I have to agree, this shit is nurture not nature. Sure, some guys are born charismatic and some guys are born so good looking they dont need to say much...but since reading The Game, by Style, I cant fucking believe that this stuff is only reaching me now. Just to think I could have had this info. years ago....

Somebody posted on here about opening at a mall by negging a chick on what shes looking at (ie. a sweater), and then picking out something totally nasty and telling her this is more her style. I field tested this at the swap meet to a HB8.5+. This is a girl I would never just walk up to in a random situation but I walked right up to her as she was looking at a hat on her in the mirror. I came up to her side and in as confident and matter-of-fact voice I could manage, said thats totally not your style, she turned and looked straight at me with a questioning glance, so I picked up the first thing in front of me which was just happened to be a ninja turtles trucker hat and held it up to her head and said, perfect!...now thats you! She laughed and made a mocking comment like "sure, I can definetly see that"....problem is, I fuckin pussed out on her second test and just laughed and bailed. I could have so closed and in retrospect she gave me the chance but I blew her test! Im still pissed because it worked so well but I wasnt ready for my next move. I will be trying this on my next chance and I will not make the same mistake. Props to the guy who posted this original opener and definetly try this one, its so casual and simple. Just be ready for her "snide but (usually) joking" reply.

It's all about Baby-steps. Way to go on making the approach nonetheless. Even experienced PUAs make mistakes like that from time to time. I remember about 6 months doing something similar because I've made enough approaches in the last year or so that things just kind of pour out before thinking about it.
