| Here's one that has always worked well for me. It's based around the following line: "Eh, nobody's perfect.".
For newbies or pros that want to test audiences for this NEG, try the easy route.
PUA: Do you like (insert TV show name, music artist, fashion brand, etc.)?[said with a tone like you expect her to reply yes, as if you like said thing]
HB: Yea, I love (aforementioned thing) blah blah blah
PUA: Eh, nobody's perfect.
You've established that you're witty and if you're lucky she'll try to set you up in a similar way, a definite IOI.
If you have a feeling that the girl is confident and can take a joke, go the double NEG route.
PUA: Where are you from?
HB: (insert HB's hometown)
PUA: Eh, nobody's perfect.
At this point, gauge her reaction and decide how to proceed. Almost everyone has some sense of hometown pride so you are likely to hear a response like "What's wrong with (HB's hometown)?" If not you will hear something like "Yea, thank god I got out of there when I did." Something like that... If she plays into your hand and shows some hometown pride and cats back at you a little, proceed with the double NEG.
Scenario 1: The double NEG is set up
HB: What's wrong with (HB's hometown)!?
PUA: Whoa! I was just messing around. Is she always like this? (Or any similar NEG)
You successfully double NEG'ed. Not for the timid, though, as you can be sure that a shit test will abruptly follow. Be sure that you are armed to handle it, disarm her.
Scenario 2: No hometown pride
HB: Yea, I know, thank god I got out of there when I did.
PUA: Shall reply one of two ways based on her tone.
1) If she sounds genuinely depressed about the fact that she comes from whatever city, reply in a gentle fashion and redirect. Say "I dare say... So what do you like about (town you are in)?"."How long have you been living here?" etc.
2) If she seems to have some humor about the matter you can still double NEG. Say "Thank god indeed, at least it didn't affect your (sense of fashion, etc.) too much."
I've had scenario 2 go both ways, but if you're you're careful with the second NEG it's very effective. The rest is gold, I've had a lot of luck with this one.
