I’ve heard of a similar strategy once discussed as part of pickup, I believe—I can only pull up a vague memory right now, but the thought was something along the lines of this. If a woman says she “just moved away from her family in San Francisco to have more freedom,” each word of that can be a hook into an interesting conversation. What was moving like? What’s her family like? Why did she want to move away from them? What’s it like in San Francisco and how is it different here? What kind of freedom was she looking for? etc.
I’ve been working on using that type of conversation as well to avoid awkward pauses and keep interesting conversations going.
