Different types of openers

[Fender]

Hey guys, need a quick opinion on something..(lol)

Apart, from the infamous "opinion opener," what other good opener types do you guys recommend me using? I could only think of the folowing atm:

The neg opener (e.g. you gotta piece of lint on your shoulder)

The compliment opener (e.g. I came over to talk to you because I noticed you had a wonderful energy)

The "hi" opener (Hi, my name is X)

Theres gotta be more ways to open a set...a little help here pls.

IMHO "Hi, my name is X" sucks.

Check out bristollair.com, they have a bunch up, if you're into PUA stuff.

"Hi my name is X" is a vibe opener

Read their vibe, and walk in obeying the situation.

Everybody's dancing, walk up dancing
Everybody's laughing, walk in laughing
Everybody's quiet, walk in quiet

Just have confidence when you open, don't be desperate for them to accept you into your frame. Be confident and approach their frame... AS THOUGH YOU'VE KNOWN THEM FOR YEARS.

Here are some i like to use...

Situation: you are with a group of friends talking, and you and a random girl make eye contact in a bar, wait until it happens again and then wave her over, put your arm around her or something and introduce her to your friends as your girlfried. Adn then make up some bull**** story about how you think she is cheating on you and that you're going to break up with her tonight.
- most girls will play along and say, "ya, i was meaning to tell you about that"
- some girls may not even come over, if you're ballsy go over an introduce you to her friends as your boyfriend
(no my material, can't reme,ber who to give credit to)

OR
"who do you think lies mre girls or guys? opener I would usually start off with "hey my friends and i were ahving a discussion over here" blah blah
(con't remember again who to give credit to)

oh ya, by the way, "hi my name is X" does suck!

Goofy Bastard are you serious, that is the lamest sh1t Ive ever heard. I cant imagine any social situation where that would work.
