i think i'd have to agree with you on this one. i'm starting to notice a lot of guys using similar opinion openers. i'm sure girls notice it way more, but as a PUA you've gotta stick out, and a nicely worded insightful observation with a little neg is key.

couple things i've found that are total money:
-calling out on fake designer clothing/purses (google it, there're a couple key things to look for). "you know, i was about to compliment you on that handbag but im' pretty sure its a fake". if they insist it's real, back yourself up with "well you must've got ripped off b/c (cite reason)"

-bad habits, "i thought i recognized your friend over there, but then i noticed how you bite your nails when you were in that awkward looking conversation, just thought it was cute"


girls are totally obsessed about their appearance in public, commenting on it is an easy in as long as you follow it up without insulting them completely.

Its not cute its disgusting. You can stop the opener befoe the cute part and have the same effect, without condoning foul behaviour.

What a title!

yea you know what, i used similar methods before, such as:

PUA: *accidentally walked into the girls bag* "whoa, i'm sorry... that is a freakishly huge bag though. it looks big enough to carry around a midget or something?"

this was natural though, so if i think about it i wouldn't exactly say those lines... but it worked well. she was about an HB7, short asian girl but a little young for me... hopefully she was 18, POSSIBLY 17? she looked like she was in high school though, which is why i didn't want to #close her.

here's another one i used:

PUA: "tell me why you look like one of those Hollister mannequins" (she was at work). "are they paying you in clothes instead of cash? i think you're getting ripped off"

very cute white girl... worked well.

also i agree with Curse, you shouldn't exactly encourage her biting her nails... just keep the neg as is and don't try to apologize or redeem yourself if you feel like you're being rude... unless she deserves it (sends you IOIs). remember that you're just being yourself, which is a generally open/honest/fun guy...
