Hey, i'm X, how's it going?...you will need no more than that

Good advice here.

Just an opinion of mine though, I think opinion openers are perfectly fine to open with, just so long as they are ones you make up yourself and not read in the game or whatever. For example a while back a buddy of mine was telling me how some girl in his work was telling him his hair wasn't ginger it was "Moroccan sunset", so I immediately turned around to this 2-set and asked "hey guys, would you say my friends hair is ginger or Moroccan sunset?" opened perfectly well, opened another 2-set later on with the same opener.

All the opener is, is just an excuse to talk to the girl, it doesn't really matter what you open with, I've always found how you transition to be more important.

How to Hook a set:

1) Attention:
- You need to get their attention. Done by loud voice in loud clubs/bars ... not to loud in day game. Open in front of them not on the side. If they have their backs against you ... tap on their shoulders. If they are walking by ... tap on their arm. It is better to startle the girl than to get a look away ignore this weak boy look.
- You can use whatever opener you wish ... the difference is how you open. You can say, "Hi, my name is [insert name]" ... either by being loud and commanding or weak and begging ... which one do you think will work?
- Don't knock on the door ... break it the fuck down!
2) Interests:
- You need to make the girl interested or at least make it relevant for her.
- You can use cold reads or assumptions to get her interested.
- For example: "You look like you know how to party."
"You don't look like you are from here."
"You look like trouble."
"I'm assuming you are from Toronto."
- Cold reads/assumptions will get the girl interested and think to themselves, "Oh really? Why do you assume that about me?"

3) Decision: Get her to decide she likes you LOGICALLY ....
- You need to get the girl to decide to either "leave" or to accept the "man to woman" interaction.
- You can demonstrate man to woman verbally or physically or masculine eye contact or close range with each other.
- Verbally get her to make a decision that she likes by saying:
"So when did you started to like me?"
"You can go if you want. I know you are here with your friends."
"How much do you like me?"
- This will make her logically agree to like you.
- To demonstrate "man to woman" through physical or masculine eye contact or close range with each other.... is to be physical and have laser eye contact and be close with her where you come out as a sexual predator.
- REMEMBER if she is still has not left ... she is accept the "man to woman" interaction.
* If she refuses the decision to be "man to woman", but she didn't leave ... that means to go back to step 2) Interests ... and just vibe and then try step 3) Decision again.

4) Action: GETTING HER TO INVESTS IN YOU.
- Get her to comply/invest/qualify herself and chase you.
- Speak less, allow for awkward silence, speak slowly, and just maintain laser eye contact.
- You can ask qualifying/screening questions.

These 4 step can take minutes to hours ... or you can blast through it within 10 seconds O_o!

Sincerely,

Donston
