I would rephrase it myself
instead of "Can i have your opinion on something?" Which is a kind of question directed at her specifically and might come off as a slight DLV, I would use "Hey i need a female opinion on something."
You are clearly not female and therefore having a different perspective on something is a legitimate motive for asking them.
also, you are using the word "a" instead of "your" which gives the impression that it doesnt matter which female you ask, and as long as your body language is congruent, they will believe that you just happen to be asking them.
Hit the nail on the head brother, that's exactly what I was gonna post prior to readin ur post as well. Puttin it that way makes it so much less personal & indirect, and by using the term "female" ur puttin the emphasis on gender's differences which is a HUGE can of worms waitin to be opened esp. with every other chic strivin to be a fuckin pant-wearin feminist nowadays. That would open up a lot of opportunities for negs n shit.
I remember readin this identical idea for an opener in DeAngelo's DYD e-booklet. Good nuff for Dave good nuff for me. Ka boom.
