Post subject:  BS knowledge routine

I'm new to this entirely, but I was thinking about how people respond to points of interest and I came up with something.

Start a sentence with "Did you know..." and make up some lie, but make it interesting and tell it with a straight face like, "Did you know that they use ground animal bones in cardboard to make it cheaper?"
This usually gets a response like "Oh really?" because people don't think about it, if you're telling them an interesting fact they tend to believe it, especially if you include statistical numbers (95% of all blah blah). This is a perfect opening for a NEG (I think, I'm new at this remember?) when you say "No, I was just messing with you I can't believe you fell for that!"

The interesting fact can also relate directly to the situation: "Did you know 95% of people with green eyes blah blah..."

Feedback appreciated.

Oh, I forgot to mention, this can be used for callback humor. Try another one a little while later, I've found that people repeatedly fall for it. This makes them feel like they have an inside joke with you even if they don't fall for it again.

GREAT!!! Very very very very good routine. I will start using this in most sets. I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the future man, welcome! Reps for you :D

Oh thanks! It's awesome that I got positive feedback, now I feel like I want to work out some kinks with things in this community.

For instance, my friend and I went down to Fort Collins (we live in Laramie Wyoming, NO WOMEN) for a day to walk around and cold approach anybody on the street. We were just having fun, the only goal was to talk to people. We almost always had positive responses but there was a hang up point we reached. One opener we used I just made up for fun:
My friend: Are you fast?
Girl: In what way/confused answer of course.
Friend: Are you fast? Would you be willing to race my friend here?
Girl: Like a footrace?/whatever she decides to say
Friend: Yeah, I'll be the judge you guys can race to the end of the street and back....etc.
The whole time my job was to interject smartass/funny comments and get dialog going with the girl and her friend(s). There were some good responses, nobody raced me (In which case I was planning on faking them out to cheat anyway) but it was a fun topic. It seemed to work as an opener and get some good dialog going, but it seemed to have the same problem as another we thought of. We bought crazy vests at Salvation Army and asked people which was better for a while, then when we got bored with that we decided to trade people anything for the vests, then continue the trades until several random objects had passed through our hands. Again, this was fun and interesting.

The problem seemed to come when the topic ended. When the conversations ran their courses we parted ways with the set because it seemed to be the natural thing to do. We saw some repeats (always excited to see us again) but they declined things like getting ice cream at one of the million nearby ice cream shops. Looking at the situation, this might be because neither of us knew what step to take next, or it could be because the situations were weird enough that there is no logical next step (just some weird guy on the street, not a guy flirting?)

Advice? I'm sure somebody knows exactly what's wrong.

In my opinion the problem here is with your transitioning. By the sounds of it, you don't have much problem opening and being yourself, which is great! Opening is the hardest part of the conversation for many people. You need to transition to a different conversation before they get bored though. It could be anything...
When I run out of material I usually resort to jewelry. I know quite a bit about rings, so I usually go with that is an interesting ring! Can I see it? This gets kino going cuz she should give you her hand. What does it mean? I then sometimes do a magic trick with the ring or run the ring routine to DHV myself etc... You could use anything of interest, just make sure you transition before convo dies out. Just practice and it will become natural. Good luck and keep up the good work! :D

I agree, its just all about transitioning, and the way to do that is to BE PREPARED. You wouldn't go into a school test not studying (hopefully). Same here.

Learn a bunch of the routines posted, and study them, practice them, and memorize them until you have a bunch of routines ready to go at any time. Then once you do your opener, read the situation and decide which memorized routine is most appropriate for your next topic. But the key is PREPARE!!!! Imagine having 10 different routines memorized perfectly. Do you think you'd really have a problem at that point, keeping the convo going?

Also, sometimes, you just have to do a bold move. In the middle of the day, unlike a bar, ppl have places to go. They might not be able to afford talking to you for 20 minutes. So keep the convo going as long as you can, but read them too. If they really seem like they have to go somewhere, end the convo yourself with a bold statement/question.

Look, I gotta go meet up with my friend, SHE was supposed to meet me around 5:00. But I'd love to continue this conversation over coffee sometime. Or you can I gg meet my friend, what are you doing tonite, I'm heading down to the ___ bar with a bunch of friends, you should join us.

Then you can either get her number, or possibly just plan a place/time to meet.

If you have correctly attracted her in the short time you were talking, you stand a good chance that she'll give you her number. There are definitely some times where you just have to be bold like this and say what you want. Otherwise, she's going to walk away anyway, so you might as well just say what you want and ask for her number (with very NON-NEEDY bodylanguage, as if it doesn't make much difference to you whether she gives it to you or not). Do it right, and she probably will.

Post subject:  Awesome

I loved this post! Props for comin up with it. Totally agree with what the other guys said too.

Could possibly extend it with:

You: OMG! (pointing and looking at a spot over her shoulder) check it out, that walls got gullible written on it!

Her: (turning) Where!?!

You: (smile and wait for her to realise) or w /e


But I dunno maybe its a stronger routine without it?
