Ok Guys, sed5 asked me for my routine stack. Now keep in mind that I'm relatively new to all this (I'm like 3 months in and very young) and this stack (since the blueprint I guess a lot of us don't even keep stacks anymore) is fairly basic, and so far these are only DHV's. That said, they all work fairly well. I'd like this thread to be a place where some of you share parts of your stack, too, so please, all contributions are welcome :) Let's go:

I. The Cube (welcome back, old friend) Cheesy as this one may be by now, where i'm from nobody knows it, and god, it works wonders. Funny how accurate it is, too. Tell the girl:

  1. 'Imagine a plain white room.'

  2. 'Now imagine a cube somewhere in this room. (where? what's it look like/what color is it? is it translucent or solid? is it floating or on the ground? how big is it?)' The cube is basically a representation of their ego, and you can cold-read a lot of stuff out of it/into it, like: size equals self-esteem, floating equals creativity whereas groundedness equals a down-to-earth attitude, color is probably their favorite or shows how they view their own personality, translucent means they're very open with their problems, etc etc.

  3. now imagine a ladder somewhere in the room. is it easy or hard to climb? (ladder equals their ambitions in life).

  4. now imagine some flowers in the room (flowers equal friends/loved ones)

  5. now imagine a horse next to all of this. what does it do? what is it like, how is its personality? (horse equals their image of a perfect partner.)

  6. finally, ad to all of this a storm. is it gentle or rough? (storm represents their problems in life, and how they deal with them.)

Note the amount of cold reading that takes place here.

II. Style's EV Another classic, and probably my favorite.

  1. if you could pick one thing in life to totally fulfill you, what would it be? (answer is X) (For dumb girls: what do you love to do?)

  2. picture the perfect scenario of X, where everything just comes together and works out perfectly. How would that make you feel? (answer is Y; if they just say 'happy', ask them to specify.)

  3. Y is what you're all about, what your emotional goal in the world is. It's basically your path to fulfilment, and in the future, you should always make sure your decisions lead you closer to this.

Note all the anchoring you can do here, if you were inclined to do such things...

III. The C's Vs. U's Routine If there's anybody on there that doesn't know this yet, I'm surprised. Look at their smiles; if they're broad and shiny, it's a C smile, which is a good-girl smile. If it has fewer teeth in the front and then goes straight back, it's a U smile, which is a bad-girl smile. Very easy to throw in casually and multiple-thread.

IV. Ringfinger Vs. Forefinger routine Basically what you do is, take their hands (free kino), and show them whether their ringfinger is longer than their forefinger or vice versa; when the ringfinger is longer, you've had relatively more testosterone in your system while growing up, which often results in a more assertive/aggressive personality. A longer forefinger comes from having relatively more estrogen in your system while growing up, which leads to a more 'caring' personality. Use cold reading for calibration.

The above two routines I use a lot to casually hook sets that I'm not properly in on after my opener, which usually works.

V. The Magic Questions This one was popular before the rise of the cube, is very good for cold-reading and fairly simple to remember. I highly recommend it to all beginners.

  1. Visualize yourself lying in bed in a plain, white room. How would you feel? (the answer is to be taken as a metaphor of their view on death and dying.)

  2. what is your favorite animal, and what feeling do you associate with it? (the answer is a metaphor for her view on her friends)

  3. what is your favorite color, and what feelings do you associate with that? (answer is a metaphor for their view of themselves. you'd be surprised yow much can come out of a chick at this point.)

  4. imagine yourself standing on a beach, looking out at the ocean. what would you do? (this is a metaphor for their view on sex, and when you explain this, you can obviously set a nice and playful tone, and have her qualify herself by commenting on your explanation of her answer with something like 'pff, i bet you're totally boring in the sack :)')

VI. The Hug Test Not strictly a DHV, but it sets a fun frame and gets free kino :P Hug a girl, then tell her: 'wow, that was rubbish. that hug was like a 4 out of 10.' she'll protest (keep it playful now.) 'well then, try again.' second hug ensues, probably waay better... 'well, that was a bit better, like a 6.5. see, you have to hug so that your hearts are in the same spot, like this.' i hope you have enough knowledge of your own anatomy to pull this off. also, put your hand on the small of her back and push her into you very gently. it's a very intimate way to hug, and holding her like this for a few seconds may do a bit more than just making her feel warm and fuzzy inside. calibrate as to how long you can hold her though, it's best if you pull away first. 'see, that was good. good girl :P'

VII. The Question Game Good to play while building comfort. It's basically truth or dare, but without the dare. The rules are: you can't not answer a question, you can't ask something that has already been asked, you can't lie, and the PUA starts. Turn the whole thing sexual by asking her stuff like 'how many boyfriends have you had' and escalate from there. Mystery's tip on this: 'tell me a secret.'

I have more, but I think that any beginners reading this will probably gain something good from it, since this is kinda the basic in-field package. That said kids, do you have any, maybe more obscure ones that you want to share?

Edit: Damn. That got controversial :P
