Telling Stories THE GUIDE

Telling stories to a group of people is one of the best ways to generate
attraction in pick-up when done correctly. What follows are several things to
consider when choosing and crafting stories for use in the field during
attraction phases. They're more guidelines than hard and fast rules, as you
can break most of them when you know what you're doing.

1. Story material- This is close to a no-brainer. Choose stories that are
interesting, fun and GIRL RELEVANT! Avoid stories about distasteful subjects,
i.e. death, car accidents, bad breakups, etc. Usually these stories are funny.
Use stories you tell often to friends and new people that get big laughs.

2. Be succinct. Write your story out word for word and then gut it. Get rid
of everything the listener doesn't need to know and doesn't care about. It's
essential that you're ruthless here. Better to cut too much than too little.
State the boring but necessary details as succinctly as possible.

3. Lead in- This is how you start the story. The lead in should be congruent
with the story to follow. Communicate using words, tonality and energy the
type of story to follow. Some examples are, 'Oh my God, the
funniest/craziest/weirdest thing happened to me the other day!' or 'Did you
guys ever notice XXX?' or 'You'll never believe this, check it out''

4. Initial hook- An initial hook is something that makes peoples' ears perk up.
It should be as close to the beginning of the story as possible and should be
specifically chosen to make people lean in and pay attention. If your story is
about something that happened to you at an S & M party, put that part up front!
