anyone have any pointers? How to kino people in a store and the like? Other people in class?

I am especially struggling with using it to convey alpha status within a group of guys.

Only you can judge when kino is appropriate. I always like to start by placing my palm on her upper arm, and leaving it there if she doesn't back away. The usage is fairly simple. Here's an example:

*During the middle of a conversation, abruptly say*: Hey! Do you think I look like a drug dealer? Or blah blah blah.

Obviously you move in for kino at the same time you say 'hey'. This way, you make sure you have their attention AND you get some kino happening at the same time.
Try it out some time!

dude.dont complicate things.trust the instincts your ancestors have given u (mystery).if it feels natural, just do it and dont think about it.if u think about it she will notice that it doesnt feel natural to you.if it doesnt to u its not going to feel natural to her.good luck!

Is it that you freeze up or you're clueless of what to do?
If you freeze up, then you just gotta relax (which'll come with time as long as you don't give up)
If you're clueless, well I just finished a book on kino escalation haha.
Tell me because I'll explain only if you need the help.

Plenty of guides on here, do a search dude...

My kino is weak too, and the other night I was concerned that my forearm touches were being negatively anchored. I'd use forearm touches in the manner described above, and I must have used it in the same context 2-3 times that night. I was wondering if touching her arm, when you are using touch to draw her into the conversation - won't that anchor like... neediness, or other negative qualities to the act of touching her arm?

Ive just started but I have found an easy way to use kino in stores and pretty much anywhere

PALM READING

I start with an opener that goes like this, "Hey me and a friend just saw this person who claims to be a psychic and now my friend is all paranoid because the psychic told him that he was going to die young and have like 4 midlife crisis's. Would you be paranoid? or is he overreacting?

It really doesn't matter what her answer is because then you say.

Well the psychic taught me how to read palms, here give me your hand.

Bam kino started, and the heart line is a great way to get the conversation moving into something more sexual which helps to create the sexual tension between the two of you.

Well, let's start with starting. I took a very nice crap, so pleasing it's worth mentioning.

Anyways, kino is something that you'll have to push realllyy hard to get comfortable with.
Your comfort zone is your enemy until your comfort zone is at a good level.
So push your limits and just do it, don't hesitate.

with kino the main thing is to feel comfortable doing it. You can get away with a lot if you make the other person feel comfortable. Start small with a subtle touch of the arm when you're getting someone's attention, a small tap with the back of your hand when your telling a funny story, just little things like to warm up to people and soon enough you will have them comfotable with your touch and you will become more natural with it.

Touch everyone to start... dudes, girls... i always do a "bill clinton" - that is, when I shake a dudes hand, i bring the other one in on his fore arm or upper arm. Having confidence and class will put you miles above the other dudes.

Just know you are the leader, and are welcoming THEM to your reality.

As for girls, I'll always do a little bit of an extended hand shake, holding just a second longer.

I also love to have people give me hi fives.. i'll usually have one girl out of the group who gets to high five me -- usually it's not the target.

Kino is easy..but it's best learnt by obeserving someone thats good at it...

Whenever a girl tells a funny joke or says something strange I usually just "kino-ping" give light push on the arm and laugh/throw a neg, say ha your such a Dag! This is done in the inital stages of meeting a girl...

When I have developed more raport I usualy do a few highfives etc. or Use J-Dog's "Pinky Love" move which he does in the 1st episode of the Pick Up Artist...

Then when a girl is either IOD-ing or sometimes SOI-ing...I say your awesome you know that? as my SOI and then go for Hug/Kiss...mission acomplished...

I use these techniques everywhere...outside/inside, day/night, works everytime...

As for conveying Alpha Status amongst males...don't worry about kino just don't take any shit...they should know that if they walk over you, that you are more than willing to kick their ass...However respect will be given to you the more you score.. and this is another way of attaining Alpha Male status

Since I still cant open new threads, Ill ask here because its related to kino, and sucking(?) at it...

If a girl and I have good comfort and known her for a while, Im kino'ing here but get no reply, what does it mean? like, im the only one who initiate the body contact

Yea I also have trouble with kino as well but what I have found works well is watching her body language to see if she is interested and then when I am talking to her I will be touching her arm or making other small kino moves to let her know that I'm not trying to grab all over you but rather start making her feel comfortable in that it is not ackward touching her and then move on from there.

apply kino every time you start a conversation or new thread with a girl or group. if you apply kino every time you talk you might come off as "touchy feely" so just do it when you start a thread - or if you're flirting/playing/hitting the target.
i agree with what's been said on how if it feels "natural" do it, but i suppose some people may not know how to calibrate what feels "natural" if they don't use kino.

the more you do it, the easier it becomes - and people will just think you are naturally a physical person (which can be very alpha)

honestly, just observe a girl talking to another girl or her bf... they're comfortable doing kino so emulate their kino gestures

I like the bill clinton hand shake that is a good one. That is very true, isn't that weird that if you think to much about it, people can automatically tell its not natural then it becomes awkward. So my plan is to just start being a toucher lol make it natrual. That should help lol
