Flattering openers are generally not a good idea, but they can be useful in certain situations. NEVER compliment a 9 or 10. She gets them ALL the time, and by NOT giving them, the girl will feel the LACK of attention (a self-esteem thing) and she will do things to TRY to elicit a favourable response from you (which means she is now chasing YOU).

"You’re kinda cute"

"Is it hot in/out here or is it just you?"

"You're so sexy they should rename you DAMN."

"You'd look good on my arm."

"I like your (hair, watch, etc). (Thanks). I like your ____ also. (Thanks). Come to think about it, I like a lot about you! What's your name?"

"If I looked as good as you, I'd stand in front of the mirror asking myself out all day. But I'd play hard to get since I don't want to be considered too easy…"

"What are you doing here? If I looked as good as you I’d be out in some bar getting free drinks all night!"

"Where's your paper bag?" (What??) "Your paper bag to put over your head. It's dangerous for someone like you to be out in public with all these horny people around. Don't worry, I'LL protect you!" (put arm around her protectively)

You see a good-looking girl walking down the street from a distance. Work it out so you accidentally get right in front of her and you both have to come to a screeching halt. Then, when she says, "Excuse me," or whatever, you say, "Oh, it's no problem. You would have stopped me in my tracks even if you weren't blocking my way!" For that head-on "weaving move" where people get confused and can’t get around each other: "Hey thanks for the dance!"

"You look like a classy girl...Are you friendly?"

After eye contact/AI:

"Don’t just look at me and keep walking! I’m not just a piece of meat you know! I have feelings too! Stop and talk to me…"

"Don't waste all that good eye contact! Stop and talk to me."

(you say Hi, she says Hi back but keeps moving) "Don't let a friendly HI go to waste! Stop and talk to me."

"Shall we talk or continue flirting from a distance?"

(Catching her looking) "Hi, I just couldn't help noticing you…(pause)... STARING at me!" (let sink in) "Do you always maintain such strong eye contact? Or only with guys like me that you can't help it with?"

Women’s weird styles are easy targets for cocky & funny openers/comments.

For slit skirts or pants:

"You POOR THING! Your pants/skirt is all ripped up the side/back!! You look like you were attacked by a Yorkie! Come on, we gotta get you new clothes!" (grab arm) "The Salvation Army is this way…" (Acting bitchy?) "Or maybe you need a rabies shot! Look how mean you’re getting!" (denies) "Ok, well if I see you start foaming at the mouth I’m calling an ambulance".

"I’ll bet you only shaved one leg to wear that skirt…or did you shave both legs? Prove it! Is your other leg as sexy as this one?" (Get her to let you feel/caress other leg to make sure it’s shaved)

For one-sided tank tops or one-sided long-sleeve tops:

"You POOR THING! You’re too poor to afford the FULL shirt! Do you want a dollar or something? We gotta get you a real shirt! Come on I’m taking you shopping at Wal-Mart" (grab arm)

For one-sided long-sleeve tops:

"Oh my God! Your shirt is missing a sleeve. It looks like you were taken down by a police dog!"

For Von Dutch-style trucker caps:

"Hey, I like your hat…Let me guess, you're a long-haul trucker."

For shoes:

"Those are some pretty tall shoes. You must be like what, 4 foot 7 without them?"

"Hey, those are nice shoes. (pause) Some homeless kid must be running around barefoot right now!"

For animal print clothes:

"Hey, do you know how many (leopards/tigers/etc) had to die for that (shirt/skirt/etc)?? The animal rights people will have your ass."

For a woman wearing leather skirt or high boots:

"You’re wearing a leather skirt/boots! Some POOR cow had to die so you could show off your legs!"

For accessories:

"Those are some pretty earrings. I didn’t know toy stores sold earrings like that!"

"What a cute ring (or watch or whatever)! Did you get that with the kids meal at McDonalds?"

"Wow, that’s a huge purse. You don’t have some little dog named Precious in there, do you?"

"So what’s with the big purse, are you carrying a gun in there?"

(After labor day, and she’s wearing white) "Hey, you’re not supposed to wear white after Labor Day! I’m gonna call the fashion police on you! What’s your name, I’m gonna report you right now." (if she resists) "Come on, what’s your name? You can’t run from the law, sooner or later they’ll catch you." (later) Well you better go see the fashion police anyway, you know, do the right thing and turn yourself in. Just don’t show up in bell-bottoms, you’ll get more charges laid against you."

If she has a spot or stain on her clothes:

Point it out and say "What’s the matter with you? Don’t you know how to do laundry??"

For a woman with her roots showing:

"Wow, how do you dye only the roots that dark color? That takes a lot of skill!"

For a general clothing opener (also gives you time to think of something about her clothing to bust on her about): Smile and say "Congratulations!" She’ll say "For what?" Rip on her about her clothing, like "That’s the skimpiest outfit

I’ve seen all day" or "You make more noise walking in those shoes than anyone else".

Accusing her of common guy behavior is a great approach.

(Bumps into you) "Hey WHOA...hands off the merchandise!" (pause) "You know what, you're cute, I changed my mind...just don't touch the hot spots, OK? Try to control yourself until we get to know each other a little more".

(Bumps into you and says sorry) "It’s ok. I know you were just trying to pick me up. You know, if you want to meet me all you have to do is say hi…you don’t have to physically hit me." (haha) "I mean it, that’s my WEAK arm you bumped into".

(Woman walking behind you) "Stop following me, I’m getting that stalker vibe from you!" (pause while she snaps out of her likely daydreaming) "And stop staring at my ass!" (I wasn’t looking at your ass!) "Come on, I can feel your eyes burning a hole in the back of my pants! You can take a snapshot of it for $4.99...as long as it's for your personal enjoyment. Don’t show it to all your friends."

(Woman walking behind you or standing behind you) "Hey are you staring at my ass??"

(Woman walking behind you) "Hey are you stalking me? I’m so tired of hot women following me around all day, it gets annoying."

(she says Hey, I've seen you at __________ ) "Oh, so you were checking me out then?"

(If girl's been around a while) "Are you shy or something? Because I've been standing here for around ten minutes and you still haven't said Hi to me." (blah blah) "Every time I go some place women get all shy around me, since I'm such a good-looking, sexy man...As you can see."

C&F openers with push/pull:

"You’re kinda CUTE…I think that you’ll make a NICE new GIRLFRIEND! Hey WAIT…I need a girl who can cook…you can’t?? OK, we’re broken up… Actually wait, you DO smell good…very alluring…actually WAIT!! I’m allergic to that perfume…Oh man, we are SOOOO broken up!"

(In line at fast-food restaurant) "Damn…I-AM-SICK of this fast food…do you know how to cook? No?? Ok we're broken up then, I'm going to find a woman who can cook…" (while she cracks up, talk to another chick, then come back) "OK, so you can't cook… well, what else do you have going for you??? Are you adventurous?"

"You look familiar…I know! You look like my FUTURE ex-girlfriend!" Then follow up with a push-pull routine about how she could never by your future ex girlfriend because…but maybe you’ll change your mind because…etc…

Specific street openers:

"Hey, are you good at accepting compliments from complete strangers?" (yeah) "Sweet, me too. You go first, compliment me."

Go up to a girl, start walking next to her, and say "Have you ever walked with a more sexy man?" OR "Does it upset you to be walking with such a sexy man because nobody’s looking at you and everyone’s looking at me?"

"Look at this! When you woke up this morning did you ever think you’d be walking beside/talking to such a HANDSOME man, right here on (X) street? Your day just got a lot better!"

(In rain, walk up next to her and put umbrella over both of you) "Here, have some coverage. Hey, I just saved your bad hair day from getting worse, you owe me! Give me your number." (If she balks or gives attitude—odds are she won’t give it to you so quickly—pull the umbrella away from her teasingly) "Aww look at you, getting all wet again! I’ve got the umbrella, I’m the one wearing the pants in this relationship! Be nice to me."

In rain, walking past her: "Here, have some coverage…" (walk faster than her so you start passing her by) "Aww look, you walk too slow, and now you’re getting rained on again!"

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" (to X) "Is THAT where you’re going? You have to have greater goals in life!"

Girl ignores your opener and keeps walking: "What, did my good looks really scare you away that badly?"

"I bet you think you're hot shit." (for the really hard-ass/hot bitches who ignore you)

A couple general C&F openers:

"I realize you’re probably shy because you get no attention from men whatsoever, so I decided to come over and pay attention to you"

"You’re KINDA hot. Are you friendly?"

"Hey, you're kinda cute for a short girl"

C&F openers for specific situations:

(Eating ice cream or junk food) "You really shouldn’t be eating that crap! You’ll ruin your girlish figure." (blah blah) "FROZEN YOGURT is a healthy alternative. You should be eating frozen yogurt instead…With ME."

(Girl checking makeup in the mirror) "Don't worry, it doesn't look THAT bad!"

Girl checking her cell: "Did he call yet?"

(Supermarket opener) "Hi, you're cuter than the average woman I see in the (frozen foods/breakfast cereals) section...Are you friendly?"

Tyler Durden’s Shopping/mall opener, Cliff’s List: Grab a stupid jacket off the rack, and say "Whoa, this is SWEET…I should try this on NOW...come on, check this out." Then start moving to the mirror, and hopefully she'll start to come. Then GRAB BACK another jacket, the SAME ONE that you have. So now you BOTH try on the stupid jacket, and look in the mirror as you both look THE SAME. Put your arm around her like it’s for a silly-picture, and look in the mirror together (role-playing couple). Then say "We should STEAL THESE", and watch her reaction, as you either playfully go along plotting how to do it, or she says NO. If she says "no", then GRAB HER STUFF, and PRETEND like you're running out the door with it. She'll tackle you, and then you say, "Know what?? I know a better way to make $$$. I need a RICH girl. Are you rich?" and start QUALIFYING HER.

(GYM) "Can I ask you something?" This will get the head phones off... "How is this butt-firming machine working for you?" (Even though it's obvious to you how it's working, it's still a great opener) Then, after 2 minutes of talk, say "Thanks, I'm going to get back to my workout." Finally, before you leave, walk back over to her and contact-close.

(Sitting in some fast food place and she’s about to walk by) Move out a chair with your foot, and say to the girl "There's a free chair here for you" She's resistant and asks "Oh really? Why should I sit there?" Nonchalantly reply "Well, I don't just want to get your number, I want to talk to you first."

(In a clothing store, sales girl walks up and says "Can I help you?") "Wow, this new cologne must be working... Every time I walk into a store a woman comes up to me and says Hi."

(waiting for the subway, she’s standing on the platform) "Don’t fall onto the tracks! You’ll make me late for work."

CELLULAR approach (street or terrasse) You look her in the eyes and say to your fictitious friend "Yeah, it's always the same story, girls keep ogling me…yeah…there's one in front of me, and you know what the worst is? She's shy…Yeah she's shy. She's been looking at me for X min. And she hasn't even started a conversation yet!…Ok…I mean, at least I appreciate the fact that she has a LOT of self-control; she hasn’t felt me up so far." If she doesn't laugh HERE, well damn.

Girl walking her dog:

"Your dog is sooo cute!! What’s the bitch’s name?"

"Your dog is sooo cute!! What’s his name?" (stop and check underneath dog) "Uhhhh, yeah. HIS name" or if it’s a female, "Uhhhh, I mean HER name"

If you see her saying "Hi" to 1 or 2 guys she knows, open with "You’re SUCH a player! Look at all the guys you know!"

She’s standing behind you. Look over your shoulder: "You’re trouble". (I’m not trouble) "YES you are! You look like a total bad girl! You just got out of jail, didn’t you?"

She’s digging through her purse: "It looks like you’re trying to steal from that purse. I’ll have to have you arrested/thrown out of the club."

Woman appears melancholy or depressed: Say "Sucks to be you" and wink at her. (What? Why??) Laugh and say "You look like you just lost your best friend".

Girl getting unwanted attention from obvious jerks: Roll up and link arms with her so you’re in between. "We were just going to X, right?" (yeah let’s go). While walking away: "You have some creepy friends".

You’re standing behind a girl who’s reading a newspaper or magazine. Read it over her shoulder, and as soon as she turns the page say "Hey wait, I'm not done reading that yet!" If she apologizes say "I forgive you." Wait a second then say "OKAY, you can turn the page now." Say "Do you always read magazines/crap newspapers like this? You seemed a lot more intellectual than that..."
