Anyone have any tips on this. My conversations skills are getting better but whenever I want to tell a story, it's kind of flat. Only reason I am able to get laid is because I am a closer. I am able to get to the close. However, I do want to tell good stories because they are good stories. Just not giving them the pizzazz that they deserve when I tell it

Damn, those storys are terrible
Those are those boring ass storys that the bum on the street tells you for one hour and at the end you go "erm...ha ha i guess"

Follow this structure and thanks me later. You can make any stories by using this structure.

Hooking (a line to get her attention): "I went shopping and while I was out I saw the most fucked thing ever". She will basically say what or would be silent for you to carry on the story.

Injecting emotions (basically talking about how you reacted to the situation): "I saw an old man taking his top off and I could see his hairy nipples I felt like puking I can't get that image out of my fucking mind hahaha". She will react to the situation by talking about how disgusting it is or something along those lines.

Bridging the story ( depending how long your story is you will need another minor hooking line, if the story has 2 parts to it then you 1 minor hooking line or if it has 3 parts to it then you need 2): "The next thing he did was even more fucked up" she'll say what is it and then say "he winked at me what the fuck do I look gay to you lool".

Be personal (inject humor into the story and have pauses to make it more interesting)

Good luck

Look on google, little motherfucker.

rb64,

Good question. I struggled with this for ages, but now I can improvise stories.

There is a formula for creating funny stories.

KEEP IT SHORT!

Your aim is not to be the center of attention, just to pass on something about your world. And make her giggle are laugh in the process. You don't want to drag the story out when no-one is interested, just because you feel good with people looking at you. There's no ego here!

Tell it because you know people will enjoy it, and keep it short so they don't get bored!

BEGIN WITH PASSION!

Often, you don't need a "hook line", in natural conversation, that seems contrived and strained. You don't want to appear try-hard. So saying something like, "Oh! That reminds me of the time I ate a shark in Las Vegas, did I tell you about that one?" Is lame, old-skool, and should be avoided.

Plus, you don't want to give away the ending!

Just pop-up in the conversation, passionately and spontaneously with something like, "Oh, no way, I just remembered!"

SET THE SCENE

First of all, you need a few details, where did this story happen? When? Who was around?

For example:

"When I was in America, I was like... 7... and I was with my dad and my brother.... well, my dad wanted to by a corndog... but..."

THE OBSTACLE

All stories have challenges, or things that go wrong. A story is usually made up of a problem and then a solution. This can be from big stories to small stories. There is always some challenge to overcome. Think Harry Potter... the challenge is voldemort. And it goes on throughout the whole series...

For the sake of my story, the challenge is the British accent.

"my dad said, in a British accent, May I have a corn dog please?...
And the guy serving was like, 'erm,,, sorry sir, i don't understand you..."

THE CHARACTERS

You always want to imitate people if you can. When you are telling a story about PEOPLE. Act those people and describe them. You can mock their walk, or say they have a big nose, or some funny characteristic. This always gets an extra laugh... When I do an American accent, it is always funny.

THE FINISH

This is usually the resolve, the funny ending, it stops, and then you let the other people continue the conversation. Or continue your mockery of the characters for a bit of extra fun.

"So my brother suddenly pipes up and yells, in an American accent...
Yo, I wanna cooooorrrrnnnndoooogggg, yeah?"
And the checkout guy goes, "Oh! A corndog! Coming up sir, why didn't you say so?"

That's all there is to it.

The story itself might seem stupid, but if you check it out, it's got DHV's, (I was in America - scene setting) It's got charisma (acting the characters) and it's got humour (ending on a laugh), plus the DHV of talking about family, which builds comfort too.

Largely, it's about how you tell the story, not the story itself. Remember that YOU make life fun. YOU can take anything and add pizzazz.

Glad to help.

Answering quickly, two things come to mind as for story telling:

1) Modulate your voice depending on what is happening in the story. For instance, I sometimes tell a story of how a group of friends got me to party every night for days in a row, and I'd go with an exhausted voice saying "And after the first night I was feeling like shit, hangover and all, and all I wanted was to sleep" then I switch to a very enthusiastic voice "And then somebody shouted IT'S 7PM LET'S PARTY AGAIN!" Don't be afraid to push it further down the way of expressivity, you'll notice by the look of people when you start overdoing it. Listen to a couple of Anthony Robbins seminars to see how an expressive voice sounds like.

2) Pepper the story with mentions of how you or some other person felt. Girls react more to feelings than to facts (no wonder one of the questions they like being asked the most is "How do you feel about it?"). When describing a situation, make sure to add these feeling details like "I was feeling like shit" or "And then I looked at her like WTF?" or "And I could see on his face that it was the most beautiful day in his life"

Other than that, you can practice by joining a storytelling group, or watching some standup comedian shows and studying how they pace and give their sketches.

Unless you are skilled at telling stories, just avoid it.

It's a boring form of conversation that leads to monologues and over-talking. Stories about your work, are boring unless you're a cop, fireman, or in the entertainment industry. Stories about your bros are boring, too unless something unusual happened. Instead, focus on the moment, people in the room, riff on things in real-time, including her.

You're born with story telling skills.

Most guys try to be the "joke guy" or the "story guy" and they end up sounding like Buzz Killington from family guy. Most stories are delivered in a non-organic fashion with zero continuity.

A man has got to know his limitations.

Learning to cook is a skill acquired through repetition. Most anyone is capable of being a cook.

That's a limiting belief. People told me that about singing and social vibe, in each case I proved them wrong.

Thanks so far guys. I have to disagree, I believe anyone can learn to tell stories. I'm going to prove that in the coming months with these tips.

Everyone can learn to tell stories, sure.

But not everyone can learn to tell GOOD stories.

So many guys are Buzz Killington with stories.

Everyone is born with a strength. For some it's physical intelligence (NBA players, NFL), for others it's creative intelligence (Stephen King, J.K. Rowling) for others it's mathematical intelligence.

Great storytelling is something you are born with. I'm not saying a man can't improve his storytelling. But I am saying that a man should know his strength's and weaknesses.

Right, and this is a weakness for me. I'm not saying I'm gonna be the next Stephen king. But I can get decent at it.

Yeah, probably.

But a few important things for anyone interested in going the "story" route: this involves dominating the discussion, and breaking the 30-70% rule.

Short, witty banter is always preferred. Save the stories for the post-sex "tell me a secret" time.

9's and 10's with lots of options will tolerate a guy who jibber jabbers for only so long. It's considered feminine to do most of the talking.

Women want the Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood type. They may be amused by the frat boy life of the party type, but it grows old. You may think you're "playing the room" by talking a lot and charming everyone, but it's not typically the case. Less is usually more, and what you leave out is more important than what you leave in.

I used to game with a few friends who had a small advantage over me because of age. They would always talk themselves out of attraction by trying to control the room and telling story after story. After their failed hook-up or failed first date, the girl would bounce to me, and it would work out for as long as I wanted it to. This infuriated my wing men. And of course I did not share my game with them, just nodded when they asked why she fucked me and not them.

The reality is they were behaving as the pleaser type in their over-communication. And the more they talked, the more this became apparent.

There's a fine line between being amusing, and being the old drunk who won't shut up.
