The David Bowie opener might be a little dated....I used this one only to find out that a lot of people dont even know who david bowie is. Leaves you stuck there in damage control or trying to explain who david bowie is.

I've thought of a new one. Very excited about this, try it

For girls sitting in bars/pubs etc.
Get eye-contact and be silent for 2 sec, walk up to her and say: "I'm a snail" *Innocently*
Sit down next to her and say "Oops my little home broke" "Can I sleep in yours for tonight?" *sad face, like a child*

It's all about the way you do it.
Hope it works, going to test it soon.

Try it aswell, and let me know the outcome

haha that is dynamite.

and it doesn't seem forced either cos i've seen japanese tourists do that to my Dad, they thought he was Sean Connery lol
that's a really solid opener and can lead to alot of different conversational threads

I found that when i have done the ESP test i have tried to lure the typical answers from them:

when i say think of a number between "1 and 4" my first hand uses 1 finger and my second, 2, then bring them together infront of her and apart, quickly but not too quick. im no mathmatician but 1+2 = 3 and i really found it helps, it could be me thinking im david blaine or something but it makes me more confident doing it and helps with the number 3 answer (not that it matters that much)

same idea with the 1 to 10 but 4 fingers first then 3 on other hand, but i open my thumb out on the second hand (my right hand), again its a 7 in finger digits and also a 7 shape using index and thumb!

i know its not about the number result but i think it creates extra confidence if you feel you have lead them to that point, even if they may have said 3 and 7 without it.
it also allows you to explain (if you choose) that you cheated to get the answer. which can help stop an awkward silence and allows easy kino (showing the "7" shape etc on her hands).

i welcome any comments as im still fairly new to the game.

Yesterday I read an article in the newspaper:

"self-confidence: the cure for jealousy"

Change it into a question "Do you think..." and you have a nice opener.

Ok.. I'm not hating on anyone.. But I would say about 90% of these Openers are for teenagers.. Not even for 20-somethings.. So if you're in your 20's, 90% of these are not going to work unless you actually look Very young.. I'm in my 20's, not like I'm 40 yrs old or something..

So how about some openers that are amusing, eye-catching, yet do not sound too immature and/or slap-worthy. lol

you know what , I've not read a lot of these openers, but , when you say immature, other people, and I could say , funny. I mean , if you're a 40years old ,you can open with stuff that seems to be made for 20 years old , it depends of you. An opener is as good as its execution , and its execution depends from the pua. Some openers can be magic in a pua's hands and can be a total failure in another hands. Do you understand what I mean?

Blankfile: I understand your point; Any opener.. Depends on the pua and the execution.. I totally agree..

But lets check this out.. Here's an Opener from someone:

"For girls sitting in bars/pubs etc.
Get eye-contact and be silent for 2 sec, walk up to her and say: "I'm a snail" *Innocently*
Sit down next to her and say "Oops my little home broke" "Can I sleep in yours for tonight?" *sad face, like a child* "

Are you serious? If I was 15, I would try this one and it might even work! 10yrs later I'm 25 and I try this on ANYONE... the girl is either looking the other way, making a scared face, walking away, or all of the above!

This is the same type as about 80% of the openers in this list.

Someone give me some real material to work with that has some substance.. something interesting that'll Actually make them laugh and want to hear more

LOL I can't say anything but I agree lol. That's cocky and funny , but weird. I'm going to write some of my openers and routines and I'll send it to you, sunday or monday.

many many of these openers are not very good, really.

I know that a lot of people are looking for a 'great' opener, and so these little sayings that sound very cool, or provoke a laugh or whatever, they make you feel more confident opening...and that's cool...but really, these openers are VERY try hard.

Remember, that you'r approach alone shows interest, and anything...anything that souds like you thought about it, just shows more interest. so if you're working indirect game, or MM (which i'd say most people on here are), it doesn't help.

The game is 'won' with your ability to generate attraction, quickly preferrably, and move in to escalation and comfort (really it's all about escalation, that's the difference between a conversation and pickup).

i've been a student of Indirect game for a long time. and this past week i've had a much higher percentage of my sets hook when using direct openers. Not direct, in the terms of telegraphing, or saying, interest, but instead, showing up front that you're interested in talking to this person, not just asking a question or directions

for example:
"you guys look fun, i thought i'd say hi" stack forward in to pulling them DIRECTLY. I did this twice today. once I said this to a two set, then got one on each arm and ran through bulbbles blowing from a store and said "lets run through the bubbles'

the other one was at the beach. same opener, then I said "lets jump in the water, WOO HOO" then made her swim out with me 'just 5 strokes', turned in to a close and a Day 2


take home message.....it doesn't matter what you open with, don't worry about creative openers, just open. you have to stack forward anyway...and that's where you can be funny, cocky, sexy, whatever

additionally, I feel like openers like this (like stated above) are much easier to come up with on the spot, you really elimnate 'having nothign to say' or running canned material (which i don't think anyone likes doing)

Awesome.



I'm new, but ill put in my two cents in case some other new person reads this. I found out very quickly that it doesnt matter too much what you use for an opener. Girls are usually pretty flexible, especially if their bored. So go talk and have fun.

Also, dont stay on the opener too long! Move on to the next conversational thread before the Opener completely loses steam.

Thats what i've learned about opening so far. Dont let "i have nothing to say" prevent you from opening. Just put yourself in there and practice practice practice.

Spot the girl you like and implement the three second rule, approach from the friendly angle (not head on) at quite a rushed, deliberate pace. Once there you should have her attention, so raise your eyebrows and break into a prolonged smile naturally. A relieved smile. Then confidently open with:

PUA: "Hey, could you do me a rather big favor?"

Target: "Um...okay, sure I guess. What is it?"

PUA: "Oh, it's okay. You're already doing it"

Target looks puzzled for a moment

PUA: "My nutter of an ex girlfriend is here so I'd rather be busy doing something than just plain avoiding her"

See where your target takes the conversation. Either you'll get talking about Exes and how inconvenient they are, or the Target will put up a bitch shield/set up some banter. React to it.

PUA: "Seems like you're a little jealous that a screw-loose hasn't gone out of their way to try to speak to you"

Target: "Apart from...you?"

PUA: "You can be as clever as you like, but you're still doing me that favor.

If you do this with the right degree of confidence and with a smile your target will laugh or at the least smirk. Irrelevant of the response (unless it's something you feel confident can result in a good conversation bridge-builder) move the chat on by saying something along the lines of:

PUA: Come to the bar with me, [then maybe you won't look so bored]. I'll buy you a drink to say thank you - this is a favor that doesn't have to end just yet"

And there's your opener. I even included a Neg in square brackets there if you feel comfortable deploying one. It's not perfect yet, but it's a good start. What do you think?

The Fontaine of Knowledge

ok i haven't been in the game for very long but this is an opener i have been using and it's bee very well recieved.
Hey can i get your opinion on something? My friend was dating this girl for about a month and they just broke up like a week ago and he came to me and said he was thinking about dating her sister. I have tried to tell him that it's just gonna bring drama but i need a women's point of view.

I like it. I might be using this tomorrow night.

Just to tweak it, I wouldnt ask permission. Just say, "I need a female opinion on something. My friend.." Dont wait for a response, just go into it.

Has anyone asked you if "my friend" was really you? Sometimes adding a name helps: "My friend, Chris, was dating.." Thanks for the suggestion.
