I came across this video by Youtube prankster LAHWF where he asked people if they found him attractive.
So I tried it out at a concert and it worked with a great success rate (would probably work at a bar too).
Most of the responses I got were: "yes", "sure", and the rare "no". One girl asked me, "Who would say no to that question?" I told her: "The confident ones who don't care what other people think about them".
In any event, this opener worked for a few of reasons:
Also, I need to do further research with this. I got a few numbers and tons of make outs in one venue but that doesn't mean it will always work.

In any event, this opener worked for a few of reasons:
- I would classify my looks as decent/average. However if a girl answers "sure" because social norms say you shouldn't call someone unattractive (maybe thinking that I was only decent/average), she will want her words to align with her thoughts. Therefore, she will try to rationalize thinking I am attractive because she said it, resulting in her being more attracted to me. One girl told me just this after we made out.
- I came in with a strong frame. A cocky smirk typically did the trick. I felt that the girls weren't judging me just based on my looks when I asked them the question, but also my appearance (body language and fashion).
- This has been said time and time again, but by simply talking to these attractive girls I was separating myself from every other guy who just stood there and said nothing.
Also, I need to do further research with this. I got a few numbers and tons of make outs in one venue but that doesn't mean it will always work.
