[part 2]

6. let them talk about themselves and nod or smile (don't have to smile irl, just use avatar gestures) and say stuff like "yeah" "that's nice" "good job" every now and then. if they say stuff that's way too retarded maybe they're testing you, so use your brain and don't say "that's nice" if they tell you their grandma died. but for the most part act as if their life is interesting to you (it doesn't need to be)

7. set a time limit. sometimes a person just won't talk to you or lewd you no matter how good you are and it's not your fault. spend a maximum of one week per target. if it didn't work within that time frame, find a new target.

this strategy works 99% of the time. the only way you can fuck this up is if you have a really annoying voice or bad mic quality, or if you're never online and people can't hang out with you. so make sure your mic sounds fine and that you don't speak too loud or too quiet, and log on vrchat at least once per day

Common beginner mistakes:

- talking about yourself when no one asked. tips to avoid mistake: just don't.

- when someone else talks about themselves, accidentally make it obvious that the story was boring to you and that you don't care. tips to avoid the mistake: try to memorize random details from the story, and then ask to clarify or elaborate about those details later. then the other person will think their story is interesting for you and that you care about them

- following a person around unconditionally (i.e. tryharding too much). tips to avoid the mistake: only subtly imitate a person, but still give attention to other people in the instance, hang out with the group, etc. in your head, you know who your target is, but make sure they don't know. that way they'll have subconscious pressure to make a move on you before you pick someone else

good luck! enjoy emotionally manipulating people into becoming addicted to you only to use them and then dump them after you're done with them. have fun~
