Hey,
How do you go about constructing your routines?
I know stories have content but I don't know how to arrange them.
What should I be doing in order to organise a solid routine that flows naturally?
What I do now is I just reel off stories that come to mind. I get desirable resonses to the stories but it's not always easy to remember them and sometimes I have gaps in the convo. During these gaps somebody else might take over the convo with a new thread and I'm now waiting for a new gap to start another of my dhv stories.
I appreciate your help.
Peanut.

DHV stories need three main things: A hook, a main story, and a punch line. The hook is used to captivate the audience's attention and is easily achieved by using a high energy level in your voice, no matter how basic the hook is: 'Hey guys! You won't BELIEVE what happened to me at the club last night!' - grabs attention, then I might hint at something awesome that is going to happen during the story to ensure they are hooked.
The main story should be interesting, that's the most important thing to remember. Whether it's funny, dramatic, romantic, action-packed, or whatever. Work out what you want to say, how you're going to say it, and then cut out as much of the filler as possible. If you're going to talk about your ex-gf then leave out as much background information as possible. Your audience doesn't need to know how you first met if it's about an amazing date you went on with her. Good body language and vocal tone and pacing is important here.
The punchline doesn't have to be funny, again it can be romantic, dramatic etc. Just ensure that you have one. A story without a good ending is an anti-climax and usually results in an awkward silence as the audience wonders whether you finished the story or if there's more to come. I find DHV stories most effective when the ending has my set in histerics :P
Do a search on Dane Cook on youtube. This guy is an amazing comedian, usually using stories as his jokes rather than one-liners. I began by modeling myself partly on him for the way he always manages to convey a high energy and even sexual level somehow. If you have an idea for a story and need help or advice constructing it, just let me know.

I can use these DHV's when I meet someone for the first time,or maybe for second time too.Then what after that? I don't have that many stories,i will get out of stock sooner or later.What to do after that? How to keep them interested and not start boring them,because after interesting convo their expectations do rise.How to make more and more DHV stories easily? out of small little things maybe? a story for everyday?

DHV stories are cool ! For a beginner pick up artist they are fantastic. However the long term aim is making your life a DHV. If a girl realises your DHV is fake then everything about you gets questioned. If your life is high value then your demonstrations of this are real ! Genuine, meaning you can't trip up.
You can tell a girl you are a good leader . Thats cool. What would be 1000 times more powerful would be seeing you on a Saturday morning coaching (leading) a sports team! You can tell her this story about how you have lots of women in your life, sure . Or next time your in set you can get out your camera, take pictures with the women, put them on facebook .Then next time a girl meets you and is curious, when she goes home to facebook stalk you she sees you have women in your life.
The way to do it is to make your life an adventure. Rather than staying in reading pick up books you could be out playing football with the boys , Thats a dhv, sport shows health, playing it with mates show social proof !
Something funny happens when your playing football you can tell her "me and the boys were out playing football. On my desk I have framed photos of my girlfriend , and one of my little cousin. I love them both to pieces but if they can provide me with DHV's that may get me laid whenever I am next single why the hell not! If you are musical then play an instrument, you can DHV from your Guitar skills. Just start learning it then if you have targets over you can DHV by your talent. Talent is a DHV as it shows intelligence. If you have a bit of spare cash lying about then instead of staying in, go to an amusement park, with all the rides and stuff! Hell these kind of things can even be used to take targets to :) Don't tell her how many mates you have, throw a party ! Then invite her ;) Then in other sets you can talk about that party you had :) And all this kind of stuff is real! You talk about it genuinely because it is genuine! Plus you have a bloody fun life even without the results it gets you :)
