I walk past and run my blindfold opener on them, over the shoulder. The 10 listens then says, "I wasn't born yesterday. I may be young but I wasn't born yesterday!" I say excuse me, and say to my obstacle, "Is she always like this?" Then she asks, "How many girls have you used that on?" I said, "Just you all, but I see your No spring chicken." Then I made a really AFC comment. "What are you drinking anyways?" HB-"Sex on the beach." I'm stunned and shaken for what to say. I managed to say to the obstacle, "I hope your driving, have a good one!" I eject, and am mutter "FUCK" under my breath.
see the thing is, now and days EVERYTHING gets caught as a "pick up line" if you're not a typical AFC. an AFC with no game will typically ask to buy them a drink or say something like "hi my name is john".
opinion openers are generally meant to be under the radar in terms of picking up women. you need to be friendly but genuine. if you're acting alpha when you say it, sometimes you come off as too confident/cocky therefore deemed as a player or a fake. i personally don't like opinion openers all that much anymore, but then again i'm really young (20) and it works great so i do still keep them in my game, but i typically save questions for building rapport/comfort or DHVing myself.
alex_hitchens (nice name by the way, loved the movie Hitch haha) is right about the way to approach it. the way I would have done it was something like this:
HB: "I wasn't born yesterday. I may be young but I wasn't born yesterday!"
PUA: you know what, to tell you the truth i can care less what you think about me. i'm really just out here to have fun and liven things up, so far things are great. i'm just out here meeting and getting to know lots of great/interesting people. then every now and then i run into people who think that every guy is out there to get in their pants. do you think most guys who approach you are just out there to get your number/sleep with you?
HB: blah blah yea
PUA: wow, pretty conceded. that's interesting to know though. (then change the subject and maybe DHV yourself.... remember to be unaffected by any of her statements)
she might shit test you again though if you put her on the spot like that. she might say:
HB: actually i just think that you are trying to use some cheesy line to pick us up or something
(she's basically just repeating herself, so you need to pass this shit test. there's a number of ways you can do it. be cocky/funny, change the topic again, etc...)
PUA: first of all, that was a real question... you didnt have to respond if you didnt want to. secondly, i'd rather be the guy who is friendly and open to talking to people without buying them a drink. i see so many guys now and days who buy a girl a drink in hopes that she'll talk to them... but those guys get used and tossed away... it's really bad for their self-esteem don't you think?
(that whole thing is basically a DHV)
it's probably not the best way to go but I've seen some videos of mystery passing shit tests and I was amazed at the different tactics that he used. I actually got a lot of my stuff from him without thinking about it. what I like to do is basically change the subject or reframe topics to whereever I want it to go. so in that case change the topic to another question for them to answer. it's a very clever way to avoid the topic for a while. you may get more shit tests but if you pass them all you're basically in. especially if you throw in some negs and DHV yourself by being a nice guy they misunderstood from the beginning...
other things you could have said were maybe:
HB: "I bet you use this on all the girls"
PUA: *cocky/funny attitude* "yea the other day I picked up paris hilton, is it really not working for you guys? *laugh/smile*
PUA: actually you know what, it wasn't paris hilton, she's too slutty. i picked up.... hmmmmm... that girl from small ville! she's cute. do you guys watch that show?
(or maybe you could say "so i took paris hilton home to meet my parents, man was she nice. doesn't she seem like a very nice girl to take home to meet the parents? better than those innocent catholic school girls across the street, those girls are trouble *smile/laugh*")
that's another clever way to change the subject/avoid the question without lying. that's the main concept behind it. i see mystery, style, etc... do it all the time.
the real trouble i think you had was your inner game when you felt like she "put you in your place". you should try to ignore those emotions/feelings as they happen so you can come up with better things to say. you did ok by trying to change the subject (when you said "what are you drinking anyway" but you probably felt too shocked to think about what to say next, or even be prepared)
it would have been A LOT different if you were pumped up and the set was going really well... then when she says "sex on the beach" you might go into autopilot PUA mode and say something like "was that suppose to be a question? because i'm not that easy *smile*" or even as simple as "hmmm i wonder what the back story behind that drink is, i bet some creepy bartender who works at the beach was mixing drinks one day and got some random girl drunk off her ass. then you could probably guess what happened, yup... they did it! hardcore on the beach in front of everyone! that'd be crazy haha."
I'm a big fan of saying random things and making up stories that probably would never happen. sometimes it looks try hard (because the look i get on their face makes it look like i'm stupid or something haha, but i always redeem myself if that happens) other times it makes me stand out from the rest of the crowd and they really enjoy my company...
hmmm... well there's what I think. good luck. hope to see a field report #13 sometime soon =)..
