Types of Openers (by Thundercat)

Now that you know some of the basic theories, tactics, and strategies, now it’s time to introduce you to the specifics. As listed earlier, there are ten different types of Openers that will be discussed in this article. The Openers are listed in alphabetical order, along with brief explanations of the Opener, the Structure of each Opener so you can eventually learn to construct your own personal ones, and specific examples of Openers that not only illustrate what we are discussing, but that you can also use in you
interactions with women.

Advice Opener

One of the best ways to get people interested in you is to present yourself as some type of authority figure. If you can speak confidently enough about something, while also giving people some much appreciated guidance, you can engage anybody in a conversation.
The best way to present yourself as an authority in someone else’s world is to give people advice. The Advice Opener is a way to engage someone by doing this, so you not only present yourself as an authority figure, but you also hook them into a conversation. By nature, the Advice Opener falls under the category of “unsolicited advice.” Often times, this type of advice can come off as annoying, since people neither asked nor wanted any advice from you in the first place. So to counteract this, you have to give VALUABLE advice to someone in order to get them engaged. So how do you make your advice
valuable? Well, firstly, you want to make it PRACTICAL.
Urging someone to walk out into the middle of a freeway is quite impractical advice, because you’re advising them to put themselves in a bad situation. When we say practical advice, we are talking about advice that can give it’s recipient a logical benefit, and is something they are actually physically capable of following. The second way to make your advice valuable is to make it positive and supporting of your target’s choice. This is important, because when you support your target’s choice, you are not only telling them what they want to hear (and therefore will be accepted more readily), but you are also suggesting a commonality between you and your target. And when you make the advice positive, you are presenting an attractive option that you’re target may follow. And if they accept your advice, you have established yourself as an authority.
On a quick note, Advice Openers are also somewhat context dependant. If it doesn’t look like your target is in a situation where she needs advice, it might be preferable to Open with another type of Opener. So with this in mind, let’s get to the structure of a solid Advice Opener.
Structure After spotting your target, observe her situation and find something to comment on. Then, approach your target by offering your advice, and end by engaging them in some fashion.

Intruder �� Offer Advice �� Engage Target
As I mentioned before, this type of Opener is rather context dependant. You can usually find a way to give someone good advice by analyzing the context you are in and the possibilities that your target may
explore. Think of it like a chess game: What are the possible moves your target is going to make? Help them pick the best move and share with them why they should make it.
Examples

--The “Gas” Opener
I’ve used this one at gas stations with some success. Occasionally, while you’re fueling up your car, you’ll see a rather attractive woman doing so nearby. If this is the situation, I’ll see how much she’s
spending on gas. If it looks like she’s filling up her tank, I’ll usually call out:

“Hey, you know, you should never let your gas gauge fall below ¼ of a tank. All sorts of dirt and grime
accumulate at the bottom of your gas tank, and if you go past the ¼ mark, you are putting all that dirt
and grime into your engine. It’ll save you lots of money in the long run on car repairs. Do you know a
lot about cars?”
This is actually good advice when it comes to vehicle maintenance, and most women don’t know this little trick. If you notice, I take a read on the situation, offer this advice, and then engage the girl by asking her about her knowledge of cars. Most of the time, women won’t know a lot about the subject. But this gives you the opportunity to segue into something they do know a lot about, and BOOM! You’ve got a conversation going. But also notice that this piece of advice is also something the woman can realistically do, so it’s not worthless advice. That’s the real key to making Advice Openers work.

--The “Cheer Up” Opener
This one works well if you see a girl who’s by herself either waiting, looking bored, or has a frown on her face. Simply walk to her, point, and say…

“Hey, cheer up! Things can’t get much worse!” This will usually get a laugh or a smile. You can then segue into this follow-up.
“You know it takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown? Why do you think that is?”
From here you can talk about the difference between being happy and being sad, or any number of ther
things. But this is a good Opener to use because it’s quite positive and energetic. When in doubt, you can never go wrong by advising someone to smile!

--The “Closed-Off” Opener
This Opener works well when you see a woman standing around with her arms crossed. Approach her and say…

“Hey, is everything all right? You looks so closed-off with your arms crossed liked that! If you uncross
them you’ll look so much friendlier!”
This’ll get them to uncross their arms. This is a neat little bodylanguage trick, because once your target’s body language is corrected, their attitude will follow and they will become more open to conversation. Just have a story ready or stack another Opener on top of this one, because even though this bit of advice Opens, there’s not many places you can go with it conversation-wise.
Conclusion Advice Openers can be any suggestion you offer your target that is practical and positive. Often times, these types of Openers will rely on your own personal knowledge and opinions. But when the opportunity presents itself, as long as the advice is real and sincere, don’t be afraid to share it with your target.

The Compliment Opener

The compliment is probably the oldest Opener known to man. This is perhaps its greatest weakness. Because the Compliment Opener has been used so often, it has lost much of its sincerity. Though, that’s not to say women don’t love flattery. But what you might find interesting about your target
and compliment her on may be something she hears all the time, and this not only fails to distinguish yourself from every other guy out there, but it also fails to engage your target. I remember when I was out at a bar one time and talking to a guy I had bumped into. He was waiting around, drinking his drink,
eyeing a group of three girls up at the bar.
Suddenly, his opportunity presented itself as two of the girls left for the bathroom, leaving their rather attractive friend unattended at the bar. This guy turned to me and said:

“It’s been nice talking to you, but I’m gonna talk to that girl now.”
Interested in what he was going to say, I asked him what he was going to Open her with. He said…

“She’s got on a cool shirt. I’m gonna compliment her on her shirt. Girls love it when guys notice things about what they’re wearing.”
I couldn’t help but cringe. Sure, the girl was wearing a really cool, jewel encrusted shirt, but I knew that she’s probably heard “Hey, that’s a cool shirt” a million times before. I tried to tell this to the guy I was talking to, but he dismissed me and went to talk to the girl anyway. I watched for a few minutes as he complimented the girl on her shirt, and she promptly ignored him until her friends came back, at which point the whole group gave him the cold shoulder.
Honestly, girls hear compliments all the time, and though it’s nice to be flattered, they will often see through your reason for complimenting them – i.e. you telegraph interest when you compliment a woman.
But Compliment Openers can work if done right. And by “Doing it right,” I mean complimenting a girl on something that is unique, and not every guy will notice. This usually means complimenting her on
something OUTSIDE her physical beauty or fashion tastes. Not only will this kind of Opener make the girl feel good, but will make you stand out from all the other Moes who approach her.

Structure
Compliment Openers can be difficult because you have to have something to compliment the girl on. So with that in mind, you must first notice something about the girl you can compliment. The structure of a good Compliment Opener is as follows:

Notice something unique about the girl �� Intruder �� Compliment your Target on her Unique Trait �� Question of Introduction
You are usually looking for something that is “outside” the girl’s normal reality to comment on. Something she may not know or others may not notice about her. This usually has to do with her body language, attitude, or energy. Once you establish this unique trait, lead it into a conversation by
asking her about it or introducing yourself.
Examples

--The “Dancer” Opener
This is a good one to use if you’ve gotten a chance to see a woman walking in some way. Simply
approach and say:
“Hey, are you by any chance a dancer? Because you move with such grace and confidence, you have to
be professionally trained. Who’s your teacher?”
If she says she’s not a dancer, follow up with:
“Well, I bet if we get you in a club that’s a different story.”
Complimenting a girl on the way she moves has a somewhat sexual undertone, but is not overtly sexual. Nor does it telegraph interest on your part. Noticing the way a woman moves and commenting on it can be quite flattering to any woman, because they’re not used to hearing about it.

--The “Walking in Heels” Opener
This is an Opener you can use if a woman is wearing high heels. Walk up to her and say:
You: “How high are those heels?”
Her: (answer)
You: “Wow, you know, you really know how to walk in them. Most women are so clumsy and
uncoordinated. It’s such a lost art. Good to know there are still some women around who know how
to do it right. Did you have to go to charm school for that? How’d you learn?”
This is a strong compliment because it implies a certain kind of sophistication on the woman’s part. It also exalts her from other women and makes her feel like she stands out from the crowd. This is another compliment that is subtly sexual, because walking in heels is a very feminine thing to do, and by complimenting her on it, you are really complimenting her on her femininity.

--The “Settle Down” Opener
I like to use this one on girls who are dancing, having fun, and generally being the “life of the party,” so to speak.
(Walk up to the girl)”Hey now, you have to settle down. You’re making all the other girls look bad! That’s not cool.”
This is, of course, meant to be said in a joking manner. You are complimenting the girl on outshining all the other girls in the vicinity in a funny way that’s not too direct. I have opened a great many
successful interactions with this Opener. The best follow up I’ve found is this:
“But, if you REALLY wanna get everyone jealous, let’s show them how it’s done!”
And then proceed to dance with them or drag them to the dance floor.

--The “Confidence” Opener
You can use this Opener with any girl who seems very assertive or opinionated. Also, if it looks like
the girl knows where she’s going or what she’s doing, this is a good one to throw at her.
“Wow, you are SO confident! Are you like the CEO of a company or something? Because you act so
completely sure of yourself, it’s amazing. Do you find that people are often too intimidated to talk to
you?”
Women like to be told that they seem strong and confident. And the thing about people being
intimidated to talk to them will often strike a chord with women because, especially if they are
beautiful, they might find that people often ARE intimidated by them.

--The “Girly Girl” Opener
This is one to use if your target is very feminine. What we mean by “girly” is when a girl is almost
immature in her femininity. Most young party girls will often act overly “girly.”
“Oh my God, you are so GIRLY! You know, most women today think they have to be all tough and macho because of feminism and stuff. It’s so great to see there are still girls out there who like being girls.”
I like this Opener because you are complimenting her on something that she’s probably been made fun
of about in the past, and she’s probably rather insecure about it. But like the “Walking in Heels”
Opener, this one points out her femininity and encourages it, and therefore has subtle sexual undertones.
Conclusion
As the old saying goes: “Flattery will get you everywhere.” You just have to know the right things to flatter. With Compliment Openers, you can Open anyone in a way where they are guaranteed not to be
offended. You just need to make sure you are sincere enough in your compliments so as not to telegraph your intentions.
Direct Openers

This is probably the most dangerous form of Opener there is, not just because it telegraphs interest quite blatantly (and therefore your intention) but it is also the easiest for a girl to reject. However, if
pulled off correctly, the Direct Opener can be very effective.
The purpose of a Direct Opener is to automatically take charge of the situation you’re in, and impose your agenda on your target. It is a very blunt way of taking over your target’s reality and imposing your own upon them. But it’s this imposition that also creates resistance from your target. But if you’re skillful enough a conversationalist to bypass any resistance, this type of Opener can get you in with your target fast.
Structure
The structure of a Direct Opener is a relatively simple one. It is:
Intruder �� Statement of Intent
That’s it. You just interrupt your target’s reality and tell them why you’re doing so. The purpose behind doing this is to communicate that you are not intimidated by your target and you make no excuses for
your desires.
Examples

--The “I want to meet you” Opener
This is a relatively simple one. All you do is walk up to your target, smile, and say:
“Hi. I like you. I wanted to meet you. My name is…”
Once you’ve introduced yourself, you can take the conversation anywhere you want to.

--The “Drive-By” Opener
I call this the “Drive-By” because you are adding in a time constraint into the interaction which usually
telegraphs an impulsiveness of some sort.
“Hey, I can’t talk long, but you seem really cool and I wanted to meet you. My name is…”
This is good to use if it looks like your target is in a hurry and doesn’t have time to talk. On the flip side, it’s good if YOU’RE in a hurry and really don’t have time to talk. After using this one, you’re gonna want to hurry and get her contact information or set up a meeting.

--The “What’s your name” Opener

This is an Opener where you start off by making the girl introduce herself. An Oldie but Goodie.
“Hi, what’s your name?”
From here, it’s typically best to either introduce yourself in return, launch into a story of some sort, or
give her instructions to further your interaction. You can even stack a few more Direct Openers on this
one. For example:
You: “Hi, what’s your name?”
Her: blah, blah.
You: “I really like you and wanted to
meet you. My name is…”

--The “Joey from Friends” Opener
I call this the “Joey” Opener because the character Joey on the television show “Friends” popularized this Opener. It’s meant to be said jokingly in your best New Jersey accent.
Walk up to a girl, look her over, smile, then say:
“How YOU doin’?”
Some girls love this because it can be really funny, and if they’re a fan of the show, they’ll get the humor. Some might not respond to it, but if that’s the case, you can point out they either don’t know the
joke or aren’t a fan of the show.

--The “Leer” Opener
This is a bit of a risky Opener because it’s quite overtly sexual and could turn a girl off. But if done with the right attitude and the right context, it can be quite fun. Basically you want to noticeably walk up to a girl, look her up and down, smile, nod, and say:
“Yeeeeeeeah…”
The girl will either be flattered and play along, or she’ll be offended and creeped out. If the latter is the
case, apologize by saying:
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were so sensitive. I take it back, I don’t find you attractive at all.”
If this offends the girl more, trust me, she isn’t someone you want to get to know better. But most girls
will come around after this one, especially if you do it with a positive, joking attitude.
Conclusion
These are a few examples of Direct Openers. There are countless others. Everything from “Wanna dance?” to “How much for a blowjob?” can be considered “Direct.” The most important thing to remember when using this type of an opener is to be congruent with it and make no apology for your rather blatant desires as a man. If you stick to it, though your target may not go for you, they WILL, at the very least, respect you.

Drama Opener

Whether it be in movies, television, or real life, nothing captures the attention of someone like DRAMA! But this is true especially when it comes to women. Drama gets the emotions stirred up, and has the ability to enrapture people and engage them in powerful ways. The Drama Opener is more of a story of a dramatic event that usually involves some type of conflict. Like all good stories, it has its characters and it’s climaxes, and usually a bit of humor as well. But one thing to keep in mind is that you always want to put yourself in the drama in some way in order to help you engage your target. By making yourself part of the drama that unfolds, you in essence make it YOUR story. And nothing
is more powerful than sucking someone into your story.
But one thing you want to be careful of is to make sure you are not the INSTAGTOR of the drama. If you portray yourself as the cause of these conflicts, people may be scared to interact with you. After all, people love drama, as long as THEY are not a part of it.
Structure
The idea behind Drama Openers is that you want to hook your target right away, and then launch into the story that is the source of the drama. In order to do that, you’re going to want to engage you’re target’s curiosity, while at the same time linking that curiosity to you. To do this we use what I call a “Hook Statement.” A Hook Statement is anything that puts you in a story in such a way that your target becomes intrigued. The following is an example of a Hook Statement I like to use:
“You won’t believe what just happened to me.”
The above statement not only engages your target by challenging them to believe what you are about to tell them, but it also thrusts you right into the forefront of the story and your target’s attention.
So the structure of a good Drama Opener is this:
Intruder �� Hook Statement �� Story ��
Resolution
The Resolution is where the drama comes to close in your story. It’s usually best to include some type of humorous outcome or lesson in the resolution that resonates with your target.
Examples

--The “Car on Fire” Opener
This is an example of a real life situation that I adapted into a good Drama Opener. This one is good to
use with solitary targets or groups in pretty much any situation.
“Hey guys, you won’t believe what just happened to me. I was eating dinner with a few friends of mine at this restaurant, and all of a sudden, we hear this scream. And we look up and see a car in the parking lot with smoke billowing out of the hood. And the girl who owns the car is out there freaking out. So the first thing that runs through my mind is “This car is going to blow up!” So I get up and tell everyone to get away from the windows and to the back of the restaurant. But instead of that, everyone whips out their cell phones and digital cameras, and runs outside to start taking pictures of the car! Meanwhile, flames are engulfing the hood of the car, and all these people are standing not five feet away taking pictures! Can you believe that? I mean, why would anyone endanger their lives for a few stupid photos!”
(If they ask what happened, use this Resolution)
“Well, eventually the fire department shows up and tears the hood of the car off so they can put out the fire. As they were doing this, one of the firemen was yelling at everyone for videotaping everything and not seeking shelter. It was quite exciting. I got some really great pictures to remember it by too.”
So the Resolution to the story is that you ended up doing something which you criticized others for doing as well, which will usually get a laugh.
But you also paint yourself as a man of action by taking the initiative to try and save people by telling them to get away from the danger.

--The “Street Brawl” Opener
If people go to enough bars or clubs where over-testosteronized guys consume copious amounts of
alcohol, chances are they’ve seen fights break out. So stories where you talk of witnessing fights outside of clubs and bars are relatable to pretty much anyone, but no less exciting. This Opener works best on mixed groups that contain both men and women.
“Hey guys, you won’t believe what I just saw. I was outside of this club, right, and there was this BIG guy outside with a mohawk. And he was arguing with this little preppie guy over something, I don’t know what. And all of a sudden, this mohawk guy just CLOCKS the other dude – hard! Not only does he punch the guy, but he follows through with his elbow, so it’s like a straight 1-2 hit! And the guy who got punched just stands there for a minute, like his brain doesn’t quite realize what just happened, and he falls straight back onto the concrete like he’s stiff as a 2-by-4, and just lays there looking straight up into the sky with his eyes wide open. And everyone’s looking at this just stunned. And this guy isn’t moving, isn’t even blinking, and I’m thinking “Crap, this guy is dead! He’s fucking dead and I’m a
witness!”
(If they ask what happened next, use this Resolution)
“Well, his friends helped him up and the guy snapped out of it and he started talking shit again. So the
mohawk guy comes back and tries to throw down, and their friends are holding them apart. Eventually the cops show up and everyone gets arrested. The funny thing is, these guys who got arrested drove their girlfriends to the club, so these poor girls were stranded. Me and my buddies ended up taking them to get something to eat and then home. We’re lovers, not fighters, you know? But I’m sure those guys worked out their differences in prison.”
This Opener is meant to show that you’re more of an intellectual than a ruffian, and that you look down
your nose at physical violence, and prefer to be a good lover as opposed to a good fighter, as you imply with the resolution of the story.

--The “Cat Fight” Opener
Like the “Street Brawl” Opener, this one has to do with two GIRLS fighting as opposed to two GUYS.
There’s a different dynamic when girls fight because in a way it’s more rare and interesting to hear about than guys throwing down. This Opener works best on groups made up of only women.
“Hey guys, you won’t believe what I just saw. I was outside this bar, and there were these two girls arguing with each other. I guess they used to be best friends or something, and one of them stole the other girl’s boyfriend. And all of a sudden, one of them grabs the other by the hair and DRAGS her down to the ground. And they’re on the ground clawing at each other and slamming their heads into the concrete, and the guy they’re fighting over is standing there with his friends LAUGHING at them, like it’s sooooo cool that he has two girls fighting over them. Can you believe that?”
(Next, use this Resolution.)
“Yeah, I’m a real cold-hearted BASTARD, aren’t I? Actually, I’m curious, would you ever fight over a
guy like that?”
The “Cat Fight” Opener is meant to be a fun, entertaining story that implies you’re somewhat of a ladies man, albeit jokingly. But it also leads into a conversation as to whether the women you are talking to would ever be passionate enough over a guy to fight over him.

--The “G-String” Opener
I got this one from Croatian Pick-Up Artist BadBoy, who teaches men how to pick-up women in his live infield workshop. It’s a good, funny Opener that deals with the kind of relationship faux-pas many girls love to talk about.
“Hey guys, you won’t believe what’s going on with a friend of mine and his girlfriend. They’ve been dating each other for six months now, and my friend really loves her. But they had this big fight a few weeks ago, and she went to visit her mother to cool down. And while she was gone, my friend was so depressed, that he ended up hooking up with some random girl he met in a club. Anyway, a few days later, his girlfriend comes back, and she finds this girl’s thong panties under the bed, and she KNOWS this thong isn’t hers. So she confronts my friend on this, and he lies and says that the panties are his! And that he likes to dress up in women’s underwear. So I don’t know if his girlfriend knew he was lying and just wanted to punish him, or if she really is into this or not, but she said she thinks that’s really kinky and wants him to wear women’s underwear around the house. So he’s been doing this for a few weeks now and is absolutely… MISERABLE!”
(Next, use this Resolution)
“So I think he should just come clean and let his girlfriend know what happened. What do you guys
think? How important is trust in a relationship? Or do you think some things should remain hidden, even if it means being miserable?”
This is a pretty funny story, and the resolution is one where you open up further conversation about
relationships, something women love to talk about. Sometimes, the girls will even think you’re talking
about yourself! To which you can reply shyly “Yeah, it is me. But it’s STRICTLY a comfort thing, okay?”
Conclusion
Drama Openers can be any story that has to do with some sort of conflict. All you have to do is watch a soap opera to get an idea of what kind of drama women like. It’s usually light drama, where no one gets killed, or some funny situation someone has gotten backed into. Try to keep the stories funny and engaging, with surprise twists and turns to keep people interested.

Insult Opener

To call this an “Insult” Opener is a bit of a misnomer. Perhaps a better name for it would be an “Undermining” Opener, because the purpose of this Opener is to say something nice to someone to Open them up, but then undermine it right away to make the person you’re Opening insecure to the point where they feel the need to either correct you or prove themselves to you.
The reason for doing this may be because your target has too high a perceived social value or is being obnoxious or bitchy. This can be a tricky type of Opener to pull off, because you do run the risk of offending your target. But sometimes people need to be humbled before they are able to relate to you on a more personal level, and the Insult Opener is the best way to do it.
But probably the best trait of an Insult Opener is that it forces your target to engage you. This type of Opener is meant to either create or prey on insecurities that are already present within your target, and get them to try and explain to you why these insecurities exist. Once this happens, the target is effectively engaging YOU. This is the real power of an Insult Opener, because anytime your target feels the need to prove something to you, it ups your perceived social value in their eyes on a subconscious level.
Structure
A good Insult Opener is never overtly insulting. Rather, it’s more of an “unkind compliment.” Something where people know it wasn’t quite a nice thing to say, but they can’t tell for sure.
The structure of the Insult Opener is:
Intruder �� Compliment �� Undermining
Statement
It’s very important that the Compliment is made FIRST, before the Undermining Statement, otherwise you run the risk of offending your target and ruining the interaction before you have a chance to turn
it around and engage them.
Examples
It should be noted that most Insult Openers are not meant for groups, but should rather be directed at individual targets. By preying on the insecurities of an individual, you can use their uncertainty in themselves to your advantage. However, when preying on the insecurities of a group, there are factors
present within the group which may react badly to your Opener and turn the entire group against you. It is better to use this type of Opener with sniper-like precision rather than a carpet bomb.

--The “It’s still nice” Opener
This is an Opener you can use if a woman has something about her which is obviously fake, for example: She dyes her hair. Be sure to say this with a smile, and as genuinely as you can.
“Wow, you’re hair is gorgeous! Is it naturally (whatever color her hair may be)?”
Get her answer. After she says
“No,” follow up with this
Undermining Statement:
(looking disappointed) “Oh. Well, I suppose it’s still nice.”
You can do this with fake nails, fake breasts (in certain venues), fake eyelashes etc. You can even adapt it to clothing your target may be wearing.
Notice that with this type of Opener, you actually WANT to compliment women on physical attributes – which is the opposite of the Compliment Opener. But when you undermine these physical attributes, it has a much more powerful effect than simply complimenting them.
Notice also that this Opener is not the MOST engaging Opener there is. That’s why you need to launch
into another Opener or story right afterwards.

--The “Mimic” Opener
This is a fun Opener to do, and can actually be quite entertaining (though not for your target, who
may get annoyed with you doing this – but that’s not always a bad thing!).
The idea behind this Opener is to start imitating your target in the most annoyingly whiny, overexaggerated, girlie-voice you can muster.
Girl: (talking to her friends) “Oh my God, I saw the most amazing pair of shoes today…”
You: (in high-pitched tone)
“Meeeeh!!! Ohmuhgawd! I saw the most amazin’ pair ah SHOES taday…. MEEEEEH!!!!”
Girl: “Seriously, I want to get them.”
You: “Meeeh, lookatme! I wanna buy some shoes! MEEEEH!!!!!”
And on and on it goes. This is a good Opener to use if the girl is holding court and you’re standing nearby. Eventually the girl will engage you about what you’re doing, at which point she is effectively Opening you. From here you can either tell her you’re just busting on her because you couldn’t resist, or apologize and move onto another Opener or story.
If you do this right, people around you will be laughing. If you do it wrong, those people won’t be around you for long.

--The “Did he call?” Opener
This is an Opener I use when I see a girl checking her cell phone or just getting off her cell phone. Simply acknowledge her and say:
“Did he call yet?”
This is implying that she’s desperately waiting for her boyfriend or some guy she likes to call her. There are two possibilities that are common responses to this Opener. Either the girl will say
“No.” Or they’ll ask “Did who call?”
With the “No,” follow up by saying something like:
“That’s a shame. You seem like such an amazing woman! Is there something wrong with you?”
With the “Did who call?” response, follow up with:
“You know, the guy who’s headover- heels in love with you. Or are you playing hard to get with him
too?”
With either of these follow-ups, you’re undermining the statement you made before and setting the
stage for her to correct your statements. Once that happens, you’ve got her.

--The “I don’t like you” Opener
This is an Opener where you suddenly, out of the blue, say to your target:
“Hey, you know what? I don’t like you. We’re not going to get along.”
This is a change from the typical structure of the Insult Opener because you are starting off with an
overt negative statement instead of a compliment. But the undermining is the same. Usually a girl will
respond like “What? Why?” or “Okaaaay…” to which you follow up with:
“It’s because we’re too much alike. I can tell we have too much in common. All we’ll do is fight and
fight and fight and fight and have hot, steamy make-up sex, and fight some more. And I can’t be in a
relationship like that, it’s just too emotionally charged.”
You undermine the insult by following it up with a commonality, and then make a joke out of it. This
is a rather overtly sexual Opener, because of the “make-up sex” line, but in a way it relieves the hostile tension while replacing it with a sexual tension, which is a good thing. This Opener does quite well for me in Bars and Clubs.
Conclusion
The Insult Opener isn’t always the best way to start off an interaction, but sometimes it’s necessary to prey on your target’s insecurities as well as play against expectations of presenting yourself as
neutral or favorable of your target. By setting yourself up as someone your target has something to prove to, you can effectively shift the responsibility of starting a conversation to your target instead of you trying to engage them.
Joke Openers

In a way, the Joke Opener is the most powerful way to Open a target, but it is also the most difficult Opener to do. The reason it is difficult is because the Opener has to be funny. But the reason it’s powerful is because it gets your target laughing, and laughter is instantly disarming, and raises your perceived social value to the target.
But another reason why this type of Opener can be a bit sticky is because you’re going to have to be congruent with the funny/entertaining aspect of it. For instance, if you’re a stick-in-the-mud with the emotional expressiveness of Al Gore, or better yet, a cardboard box, and the only funny thing you do all night is your prememorized Joke Opener, people are going to know something’s off and you’ll lose your
target. But if you’re a funny guy, or even a somewhat intelligent guy who can crack a joke or two, an Opener like this should work just fine.
Structure
So how do we construct a good Joke Opener? Well, the basis of a joke – or any form of humor at all – is the unexpected. Think about every funny joke you’ve ever heard. The punchline is always something
you weren’t expecting. So in order for you to construct a Joke Opener, you have to have a set up that leads someone to believe one thing, and then a punchline that unexpectedly brings in a new perspective to the set-up.
So here’s the structure:
Intruder �� Set-Up �� Unexpected
Punchline
Just make sure the set-up and punchline are quick ones. Nothing kills humor faster than a long, drawn-out set-up!
Examples
Here are a few examples of good, solid Joke Openers.

--The “Good-Looking People” Opener
This Opener works well if you’re not a “conventionally” good looking person and your target is quite good looking. This is also best to use in low-key settings with solitary targets (for example, standing in
line). Basically, you walk up to your target, and say the following…
(Shake your head in an exasperated way) “Hey, let me tell you something about good looking people… we’re not well liked.”
You may have a delayed reaction from this one, but once people get the joke, you’re value will be raised in their eyes because it’s “smart humor.” And the fact that your target got the joke will make them feel like they are on your level of intelligence, which will help validate them and open them up for
further conversation.

--The “Gay Cow” Opener
This Opener is very effective on groups, and I have used it to open numerous groups of women with
great success. It’s typical “girl humor,” and is most effective on groups made up of all girls.
“Hey guys, what do gay cows eat?” (after they respond, twirl your finger in the air, and in your best
gay voice, say) “Haaaaayyyyyy!” Girls will never fail to crack up at this one. It works great at parties and club/bar environments.

--The “Keg” Opener
The “Keg” refers to a “Keg of Beer.” I used to use this Opener in college with great success. It’s a
rather overly sexual Opener, but if delivered right, the girl will usually laugh. It does walk the line of being a “cheesy pick-up line,” however, so you must be in a confident, jokey mood to do it right.
(Walk up to a girl, point at her pants) “Yo, do you got a keg in your pants?” (She’ll usually look at you
with a blank, confused stare, or respond “No.” After this, smile and say jokingly) “’Cause I’d like to tap that ass!” After this, you can even throw in a “snap” of the fingers or two and move on.
This Opener works best at wild parties where alcohol is prevalent. It’s usually most effective on younger party girls, and is great for “short set” method where you bounce from one target to the other.

--The “Wanna Fight?” Opener
This is a quick and easy Opener that is meant to be used in bars, clubs, and parties where people are out to have a good time. It’s similar to the “Keg” Opener in the respect it is meant to be said with the same amount of tongue-and-cheek.
(Walk up to your target with a serious look on your face, scowl, shake your fist, and say)”Wanna
fight?” (Get your target’s response, or let the question hang for a minute, then smile devilishly and
say) “Then we could have make-up sex.” (The target will usually laugh. But even if they don’t,
proceed.) “I’m just kidding. We don’t need to fight to do that.”
This is a fun one, because the Opener “Wanna fight?” instantl telegraphs you’re not serious and
that there is a joke implied in your interaction. Women seem to respond pretty favorably to this
Opener, but I haven’t had much success with it in less social venues, such as coffee shops and bookstores where women aren’t as outgoing.
Conclusion
Basically, any joke that is quick and relatively simple is great to use as an opener. A good investment in some cheesy joke book at any Barns & Noble can literally give you hundreds of ways to open women in any situation.

Online Openers

With the popularity of the Internet, it is impossible to dismiss it as a way to meet the girl of your dreams. We’ve all heard the stories of people finding their soulmates and one true loves through places like Match.com and Yahoo! Personals. In a way, meeting people Online can be so much easier than meeting people in real life. Then again, in other ways, it can be more difficult. Difficult because you have no knowledge of their environment, or even if they are who they say they are. But regardless, there are tricks you can do Online to get people interested in talking to you and meeting in real life.
Structure
The structure of Online Approaches varies, but I’ll lay out the ones I have used with great effect. There are two kinds of structures for approaching online: one for EMail, and another for Instant Messaging.
E-Mail
Greeting �� Funny Demonstration of your Target's Reality �� Create Curiosity about Yourself �� Issue a Challenge Instant Messaging Greeting �� Issue a Challenge
You’ll notice that the structure for an E-Mail Opening is more involved than the Instant Message Opening. This is because Instant Messaging is meant to engage the target quickly before she is distracted by something else. E-mail allows you to take your time a bit and build a letter that will engage her better.
Examples

--The “Whammy” Opener
This is an e-mail that I like to send out that always Opens girls very well. I call this the “Whammy”
because I get maybe 5 or 6 responses from every 10 I send out with this one. The trick is, with any
e-mail you send out on a dating service, to be light and funny. You may want to come up with your own
following the structure I lay out above instead of using this one.
Nothing’s worse than sending out a letter to find out some girl got the exact same thing from a buddy you shared it with (and this book is sharing this with a lot of guys!).
So here’s the Opener:
Hey little miss (insert her screen name here), Either you’re just using that name to hide from the police, or your parent’s were awful cruel to you. Anyway, you’ve probably gotten a few dozen e-mails from
losers who are freshly divorced from their 8th wife, have 5 bratty kids, a sexy picture of an overly-hairy back on their profile, and who just got promoted to flipping burgers at McDonalds. Either that, or you’re being hit on by the geriatrics who discovered the Internet and Metamucil at that same time and
are feeling as virile as a twenty year old.
Well, I’m not going to spend too much time talking about myself, but I’m good looking, muscular, funny,
exciting, adventurous, cool, a real man’s man -- the kind of man other men want to be, and women want
to be with! But most of all, out of everything else, my best trait is… I’m modest. ☺
So if you’re looking to further your career at McDonalds, or think that Liver Spots are really, really hot, then I’m not the guy for you. But if you want to meet up and have a great time and some great
conversation, then we should get together. If you think you can handle it, that is!
Talk soon,
(your name)
(your e-mail address)
I usually like to include her screen name in the e-mail because it personalizes it a little bit, but it also
helps you keep track of who responds to you. You also always want to include your personal e-mail
address so women who aren’t subscribed to the service can e-mail you back if they like your letter.
But if you notice the structure of the e-mail, in the first paragraph, I showed I have an understanding of
her reality in a funny way. The fact is, most internet girls got LOADS of responses from loser men every day. So by making fun of that, she instantly connects with me and what I’ve written.
In the second paragraph, I create curiosity be talking about myself in an overblown manner, and then
undermining it by saying I’m modest. This’ll make women curious to know who I REALLY am. And in the last paragraph, I issue a challenge. This is why I think I get so many responses from this e-mail,
because I’ve set up I’m funny and interesting, but I make it sound like she isn’t, so now she’s got
something to prove to me. And the only way she can do that is to e-mail me back.
You can follow the exact same structure in any e-mail you send out. I’m sure it’ll get just as good of
results!

--The “Who are You?” Opener
This Opener I use primarily for Instant Messaging. It’s quick, easy, and issues a challenge quite nicely.
“Hey, who are you and what are you doing on my computer?” This’ll start up the IM conversation quite nicely.

--The “Dork” Opener
This is another Instant Message Opener that is meant to issue a challenge quickly and get a
conversation going.
“What’s up, dork?”
Calling a girl a Dork is an inherent challenge. Inevitably, they’ll try and prove to you they aren’t a dork, or argue with you about it. Before you know it, they’re in a conversation.
Conclusion
Basically, you don’t need much to Open someone over Instant Messenger. If they’re on IM anyway, they’re usually bored enough to speak to anyone. Just be sure to spell right and make your grammar and typing as nice as possible to present the best possible image of you being a smart, intelligent
person.
Also, keep in mind your goal for Opening anyone over the Internet is to get to talk to them on the phone or meet them in real life. So your conversations after Opening should be geared towards making that happen.
Opinion Opener

Opinion Openers are, for my money, the best type of Openers out there. This is because these types of Openers are engaging, do not telegraph interest, and can lead to some really great conversations.
The best way to engage someone for the first time is by asking their opinion on something. When doing so, you are able to get them to invest their own personal thoughts and feelings into your burgeoning
conversation. And once that’s invested, they are more likely to commit themselves to the interaction.
A good Opinion Opener can be anything that does not telegraph interest, while presenting options to your target that helps to encourage them to give and expand upon their opinion. I first learned Opinion Openers from a good friend of mine, Tyler D., who learned them from one of his friends who goes by the nickname “Style.” Tyler teaches live, in field workshops where he actually takes guys out to bars and clubs and teaches them to interact with women using all types of Openers, the Opinion Opener being one of the most popular.
Structure
One thing I want to introduce with an Opinion Opener is the idea of a “Preface.” Basically, a Preface is something that goes before the Opener you are about to use that sets the stage for how your target is going to interact with you. For the Opinion opener, you almost always want to introduce it with an Intruder and a Preface. For example:
“Hey guys, I need an opinion on something…”
When you start the interaction with a Preface that requires someone to give their opinion, it engages your target and lets them know right up front what you want from them. But it also throws them off the scent of your real intentions, which may be to get a date, or a phone number, or what have you. You can even preface it even further by tailoring the Preface to your target by adding in the word “female” into it. For example:
“Hey guys, I need a female opinion on something…”
This is even more powerful because it gives a reason for approaching women to begin with, because a female opinion is needed, as opposed to an opinion any joe schmoe could give you. But this also engages your target’s femininity, which has those subtle sexual undertones we’ve talked about before.
Anyway, the structure of the Opinion Opener itself has to do with setting up a situation that has many options, listing those options, then engaging your target’s thoughts and feelings on those options.
Intruder �� Preface �� Story or Situation �� Options or Outcomes to Story or Situation �� Engagement of Target
You want to present two or three options to your target. You can do an “open ended” Opinion Opener, but you run the risk of people being too overwhelmed by the number of options that may run through
their heads. It’s always best to present your targets options from which they have to choose from. Limit your options to two or three possibilities. Any more than that and you run the risk of overwhelming your
target.
Examples

--The “80’s Dog” Opener
I got this Opener from my good friend, an author who goes by the penname Swinggcat, who wrote a
book called Real World Seduction. I have tested it out in bars, clubs, and other venues, and it works
extremely well pretty much anywhere. The Opener is as follows:
“Hey guys, I need a quick opinion about something. My friend just got two dogs, a Pug dog, and a Beagle dog. She wants to name them after an 80’s pop duo, but I can’t for the life of me think of a good one. Do you guys have any ideas?”
The game here is to keep presenting options to the group, and then disqualifying those options. The
real sneaky thing here is that there are no well-known 80’s pop duos, so this conversation can last a long time, and that allows you to segue into a deeper conversation.
Here are a few of the options you can talk to them about:
• “I was thinking Sonny and Cher would be a good one, because the Pug dog is a male and the Beagle dog is a female. But they’re 70’s, not 80’s, so that won’t work.”
• “Maybe Axel and Slash would be good, but they’re rock n’ roll hairband style, plus one of the dogs is a female, so that won’t work at all.”
• “Milli Vanilli was a thought, but those are both guy names. We need a female name. Plus, Milli doesn’t fit a Pug or a Beagle. That’s more of a Jack Russel Terrier name.”
And no matter what option your targets present you, find a way to disqualify it. Then use the times
your target’s think about names to engage them in some other respect. This can be a fun Opener to do and can really open the doors to further conversation if you play it right. If you want to find out more about Swinggcat and his Openers.

--The “Stuffed Monkey” Opener
This is an Opener I came up with when I was first starting to learn to approach any woman, anytime,
anywhere I may be. I find it’s a good, solid way of Opening women who are by themselves or in groups
at any venue you may be at. Simply approach your target and say the following:
“Hey guys, I need a quick female opinion on something. My ten year old niece has a birthday coming up, and she really likes stuffed animals. And I can’t decide whether to get her a pink stuffed monkey, or
a white stuffed tiger. She has lots of bears and stuff already, but I think she’d like a different animal.
Which one would you get her?”
Then after they answer, hit them with the question “Why?” to open up the conversation. Your target
may ask you more questions about your niece or whatnot before answering. Just tell them whatever
you want. No matter what they choose, debate them on it, saying you missed your niece’s birthday
last year so you want this to be special.
If they asked why you missed her birthday, use this to jump into an interesting story you may have
about traveling or going on vacation.

--The “Snooping Girlfriend” Opener
This Opener works well in any situation with any number of women. This is because it has to do with a relationship related problem that many women can identify with. At times I’ve seen women get into a heated debate over this one, which can be entertaining to watch. It’s a slightly longer Opener than you may be used to, but it’s a good one none the less.
“Hey guys, I need a female perspective on something. This’ll only take a minute. Is it normal for girls to snoop? Because my buddy’s girlfriend just found a shoebox he keeps hidden in a dresser drawer,
and she’s really upset about it. It’s nothing bad, just pictures of him and ex-girlfriends on vacation and
old love letters he got in high school and stuff. But for some reason his girlfriend is freaking out about this and wants him to get rid of it or she’s threatening to break up with him. Is this normal female
behavior?”
So you’ll get your target’s perspective on this, and then follow it up with this:
“Okay, there’s a second part to this story. The reason his girlfriend started snooping around was
because she was using his computer one day, and in the computer she found a CD that had all these
homemade pictures of my buddy and his ex-girlfriends having sex. I guess he was looking at them and
forgot he left the CD in the computer. But for some reason, his girlfriend isn’t upset about THAT. What upset her more was the box of love letters. Why do you think that is?”
From here, there are many places you can take the conversation. They are as follows:
--Does your target think your friend should break up with his girlfriend because she’s being unreasonable?
--Don’t girls usually keep mementos from past relationships? Why is it wrong for a guy to do the
same?
--Have they ever snooped when they were in a relationship? Don’t they think that’s a bad idea?
Those are just a few examples. You can really go anywhere with this one. Occasionally, a girl may say
“Oh, you’re talking about yourself aren’t you?” To which you will want to act all shy and say something like “Awww, you caught me. You’re so smart! Who are you? Nancy Drew?” And then continue with the
story. Don’t deny that the story is about you, because the girl probably won’t believe you anyway and you’ll look like a liar. Best just to shrug it off and forge ahead.

--The “Two” Opener
This is not really a concrete example of an “Opener,” rather a type of Opener that you can use with anything that is different but similar. Basically, it’s meant to quickly engage someone in an opinion that doesn’t require much thought, and then follow up with the question “Why?” You can use any two things you want, as long as they are similar in some way.
Here are some examples of the “Two” Opener:
• Hey, real quick, which do you think was better, Star Wars or the Empire Strikes Back? (Get Answer) Why?
• Hey, which do you prefer – Barbie or Skipper? (Get Answer)
Why?
• Hey, do you like coffee or tea better? (Get Answer) Why?
• Hey, which do you think better – Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi? (Get Answer) Why?
• Hey, what do you think is cooler to listen to – 80’s music or 90’s music? (Get Answer) Why?
These are good ones to use in low key situations such as on the street, at the bus stop, in line, in coffee
shops, bookstores, grocery stores, what have you.

--The “First Impression” Opener
Like the “Two” Opener, the “First Impression” Opener isn’t a concrete example of an Opener, rather just a type of an Opinion Opener. It’s where you have something that is unique or interesting about yourself or what you are wearing, and you ask people what their first impression of that is. For instance, one I like to use is if I’m wearing a thumb ring. I’ll walk up to my target, hold out my hand, and say:
“Hey guys, first impressions… thumb rings on a man. Looks good or no?
“Yo, guys, first impressions… men with shaved heads. What do you think?”
Another example of this type of Opinion Opener is when I bought some square tipped shoes. I’d walk
up to women and say:
“Hey guys, first impressions… square tipped shoes. Better than the regular kind? What do you think?
Usually taking something interesting that you’re wearing and getting a woman’s opinions on it is a good
way to engage them, because women love to talk about fashion.
One drawback to this is that it gives the girl the opportunity to judge you. But if you have a good story
prepared as to why you are wearing what you are and why you like it, then that negates what your target has to think of it anyway. Regardless, this is a good way to engage a girl right off the bat.
Conclusion
As you can see, Opinion Openers are quite powerful because they can quickly and easily engage any target of your choice. And they are as plentiful as Situational Openers because your opportunity to create them is only as limited as people’s ability to have an opinion on something. However, you’ll want
to stay away from controversial subjects such as religion or politics when presenting this type of Opener. Best to stay superficial and neutral for the most part.
Roleplay Opener

When you go to a movie, you see actors up on screen playing a role. It can be any role they are given – a nun, a wife, a mother, a whore, a rock star, a marine – the possibilities are endless. But many people
might not realize that you don’t have to be in a movie to play a certain role. We all have an acting streak in us, and we all play different roles in our lives. When you’re at work, you’re an employee. When you’re with your parent’s you’re their son or daughter. When you’re playing football, you’re a tight end, or any other position you may play.
But regardless of what that is, you are cast in a role. Part of using Roleplay Openers is to cast the
people you're Opening in a certain roll, a roll which has the characteristics you want them to have. The theory behind this is the person who you cast will eventually start displaying characteristics of that role you gave them. So if you cast yourself as a rockstar and your target as your groupie, you can certainly see the possibilities of this type of Opener, right?
Structure
The structure of the Roleplay Opener is one where you must set the stage for the roll you wish your target to play, and then establish roles for them and for yourself. Then illustrate how your roles will interact together.
Intruder �� Set the Stage for the Roleplaying �� Assign your Target a Role �� Assign Yourself a Role �� Give Examples of how You will Interact
There is no limit to how you can manipulate these types of Openers to make people act the way you want to. Plus, these Openers are fun and interactive. They tend to work best on groups, though they are powerful to do no matter how many people there are.
Examples

--The “Sex and the City” Opener
This is based on the HBO television show “Sex and the City.” This show is no longer on TV, but it has
become such a part of the American lexicon, and it was such a popular show among women, that I’m
convinced it will take some time for this type of Opener to become ineffective. This is how it goes:
(Walk up to a group of three or four women)”Oh my God, you guys are so Sex and the City, it’s not even funny! You are totally the Red Head, Miranda… you look sweet and innocent so you’re Charlette, you’re the leader so you’re Carrie, and you (point to target) you’re Samantha. Me, I’m Mr. Big. It’s great, when I’m not around you guys can all talk about me. Miranda here can talk about how you’re better off without me, Charlette can talk about how you should marry me, and Samantha here can spend the whole time thinking about how she can steal me away from you.”
So there are a few things to keep in mind here. First of all, you don’t want to cast your target as “Carrie,” the main character of the show. You want to cast your target as “Samantha,” because that was the character who was the most sexual and adventurous of the group. This also goes towards telegraphing disinterest because your character, Mr. Big, was Carrie’s main love interest in the show, so you disqualify yourself from your target. However, you undermine this by setting the stage that your
target wants you and is plotting to steal you away. Just be sure that you cast one of the girl’s as Carrie,
your target as Samantha, and you as Mr. Big. From here, you can do all sorts of things, like make fun of your target for being so promiscuous and trying to steal you away from your true love. If the girls disagree with your casting of their roles, roll with it, but make sure that whoever your target ends up being, they want to run off with you!

--The “Starsky and Hutch” Opener
This Opener is named after the 70’s TV show “Starsky and Hutch,” which was a buddy cop drama that was turned into a rather funny movie. It works best with a group of two women.
(Walk up to the group)”Wow, you guys are so Starsky and Hutch! (Point to Obstacle)You are so Starsky because you look like the type who does everything by the book. And you, you’re Hutch
because you’re the loose cannon who plays by her own rules. Guess who I am. Huggy Bear, of
course! It’ll be great, you guys can run around getting in adventures, and when you get in trouble, I have to come in and save the day.”
By casting yourself as Huggy Bear, you’re presenting yourself as a cool, funny, pimp (which carries all sorts of connotations to begin with!). But by casting your target as Hutch, the loose cannon, you instantly relate your target to your Pimp image rather than your obstacle whom you paint as “stuck up and prissy.” You can even go on and talk about all the adventures you guys will be getting into fighting crime and whatnot.

--The “Fan Club” Opener
This is one where you paint your target as your ultimate fan who borderlines on stalking you. This
works best for women who are by themselves, or when you’ve isolated a woman into talking to you by
herself.
You: “Hey, you like music?”
Her: “Yeah.”
You: “I’ve always wanted to be a musician. What kind of music you like?”
Her: blah, blah
You: “Yeah, me too! I’d be the most
famous <her favorite type of music> musician ever! And you, you can be the president of my fan club. It’d be great. You could follow me around asking for my autograph, tell everyone how sexy I am, and no
matter what I do, you can act like it’s the greatest thing you’ve ever seen! But the minute you start
following me to my home and asking to have my baby is the minute I have to fire you, so you better be
good and just admire me from afar.”
You can create variations of this opener to be a “movie” star or a “sports” star or what have you, but
you basically want to cast yourself as someone of immense value, and your target as someone who is
obsessed with you. It’s a fun way to instantly create interest within your target. Even if she doesn’t go along with it, it’ll set the stage for further interactions.

--The “Goldfish” Opener
This Opener works well with girls who are dancing, but not quite on the dance floor. Basically, you see
a girl and her friends gyrating off by themselves, and take the opportunity to walk up to them and say:
“You guys are so cute! You’re dancing around like little goldfish flopping out of water! Ha ha ha. Here, stand back, stand back, let me show you all how it’s done!”
And then proceed to do the Macarena, or some other lame dance. It’ll have the girls laughing and having a good time. This is a great Opener because you cast them as bad dancers and yourself as an
authority, and then you undermine that and put everyone on the same playing field in a fun way that really engages the girls. And any girl who may be offended at you making fun of the way they dance lightens up after they see you doing your lame strutting around on the dance floor.
Conclusion
Roleplay Openers can be lots of fun, as long as you keep your energy high and the tone of the interaction as being playful. These types of Openers work really well in stimulus rich environments where you have a lot of party girls looking to have fun. This is because the act of Roleplaying is quite
stimulating and can really capture someone’s imagination.
Situational Openers

The Situational Opener is one of my favorites, but it requires you to be observant and quick witted. For this reason, situational Openers can be quite difficult for some guys to pull off. Also, with Situational Openers, timing is everything. Because the Opener is dependant on the situation, if the situation
changes, your opportunity to use the Opener is gone. This is the real life equivalent to that famous Seinfeld “Well, the jerk store called, they want YOU back,” episode. If the moment is gone, there is no getting it back. But the good thing about this type of Opener is that you will always have something to play off of.
Structure
Here is the structure of a Situational Opener
Notice something in your environment ��
Comment on it One thing you want to make sure of when doing a Situational Opener is that you
comment on Something Outside of your target’s physical self. In other words, if your target has a tattoo, for example, don’t point at it and say “Oh, you have a tattoo!”
Situational Openers are meant to be context dependant, and that’s why they’re engaging. If you comment on a physical aspect of a target, chances are it won’t be engaging because it’s a constant in her reality, and she’s probably heard it referred to a million times before.
Examples
Obviously, every Situational Opener is dependant on the situation you’re in, but here are a few common ones I’ve used in the past to give you an idea of what they are and how to use them.

--The “SARS” Opener
This is an Opener you can use when someone coughs or sneezes. SARS was a deadly virus that caused a big scare in Asia a while back, but it’s funny name made it very recognizable. It’s also very simple
to use.
After a cough or a sneeze, point at the target and say:
“SARS!”
You can really use any exotic or disease with a dumb name with this one. Other variations may be “Mad Cow Disease!” or “Ebola!” or even “Stand back everyone! She may be contagious!” (which is a good follow-up to the Opener, by the way). Just be sure not to use serious diseases such as AIDS or Cancer, because your target may know someone who suffered or died from the disease. Also, be careful using the “SARS” Opener with Asian women, as it could be mistaken for being racist.

--The “Desperate Girl” Opener
This is a favorite of mine. Occasionally, you’ll get a girl who will walk up to you and ask you to do her a “favor” or ask you to “help” her in some way. This is usually because she’s lost or looking for something. Anyway, when this occurs, I like to think of her as a girl desperately looking for a man.
Her: “Can you do me a favor?”
You: “No, I will not go out with you!”
The point of this is to switch the tables and make it seem like she’s the one trying to hit on you. But the
response is so unexpected, the girl will usually laugh. Then you can follow it up with:
“Actually, you seem nice enough. I take it back, we can go out. Let’s get together at (someplace) at
(sometime).”
If she tries to tell you she has a boyfriend or get back to her original question, just respond:
“Why were you hitting on me if you didn’t want to go out?”
Obviously, there are a lot of places you can go with this.

--The “Attention Whore” Opener
If there is one thing you can count on, it’s girl’s cattiness towards other girls. A good way to Open
some girls is to engage in such cattiness with them. For instance, if you see a girl acting outrageously to court attention from other men, such as being overtly sexual or flashing her breasts, simply turn to other women who notice the same thing and say:
“Ugh! What an attention whore!”
Then proceed to gossip with the girls about how inappropriate the other girl is acting.

--The “Crash and Burn” Opener
Inevitably, you will see another man hit on a woman and “Crash and Burn.” Or in other words: Fail
Miserably. When this happens, approach his target immediately afterwards and say:
“Okay, honestly, how did he do?”
Girls love this because it gives them a chance to vent about all the lame come-ons people use on them. Not only that, but it opens the door for a conversation about what WILL work on her. This is also good
because it falsely disqualifies you as a guy who’s hitting on her, when the reality is quite the opposite.

--The “Player” Opener
This is an Opener you can use when you see a guy with more than one woman with him. The idea behind it is that this guy is a real player and needs to share the wealth, and by pointing this out, you also disqualify him from the women he’s with.
“Wow, bro. One guy and (X number of) girls? You’re making the rest of us look bad! You must be a total Player!”
Then proceed to ask the girls he’s with how big of a Player he is. No matter what they say, they’re
disqualifying the guy they’re with and giving you an opening to engage them. And the beauty is, you’re
complimenting the guy, so he can’t really get mad at you (and if he does, he looks like a tool).
Conclusion
The reality is that there is no limit to what kind of Situational Openers there are. The more you go out, the more situations you’re in, the more confident you get, the better you’ll get at spotting these opportunities.
