FTS

long mais bon, il y a quelques perles, je crois que RSD donne cette liste à leurs étudiants lors de leurs workshops.


Best Friends Test

Are you guys best friends? That's funny, I suspected you were. You know why? Because the way you're standing, your body language, your mannerisms are very similar. Also, when I'm talking to you, before you guys answer, you look at each other. See, just like that. And, you looked at her first, so that means she's the dominant one.
-----------------------------------------

High Fives

"You know what, I like you guys. You guys are cool. High five!"

You know what, I like you guys. You guys are cool. High five! [for target, hold hand/curl for just a second]

No, no, no, you have to do better, you need to have height and forward motion. Let's do it over.

[DRAMATIC HIGH FIVE]

Awesome!

--------------------------------------
Sincere Compliment

Hey, are you the kind of person that can take a sincere compliment from a stranger?

So am I. Go ahead.

-------------------

Hollywood Handshake


Hey, let me show you something.

When I was in LA, this was the Hollywood handshake.

Okay, then, check it out, this is the New York handshake. It's more laid back there. They just do a pound.

Then, the midwest handshake is totally different. Go like this... [MILK THE thumbs]

And, then I learned this one last night. [PUT YOUR HAND ON HER FOREARM AND RUB IT BACK AND FORTH. ACT LIKE YOU'RE PANTOMIMING A DRUNK CHICK].

I don't know what that is, but some drunk chick last night showed me that, and I thought it was pretty cool

--------------------------------------------

Little Sister


You know what, I want to adopt you.

You're my new little sister.

You know what I'm gonna do with you? I'm going to wrap you up in a bubble wrap envelope and ship you to New York with me. And on the way you can pop all the little bubbles for your amusement. And then when you get there I'm gonna open you up, and then you'll emerge forth like a beautiful butterfly or some shit. Then, we'll go shopping on Fifth Avenue [AT THIS POINT PUT ARM OUT FOR HER HOLD] go ahead...And every girl will be jealous of you.

[THEN, THROW ARM OFF] ..Ha Ha.. Dork...

------------------------------------------------------

Too similar


You know what, you and I wouldn't get along.

You know why? We're too similar.

You wouldn't take my shit, and I wouldn't take your shit.

We'd just fight all the time.

Then we'd have like freaky make-up sex.

I'm not ready for one of those volatile relationships right now.

[PAUSE] [SMILE, COCKY SEXUAL SMIRK--There's an inside joke you're both sharing, and it's her]

Besides, that's gross. You're my little sister. (x-false disqualifier)


-------------------------------------------------------------

Trust Test


Are you trustworthy? Come here, it's quieter. Let me show you something [ISOLATE]

I don't know if I believe you.

Alright, let me give you the trust test.

Hold up your hands, like this. [SQUEEZE HER HANDS AND WAIT FOR HER TO SQUEEZE BACK--IF SHE DOESN'T, Say, "Squeeze Back"]

Okay. Good.

Go like this. Now, I want you to relax completely. Take a deep breath. [Hands horizontal, hers on top, go down, see if she follows. If she doesn't say, good, you didn't move away]

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Curious
I’m very curious about you. Don’t expect anything.

-----------------------------------------------------------------


So Genuine


You know what, I like you. You're so genuine.

Most people I meet out at the club have, like, a fake persona that's a bar persona. But you, you're so real. You have a sincerity about you.

I just want to treat you perfect… even though you probably don’t deserve it.

--------------------------------------------------------

Eskimo Kiss

You know I was watching Discovery channel, and it was about Alaska.

Have you ever been up there?

Yeah, it's really fascinating, because in the summer the sun comes up at 3AM and it goes down at 11PM.

And the natives there, the Aleutian islanders--they have so many fascinating customs.

Like they have 46 words for snow.

And like when they greet each other they go like this [RUB YOUR NOSE ON HERS]...No, no, no...More gentle [MAKE THEM DO IT AGAIN].
[KISS if it's on]


----------------------------------------------------------

Not Boyfriend Material


Hey listen, before we go any further, I just want to tell you something. I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

I'm NOT boyfriend material.

I'm not gonna take you out to dinner.

I'm not gonna bring you flowers.

I'm not going to cheat on you with your best friend.

I'm not going to break up with you on your birthday.

And I'm not bad in bed.

I'm just not boyfriend material.


---------------------------------------------------------------


Nice New Girlfriend Qualifying


You know what, I think you'd make a nice new girlfriend.

Wait a minute. Can you cook?

[YES--Awesome. NO--We're broken up then, but wait.]

Are you rich, because I want to be a stay-at-home husband?

[YES--We're back together. NO--We're broken up then, but wait.]

Do have cable, because I want my MTV?

[YES--We're back together. NO--We're broken up then, but wait.]


---------------------------------------------------------------

Trust, Comfort, Connection


You're a sexual predator [MISINTERPRETATION as if she is trying to pick you up]

I'm not that kind of guy.

I'm not gonna go back to your house to "[finger quotes] check out your stereo" or your "stamp collection" or whatever.

I need trust, comfort, and connection first.


---------------------------------------------------------------


Incredible Connection


I don't know, it's weird, you know, being here talking to you.

It's like I get an intuition.

It's like when you're around someone you really like [SP--self point--first her then you], Someone you're really attracted to [SP]

You just feel that click [SNAP FINGERS]

It's like you just feel totally drawn to this person [SP]

And it's like time slows down and you've known this person forever [SP]

I don't know. Can you kind of feel that [KINO] as how it is?

[ACT FLUSTERED] I don't what I'm talking about here. [YOU'RE STRUGGLING TO SORT OUT THESE FEELINGS]

---------------------------------------------------------------


Outrageous Kino

Hey, PIGGY BACK RIDE or OVER THE SHOULDER.


-------------------

Balloons in the Park

[SAID VERY SARCASTICALLY, LIKE YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY KIDDING]

[A Future Adventure Projection Routine]

You know what I want to do?

I'm gonna take you on a romantic date to the park. And when we get there, we will hold hands. And we'll like run through the meadow.

And then we'll buy balloons and we'll let them go. They fly away into the sky so free.

After that, we'll go to like the beach, like at sunset, and then we'll hold hands more, and then we'll take our shoes off, and then we'll write each other's names in the sand.

[WAIT FOR HER REACTION]

You know, I'll understand if you don't want to. Some people aren't romantic like I am.

-------------------

"A" Crowd


You know, when I first saw you, I thought you were like total, unapproachable "A" Crowd.

You know, like in LA. You know what the "A" Crowd is?

Here, like this. [PUT ON SUNGLASSES, POINT AT SELF]

Yeah, "A" Crowd.

[TAKE SUNGLASSES OFF, AND PUT ON HER]

Now, you're ready for Hollywood.

-------------------
PVC Devil/Angel

[USE THIS ON 2 GIRLS; KIND OF LIKE BEST FRIENDS TEST]

You know what I want to do to you guys. I want to dress you up [POINT TO ONE OF THEM] in a red PVC miniskirt with like a pitchfork, and little horns, and little bitch boots.

And you, I'll dress like the same way, except in a white skirt, with a little furry halo and wings, and then I'd have you guys walk around on either side of me [LINK ARMS] and whenever I had to make a decision, you guys would like fight to help me make my decisions for me.

-------------------
Fat girl personality

Hey listen, I'm going to ask you a question, and don't take this the wrong way; just hear me out.

Were you a fat girl in high school? Because, in high school, the really beautiful girls, they could get by just on their looks, but like the fat girls had to actually develop a personality to be popular. You have a fat girl personality. That's a compliment.

-------------------
Total weirdo

You're either the coolest girl I've met in a long time, or you're a total weirdo, I can't tell. Probably a little bit of both.

-------------------
Lying game

Do you wanna play the lying game? It goes like this.

I'm going to ask you 3 questions, and you have to lie in your answers, and if you can't lie, then you lose. If you lose, you have to do X...

Okay, what color is the table?

What kind of car do you drive?

What color is the chair?

Wait, did I already ask you that? (she says no)

...Uh, I win.

Have you played this game before? (she says no)

I win again!

-------------------
Stripper names


[Dovetail with Stripper babysitter story]

If you were a stripper, what would your name be?

[CALL HER THIS NICKNAME-TEASE ALL NIGHT]

[If she can't think of one: Gemini, Destiny]


-------------------
Stripper Babysitter Story

I was talking to my friend Noreen the other day. This chick is crazy. She's got 2 kids. They're 11 and 8 and they're both boys. Anyway, like, this chick is like ditzy as hell.

She's telling me the other day how she hired a stripper to babysit her kids. Yeah, she put an ad on Craig's List, and she's interviewing the chick, and she asks her what she does for her day job.

And she says that she works for the New Century Theater (it's a strip club in San Francisco). But she was like spacing out and she thought she said Century 21, so she thought she was a real estate agent.

So the chick comes over to babysit the kids and immediately the 11 year old sees this and goes and gets his camera and starts snapping pics, because like the kid's at school are never going to believe this.

So, Noreen leaves, and the chick is totally incompetent and the kids are like running wild. And then at dinner she's getting really frustrated because the kids won't eat their vegetables.

Finally, she just says, if you eat your vegetables, I'll show you my tits. And so this causes the 11 year old to start shoving peas down his little brothers throat.

Noreen comes home, foods everywhere, the place is a mess, and the babysitter is crying.

She finally like puts 2 and 2 together and realizes what happened, and obviously she's not like invited back. But then she's like the 11yo keeps asking her now, when is Gemini coming back.

What real estate agent is named Gemini and has huge fake tits. I said what' wrong with you?

...GO INTO STRIPPER NAMES
-------------------
FuckMarryKill

Hey, you want to play a game?

It's called Fuck, Marry, Kill

I'm going to pick 3 guys in this bar.

One of them you have to fuck, one of them you have to marry, and one of them you have to kill.

You'll tell me which one is which and why.

[PICK THE CREEPIEST LOOKING DORKS IN THE BAR]

Yeah, I also want to play. Now you do it to me.

-------------------
3 Animals

Hey, you want to play a game?

I want you to think of your 3 favorite animals in orders, like first favorite, 2nd favorite, and 3rd favorite, and why, ie, what characteristic makes you like them.

....

the 1st animal is how they see themselves

the 2nd animal is how they think others see them

the 3rd animal is how others really see them

-------------------
Name Memorization

IVD: Interactive value demonstration (ie, you're teaching them something)

When she introduces herself, say:

I'm terrible with names, but my friend, he taught me a great method for actually remembering people's names.

What you do is you actually say the person's name twice out loud. Then, you look at their face and you imagine a little pictogram over their head that represents their name.

For example, you name is Robyn, so I would imagine like a bird. Etc.

-------------------
Jay-Z

Hey, listen, you could be anywhere in the world tonight. But you're here with me. I appreciate that.

-------------------
Crude Guy Quote

I was out with my friends the other night, and this guy came up to this girl who was next to me and he said, "Imagine us just totally making out right now, and then imagine me just eating your pussy just the way you like it, and then us fucking all night long, and just totally loving it, and try not to think about that all night"

And was I like, "what the fuck", is this guy for real. Does he really think that's gonna work. What would you think if some guy said that to you.

-------------------
45 Days

I'm the most interesting person you're going to meet in the next 45 days.

-------------------

OMG LIBRA

Find out their sign
[This is a false disqualifier]

Oh my God, you're a Libra. I can't talk to you anymore. All of my most psychotic girlfriends were Libras.

-------------------
Baby Bird

The weirdest thing happened to me today. I was walking down the street, like downtown, and all of the sudden I saw this object like fall straight down from the sky. And I thought at first that somebody had thrown something from the window.

But then I got closer and I saw actually that it was this little baby bird, and I guess it had flown into the building.

So anyway, it was just lying there just stunned. It was still alive. An there's all these people walking by the busy street, and so I was worried somebody would step on it.

So I got like a little piece of cardboard and kind of scooped it up, and I went to put in this planter off to the side.

But it's funny, because as I'm doing this, these other birds start swooping down to like attack me. And at this point, people are like looking at me like, "Why is this asshole fucking with the birds." And I'm just trying to help him.

[THIS LAST PART YOU HAVE TO CALIBRATE...]

So as I'm about to put it in the planter, it just looks up at me, and it's like, "No, don't leave me", so I just rolled him up and put him in my pocket. And actually I have it right here [Pull out middle finger from pocket--Give her the bird].

Na, na, just kidding. Here it is. [Show picture]. What kind of bird do you think it is? I thought it was a swallow or a finch.
-------------------
Steroids

Yeah, so I've been working out. You know, I want to get big.

I even thought about taking steroids. But then I was reading about these side effects.

You know, I can deal with the acne, the rage attacks -- I mean, hell, I already have those.

The massive liver damage, I can even deal with the shrunken sac.

But I draw the line at hair loss. I mean look at this shit [GESTURE TO YOUR HAIR].

-------------------
Water Dream

[Use it on Day 2]

I had this really weird dream last night. I was in this dark room and it was really hot. And then this woman appeared.

In fact, she kind of looked like you, come to think of it.

And then she smiled and threw a bucket of water on me.

Then I woke up.

[Water in the dream represents sex]

-------------------
Switching speed

Slow down down your switching speed...Shhh. [Hush them].

-------------------
Ring Finger

Ask them about the rings their wearing.

What's up with those. What's their story. Every ring has a story?

[LISTEN TO THE STORIES]

Do you know why this finger is [POINT TO RING FINGER LEFT HAND] the ring finger for marriage?

Well, see, the ancient Romans were very spiritual, and they believed that every finger had a corresponding God.

For example, your index finger represents Jupiter, who was like the ultimate God [SELF-POINT]

And the ring finger, that represented Venus, and that's the only finger that has a vein that goes all the way to your heart.

[TRACE IT FROM HER HAND TO HER CHEST]

Can you feel that?

-------------------
Lonely

People envy you because of the way you look.

But you have to try harder to compensate for the fact that they think you have it all.

And you play the role, you know, you're picky, or whatever.

But you have to be stronger as a woman inside to do the things you have to do.

I bet you also feel you have your choice of men.

Of course, you're saying no most of the time, more than yes.

Sort of like I do.

But you can only choose from the guys that approach you.

'Cause the guys you want to meet are surrounded by women. Women want them.

So you have to sort of inch your way in...you know, these are healthy guys with relationships and stuff. And the only

people coming up to you are these guys...these desperate guys. So you end up going home alone. And you wonder,

what the fuck am I doing, I'm lonely. And you shouldn't be. You're far more lonely than you should be. I know what it's like.

-------------------
Magnets

[When you've started getting close to her and kissing her]

What are we doing, this isn't like us. We're good people. It's like there's these magnets between us. It's not us. It's the magnets.

-------------------
AFC Friends Can't Be Real

Yeah, my friends didn't come out tonight, I'm solo.

But it's kind of cool that way. Because my friends, they're really cool guys and we have a great time and everything, but

it's just that when we go to the clubs and get around women, they start acting weird and needy.

It's like you see them getting all grabby and touchy.

And they'd lean in and buy the girls drinks so they'll talk to them.

And they can't just chill and be real and get to know someone.

-------------------
Groundhog Day

Something's missing. You're missing something. Something happened to you and you're creating a persona to deal with that. To hide behind.

You need independence, you need to be more independent.

But you put on that persona and it's like that movie Groundhog Day, where you're just living the same day over and over, trying

to get it right.

And it's become like this structured regimented thing you don't even want any more.

-------------------
Too Similar

You and I wouldn't get along. You know why?

Because we're too similar. I wouldn't your shit, and you wouldn't take my shit.

We'd just argue all the time.

And then we'd have freaky makeup sex.

I'm not ready for a volatile relationship like that right now.

...

[DURING RAPPORT PHASE DO A CALLBACK]:

We're too similar.

We have a lot in common, which is bad. But our differences are complementary.

-------------------
Textiles

[If she asks what you do, say... ]

I'm in textiles. Yeah, the world of textiles is so fascinating and varied.

For example, these pants you're wearing [FEEL HER PANTS/LEGS/HIPS/ASS] yeah, this is soft denim, probably with combed cotton. All of the short fibers have been removed. That’s what they call pima cotton.

[THEN YOU FEEL UP HER SHIRT] And this, this is like a synthetic fiber, yeah, definitely some elastomeric fibers here [FEEL HER TITS].

-------------------
Tension test

[Similar to trust test]

Are you tense? Do you have a lot of tension? Here, let me do the tension test on you.

[You put your arms around her, and you feel the small of her back, right where it meets the ass, and then you just need your hands up her back slowly, like you're giveing her a massage] Say, "Interesting"

[Then bring arms up to the traps, shake those down, and then go up to neck/shoulders]. Say, yeah, you're tense here, here, here..

______________
Toecutter’s Palm Reading

Do you know your basic palm? Relax your fingers. RELAX… relaaax. Yeah. That’s right. This is your head line, this is your life line, this is your heart line. Now, there are also some minor lines that are important. This line here is called your fate line. Yours is strange because it (does whatever it does). The other thing that’s important to your palm is this (run your finger over her mound of Venus), the mound of Venus, it represents your heart also. I’ll come back to it. Your palm all combines to a single story.

Fate Line:
Ok. Let’s start with your fate line because it is a distinguishing feature in that it (does whatever it does). This means that az a child or adolescent you had some experience where you were asked to become an adult before you were ready. Yeah, I know, that was very difficult for you. However, as much as that was very hard (pause), everything that has happened to you makes you who you are today. And, given that you like who you are today, you can therefore thank that event for making you who you are. You are able to feel more deeply and live as an adult because of it.

Heart Line:
Now your heart line. Because it curves up between your index and middle fingers, it means that as a little girl you always had dreams of a Prince Charming. And you always thought that a Prince Charming would walk into your life. However, at some stage, as much as your Prince Charming could be right in front of you, you may have trouble even recognizing him and more trouble meeting him and seizing the opportunity that is right in front of you because if we look over here to your mound of Venus… as I said, this represents your heart also.

Mound of Venus:
So your Mound of Venus is this fleshy area here. If you have a close look, you will see these small lines that run up and down and side to side. Now these lines represent bars, like in a jail over your heart. And it means that you have a caged heart. It means that you hold yourself back and don’t give yourself completely to all the people in your life. But you know that. You know that sometimes you’re shy, or scared or lack some confidence, or try to act cool, or say the right thing, or act “lady like” and you don’t BE YOURSELF and JUST RELAX even with your best friends. And you hold people out of your life, and STOP people from really getting to know you and relax in a non-judgmental way. And you’d be a lot happier if you could not lock yourself up, but rather let everyone else in, and give yourself to the people around you. And then you can just relax and be comfortable with yourself and everyone else in your world. You don’t need to hold yourself back and watch your manners and what is “the right thing to say”. And in that way your heart is caged. And you have trouble taking the opportunities that are right in front of you, and this especially needs to be watched when you meet your Prince Charming.

Life Line:
This is your life line. It talks about your course of action for a decision that is in your life at the moment. This shows a time of separating paths. Old skins need to be shed in order for you to embrace the new things. There are certain things, people or ideas in your life that are outmoded (point away in direction of obstacle or boyfriend) and these things are stopping you from doing all of the things that you really want to do, but never before allowed yourself to enjoy as completely as you are about to enjoy. So all of those things that are holding you back, you can now just take and and throw away. Like you threw away an old piece of clothing that you never wear. You can put those things that are stopping you in the same place, and allow yourself to enjoy this momentum and go with the flow of the times. All your worries fade away, and in place are the pleasures of new experiences you are about to have, and the new relationships that you are about to cultivate. As you realize that you are about to move forward to places you always wanted to go, but have never been. You want to drink the wine that those things holding you back won’t let you drink, and experience those things you want to. This is a time for you, and to hell with the rest.

Head Line:
Your head line tells me that you are highly intuitive and that you follow your intuition when making decisions. I mean, if you can think about a piece of clothing that you’ve worn lots and lots and that you completely love. And no matter how many times you wear it, you always look great in it and you love it to bits. And as you think of that you should think back to when you were in the store buying it. And remember when you were looking at it, and that feeling of just being sure that this is right for you. And remember that feeling you felt in your body. That feeling of sureness. Because that is your intuition. And when you feel like this you need to trust your instincts and follow your intuition always. You need to trust it above and beyond everything else and do the thing that you are sure about.

Side of the Hand Lines:
You are fertile! (the number of lines on the edge of the hand are the number of children).
