Beginner’s Routine Stack. (minimum required)

[Water]

Something to help newbies and some intermediates. This is how I learned structured game.



The bare minimum sufficient routine stack that a beginner can act on.

Start out going out with 2 openers each time and practice openers until you’ve gotten every possible response to them and have the openers memorized perfectly before testing more openers.

After openers, choose 2 routines to test out each time you go out until it’s memorize and you have honed your delivery to ideal.

By the end, at bare minimum, you should have:

5 openers.

5 attraction routines.

2 stories.
these can be time fillers or demonstrate attractive or interesting aspects of you. Avoid sounding like you’re bragging. It’s harder to naturally transition into a story than it is to memorize and recite a story.

3 funny routines.
Gimmicks that get a laugh each time. Or are just amusing and raise the mood.













My personal examples: (just titles)

OPENERS (5)

1. Don’t look.
2. Cotton Candy.

8. Roofie Drinks.
9. "Stop Staring At My Ass!"
10. DIRECT. (I just have a direct here, I know ____ doesn't advocate it and it isn't my main opener, but it is almost ridiculously easy for me to open direct, so I can do that first and then get over AA from going direct, aka warm-up sets)

that’s an old routine stack so I don’t remember a lot of the tactics.

Openers:

“Would you date a guy who listens to disney music?” (plus a follow up story i would need to find)

“Would you date oprah winfrey?” (forgot the follow up but it involves talking about having a sugar mama and asking the girl if they would date an older guy or someone just for money.

I learned the attraction routines as attraction routines but I can’t say with full confidence (now that I am more experienced) that those “attraction routines” actually would generate attraction.

8 girlfriends is somehow introducing that you have 8 girlfriends, one for every day of the week and 2 for sunday. Then you joke and say you think she’s a really neat girl and ”I usually never do this but how would you like to be my 9th girlfriend?” then it becomes a back and forth role play where they keep trying to get bumped up rank like “no, I’ll only take number one or nothing” but you never concede place 1.

The loser song is childish and I don’t know why it was categorized as an attraction routines But it goes singing a song to her “loser whatever, fly away, fly away to loser like, population… you” and have one hand over your forehead making a capital L.

Thanks bro! I'll throw that Disney and rich older guy stuff in, makes a lot of sense.

8 girlfriends as well is obviously good, very similar to a lot of material I use. "Yeah, I'm sure I can slot you in, there's room for promotion and all." "You're gonna be my next 3 day situationship." "Oh shit, Wednesday is calling... it's Saturday!" Often girls get baited in, "wait, how many situationships do you have" and then you're carrying on with more CF material and the girl herself frames you as preselected.

I learned the attraction routines as attraction routines but I can’t say with full confidence (now that I am more experienced) that those “attraction routines” actually would generate attraction.

I think it's important to note for any beginners reading, that in old-school a lot of material is presented as either "open material", or "attract material", or "comfort material". There's nothing really inherently attractive about "attract material", other than that they tend to be short, fun, attention grabbing routines. They provide something interesting and fun for the girl, and thereby present you as attractive. Most of attraction is handled by fundamentals and vibe - the routines are just a vehicle to occupy time as you demonstrate this vibe, and offer fun things to buy you more time to keep demonstrating your vibe.

Which is really no different to what an opening routine is - a fun little entertaining nothing to show you have a cool vibe so they're happy to hear the next bit.
