About Guys and Their Opening Line

An "opening line" is the first comment a guy makes to the woman he approaches. Most guys work hard developing an opening line. There is great fear that they will be rejected and will be made to look like a real loser, or worse, in front of everyone there. His initial approach to a new woman is a terrorizing situation for a guy. At his deepest old brain limbic system level it is all about hunting, survival of his genes, and proving himself as a great hunter. He feels like everyone there is watching to see how good of a hunter he is. So he does a couple of things to minimize the damage to his ego if he is not accepted or is publicly chastised for daring to approach! Here is what many guys do with their opening line:
  • They try to be unique and show that they are not like all the rest of those dirty guys.

  • They try to be so clever that it impresses you intellectually and guarantees their acceptance.

  • They try to be humorous so that if their approach to you fails, it will appear to be all in fun and there is no loss and no embarrassment.

  • They try to impress you with a carefree and rude approach with an attitude that you are not really important to them. Again, nothing lost to them if you say, "Buzz-off, Buster!" (And that is what you should do to these clueless guys!)

  • Some guys try to shock you so you can't even respond. Example: "Nice shoes! Let's f...!" You should escape fast from these vulgar clueless guys!
The uncountable bad opening lines used in the past by some men attests to the fact that this is an extremely stressful situation for a guy. At this moment the woman has the power to destroy his ego and make him look like the worst kind of loser in front of all the other men and women there. Rejection in front of everyone there is what men fear most when approaching a woman in a public place.

Some women take advantage of this stressful moment for a man when he approaches them. They act resistive and indignant, putting him at greater stress and enjoying watching him fumble. Don't you be that cruel! You have great power over him, for he is terrified that you are going to reject him in view of everyone and make him look like the worst scumbag-sleazeball on Earth. Make it easy on him and you will be half way there to making a new grateful friend. The first 4 seconds are the most important in making a good lasting impression on him. Welcome him with class and charm! He will think he has found the greatest woman in the world!
