This routine should be used early on, straight after an opinion opener for best effect. This routine is suited best for street situations on solo group approaches (which is just about all I do at the moment).

Basic premesis of this routine:

1. Your /or friends theory on hugging.
2. Hug.
3. "Joke line"
4. Hug again.
5. Link arms.
6. Walk off.

Example for this:

Me: Hey guys, if a turtle leaves it's shell is it naked or homeless?

Them: blah "thats so random!" *giggle* blah blah

Me: So if it doesn't have a nest is the turtle in a kinda camper van situation? Thus implying he's a gypsie.

Them: *giggle* "blah!"

Me: Hey, I have a theory about hugging, that you can tell alot about someone by the way they hug, I think you guys would be a great group to try it on.

Them: blah ok

*group hug*

them: well?

Me: What? oh! well I didn't say I was going to tell you about yourselves. But oh well, (NEG/TEASE TIME) You have arms that can crush a gorilla. and you have a spine of steel. (travel as far as you want down this route)

Me: actually lets try that again.

*group hug*

Me *while hugging*: interesting.

(now at this stage as you detract from the hug keep in contact but slide your arms in to hook them arm in arm with you)

Me: Well you guys are pretty, I'm handsome and charming, I think we should get a coffee.

*Walk off arm in arm*

END

Overview: As I've said it works best in groups with a coffee house/bar within walking distance. This particular routine helps break the "kino barrier" (I'm not quite certain if I've talked to you guys about that). Anyway done right, it is an up tempo fast paced routine which will get lots of great responces. One of my favourites was..

"OMG this is like the movies, this isn't supposed to happen in the real world, your actually unbelievable!"

I will be writing my book soon so comments are appreciated.

Seriously? No takers, any comments at all?

I'm interrested in this routine. I can see it having insane potential.
If you are capable of doing this, it would be awesome, though I dont know if I could manage it just yet. You'd probobally need a lot of inner game to be able to pull it off.

Other than that, I love the idea of the "You can learn alot about someone from the way they hug" routine, and the inbuilt neg would work wonders on some.

It's clearly well thought out and it sounds great. I'll add it to my list of things to try, but this borders on the line of direct game just a little to much for me at the moment. Perhaps in the future, but that's just my personal style.

Mad props for sharing this though, It's obviously a cool routine and I could see it being hugeley effective with the right person running it.
Thanks for sharing it, If I get around to testing it out for myself I'll let you know how it goes.

wait... do you then have coffee with all the girls together, at the same time...?

Yup, it's good fun, it's like an instant date + you can get the girls to have little jelousy fights over you, which are fun to watch and also pump attraction levels.

Cheers Oran, inciddently I'm mostly indirect but I like too switch between the two, in order to catch them off gaurd. Plus it allows the use of a much wider variety of techniques, but whatever works for yah man.

Yeah, I can definatley see how that works. I'm not saying that I dont like the idea of doing that; to the contrary, I'd love to, but I just dont think my game is tight enough yet for me to pull it off. I'm still fitting into my own unique style of game, and perhaps your aspects will work their way into it eventually, but not yet for me.

Still, cool routine, thanks again for sharing it.

lolll

i love it. i can't imagine it not working, unless you're super creepy or something.

lots of kino, which is definitely a good thing.

im sorry dude, but that is not a good idea.
if it has worked for you then great! but seriously..wow.haha

Care to expand, if this is the "showing too much intent thing". That only applies if your running pure MM game.

But otherwise where do you think I could improve this?

Man, this sounds great, can't wait to field test it.

I have a little suggestion to improve it but i haven't tried it so don't know if it will work. Anyhow....

When you start negging, after the first group hug you could say,

"one of you, I'm not sure who, didn't squeeze very hard in the hug. mmmm hang on a sec let me check...."

Then you hug them both separately (increasing kino) and say to the target, if you have one, if not just pick a girl,
"yeh, you don't squeeze enough." (negging a bit more..)

Hopefully, she will try to qualify herself in the next group hug you do by squeezing you a bit harder.

Then off you go for coffee...

Do you think this will work??

Yeah definatly!

One alteration of that would be too exaggerate how little the target hugs "Oh My God you don't squeeze at all, It's like your a corpse!".

Its a neg but it has a dash of humour in it. Though many people work negs perfectly well without using humour. I just find it suits my personality to add some humour in, I very rarely say a neg with the sole intent just to lower Bitch shields.

Nice shout

Yeh i prefer it with the humor too, nice one Fin!

I was thinking a bit more on this yesterday...

The whole set up for the hug is that you have a theory that a hug can tell you about the person. So after the target hugs you, you could say

"ahhh, so your one of those girls...."

I've used this line a couple of times before when i read their palm but it would work great for this.
They always smile and reply, "What kind of girl?"
Naturally, you refuse to tell them until later. Keeping this from them keeps them interested in you as they are dying to know what kind of girl they are.
They normally keep pestering you to tell them. I normally tell them after I have isolated the girl so it is just me and her. Then tell her what ever I want e.g
"Your the type of girl who likes an adventure and to try new things"
A good thing to remember, however, is that if you tell the girl you like a certain aspect of her personality then she is more likely to demonstrate this aspect of her personality when she is in a relationship with you...

Hope this helps,
HIKE

Haha thats ace!

You could tottaly use that too hook a girl if she decided to refuse the coffee but wanted to continue talking.

I dunno you think adding one of these lines would work also...

-“hmm one of you seems to always leave something to be desired”
-“one of you has a loose hug…” (loose is to imply one of them is "easy")

I could see that working, however NLP isn't a speciality of mine, so It would have to be field tested first.
