I'm at the library now. I've opened some sets and done two attempts at disqualifiers and both were akward. I think I've really hit a sticking point here and I don't know why I'm stuck.
In the past I've always seemed to be to mean in my negs and disqualifiers. I have a theory that it's only the HB8.5 to HB10s who need to be negged. Girls that think of themselves as 7.5 or even 8 are already disqualifying themselves. It would seem enough to show some value then go into giving her IOIs. Then maybe calibrate with a neg if it's needed.
However, there's probably exceptions. Like direct openers where they are really wondering why I'm there. Even if I were to be high value they would still be kind of suspicious.
My first attempt today was a two set. HB7.5 or even 8 (in her mind) and HB6.5. I had colognes ready on seperate wrists and 2 confident openers behind me. I open very nice (I'r really getting good at confident openers now which is really nice) and smell my wrist and shove it into their reality

. They take the bait and tell me the nicest cologne is the nicest cologne (I should have match them more evenly, one of them won a landslide) Ok so I say THIS ONE? You and I are not going to get along.
...no reaction
just weird...
I gave a time constraint and then went into the oceans opener. She gave me the right answer. I said I had to go, looked at my other wrist (the one she didn't choose) and said. Ok I'll choose THIS one then. She gave me a really dismissive look and said "you do that"
I really don't understand how I am going to get to a point where I feel a natural point in disqualifying.
Help me out guys!
