably ugly by one culture or a person, it could be considered pretty attractive to another culture or person so don't lose hope bro! Trust me there's always someone waiting for each of us :) Patience is not one of the best virtues for nothing!

    well if you think your looks are really out of the norm and you suffer from that fact, then maybe you should take some actions. Go to the gym, at least you are not short, being medium height is good, you can be fit and not look like the "short guy that's trying to make up for his shortness with being muscular". Have facial surgery, a facelift, a nose job ? Maybe fix your teeth, work on your breath if it's not so fresh. you're not bald so praise the lord. The pressure to look attractive weights down so much on women, it's crippling, I know, I am a woman. It consumes your life, you have to spend hours to shave, pluck, brush, straighten, curl, anoint, hydrate, moisturized, conceal, enhance etc...etc....We lose hours every week in a pursuit of a perfection that can never be attained. It is exhausting, and mentally damaging. I have accepted that I cannot compete with other women if I do not shave or put on make up, because if I don't I look bland (no, my cheeks and lips are not naturally rosy, and my eye lashes are not naturally that dark and thick, and I actually do have dark circles, under that coat of makeup) Worse I can look "gross" if I don't shave like other women (when females become women, they grow hairs, I don't understand why society shames us for becoming adults and try to make us revert to the bodies we had when we were 10...sick sick world we live in). So, when I want to "see" a man (casually, like in finding a sex friend), I start dressing a lil bit more feminine, no more large tshirt and sneakers, I put on a nice pair of skinny jeans and some heels, and a lacey blouse. I used to date men, but not anymore, I never want to get stuck in a relationship in which a man tells me "my friends tell me you are ugly, but you are pretty when you put on make up so put on make up when we go out". I know I am not good enough as I am and I need enhancement when I go in public with my partner, but I don't really want to be good enough anymore. This is the society we live in Perikaa, you have to accept it and change because society won't change for you :/ It's hard for every body and remember, we are all struggling. Good luck to you. XXX

As I grew up, I questioned myself on why am I like this or is it too much or should I change myself? Over the years I embraced this art and kept on getting better at this, however, wasn’t sure if it was right and always named it “elegance” Thank you so much for this talk and explaining about seduction, it has given me a sense of validation and makes me feel more confident!

    Before I watched this video, I checked all the comments. It gave me an idea how people perceived the message of the video. It gave me different angles so I could decide on my own if those had some truth in them. So I started this video fearing the worst, I had read some pick up artist articles and those made me very depressed about humanity. Their sole purpose was sex, lots of sex, just sex like an animal, artificial manipulative sex, wich grossed me out a lot. I can tell this video wasnt anything like that and the comments surprised me. The message of this video was, that in cuba, people are very confident. Not only confident in their sexuality, but also about their body, self image, and because of that they are not afraid to show interest or express what is in their heart. That confidence and fearlessness plays into all aspects of life. Arguably cuba is not a very succesfull country, ofcourse depending on what you label as succes, happiness is harder to label then economic numbers . But you cannot argue successful and happy people are usually confident about themselves or ability to do something. Sometimes the line between narcism and being very self confident is thin or subtle. This woman speaks rational about seduction and the aspects of it, such as an very important one, how you were raised and how it plays into your self image. The factor height for example, is an aspect wich can affect your confidence, and a research showed that managers were more then not above the average height. I can talk about some more truthful things she told, but I conclude this video is not bullshit. If you think it is I feel sorry you can't think rational because of emotions, intelligence, hypocrisy, denial, delusions and small-mindedness.

    Nikki Berry regarding the "easy conclusion" - and this is just a thought I just had and didn't follow too deep: maybe fear plays a role too, along with knowing to be one of the repressed people that society spills out way too often. So hating her is easier than admiting to be inhibited - even easier than to change yourself to be more open-minded. So hate her instead and maybe find someone else, who's just as thick, to join and hate together. It's a way to connect to others, too - just not as pleasing as seduction. As said, just a simple thought. On the other hand I would advise against too much sexual seduction within our culture - people aint used to it and many would certainly get it wrong, being pissed afterwards. So when going to charm someone, always make sure not to deliver the wrong message. Finally regarding myself: I'm charming to people I meet over the day; in the store, on the street, at my workplace. So much that I've ben called "someone who twists people around his finger" (translated German saying - don't know if that fits in English). But I dont "use" people and I'm very confident, that the people I met live a happier day after seeing me, because they always leave with a smile on their face that wasn't there before we met. It's not getting to something I wouldn't get otherwise. It's not exploitation. It's just being sociable and nice. There's nothing wrong in seducing someone into sharing a simple smile :-) ...and I'm happy having found D Jnsen s comment in contrast to the weird one that received 107 likes and 113 answers O_o

    She used the body language, dance and Cuba references as an analogy to seduction in its pure meaning, which is "enticing". That's why she mentioned many times that seduction is about knowing what a person wants, or presenting something in a way that makes it attractive to others. It's all about knowing what you've got and using it in its best way to get what you want. It's totally plausible to put this definition in a professional environment, exposing your ideas and projects, for example. I'm pretty sure that by "seducting" she didn't mean "dancing in someone's lap to get shit". When she said people should learn seduction in a young age, do you really think she said we should sexualize ourselves? Open your minds a little bit more. --'

    In my humble opinion I think that, the "no"that turns into" maybe", that turn into "yes" is itself a form of sexism, and show us that sexism is in us, in all of us, man and woman.. No one would conceive a no, turning to maybe turning to yes, if we were free from sexism We would simply, once asked, answer what you really feel whether is yes or not... That "no" that the Cuban woman says in the story here, is not an real "no" but is based on a sexist cultural weight that we all have on us that manipulate our behaviour.. Maybe if sexism didn't exist she would have said "yes" as first answer.. Here is what they are talking about, the presenter said that cubans are able to read if a no is a real no, means they go over the first sexism barrier that doesn't allow that woman to say, at first, what she really feels.. Here we are not talking about, manipulating the others with mental strategies, harassing someone, or forcing someone to say yes, here we are just talking about reading between the lines using our inners senses, in that place where disparities and misconception don't exist, reading in that place not made from words, sexism, feminism, here we are talking about desire, and being passionate about life and this is a non verbal language that is not attached to human issues, and it go beyond our society cultural heritage. To me just reinforce the idea that feminism is necessary to make us live our own life as free people, and I didnt feel this video's message was going otherwise..

    It seems fairly clear to me that if the goal is authentic and open engagement in life, seduction is neither necessary nor sufficient. To practice it as a means to open doors or gain power can be an introduction to meaningful interaction, but seduction cannot be that in and of itself. To use any form of power and avoid its inherent corrupting influence requires a discipline that most lack. Otherwise, the ability to push that button can come to own the button pusher.

    And yes the concept of flirting is what she used to prove the importance of seductiveness. However, I advise that we think about these TEDx talks a little deeper to receive the full benefit of their knowledge, by applying all of these topics to life in general. Seductive pretty much means extremely attractive. Kind of like when you can't take your eyes of something. Now the strength of seduction is all about the presentation, which is why she stated that it is like an art. We have to open our eyes to see that we are being seduced and are seducing as well every single day; at work, home, online, church, with family, friends, kids, everyone. Its not all sexual. See Americans tend to take things at face value, and never give it a second thought, which is very judgmental, unfortunately. That's called stereotyping...

I believe(as soon as I understood her), she treats seduction not only like the means of getting what u want,not only like the way of manipulation. She says that to be able to seduce someone,u have to be self-confident first,u have to love urself and believe in yourself enough to be able to accept your nature and be satisfied with just who u are,when you feel powerful,you can make others obey to ur power,when u are ready to keep on going without fear of failure ,without fear of being rejected-if u have all of this pieces of jigsaw puzzle put together,you are self-sufficient enough to seduce someone. It's not only about playing games,it's about necessity of self-belief,self-pride,about being accomplished. Don;t u agree?

    ***** "It's onto the next person who is willing to play along"..hmmm..well,I believe there are different ways to seduce (depending on what exactly u want to get from that one who u are attempting to seduce),that's why I think there is a big difference between "seducing" and "playing". If two people don;t mind ending somewhere in the bedroom ,then yeah, they just start " playing" with each other,to make "the game" more interesting and such a game won't last long,But anyways it is mutual consent Seducing is another thing.Of course,u can seduce instantly by getting naked or dancing striptease which would be simply to do,but the real power of seduction is to "get what the other person is missing and give it to them",to get into someone's head and heart ,to possess their thoughts,to learn them "from inside". Manipulating is to make ppl believe everything they do is their decision To be Seduced means to be tempted,means to lose ur head and not being able to resist,even if u realise the other person can use u.

You are beautiful because you exist, nobody scales your beauty unless you expect them to do so. That applies to your body as also your mind. So just imagine yourself as the child, dancing around the people who love you and just feel loved, appreciated and sexy.

The ones who can use it effectively are the ones who will fulfill their dreams and hopes by bending people to their will. Creators like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates had this ability and not only bent people to their will but also the world and their future.

    Florian Melzer Then Lirzra would do well to use a dictionary every once and a while. "Seduction", in its most popular English vernacular, is a deliberate act to charm or persuade in a manner that is specifically _sexual_. Without that keyword, there's no need for the word to even exist. Whereas "seduction" is sometimes used synonymously with the more general terms charm or persuasion in a nonsexual way, this video is decidedly about the sexual mode from her examples of voice, body language, arousal, and flirtatious behavior. Ask yourself, what do you think the recipient expects the seducer is offering when she acts that way? Her platonic friendship? Her life advice? No, it's sex or something related to it, implicit or explicit. If that's the seducer's actual goal to begin with then that's fine, but Lizra's description of seduction as a power to be used in everyday life to "build connections" implies its use outside of that purpose "to get anything". In other words, use the lure of sex to get things you want. That's her message regardless of how metaphorically she flowers her speech with talk of empowerment. According to Lizra, the trick is to know how to use seduction and when. Note how she doesn't answer _why_.

It's ambiguous because of her "flowery language" whether or not she really is referring to getting things through "sexual acts" or not. She might have been dancing in a "sexual" way but it is ambiguous whether she is using this as an example of seduction as in persuasion to catch her audience's attention or if she is making a statement and telling people to get the things they want with sexual endeavors.
