I'm confused with this. First off, is it completely necessary to get HB to qualify herself or do PUA's just take note when she does? Kinda like taking it as an IOI or something. I'm thinking its not completely necessary if you show higher value.

And secondly how do you get HB to qualify herself? Through negs, push-pull, and DHV, right? Is there anything else?

Well if I can get to the isolation/build comfort stage with an HB, I'll generally say something like this.

Me: "your obviously good looking and all but who cares, what else is so great about you that I should even bother getting to know you better?
Tell me at least 3 things that would interest me."

HB: "I go school at blah blah blah, I do blah blah, plus i also blah blah blah

See, it doesn't matter what she's saying. what really matters is that she is now trying to impress me.(instead of the other way around) If you can get her to fight for your approval you should be able to # or K close.
