Silly things to say -
30-11-2013, 02:00 PM
So after a conversation with Stein, he believes it'd be beneficial for me to say silly things in set. First to let go and help the conversation flow and secondly to have more fun with this.
What I'm asking you guys is to throw me some openers, themes, silly things to say. Stuff which'll basically get me out of my comfort level, get me opening up and more creative.

The idea behind doing that is to stop you from filtering what you say dude. The idea is for you to get used to lowering the bar for what you have to say and realizing any old bullshit will do. Stupid, mundane, whatever. Asking for ideas from other on what to say is still a form of filtering yourself.
Ever hear of the 'I like salad' opener? Some guy or other decided that it'd be funny to start going up to girls just saying 'I like salad' and seeing what happened. Before long it became a big PUA thing where people thought it was an awesome game idea, ultimately missing the original point of it. The point is that it's yours and it's bullshit. If you're taking ideas on what to say from other people in advanced you might as well be using canned material. Free associate, improvise, be spontaneous. But I'm tryin' to give you a million dollars worth of game for $9.99

Yeah I understand that hence themes, I want some sort of baseline to get my creative spontaneous juices flowing.
Maybe I should just got out clear mind see what happens?

Yes, a clear mind is good. When you're in the moment things will pop into your head to fill the void, you say them, and let the chips fall where they may.

Thank god Stein cleared that up :P I was about to say being silly is a stupid idea. Being silly should be an effect not a cause. You'll do or say something that ends up silly rather than try to be.
Literally say whatevers on your mind, dont try and be boring or mundane but its about not trying to be cool and entertaining. And exercise might be to go up to girls and use whatever you've done in the day/night as your conversation topic OR Act as if you've done fuck-all all day, I used a funny line off a mate which is "Today I've done fuck-all because Im unemployed and on the dole". Try it as an experiment once or twice. Say exactly whats on your mind. Have fun.
