When picking up women, some pick-up artists prefer to make up stories on-the-fly to create attraction, but, this is not the most effective method. Revealing vulnerabilities helps amplify attraction, and an ideal way to achieve this is via telling a personal story.

The Mystery Method makes use of canned material. If a particular value-demonstrating routine has been internalized, and is ready for use in set, then that routine is said to be in the can.

A venusian artist who can deliver canned material properly will be able to generate consistent, powerful responses while he is in set. It is a potent tool. Of course, no single tool should ever become a crutch — it’s also vitally important for the open-minded venusian artist to practice spontaneous, natural conversations. There is something to be said for basic social skills! Nevertheless, your skill set is incomplete without the ability to congruently deliver canned material.

It is recommended that you create a routine stack of canned material that you can practice in the field. That is, an opener, a few routines, a few negs, and so on.
While practicing your routine stack, approaches start to become a blur. Patterns emerge over time. Situations and reactions become easily predictable before they occur. Social challenges are discovered and solved. The rest of the world is riving by at hyper-speed.

Once you have performed a particular routine hundreds or thousands of times, you don’t even have to think about what you are saying. Your mind is free for other tasks, such as planning logistics. The target is consciously considering her responses, but you have already had this conversation a thousand times before. You have already fully explored all the conversational threads that could possibly arise from this piece of material. It’s almost like seeing the future.
