Well, I ignored the warnings given to me by everyone on the forums, and I went ahead and used a canned opener.
I used the opener about the gf who makes out with other girls on the weekends at parties on this hb 8.5 who I have a few college classes with. As soon as I ran through it she paused for like 10 seconds and was like "do you watch the pickup artist on ?".
As soon as she said that, i was shocked. My face probably went white as a sheet. I don't watch that show so I didn't know that they used that opener as an example on the show, otherwise theres NO WAY I would have tried it.
The worst part is that I had no good response to it.. I knew as soon as she asked me if I watched the show that they must have used it on there. I think I said something to the effect of "no, ive never seen it. Why is it on tonight or something?".
Then the girl kinda played along because I looked so nervous after that, but I just felt like a complete idiot. Shes like, well if youre being serious, then no i dont think its cheating.
I just kind of excused myself as quickly as I could. She and her 2 friends KNEW it was a canned opener and there was really no denying it.
Tyler mentioned it on the RSD Foundations CD too.. he said canned openers were a thing of the past. I guess I had to learn the hard way.
So guys, seriously. I know you already know this, but dont use canned openers. I made myself look like a total idiot. The worst part is that I see these girls everyday in class. Ugh.
lol peace out.
edit when I say canned, I meant an opener that was unoriginal, not something that was preplanned. Sorry for the mistake in terminology.
