I've been skimming through my hopper of unfinished (and in some cases, unstarted) work and came across a file labeled "The Incubus Philosopher" last edited in 2014. It reads:
On "Pickup Artists"
There are only ever two steps to seducing a woman. First you learn who she is, then you dismantle who she thinks she should be. Anything beyond that - the "negging," and the sidling and the ridiculous peacock behavior should be left for the sort who lap up little puddles of desire and are fooled into thinking they've drunk deeply.
I should know of what I speak. I've seduced thousands of women and been one myself for decades at a time. Most of society's power is bent towards hobbling the innate power of women in full control of their own sexuality. When I was a woman at the height of my power, kings and generals would have given me whatever I asked just to fuck me. Even if the rest of the world wants to burn you at the stake, there is phenomenal power there - one no man can achieve unless he convinces a lot of other men to point their swords in the same direction and stab everyone between you and your goals.
(I have a really epic story centered around a college for magic rattling around in my head that I hope I'll get to write some day.)
