View Full Version : Exciting Opener

A friend and I came up with a funny opener the other night.

The two of us would run up to a set from out of the blue. One of us would put my goofy VIA rail train hat on one of them, then motion for the whole group to squeeze together. The other one, armed with a camera then quickly takes a picture. The whole thing takes a couple seconds. Everyone who we did it to was really into it.

None of it went anywhere, though. I suck at post-opening conversation. It was hard for us to really have post opener conversation that matched that open on the exciting level. It was like, this huge bit, then... "So, do you floss before or after you brush?" I'd never use that, but you get the idea. I realized for us to best utilize such an exciting opener would be to do it, then promptly eject. You do that with enough girls in the club, then you've established yourself and any other opening should be much easier, especially if you were able to create an inside joke during that short time. "What the hell are you wearing the hat like that for? What are you a gangster bitch?" There. Now next time I want to talk to her she's Gangster Bitch, etc.

Ha. You posted a minute before my edit. Zero numbers.

To account for the unbalance, we switched positions every now and again. Plus, if you're both hyped up enough, it's pretty even anyway. For example, the hat guy has an advantage because he's putting the hat on them and grouping them together, which is a good comfortable way to open yourself to the group, and you appear as a 'director' of the whole situation. The camera guy though, soon after gains a good advatage in that often the group will surround him to look at the screen on the camera to see the picture.

It's better if your opener leads to other conversation to make it easier to transition from the opener. With your opener you are forced to make an conversation on something unrelated to the opener and it may be awkward.

For example:
TLK: Hey guys, I need a quick opinion on something. Do girls call dibs on guys?
HB14: huh?
TLK: Like, when a group of girls see an attractive guy, does the dominant one say, "hey, he's mine!"? Or is it more of an "Ooooh, let's see which one of us he talks to?"
HB14: Well yea, sometimes we call dibs or blah blah blah
TLK: hmmz

Depending on their answers you can ask which one is more dominant in the group, ask if they know what alpha means, accuse one of being really possessive, tell the one that talks most if she is always like this in public and not let anyone else talk, etc. Either way, you have outs for smooth conversation, now thats exciting!

I dunno man I just don't think it's a good opener, because it's something that a lot of guys do just what you are doing, and you'll just come off like every other creepy guy. Serioulsy man you are better off just going up to girls and asking them "Pardon me do you have any grey poupon?"

I have 2 rules at bars/clubs

1) don't buy girls drinks
2) don't take pictures of girls

Any time girls ask me if I can take their picture I always tell them I have cancer in my trigger finger and I can't do it.

Otherwise like I said you that dude that took their picture which is similar to the dude that buys them drinks.

Ditto.

Whenever a girl asks me to take a picture, I tell them I'm a horrible photographer. If they keep pestering me about it, I say "Okay, sure," take the camera, do a sexy pose, and take a picture of myself.

Usually from there, either they laugh and we start talking OR they get annoyed and bounce. Either way, fine with me.

Point taken. Actually, I did consider that to an extent, and that's why neither my friends nor I are in any of the pictures. I didn't want to make it seem like an excuse to get a picture of a girl, which would be creepy. But yes, point taken.

For some reason most of those women don't look particularly attractive. Various skin problems.

Oh, nm then.

I heard the best pickup line in Canada is "I've never been with a Canadian before."

Give me a break. I have a hard time believing you wouldn't copulate with at least some of them.

I read down to you explaining that the "hat guy" would group the girls together and have the best chance what with the kino and everything. I just figured you'd be smart enough to stay in the shot. a couple guys behind a camera taking pictures of random girls is much creepier than one of you jumping in the picture with them. plus that dude (presumably a wingman if you're switching off. equal opportunity) gets more kino and is in a better position to talk to them.

Why can't you just say an opener like "yay or nay on clown porn" instead of cheesy fucking openers. Something twisted and funny. something interesting. Not this cheezy PUA crap.

I just used that as an example. But why do we need use those cheezy lines? They're about as bad as dilect from a 1960's beach party movie.
