Verse is my 'thing'. I don't want to learn magic, Cold Reading seems kinda creepy to me and all the other routines (except Cube, which I bloody love doing, probably because it's like composing poetry from someone else's ideas...) just seem a bit stilted.

But I've been writing my own poetry and memorising others for years. And even before discovering Game it won me the attentions of a few girls (on the flip side, it makes needy girls fall for you like nothing else... note to self... never whip out the Romeo dialogue on a weak-willed girl.)


So here's Raven's first field-tested canned material, enjoy!
I urge you to look each of these up right now, if only to appreciate great poetry...

Try to memorise one poem to suit each kind of girl.

Girls who like fairies will love W.B. Yeats (Try 'The Stolen Child' in a near-whisper with meaningful glances and beckoning gestures during the 'come away oh human child' refrain)

Girls who want to be swept off their feet will love Byron (Try 'Don Juan' Canto II, stanza 192 / CXCII an on, from 'Alas! they were so young, so beautiful, So lonely, loving, helpless...')

Literate, intelligent girls may even recognise snippets of Romeo and Juliet and recite along with you. Shakespeare is a gift to PUAs, steal some of his best lines and turn them into second person (you are dark fire... you teach the torches to burn bright...)

Also on Shakespeare, I do believe he invented the earliest kiss close routine... (this from Twelfth Night)

What is love? Tis not hereafter.
Present mirth hath present laughter
Whats to come is still unsure
In delay there lies no plenty
So come and kiss me sweet and twenty
Youth's a thing that can't endure

Obviously, you're going to need some heavy Rapport so this doesn't all sound like waxing-lyrical BS. Or, if you want to make it CF, stick it into A2 or A3 and really overdo it (down on one knee, a hand raised theatrically. Will be funny and a DHV.)

So let's hear your own suggestions guys!

Sounds pretty interesting. I like it. I, however, would try to make sure the poems weren't love poems or anything like that. Otherwise, she might get a little creeped out if you do it too early. Unless of course you're doing it in the sarcastic, overblown way that you mentioned.

Oh and also you said you don't like magic, cold reads, or some other routines. I suggest you try a routine out before you decide whether or not you like it. It may turn out to be your new thing.
Hell, when I first learned C&F, I thought it would make me look like a complete arrogant asshole and would hate it. Now it's a vital part of my game.
If you want to improve, you'll have to go outside your comfort zone sometimes.
