What is your opinion on asking questions vs making statements when talking to a girl? Where are the pros/cons for each of them? For example:

Question: What do you do for fun?
Statement: You seem like someone that likes to go on adventures for fun

Question: What ethnicity are you?
Statement: You give off a very Nordic vibe like you're Russian

Question: What's your favorite food?
Statement: I can tell already, you're a foodie!

Which one's better/worse? What are the advantages/disadvantages or each one?

Definitely statements. With questions it is easy to get into an interview mode which is boring.

You can tell about yourself with a statement and drop DHVs in between, besides making statement is more natural to have a conversation.

They both have a certain advantage/disadvantage given the situation or person you're interacting with. There's nothing wrong with either of them. The reason why in the pu using questions is taboo is because theyre used the wrong way. Guys use them to start the conversation, to interview her thinking their conversation skills are stellar when they're really not, n they use them to just ask n not care taking a genuine interest in what she said. That's why a lot of the time in pu you hear to turn questions into statements because you're not putting any of the pressure of the convo on her. Tho these can be used in a wrong way too lol.
They're just as bad as questions if you walk up to a girl n just make a statement about her lke u know her. 'Cause tht will get a simple no n then you're already off to a bad start unless she already some wht lkes u or being polite.

You want to ask questions to either tell a story tht will end up framing you or the both of u in the interaction or make her comfortable knowing something about you tht way she's more open herself n being compliant/ answering more questions in the future. You want to ask them to relate meaning you share wht u know about the topic or bring up anything tht made u think /feel about the information tht she was compliant in sharing. You want to ask questions to tease/break rapport. This tho happens when she's invested/cares about the convo continuing more than it ending. So you have to have her invested to where she's already hooked in the conversation. Overall you want to ask questions to test her compliance/ how well she's invested/ how comfortable or attracted she is to you in order to move the interaction forwards towards something.

The thing I can say about statements is you want to use them when she's giving u information to work with ( in which you can ask questions too if you want) or make an observation about wht she's wearing, other people around u both, or the location you're at.
The most important of the two is to actually move the interaction forwards toward something without putting pressure on her tht would make her feel awkward in any way or want to end the interaction.

Statements.

Your focus should be on establishing an emotional connection.

Both will be needed, although questions are more interview like. Questions are usually used as a way to get to an exchange of statements.

There are pros and cons to everything in life, you just have to know the situations to use whats needed for the moment.

All the statements you wrote were worded a lot better than your questions were. The questions were typical and boring. Nothing interesting about them. Your statements were more interesting. Now that doesn't mean that there isn't a way to ask interesting questions.

But all in all, an exchange of statements is likely to get you further when it comes to establishing a connection than an exchange of questions. If you're conducting an interview, and exchange of questions would be better. Although in both situations, both questions and statements are needed.

Definitely statements if you are a newbie. Statements instead of questions forces you to make funny assumptions like "you're a foodie!". Being the one talking can also be very seductive if you have a lot of interesting things to say, and especially if you mirror the girl to build rapport.

Questions are a natural way to show interest in someone, but should come from genuine interest in what she said. There are also ways (give her own words back to her) that builds rapport and make HER talk, like forever! That is also seductive, and makes her feel like you've known her for a long time. However, it's all about balance and requires some experience.

Thanks for the perspectives. So to sum up the uses/purposes for both of them are different but work hand-in-hand, but you just have to calibrate it. I did try using statements more and they are really effective in building rapport and segway into flirting. As for questions, it can lead her to investing more into the interaction if you're talking too much.

Practice statements. They are better than questions. Questions in my opinion come during the qualification and comfort stage. Even here, you should be using more statements than questions to avoid an interview feel. You seem to have an understanding. I would keep practicing in field and doing trial and error. It is the best way to learn. Have fun!

I think most guys have nooo fucking problem asking enough questions... making statements is pretty powerful though.

It allows you to lead the interaction. Also demonstrates power.

You should mix it up... only a complete sociopath would only make statements and never ask a single question...

As most people say, statements.

Statements are also a great opportunity to be a little dirty and to show some humor.. Like: "You seem like an interesting girl, it wouldn't surprise me if you had a guiness record for something crazy".
(note: I have never actually said this to a girl, might do though)

The important thing for me is to simply state what I want or what is on my mind.

"I like you and I want to know you better"
"I like your dress, really accentuates your long, sexy legs"
"You have this girl-next-door look and I like it!"

If you think it, state it
If there is something, you need an actual answer to, ask it.
If your objective is to keep the fun, flirting energy in the interaction, state something about her and don't be afraid to be a little dirty and have some fun!

That's all I have to say on the subject
