The first thing you have to learn about "hustling" religious women is that you don't win them by being religious for the same reason that she doesn't fall romantically in love with her priest, minister, or bishop. That does not mean that you won't have to be religious (once you have won her) to keep her, because you probably will.

You have to understand the relationship of the religious woman with the wild woman. The religious woman does not necessarily want to be wild, but she envies the excitement experienced by the wild woman. That is the key to what is really going on in her mind. The wild woman, on the other hand, envies the stability of the religious woman.

The siren portion of her personality lies dormant inside the religious woman aching to get out. I don't mean that she is willing to become either a hypocrite or to renounce her religion for someone who will teach her of the "world." Occasionally yes, but usually not.

She wants to be a wholesome siren within the context of what her morality will allow. She needs acceptance and a man's encouragement in order to avoid being caught in the web of carrying her belief in "avoiding the appearance of evil" to an extreme, as she is apt to do. She has no desire for "evil," but this business of avoiding the appearance of evil hangs very heavily over her head. There are many things that her heart tells her are right, but she is afraid of what people will think.

The religious woman tends to live in a constant dread of offending someone. There is a great tendency for her to live her life in terms of other people's expectations for her. Unless she has internalized her value system before you meet her, she overly admires the strong, self-sufficient people who do what they want when they want to, regardless of what other people think.

The man who wins her will fill certain requirements. He must play off a certain willingness to draw out the siren in her against the backdrop of at least a basic goodness. He will joke and tease, cajole and wheedle her about how sexy, worldly, forward and seductive she is. He will tell her a whole host of things that she can deliciously deny. She will deny them at first, because even though she knows that he is jesting, she thinks that there must be a grain of truth in what he tells her. He must not let her think that he believes her denials for a single moment.
