Paul Jeffrey Ross[1] (born 1958/1959)[2] known by the pseudonym Ross Jeffries,[3] is an American author and pick-up artist.
Neil Strauss, in his 2005 book The Game, describes Jeffries as the "godfather" of the modern pick-up artist community.[3]
Career
In 1988, Jeffries started to study seduction.[4][5] He taught workshops and promoted a collection of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)-based techniques called "speed seduction".[4] His teachings claim to show men how to create the desired emotional state in a woman by leading her imagination for the purpose of seduction, rather than to focus on a specific behavior or action of hers, as the desired outcome.[6]
In 1992, he was on a segment of NBC's Faith Daniels Show, appearing with men's rights activist Mel Feit and feminist and ethicist Bruce Weinstein.[7] Jeffries has also been featured on The Dr. Phil Show, The Montel Williams Show, The Jane Whitney Show and The Daily Show, and is a self-described "speed seduction expert".[2][5][8] In 2000, Jeffries was featured on Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends.[9][10][11]
In 2000, Jeffries sued John White (also known as Don Steele) alleging invasion of privacy, business interference, slander and libel.[2]
In his book The Game, published in 2005, author Neil Strauss describes his experience shadowing Jeffries during Strauss' investigation of the seduction community.[3] He writes that Jeffries acted as the mentor to Mystery and himself.[4] Jeffries is Jewish.[3][12]
Tom Cruise's character in the film Magnolia was inspired by Jeffries according to the film's writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson.[13][14]
