After the opener and the hook point a time comes when you or the target asks "What's your name?". You shake hands and introduce yourself. But rather than shaking hands in the old fashion way, it should be possible to kino escalate already at this point by performing some kind of a 'hand shake routine'. Before the hook point you may already have had some light kino but escalating further at this point should be easy as you are already in physical contact (shaking hands) with the target. You can also wait and structure a possibility later to escalate but why waiting if there is room for escalation at this point already? Anyone ideas on how to perform such a thing?

I was thinking something like:

1.)
PUA: "That's an fake hand shake, your grip is very loose and insincere..Are you a nervous person?" Then performing playfully a routine to show her how a handshake should be done.


2.)
PUA: "Jezus, you are crushing my hand, take it easy...What do you do for living, do you have to use your hands a lot (smile)?" Then employ some kind of kino routine related to shaking hands.

3.)
Not being cocky and funny at all but show her a hand shake that people have in some (possible exotic) parts of the world (should be for real but may also be a joke or some kind of funny bull shit).

Anyhow, the intention is to get kino escalating as I think introducing yourself to someone creates an opportunity to escalate further as you are already having physical contact with them. Escalation at this point is likely to come off as natural and spontaneous.

Write your ideas on what kind of routine could be performed during hand shaking.

I like the first one.

for the second, I'd say "wow you have a very manly handshake" than as your holding her hand turn it over and while still holding it and tell her "but you have very girly hands." and you can start with your "What do you do for a living? you must use your hands a lot." and stack from there. Thats neging, kino, and a perfect routine opportunity all in one.
