What is a Routine?
>> Thursday, July 16, 2009
So what is this a routine? A Routine is just a set piece of entertainment that is customary and mechanically performed. It's a detailed course of action to be followed regularly, or even we can call it as a standard procedure. Routines are old hats you can fall back on at any time in order to receive a standard and predictable response. For instance, stand-up comedians usually practice "routines" to be used in their stage act.
When it comes to Picking up Women, routines are the building blocks of attraction. They are often designed to create interest in your targets and demonstrate your own self-worth.
But most of all, they are designed to give you control of the conversation.
Once you start a routine that is interesting, people will usually shut up and listen, which is exactly what you want them to do.
In constructing a routine, it is important to keep in mind your audience. Who are you trying to appeal to? In most cases, when it comes to picking up women, your target will be the woman you're attracted to, so you'll want to tailor your routines appropriately.
Women's interest can fall into four broad categories. They are :
1. Dating
2. Horoscopes
3. Entertainment
4. Style and Beauty
Variations of these categories are what you will use to build your routine. Women will always respond well to any combination of the above topics. The trick is using the topics in such a way that they will effectively hook your target.
So what is the best routines?. The best routines will either do one of two things. They will either make the girl laugh, or they will evoke an emotional response within her.
Both of these outcomes are desirable, because they will effectively hook your target into the conversation and demonstrate your value.
Under each of these four categories, you can come up with numerous specifics upon which to focus your routines.
For example, if you were to take Dating as the category for your routine, some options may be:
- Cheating boyfriends
- Most embarrassing moment
- long distance loving
- Online loving
Take as example, let's go with the "Cheating Boyfriend" topic. Every girl, at some point in their lives, have had to deal with a guy who was unfaithful to them or they thought was unfaithful. So in creating a routine about it, you're almost guaranteed to have it work on 99% of the girls you meet.
Now that you have the topic for your routine, it's time to create the outline for it. You need to know what elements you want to have in your routine before you go about constructing it.
So what are some things you want to include in a routine that will capture a woman's interest right from the start?
Obviously, you'd want to talk about situation she can relate to. This will cause her to pay more attention to what you have to say because it's something that directly applies to her and her life.
Then, secondly you'd want something that's going to be entertaining, so she won't get bored or distracted during the story.
Finally, you want to paint yourself as the hero of the story, or some type of counterbalance to the villain.
Here are a few ideas related to the above topics...
1. Drama
2. A Sleazy Boyfriend
3. Her emotional plight
4. You as a contrast to the sleazy boyfriend
Let's cover these one at a time.
The first point, drama, is something all women are fascinated by. Us men could care less about drama. In fact, the less dramatic our lives are, the happier we are. But women are the opposite. If they don't have some crisis in their lives or they don't have something to complain about, they seem unhappy and without purpose.
This is why soap operas and shows like that are so popular with women. It's their need for that drama they so desperately crave that puts these shows in existence.
So when you're telling your own story, you must have to make it as dramatic as possible. In other words, the more wild and outrageous you make the situation, and the more pain and suffering the characters in your story endure, the more your target will respond to it!
Next point is Sleazy Boyfriend. This is going to be the villain of your story. The worse you can make this guy, the better. If he's a drunk who beats on his girlfriend and likes to bite the heads off small animals while stealing candy from babies, you're on the right track.
The reason for this vilification is that you want your target to associate all the negative traits you're going to be listing for this guy to her former (or current) boyfriend. This is going to be important later on when you come into the story.
When it comes to your target's own emotional plight, we'll be talking about the pain and suffering the female of your story endures at the hand of her evil boyfriend. Not only doest this build up the drama, but it also creates a sympathy for the character that your target will have, so that she becomes emotionally invested in your story - to the point where she actually feels like she;s a part of what you're telling her.
And finally, we come to you as a contrast for the sleazy boyfriend. This is where you come into the story and paint yourself as everything that evil boyfriend is not. If your target is sufficiently emotionally invested in your routine, you're going to get her to connected all those positive traits with you, and that makes you more interesting, attractive, etc.
Now let's try layering in the elements we came up with earlier.
The Cheating Boyfriend Routine :
You'll never guess what happened to this friend of mine one time. My friend, Nadia, totally thought she was in love with this guy named Andri - and when I say love, i mean head-over-heels in love. This is the guy she wanted to have kids with and grow old with, you know what I'm talking about. And then one day she was on his computer to answer some email, and she found he forgot to log out of his email account, and she found all these really hot and steamy emails in his inbox! So she just knew he was cheating on her. But he wasn't just cheating on her, he was doing it with her best friend! I mean, these two girls were practically sisters, and she finds out her boyfriend has been running around with her! So when Andri gets back, Nadia walks up to him and demands to know what he's been doing with her best friend. And Andri gets so mad at Nadia for spying on him that he goes into a rage and completely trashes their apartment! Nadia seriously thought he was going to beat her up right there! But Andri ends up telling her that not only has he been sleeping with her best friend, but he's also been seeing two other women in addition to that and that he never loved her. Can you believe it? So poor Nadia was just completely devastated! Now, i don't know about you, but i would never , ever, EVER cheat on someone i was with. That's just not who I am. If I'm with someone, I'm with them. Period. And if I ever found out they cheated on me, I would dump them in a heartbeat and not feel bad about it. I mean, who would want to be with someone like that? And I don't know about you, but I treat the women I'm with so good, they'll never want to screw around behind my back.
See how that works? Now you've got a great little story you can pull out of your pocket when you're talking to a girl that helps generate interest, empathy, comfort, and eventually, attraction.
Conclusion:
Now that you know how to make your own routines, don't be afraid to try them out. Remember, the more fun and interesting your routines are, the better they'll work. Don't be afraid to test them out on women, because only by using them will you be able to find out how effective they are. You'll learn a great deal about how well a routine works by using them on women. Sometimes you'll find that they might be too long, or not long enough. Maybe they touch on too sensitive a subject. Maybe they need more humor in them. You'll never know unless you try it.
And don't be afraid if a routine doesn't go over well. That's just a girl's way of telling you it needs more work. Go into a new routine. Get even more outrageous. Make a game of it. Remember, if you're not having fun with your stories, your audience won't be either!
