I found her body language very interesting. How she sits with a straight back throughout the whole video, must be something practiced. It would be great if someone more experienced could comment on how well Craig is handling the interaction.

Franco,
What do you think about using Craig as a model for being a fun/sexual conversationalist?
He seems to vibe fairly well with most of the women on his show and he was always quite comfortable bringing up sexual things, albeit perhaps a little too humorous for what we're trying to accomplish. (I suppose that's partly due to the fact that it's a talk show and not a date!)
Anyway, what are your thoughts about how he communicated with the women on his show?

LB,
He's fantastic. You can tell he knows exactly what he's doing.
That being said, you can also tell he can't take it as far as (maybe) he'd like to. He is on television, remember! If this conversation were to take place on a date in a one-on-one scenario, he'd be able to take his jokes a bit further before having to put the brakes on them.
He's probably a bit more animated than he needs to be, but you can tell it's in a very "comfortable" way. You get the feeling all the way through his interviews that he's very in control of the conversation, and he's dictating how far he wants the (sexual) humor to go. If you notice, every time they go down a sexual route in the conversation, he pulls it back to normal conversation whenever he feels like it. You can actually tell that Kate Mara is getting quite turned on by it, and if you're as perceptive as I am these days, you actually notice how sad she is that she isn't able to take it to that next level because they're on TV!
I wouldn't be surprised if Ferguson has already laid her... or if he hasn't, I wouldn't be surprised if she gave him her "private" cell line after the show.

What interested me the most was that she doesn't just Chase (i.e. play along), she actually seems to be the one who's aggressively trying to move things forward. In fact, she's the one who turned the convo sexual in the first place. If anything, HE'S the one who's putting the breaks on things and not allowing the convo to get too sexual/overt. Personally, I've never had women pursue me THAT aggressively (save for a few girls who were very drunk at the time). Is this a function of his fame and all the preselection/social proof that goes with it? Or is it something else he's doing?

@Bboy
Yep, I'm interested in this as well.
I'm generally the one who has to suggest sex talk, make implicit sexual jokes and either ask for them to participate in that convo or quickly change the subject before she has a chance to say anything because I get the feeling she won't play along.
I mean, even if I was uncomfortable with sex innuendos and Ellen (let's say she was straight) asked me to be on her show and made all kinds of sexual jokes I'd play along with it, because a) she's Ellen b) I'm on TV, it's expected that to be entertaining; I wouldn't necessarily take her jokes as suggestions as if I'm on a one-on-one date with her.
I wonder how this conversation would be like if Craig cold approached her and then met her on a coffee shop afterwards.

So which parts of this conversation can we bring to a one-on-one conversation with a regular girl and make her play along and move things forward?Franco said:

I'm always a little skeptical of talk show conversations, because most of the time they already rehearsed it. So I wouldn't be surprised if the female guests were told to be more flirty on the show.... But he still seems to be really good at flirting and the conversation just flows naturally. I could tell the laughs from the guests were pretty genuine, but they're actresses lol so who knows.

I agree, some of 'em do see to be staged for sure.
I'm just interested in the way he shifts from funny, to deep diving, to sexual humor, taking it a bit further before going back to deep diving, etc. And the way he leans back sometimes, low effort, or leans in, smiling, or staring at them to apply social pressure, it all seems like viable tactics that would work in real conversation.
