Did you just admit you're a woman without provocation?

@ Tuth: Yes, I thought it’d be fun to take a man’s perspective but it’s actually pretty difficult. A humbling experience
As troll cop it wouldn’t have taken you many posts to be suspicious …By the way you have great posts, the Al Fresco one was impeccable and some of your advice to newbies is even sweet.
But this thread is about openers and should remain so.

I tried this out the other night and it got a conversation going easy, although it's merely experimental and I need to try it out a few more times to see if it's a keeper. Mind you, don't use this one with a wingman you actually have any respect for.

"My friend (pointing to my friend) said he liked you, but he's too much of a pussy to come over here."

In my head this worked as an indirect opener because I'm not there for 'me', I'm hitting on them for my 'friend'. Ideally you can make them forget about your friend, or let your friend come over and join you and talk to a different girl in the set, obviously you get first pick.

You could probably use this line dolo too, just point to any wallflower in the bar/club.

OOOOH. I like this one!!! There are a ton of wallflowers you can pick from, it makes opening sooo easy.

5 people asked my wingman if had drugs a few weeks ago when we went to a club. It was strange but might of been a good thing.

We've been using this "let me ask you something - does my friend look like a drug dealer?" It brings both of us in and I doubt any girls have heard something like that.

This is more or less the exact opener Cajun used in his Keys to the VIP episode.

I get approached by college girls a lot in North Dakota based on my Spanish race alone. One girl TODAY approached me with this cheesy line, but it's funny how I fell for it.

Girl: "hey, can you tell me how much a Polar bear weighs?"
Mixx (looking confused) "I'm sorry, I don't know"
Girl:"enough to break the Ice, I'm Ashley"

Ha! She friggin' insta-dated me to. I respect a girl with enough balls to game me.

Mixx

Haha. Owned. I like it.

Anyway, my usual line these days is:
"You look happy (beat). What happened to you today?"

[dermanus]

"Hey, does this this smell like chloroform?"



I'm a situational guy, if you couldn't tell.

Careful: she could kick you in the balls and ask you if it feels painful as a result. Especially the feisty, Jewish girls.

"Perdona me, hermosa should I know you?" only have tried less than a handful of times, pretty good even in grubby clothes.

What should work best is G's favorite "Got a light?" underused(except by homeless and transients) classic

Yea I crush it with the got a light line. Its pretty much locked in you get a convo for the length of the cig. Problem is all the smoking

[thegmanifesto]

jgalt -

"Yea I crush it with the got a light line. Its pretty much locked in you get a convo for the length of the cig."

Excellent point.

That is why it is "The Greatest Opener of All Time".

It is an "opener" and buys you 5 min.

Nothing else can touch it pound for pound and round for round.

[dk902]

Have you got a light? is money. Always will be. My friend and I were talking about this line last night, he said "the smoking ban is the best thing that happened to the British male." Simple yet effective, I think that's the best philosophy.

Some more ones I've used recently:

"Quick question, Legally Blonde 1 or 2?" - It's a completely absurd question...as we all know Legally Blonde 1 was the best, just kidding. As I was saying, it's a silly question and starts the interaction off as fun and playful. So if you meet a girl or group who are in a good mood, this can be good. Best delivered with a deadpan serious face. It's congruent with my personality because I have pretty silly/childish humor.

This can also be altered to suit..."Bridget Jones' diary 1 or 2?" doesn't have to be films, but something that usually only in the domain of women helps. - So chick flicks, make up, etc.

I had a girl next to me at the bar the other night who was staring right at me blatantly obvious. This is like a two-pronged opener.

Me: See anything you like?

Her: Maybe..

Me: Are you just window shopping or are you making a purchase?

Her: Giggles and some other crap.

Me: I bet you're one of those girls who goes round shopping and tries dresses on and never buys them. I bet you went to H & M this afternoon and tried on 3 different skirts.


Then you can just carry on the conversation thread for as long as you like...as you're now in FFTT (Favorite Female Topic Territory). It's like going to the gas station and filling your tank full of gas, now you can drive for miles!

Just saw this, from my favorite director, Whit Stillman:

At an event where you are not the host, "Thank you for coming." Can be followed with "Do you like the music?"

Used this one recently at a CVS on Saturday night, cutie in line behind me, opened well:

"This your favorite hang out spot on a Saturday night?"

Decent opener for boring places like the dentist's office or the DMV, minus the Saturday night bit.

You've gotten eye-contact with the girl, but you're in a rush. You approach:

"Excuse me, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure"

"Are you single?"

Haha. Awesome. I was actually about to do this today but I thought it was too much. Definitely will try next time.

[CupCake]

"Man, that's a difficult decision, isn't it?"

Said to a girl who looks indecisive while shopping. You get to offer your opinion and then ask her what's she buying for. Good conversation starter.

I've been doing a lot of "I just had to ask you about (something you were wearing)" lines lately. It's surprisingly effective at getting girls to talk. This is my default for chicks that walk past me and I need something on the fly.

I've used something similar before, "you look like you just can't decide." If she digs your vibe, she'll respond well.

I used this opener a couple weeks ago and I think I heard some one mention this one before. I was standing there watching a lame cover band and this girl comes up and stands directly in front of me. I tap her on the shoulder and said "you're encroaching on my space" she smiles at me and I end up causally touching her and started talking to her. She asked my name and I danced with her a little bit.

I made out with her in less than 5 minutes but she ended up bouncing saying she doesn't know me and how she just met me. I think I was a little to aggressive with it. On a side note this relates to Roosh's post about how the wingman is dead. She might of not came over alone if I was with a group of dudes or a shit head wing.

This reminds me of one I used a couple weeks ago. I was posting up right next to the free water cooler. As the girl comes up,

"Actually, that's my water."

Can follow up with how you're well connected with the club owner, how you shipped the water from a volcanic spring on a Japanese island, whatever etc. Said in a dry/droll tone.

When a funny song comes on, like back that ass up: "How can you not dance to this?"

[Amour Fou]

I've been trying this recently:

I see a girl I like, I am standing still. I face her head on, and I keep myself on her field of vision. When she looks at me (most people will feel a bit disturbed with a random person staring straight at you) I make a curious/ambiguous face, smile assertively and confidently and wave/make a hand gesture at her.

Most of the time they smile and wave back. Enough to make her wondering if we've met before. I wait a bit, go to her and say "Hi!" in a confident manner, as if we've known each other for a long time.

And it carries on from that. Occasionally, they try and fill the gap, as I'm talking as if we know each other.

"Do I know you?"

"Yeah, we just met when I waved at you".

Carry on...

Inadvertently stumbled on this one last night while standing in line at the liquor store. Five minute conversation in the parking lot, preening and smiling but I was defeated by 'I have a boyfriend' and the venue (liquor store parking lot at about 7:15 at night) didn't merit a press.

Scene: ME (with one bottle of wine), standing in line at the liquor store, looking awesome. Enter A PETITE BLONDE holding two bottles of vodka, a 6-pack and a bottle of wine. We make eye contact.

Me (aloof smirk): Do you want to go ahead of me.
Her (Smiles): That'd be great...
Me (playfully): Well you can't!

The better I get, the more pedestrian my openers become. I love testing new material, but a simple 'How are you today?' is pretty much the standard procedure.

"Hey, Im going to steal your friend just for a minute. Hi, Im David. I really like your style..."

cell phone openers i've used mainly in club environments:

-on that crackbook again, huh
-dang girl, you stay tweetin don't ya
-i know ya fingers hurtin, give 'um a rest

"Do you like being a woman?"

I haven't used it a lot, but it never fails to get them engaged.

To add to the club openers:

"I almost wore that tonight"
To a girl who's on her phone: "He's not worth it"

Got them both from my player cousin. I thought they were stupid when I first heard them (I had no game). After getting laid from using them I'm a believer.

[naughtynomad]

1. "Hi, where are you from?"

I'm a one trick pony, but man does it get me far. Naaayyy!!

Similar to CJ: Everyone knows it in Ireland though....

2. "See my friend over there?" (point to someone uglier than you)

"Yeah.." (she's squirms)

"He want's to know if you'll kiss me..."

I used to clean up with that one in my teens. Is that one well known in the US?

3. (not recommended, but hilarious)

Give them the finger.

"Why do girls masturbate with this finger?"

"Why..."

"Cuz it's mine" Smile.

(but seriously, don't use this.)
