[Shaman]

I was just watching footage from the 21 convention that featured sinn. He said this little line and it was like a baseball to the temple.

Her: "I'm not gonna kiss/sex/go home with you"
Me: "We'll see. I'm very charming"

OMG COCKY FUNNY! Why have i never thought of that before?! I get this all the time and i always say some weak shit like "Well i didnt say you were but i like where your train of thought is going" or "Yeah right, get you mind out of the gutter". I mean dont get me wrong, both are better than not saying anything or Ok or whatever. Denying that your trying to sleep with them after you've made it clear you are is ussually pretty counter productive. What do you guys think?

Oh man, love these threads. I've tried most of these. I've done Bravo's 5 oceans opener (although I like to teasingly use it mid action).. but I didn't see my 2 favorite. One is from one of the SLA coaches a few years ago, but can't remember which coach gave it to me. It simply works to open, but I don't seem to get a good attraction level going. I still play with it just when I have AA because I know it will open, so it will get me going to get into the sarge mood. Simple, straight forward, Cosmo shit.

Open) Hey, I got to get back to my friends, but I have a real quick question that only one of you girls can answer... and I know you've all said it at least once. -pause- What does it mean when a girl says "I love you but I'm not in love with you?"

Target) Usually a quick laugh because they have used it, explain whatever bullshit they want

Followup) Awesome, my friend just had his gf tell him this, and I'm convinced it means she has a back burner boyfriend (Go on talking about how girls have multiple guy friends for emergency use, tease, etc).

Always a good open, but have hard transitioning to attraction. But I'm still working on it because I use the followup on girls all the time and it works. Accusing them of using guys playfully seems to help build attraction. But it works better midset so far.

Now, my number one opener I discovered one night near New Years... in all honesty because I was fucking damn curious and wanted to know! These are always the best openers.

Open) Hey, I neeeeeed a female opinion on this because I don't have long to find out... but would you rather go to New York or Las Vegas for New Years? (This works with any holiday, just switch places - lake or San Diego for 4th of July for example)

Her Answer

Followup, use some insight) Vegas huh? Party girl! (New York huh? Classy Classy). Have you ever been?!?

DVH's, lets her know A) you travel. B) you have social circles in many locations. C) are fun.

I love this routine, and it has yet to fail me in probably close to 30 opens. Have used this opener on my last 3 GFs, last 5 or 6 LRs. I just love it so it's my go to.

OMG, this is GENIUS. Love how you've thought it through as well, being able to transition into travels and all sorts of awesome DHV stories/routines. Definitely field-testing it this weekend.

I think the root on that one could be a little stronger and you could tie in a DHV too. For example:

Open) Hey, I neeeeeed an opinion on something...would you rather go to New York or Las Vegas for New Years? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to figure out where to spend my holiday.

I took out female so you can open mixed sets, and I added in a travel DHV.

[DJNinja]

20spot: Field-tested your Holiday Travel Opener, and like you said, AWESOME results. The transition to travel stories is AMAZING. Definitely adding this to my stack, will field-test it more tomorrow.

FR from last night using your opener

[FRO]

Gonna try that opener 20spot but will do lil tweaks to it for obvious reasons. For one I live in NYC, so I can't use NYC in it. But will ask it in terms of the different sections of the city. Will create it, test it out and post on results. Thanks for the post and helping me generate ideas from it.

[DJNinja]

FRO: I expanded on 20spot's Holiday Travel Opener and turned it into a routine stack from opener to number close, fully field-tested. Go check it out, adapt it to your situation, then post in that thread the results of it so we can all track it.

[FRO]

DJ: I've just read your FR with that opener. saw that you used cities that you have a wide knowledge about and visited. So I can see where its pretty easy to use. Lately, I've been a lot of situational openers, since NYC creates so many unique situations on a daily basis. Plus other openers I've learn from friends or just naturally created over time. But will work with the 20' created, thanks for the tips bro!!!

[Xerces]

I just added a few canned openers that I found pretty helpfull.

Horsegirl-Brad P also calls it a shocker. Kind of mixes opening with attraction material and teasing/slight neg

PUA-Hey do you like horses?

HB-yes/no/whatever

PUA-When I was in sixth grade there was this girl who used to draw horses on all of her notebooks and run around recess the whole time galloping and making horse noises.

HB-Um ok?(Getting bored/why are you telling me this?)

PUA- And you know what? You look JUST LIKE HER!

HB-Hahaha Im not the weird horsegirl/whatever she says

PUA-You see when I was young I was one of the cool kids and this girl was kinda nerdy. but now Im grown up and mature. I told myself if I ever ran into her I would tell her I was sorry. So I dont know if its you or not but do you forgive me?

They normally accept your apology and go into this little role play.

Each set I used this on HOOKED immediately. I thought it was a bit too much but what the hell? If Cupid and Stealth are gonna ask people if they would sleep with Jesus this is nothing.
