Perfect Opener?

LAMaverick · Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 2:57 am Post subject: Perfect Opener?

Now there are many different types of openers and within each of those types there are thousands. Some are highly successful, others aren't. What I want to know is whats been the best opener for you. And hopefully, by getting some repetition within them, we can find the perfect opener.

So just say you're opening line, any type. Its not a test but more of a search, what's the best opener?

Or if no ones replying, if you use the line "who lies more, guys or girls?" how successful is it?

I'll help you out..

One I've used successfully is "If a gay man thinks your hot does that mean a girl will?" Perhaps strange but I can lead it right into DHV on why they would find me attractive. BUT be careful not to seem gay or boastful.

Ultima, that's awesome.

If it's ok by you I'm definitely using it!

searching for a perfect opener is searching for fools gold
after being in set for 20 minutes most girls probably couldn't even tell you how the conversation started.
just use something that will make them think a bit and get more than a one word answer and has topics that can offshoot to further conversation.
bad opener - how are you doing?
good enough opener - what do you think about the cowboy hat look? (best one someone nearby is wearing one)

IMO, the most important part of the game is the 3-5 minutes after the opener.

there is no such thing as one perfect opener...
what i mean is i always come up with an opener in my head based on alot of different things like how many girls, where you are, what there eating, saying, etc/ this is the way it should be too because even if its hard for you to come up with them like that on the spot, youll gain practice and eventually it gets really easy and its much better than running memorized openers from a website or book...learn to think on your feet and anything is possible

For me, a useful opener is to bring a girl into a fake (or semi-real) argument with a friend.

I know it's 'old' (according to some), but I find great value in a wing. Aside from the energy and sense of backup (in case of AMOGs, etc.), the most effective use of a wing is as a neg target for you who you then bring girls into.

Both of these I have used twice and succesfully number closed all:

1.

(Wing was wearing sunglasses at night, I wasn't).

We begin to argue. I turn to girl near me.

"Hey, I need your girl thoughts on this matter. Is it lame to wear sunglasses at night?"

(f she responds "no", then I bust her for only agreeing with him for his looks, if she says "yes", then I turn to him and say "haha, you just got rejected by a GIRL!")

All in one step, I have successfully opened, lowered her value (viewing her as just "a GIRL", a random girl, another female), AMOGed the other guy (not terribly helpful, but it an be useful), and begun a conversation. It's important to make sure you and your wing are very cool with each other after this point in the conversation, else you look like losers.

2.

My wing pours some of his beer into a cup and passes it to me. I pass it along to a girl nearby who says "no, I'm about to go to the dance floor", at which point I go "haha! you just got rejected by a GIRL!" ... they both gave a WTF look to me, to which I responded "you're a girl... right?" etc.

Ultima, I must say I am putting that in the back of my mind to use again tonight.

But, L.A, to me, the opener isn't the most important thing. It might just be where I am at in the game, but to me, the most important part is the transition phase. So, for my opener, I will just use anything that the girl can give me an opinion on. And before she can fully finish, I phase shift. works for me.

But the opener that I use the most, since you asked, is I walk up to a girl that isn't really engaged in the set's convo and say " Wow, it's a [insert day of the week] night, you're out with your friends, and you look like that?" Then I imitate her, but do it so overboard. I turn to her friends and ask "Is she always like this?" Then I do ask the friends party opener. Seems to work for me since I use my cocky funny to pull it off.

I am new to the art of pickup, but definately not new to picking up chicks. I though this was pretty good, I did it yesterday.

I walked into bestbuy and saw this fat guy bending down and his asscrack was showing. about 10 feet from him was a beautiful chick looking at CDs. I immediately walked by her and casually said, "You wanna see something awesome?" to which she replied, "what?" I pointed over to the guys ass crack and she busted out laughing. (Note the whole time I was body rocking) At which point I walked off for a couple of seconds to the other aisle. I immediately came back and said,"Are you still here? You just can't get enough huh? You should take a picture." More laughing, at which point I asked her what cd she was looking for etc.."

I ended up aborting the number close because she started talking about her "high school" . I am 24 so that wasn't going to happen. She was probably 17 or so. Thats the only problem with the 3 second rule, sometimes I just go for it before realizing they are too young. Once you open, you have to go through the motions just for practice and fun.

Another opener I used last weekend and plan on using tommorrow.

I have 2 Jack Rusells, and I just take them to the beach and play frisbee.
My dogs love to jump on people and look extremely cute. It always starts a conversation.
Sometimes the frisbee "happens" to land near a group of hot girls. oops. At which point I either ask them to throw it back to me, and make fun of their throw and tell them to try that again, etc..

There is a such thing as the perfect opener.
But every different time has a different opener.
I find that the best results come when the opener is made for a individual target. So learn to think on your feet, maybe the most important P.U.A. skill, if you wanna call yourself a mP.U.A. then you better throw out the everyday. lines, opener, and preset game.
