Escolha alinha acima. Uma frase suja na comunidade datando. Mas o fato é, longo antes de você ouviu-se sempre de Neil Strauss, Mistério, David DeAngelo, ou qualquer outro escolha acima o artista… as possibilidades são, você quiseram saber que alguns bom escolhem alinham acima.
Eu realizei que os guys do infatuation têm com escolha alinha acima este fim de semana em uma visita excedente da noite à cidade Atlantic com os oito de meus amigos da faculdade. A maioria destes guys foram fora de o jogo para por algum tempo, mas quis testar suas habilidades sociais nonetheless.
Naturalmente, a primeira coisa perguntaram-me que é a “elasticidade nós que alguns bom escolhem alinham acima.”
I started to explain to them how they’re not pick up lines, they’re openers… but I quickly realized that to an outsider, there is not really a difference.
Which got me thinking… what exactly is the difference?
I mean, I have collections of the greatest pick up lines from the greatest dating coaches around the world. And I’d be lying if I said I never used a one of these openers. I’ve probably used them all at some time or another. And often they got me the intended result.
But something struck me in Atlantic City this weekend.
I lost my friends for a bit, and while standing in line for a club, a random drunk guy leeched onto me. He kept telling me to stay with him, he’s going to get us a couple girls. I was curious to see this guy’s style. He seemed pretty confident in himself, so I just sat back and let him do his thing.
I tailed along with him for three approaches, all of which ended miserably for him. I could see from the minute he opened his mouth that the women had put their guards up. And as we walked away, I began to realize what it was: The guy had no character. Every decent looking girl to him was just another possible sale. They weren’t human beings, they were sales leads. And no one, man or woman, likes to be approached by a salesman.
With this realization, I came to finally understand, that openers, pick up lines, cat calls… are all bullshit if you’re intention isn’t honest. The minute you look at the woman as anything but another human being… you’ve already lost. Even when you occasionally win, you’ve really lost.
This is not a post recommending not using openers, it is a post reminding you that successfully opening a women up, takes more than a few good lines.
On the recommendation of one of our readers, I watched the movie The Big Kahuna. There is a scene towards the end of the movie that sums this entire philosophy up much better than I can. Listen carefully to this Danny Devito monologue, watch it a couple times, and watch it with the context of pick up lines and openers.

I think there is a difference between pick up lines and openers.
Pick up lines, as thought of by the outside community are statements that are used to instantly generate attraction, which inevitably would lead to seduction. Pick up lines don’t really have rapport or comfort in mind. Pretty much pick up line -> girl liking line and liking you -> eventual sex.
Openers are used to generate conversation. There are different kinds, varying from indirect and direct (with direct being the closest to pick up lines, but even these openers generate some type of rapport). Openers can be used to distract the group from knowing that they could potentially be picked up.
Now I personally just use my own openers to just create conversation and a fun time.
But I guess you could consider direct openers as pick up lines.
Just thinking out loud and starting some dialogue.

That’s a great clip, I’m gonna have to rent Big Kahuna. DeVito’s got some nice alpha BL going on there.
