Kino Escalation

[maestro]

I have a question about when to install Kino in to your sets, for those who do MM. You have to install Kino into every set, but does that usually happen in A3? In the Mystery Method handbook, they put in A3 so I'm guessing it's after you've attracted your target and isolated her by herself or your with her and her friends. You have to use Bait-Hook-Reel-Release, use Kino and be sure not to DLV, DHV if you can with some stories for the group. But sometimes Mystery mentions attract the girls to you, A2, and then get them on your arms, and say "Let's go make some friends, you know some girls are so jealous of you right now". Then that is taking them into A3 but also using them as Pawns(not really pivots, because they don't know) so technically that is A3, because you've attracted them and can now choose to go into A3 with one of them when you pawn them off or choose a new hotter target in another set. So I guess I've answered my question and Kino is almost always installed in A3 however I will field test this, because I feel like things like "the kino test" might work in A2, but I think it's better to attract first and  then Kino comes easier in A3, what do you think?

you have to apply kino as soon as possible. the more time passes since the beginning of the interaction between the man and the woman without any kino going on, the more weird will appear to the woman when the man will start applying kino on her. kino has several stages, going from neutral (which usually pass "under the radar" as they are socially accepted in many cultures) to romantic (which clearly convey specific body-language messages, not only to your target but to pretty much everyone watching).

kino is also an attraction trigger by itself, hard-coded into women's genes as women perceive men who do it (whether as learned or as natural) as alpha, as dominant, as leaders. kino is not a bonus - is not the strawberry on the top of your cake - is a standalone attraction trigger.

Just so you know gents. Picking up girls isn't always like following Kraft mac and cheese instructions.
