any advice on becoming unstopable talking machine?
I'd say a huge thing is openness and vulnerability. If I deem someone worthy enough to open up to I can talk for literally hours and the conversation will be all genuine because I choose to hold no thought back to myself.
Other than that it's just having the neurology to keep conversations going, I can also shoot the shit for hours at a time. Definitley not my favourtie but if need be I can. Improv classes are great.
Key is to push through that initial internal pressure you feel and to say "fuck it" and force yourself to keep talking.
Improv is gold. I’ve never done it but the same shit that flies off the top of your head in improv say to girls. This is a temporary band aid though. Save that money so you can dial in your conversation
Yes improv and toastmasters are both your best bets aside from training. Take dance classes too you'll find free ones around town.

The problem with improv is that it's still kinda reactionary... it's based on input of others so if the girl isn't giving you much, it doesn't trigger associations and stuff to work with. (unless you're part of the cast of whose line is it anyway:))
It's the same for me in pickup. If the girl is somewhat talkative... I will riff of whatever she says but when she initially needs you to lead for a while, thats a problem.
If a girl doesn’t give you much wouldn’t that make improv all the more valuable? You’re able to pull conversation out of your ass....look at the title of your post.
Stop being stubborn mangs. These are fantastic alternatives.
MW, what did you take away from dance classes?

Aside from the training program (which nothing will really compare to) I think acting class develops those skills
