seeing as it's an important tool in building attraction, i see the phrase DHV tossed around a lot like when people describe in-field reports, methods, etc. however when someone says "i DHV'd" or "do blah blah, then DHV", does it always mean tell a story that conveys high value? throwing negs and doing kino are easy because there are a lot of specific phrases/techniques that work in most situations, but non-story DHV's seem a little harder to execute simply at will. could someone point me in the right direction here?

There are plenty of nonverbal DHVs. Maintaining eye contact, good vocal tonality, good vocal projection, dominant kino, passing a congruence test... and they're more important than the verbal DHVs.

there are quite a few ways to dhv without stories.

one of them is with props...
preselection props are great... basically, just get a girls ear ring or hair clip etc and put them in places where people will notice them but that it doesn't seem blatantly obvious that you left them out for everyone to see. i have a sleeper couch that i often watch movies on, so i permanently have a hair clip in there which the girl sees when i fold it down. other ideas might be a hair band behind somewhere or an ear ring in your car...
other dhv props mainly revolve around success and wealth so i wouldn't really recommend them if you're not willing to deal with the shallow superficial types. these would include flashing expensive car keys by accident, having a thick wad of cash in your wallet etc.
i think you get the idea.

other ways to dhv would be to take charge of the group (being the leader of men) or to take you target's hand and lead her through a crowd (protector of loved ones etc). having female friends come up to you to greet you shows preselection and builds social proof, having them flirt with you amplifies that.

so yeah, there are many ways to dhv without stories dude...

there are millions of ways to dhv through actions alone...

edit:
forgot to mention this... i read a while ago in either Zip or Bonita's posts that self depreciating humour is also a major turn on and DHV if done right and in moderation... so have a look at that.

good luck.

not at all. DHV is anything that helps raising your value.

for intance, when you approach you are already DHV for being so confident. or when, as mystery explains, you "walk 20 feet with two girls on your arms"
