Post subject:  Length of DHV story

I have a great DHV story which i naturally started telling friends....its about the time i (and a friend) smashed/broke a speed camera while drunk as I didnt want my friends to get caught by the camera that evening on their way home from the club, ended up getting a criminal record and had to move countries before my record was lodged (else \i wouldnt have been able to get a visa). Its an amazing story and quite action packed...it displays adventure/danger,ex gfriends/relationships...and then at the end displays how it changed my life completely for the better and if i had the chance i would do it all over again as it got me where i am today.

this story is about 15-20min long....short version is about 5-10min. up until now this story has had people glued to their seats....including the ladies. Is there any reason I should shorten it? I mostly tell this story to groups, havent really told it individually too often but im thinking 20min MIGHT be too long. My initial thoughts were the longer the better as long as youre keeping them hooked. it gives a longer period for you to display your personality and to make her see/feel the emotions attached to the experience i am conveying. also, the drama is in the detail and i feel shortening it will take away its effect.

thoughts?

i must say, if I was talking 'shit' for 15 min i would have lost many audiences by now, but their eyes are wide open and to say the least, they are fascinated by it....its just a dam pitty its so long. I do believe longer stories have their place as the audience's experience comes more from the actual telling of the story (drama/detail) rather than a punchline at the end, as with short stories.

Anyway im going to try and shorten it and cut out the fluff....(even though the fluff makes it what it is!) Maybe I should segment it and have pauses inbetween segments, this will give the audience a chance to ask for more inbetween the segments and I can follow on from each segment into the next. This way it doesnt seem like im the only one rambling on for 20min like a school teacher.

Visionxxx, props for the dhv story. I'd stick with the short version in the field in the A2 phase (after you hooked her with your attitude, bodylanguage, social proof, sex appeal, etc.. ;)) I should keep the long story for a day two, when you're alone with her bbq'ing at your backyard. Tell her the 20min version while you are busy marinating the meat or whatever.

I think some points I learned (tnx to Wilder) will help you:

- Write a short version out and optimalize it for your field game. Just erase everything the listener doesn't care about or need to know and limit the boring, but neccesary details as much as possible.
- Make sure you have a good lead-in for the story. (you probably already have)
- Trigger the listeners by giving them an initial hook. It means start your story off with something interesting. Your story is about how you got a criminal record by helping out your friends? Put that in front.. This way people care less about the boring but neccesary details later and will be really curious how it happened.
- Make sure you leave some unanswered questions in your story.
- Allude to the fact that you're adventurous, wealthy, like danger, have a lot of cute ex-girlfriends, good friends, you're a masterful lover, have a humungous cock, whatever you want.. Just don't tell it directly, make them ask you about it.
- keep that punch line in the end; sum that story up in a powerful way to let them know the story is over: "that day changed my life completely and if i had the chance, i'd do it all over again blabla"..

The way you tell your story can trigger a lot of emotions or attraction. Play with the tonality. You can play around with pausing in the middle of the sentence and start again to suck them in even more. Talk slow, fast, high, low.. Just field test the **** out of it and calibrate it to a perfect story for different situations. I think you have a big advantage that the story is natural so, you won't have any problems calibrating it.
