Openers
 

It always pays to have one opener you can crack out without even thinking about it when you see a set you want to talk to. No deliberation about what you think might sound good, just get in there with a bog standard opener.

I love my good mood opener. I've used it for quite a while, its simple and it starts the conversation in the right direction, Its grear for large sets since you can go round getting each person involved.

Hey Guys what do you do to put yourself in a good mood?

Or if you want to go for something more upfront, So who are you then...?

So lets open it up, what openers do you guys use?

My favourite is one I stole from monkeybuster:

What do women prefer? sex or shoes?

hahah!! i like that!

Who are you? - In a tone of voice that makes them feel they have to explain themselves to you..

Whats your name? - In a strange tone that kinda says I'm curious but not sure if i should be.. Again trying to make them prove themselves worthy..

Pretty much the only 'Canned' thing I ever use or else I hope something totally natural comes along to say on the way over to them..

Db.

walk up to them like you know them and ask

"So how do you know [insert friend's/random name]?"

usually followed by "I don't know [x]"

"You don't, oh well I'm daleinthedark"

Does this smell like chloroform to you?

What's your favourite dinosaur? Then immitate whatever they say - usually t-rex.

Talking about openors though you really can open with anything - jeffy licking the girls face.

Many use "who are you", but I have found that the following:

"Hey you look friendly, who are you?"
Leads them to feel the need to live up the the assumption and be friendly.

Also remember kids, what you acually say does not matter, it is how you say it. Come across with confidence, speak clearly and don't go inside your head. If you get a bad reaction, smile and Continue. Don't be dependant on a positive reaction or loom for IOIs etc

Positive presumptions are great to start a convo.

If you see a girl anywhere reading a book:

"Excuse me I am wondering if you could help me (women are nurturing and love to help), you look like a well read person (positve presumption), can you recommend me any books to read? Every book I pick up at the moment I put down after two chapters"

Bang.

Start a conversation from there then lead with other questions. Its indirect but it always works. Try it.

Indeedy do. You can literally use anything, just turn on that charm, failing that just turn her on :trampoline:

I found the long made up stories that bared no relevance to my life soon got me backed into uncomfortable corners, not to mention made not just the girls, but me yawn! Just go with stuff you can get excited about, stuff that let's your confidence and passion shine through. Talk about your day, what you cooked for lunch, it's all good.

I usually cant help going in a bit cocky funny.

"Hey has anyone ever told you that you look like (insert celebrity?)"

No

"thats cos u dont"

Or

"dont waste all that good eye contact, stop & talk to me"

Or a new one thanks to frankie on cbb "this could be the day we actually fall in love", havnt used this yet but i will.

I love daygame & situational openers too it feels best & more natural.

haha you say that however I find telling a girl that she looks like a non-ugly celebrity and they love it. I've got a HB9 I'm dating with a slight resemblance to Rachel Stevens, that's how I opened her...

U look like susan boyle... but a fit version

Exact words???

Or did u say she looked like rachael stevens??

Tbh mate I can't remember but it went something along those lines then a bit of a joke about s-club 7...

i know how much you hate the word " neg "

but that is a perfect example of one

then call me neggy mc negalot coz i reel shit like that off all the time

I usually say something observational and in the spur of the moment, like, "I saw this guy once in Bristol, he was absolutely sick", or, "Check this out - they do Death By Liquid here and it only cost a quid!"

Anyone worth talking to (I do this stuff with guys and girls) will be open to having a conversation. To be honest, this is the sort of stuff I do to warm up a bit and make a few friends.

Hell yeah. We're out to be social right?

1. Hey, I need to ask you your name, as my friend and I have been ltalking about you for the last 5 mins, Hi im steve

2. Hi Im Steve, hows it going

3. Hi

4.Hey i saw you over there and thought id better come ovre and say hello as i would regret it tomorrow if i didnt.

5. Hey, I was wondering have you broken any new years resoultions yet


Ps... I dont do canned shit anymore, its good to use when your starting off, but I dont nowadays...


steve

Did you invite all these people? i thought it was just gunna be the two of us

I know a guy who likes you, & if i wasnt so shy, i'd tell you who it is

I really could fall madly in bed with you

Excuse me, but i DO think it time we met

You are so beautiful that you've made me forget my standard pick up line

Is it hot in here or is it just you

You look like my 3rd wife..."how many times you been married?"...twice

Hey, how did you do that?..."do what?"...look so good

Your on my list of things to do tonight

So tell me about yourself, your dreams, ambitions, phone number

(beckon the girl towards you) i just made you come with one finger, imagine what i can do with two

Pick a number between 1 & 10, shit you lose now take off your clothes

I wonder what our children will look like

Ive lost my virginity, can i have yours (you can add "prove it" if she says shes not a virgin)

They are just random cocky funny lines, the opener aint important.

I like situational too mixed with daygame.

Paddys day tomorrow in my town. Gunna be millions (thousands) of people flocking to see other people dressed as leprachauns & wearing stupid green wigs.

Any funny openers spring to mind???

Suck my lucky charms, I'm Irish. (Done in a leprechaun accent)

Gunna use it for a laugh

'What's the worst line you've heard tonight...? apart from this one obviously.' :D

I'm Knave and you are...

Like it.

Get your coat love, I've got a knife!

haha love that!

Hey I was just wondering if i could have your opinion on something?

*at a club*

Me: "Hey! What's your name?"

Her: "Tanya. What's your's?"

Me: "ahh fuck it, your shit at dancing anyway. Come let's have a drink"


That's what my mates said I said to her. I don't remember using this at all but what ever I did worked well.

why are my posts being deleted :S

There not deleted.

Go for direct opener rather than a Stylelife opener.

Game178 read through this forum and drop the pu-gay thing.

Yeah my friend says he picks chicks up all the time when they're walking home after a night out "yeah mine?".

Or a funny one was outside a club a mate walked up to a girl and went:

"yeah we're going"
"Huh"
"Come on we're going now"
"uhhh okay. . . let me tell my friends"
"No Im going NOW"
"Ohh. . . .ummm. . . okay"

Full on direct like this is fun, its less 'consistent' though, but it depends on your own standards and views on what getting chicks is. The 'biggest player' I know is 100% indirect.

Like he doesnt know about pua but he full on berates, ignores chicks then when they're alone he'll pounce. Going direct doesnt make you better or cooler, just as long as you're not a pussy about how you do it.

I've not tried using many canned lines but on Friday night I wasn't gaming so low pressure time to try one out. I tried one from Tony77's post:

"Look at what she is drinking and say "You know I can tell a lot about a person by what they drink" she will ask "what can you tell about me?" "that you're an alcoholic"

The way it came out though was I said to her: "you can tell a lot about a woman by what she drinks" she was wondering whether it was a joke or not so there was anticipation. After a bit when I said "You're an alcoholic" She absolutely loved it.

I'm putting that one in the memory bank.

"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful...I am"

You: "Are you two sisters?"

Them: "no...what made you think that?"

You: "same lipstick"

Used the "alcoholic" opener at a bar on Saturday .... Went down great. My new favourite
