1. Opinion Openers
These openers have the least amount of risk. Imagine you are at a club with your friends. Approach her and ask her opinion on something. This is the easiest way to start a conversation with her. Ask her a simple question such as, “Do you think men or women lie more often?” If you are at the grocery store, you could pick up a tabloid at the checkout and say, “Do you think Lindsay Lohan should go to jail for more than 84 days next time?”
This method does not put a lot of pressure on the woman and, as you two talk, it allows time for attraction to build. Be careful not to let the conversation linger too long on the opener or you risk being cast into the friend zone.
2. Situational Openers
The situational opener is another non-threatening maneuver that can be used to attract women you don't know. It helps you appear more spontaneous because you are commenting on the environment around you. Suppose you are at the mall. You could ask a woman, “Do you know where Macy’s is? My mother’s birthday is tomorrow and I am trying to find her a gift. Actually, do you have any ideas?” At a party, you could ask her, “What do you think about the people here?” Look at the people around the room as you say this and she will do the same. This creates a shared experience and opens up a conversation. Just make your approach sound sincere.
3. Gimmicky Openers
Unlike the above openers, this technique makes you stand out from all of the other guys and it immediately gets the woman’s attention. Gimmicky openers typically involve outside sources, such as magic or props, to open up the conversation.
One thing you could do is to wear an article of clothing that captures a woman’s attention. If you are wearing a boa or interesting hat, for example, it should not be too long until she approaches you. The next thing you know, she will be close to you, touching the item. Alternatively, you could master a magic trick and try that out. This could lead to intrigue. Do not let this opener go on too long, though, or you will run the risk of appearing creepy.
4. Direct Openers
This opener requires a lot of confidence. Not every man can approach a woman and say something like, “I noticed you over there and I find you very sexy. Tell me something about yourself.” By being this direct, you quickly filter out women that are uninterested or otherwise involved. Direct openers also instantly disqualify you from the friend zone. On the other hand, they also limit the time you have to build attraction and you are compelling the woman to make a decision about you almost immediately.
5. Mixed-Set Openers
Inevitably, there will come a time where there is a group of women that you would like to meet. While this may seem daunting at first, it is actually quite easy to infiltrate the group. Ask a simple question like, “Who is your leader?” The situation should become playful when everyone points to one person. Then ask that person, “How are you qualified to be in charge?” You could also apply any magic tricks you have learned to your mixed-set opener. Alternatively, you could make friends with one person and get her to introduce you to the rest of the group.
At some point, you will need to transition from the opener to something about the two of you. How do these methods attract women? Pick Up Arist openers are either more original than most other pickup lines or they put a twist on typical conversation starters. The keys to successful PUA openers are to exude confidence, have a sense of humor and be creative. If you deliver the openers properly and have solid follow-up, you could effortlessly become part of the pickup artist community.
