Generally it’s not a good idea to make a sexually suggestive comment when opening. When you see a hot woman, put that lust away so you can enjoy it later—with her! But there may be situations where such an opener is appropriate, like if the girl seems the type, you’ve had prior friendly contact with her, etc.

"That's a great outfit you're ALMOST wearing" (Strip club or bar or general)

ELEVATOR: "You know, if this elevator gets stuck, we could be trapped in here for weeks. And then I’d have to EAT you..."

"In my next life I want to come back as those pants!"

"Hi, do you know any good opening lines?"

PEZ OPENER: You walk up to a girl, tilt your head to the side and look serious, stare for a second and wait for her to give you the "What do you want" look. Crack a half smile, and pull out the Pez. "Pez?" (girl takes it) "Didn't your mom warn you about taking candy from strangers?" (Yeah...) "And it's bad for your teeth."

"You look like the kind of girl I’d want backing me up in a bar fight"

(Sabastian’s dept store pickup, Cliff’s List) We were in some lame ass store. I was walking around with bra on its hanger hanging from my shirt collar and a pair of matching panties hanging from my belt. This time I accosted the test subject. I could tell by her Abercrombie look that I would have to come in as just a jerk and work my way up to total fucking dickhead asshole. Sabastian: "How do I look?" Katie: What? Oh um, I don't know. Sabastian: "C'mon, tell me what you think, I don't have all day. Think I have a shot at being a Victoria’s Secret model?"

Shopping in office supplies: "Could I have your opinion? Which pen looks better? This one (hold it up beside face in James Bond pose like with a gun) or this BiC?" (cross arm and hold pen up by face with model pose)…"How about you just write your number here so I can see how sexy it looks while you’re writing…"

STORE: "Excuse me... what do you think?" and put on/hold up whatever you’re considering. "Would you buy these if you were me?"

(Elvis opener) "Hey, did you know that Elvis dyed his hair? He was naturally BLOND, but he thought black hair made him more striking." (blah blah) "What freaks me out about Elvis was the way the girls used to scream and cry at his concerts, they used to drown him out. You don’t see that today--maybe women are more jaded. Did you find Elvis hot? Would YOU be one of the chicks screaming at him??" (blah blah) "Young Elvis or OLD Elvis?" (blah blah) "Yeah, old Elvis was kinda scary. What singer do you find REALLY sexy today?"

Opinion openers are generally "safe". They’re indirect, and you’re not putting the woman on the spot to accept or reject you. They can be used on single targets, or group sets (including group sets that include guys). If someone has low confidence or doesn’t like the C&F approach, this is a safe way to go. They’re just ways to start up a conversation. If you’re approaching a group of girls with an opinion opener, don’t say "Hi ladies" or "Hi girls", which only sets the approach up as a man approaching a woman, with all its social boundaries. You want to get into the group as "one of the guys", so say "Hey guys!" Once you’re in conversation, THEN you can pull out the cocky & funny comments, tease her, etc.

FALSE TIME CONSTRAINTS are very effective when using opinion openers. Keep in mind that if you approach someone she may be thinking about something, not want to be approached, be on her way somewhere, etc. If you say "Hey I only have a minute but I want to get a female opinion on something", you give her the impression that the interaction won’t take too long and she’ll be less likely to blow you off because of her obligations. And if you happen to end up talking to her for half an hour, it doesn’t make you a liar. In her mind it means that you were only intending to talk for a minute or two, but you guys hit it off so well that it "just happened" like that. A well-executed contact-close should only take a couple minutes anyway, so you’re not necessarily being dishonest.

"Hey do girls really think that Colin Farrell is hot?" (better than "hi", because she actually ENJOYS giving her opinion on stupid shit like this) "See, the way I see it is that Brad Pitt’s getting a little old to be a fantasy boytoy. So Colin Farrell’s being groomed to be the new Brad Pitt. Who do girls think is hotter, Colin Farrell or Brad Pitt?" If they like Brad Pitt, say "Well the guy’s like 40 years old! That’s OLD!!! Are you saying you guys like OLD MEN?"

"Hey, my friend and I were having a discussion today and I need a female opinion. Who do you think lies more, men or women? See, I think that women lie more than men, but men are just worse at HIDING that they’re lying." (blah blah blah) "Women are people-pleasers, they don’t like to hurt people’s feelings. So they lie all the time to avoid giving people the ugly truth, and it becomes almost AUTOMATIC for them. Sometimes they don’t even realize they’re doing it." (blah blah blah). Whatever she answers, accuse her of lying about her answer/opinion! "Now see, THAT sounds totally made up. THAT sounds like a lie!" And later, when you contact close you can use call-back humor and playfully ask "Is this your REAL number, or are you LYING?" Or if she says she has a boyfriend when you go to contact-close, say "Do you REALLY have a boyfriend or are you LYING?"

Hey I can’t stick around long, but I NEED a female opinion on something: Ok, one of my friends broke up with his girlfriend 3 months ago. They were together for 2 years, but he felt it was time to go. Now the thing is, even though they were broken up, they were still doing everything they used to do together. They hung out a lot, went out together, hung around with the family, they even still slept together. Now just this week the guy went on a date with another girl, and he ended up sleeping with her. His ex-girl heard about it and now she’s EXTREMELY pissed!! Now, my question is: Do you think she has a right to be mad, since technically they were broken up?" (blah blah blah) "Well what if he thought that SHE’D slept with someone else?" (blah blah blah) "Have you ever been in a similar situation?"

Dental floss opener: "I need your opinion on something/settle something for us: Are you supposed to floss BEFORE or AFTER brushing your teeth?"

The hair colour change opener: "What would you think if I dyed my hair completely BLACK?" (blah blah) "What about blond with black highlights?" (blah blah) "Ok then…how about I keep my hair blond….but with BLACK ROOTS?" (blah blah) "Did you know Elvis was blond, but he dyed his hair black?"
