Watch stand up comedians, talk show hosts, self-help gurus and other tv-pitchmen. They all have mastered the art of story telling. Get 10% of their skill and it'll make a world of difference.

Also listen to NPR and notice how they use descriptive words to paint a picture.

Imagine sounds, tastes, scents, colors.

You weren't just sitting on a couch, you were sitting on a lumpy dark purple corduroy couch that had probably witnessed at least three murders in it's lifetime.

practice. bullshit people on the internet. If you're lucky, you can go fishing/camping and listen to the old timers tell the same old stories over and over again. If not, find some old timers.

Also, there are some amazing bullshitter/story tellers on reddit. Go back to the reddit awards and start stalking some of those folks.

You can embrace and extend the interrupters. It can be really fun, if you're trying to have fun. You: "So anyway, it was so hot, we were...

Interrupter: "Oh man, I hate the heat. That's why we went to Alaska last week and ..."

You: "Exactly, John. Just like Alaska, it was hot like Alaska. Hotter even. So I opened the window and then Bob here.... (go on telling your story).

Talk about something you enjoy talking about. You can lead into a story from there. People love people who have a clear passion and stories that stem from it.

For example, I am really into robotics. I can talk about ideas and competition, and from there I can talk about the scouting and how I was extremely nervous about picking the correct robots. I have done this before, and I can usually average about 40 minutes easily from the full story, 7-10 minutes from the tl;dr version.

If that's too hard (I don't see it would be), talk about something interesting about yourself. I like pulling out my almost-got-arrested story for this.

how do you deal with people who interrupt you?

aaaaand back to me.

how do you improve your storytelling?

By making sure it drives the seduction forward. It doesn't even matter if the story is coherent, or has a point, as long as it moves the seduction forward.

what are some good stories to tell when in the company of hot babes AND other males?

Good stories don't matter. You're not trying to be an entertainer. If you spend all your time in a conversation trying to tell good stories, you are missing the point. Your stories should be an oblique way of flirting with a woman.
