Style’s video about opening direct.
Well, yeah, it is about value. That’s why guys with very strong outer game (looks/clothes) do so well at direct – the women are basically already attracted to them…or can decide instantly. That said, yes, direct is a tool, and if it works for you, use it. I do not think everyone should go direct on every approach…it is not for everyone. I teach my clients various openers, including direct and indirect.
I’ve gotten 20 or so numbers in the last week. Keeping track of them is a challenge. These numbers included 5 hired guns, 4 of which were in or around a mall. One was one of the dreaded “Dead Sea” girls (this one is an Hb9.5) who are (generally Israeli and) trained to give you mixed signals until you buy one. Yes, these girls are near impossible to game…but i had also “drive by” bantered her once about 6 months ago and she remembered me. She opened me this time. Also number closed a hired gun half my age but she wasn’t as interesting as a whole package, so I’m not calling her. Actually, the way this week is going (in a good way), I may not call any of them, and I’m fine with that.
Recently, I approached a cyclist (she had a helmet and backpack) in a supermarket. She was selecting peaches. I accused her of entering the supermarket and pretending to buy peaches to get out of the heat, and told her it would take her 2 hours to buy 2 peaches. Turned out to be an Eastern European grad student, hb8.5 or 9. When I went for the number she scanned me quickly to decide if she was interested physically and said “Yes, I’ll give you my number.”
I had a great date with a tall (undergrad) intern who I met at a department store. She was shopping for cologne for her dad for father’s day and I sprayed my wrist and had her smell it. You can also do this at Sephora and the sales woman there actually made several sample bottler up for me. Free samples made to order is better than buying samples on ebay to try. 
Try sniffing your wrist first (not that I did but it was obvious I had just sprayed it at the counter).
Some colognes that work for my body chemistry: Eternity, Ed Hardy Love & Luck, and Sexual Fresh.
Last night I got a hottie on the phone from a Social Event Thursday (and it was a great 20 minute phonecall with a date being setup)…and at one point:
Me: Do you cook. Her: “no. I like food though.”
Me: Do you bake. Her: “no.” (She thinks she is losing me.)
Me: You need to bring something to the table besides being cute. Are you good at buying dessert?
Her: “Yes. I’m good at that. I can go to Wholefoods and know what is chocolaty enough.”

Last week’s metro (train) opener.: When a cutie coughs, I say:
“Swine flu? That sounded kind of oinky.” Knack picked that one up from me and has been using it for a week.
Tonight, Lolth (a cutie, and geeks will get the name reference) called me and asked if her brother could ask me game questions. I said sure and she put him on. He asked about situational openers. I was walking up to a corner where an Cutie Latina was waiting for the light to change. There were no cars anywhere and it was a small street. I passed her and opened situational so bro could hear.
“It’s ok to cross on red if a New Yorker goes first.”
She starts to cross behind me.
“This way…if a car hits you from behind…the NY’er will get away.”
We start talking…i ask if she goes to the grad school 2 blocks away (she does) and what she is studying and told her which degree I did there several years ago. (Similar degrees). I switched her to Spanish (she was Latina) and asked where she was from and used some Spanish Banter. I’ve been to the Spanish city her dad is from…and she’ll be there next week. Told a little story about the food of the city and qualified her a bit on food. Then i realized she was at her car (this was all only a 3 block walk so went quickly…maybe 3-4 minutes) and I did all I had time for; I would have liked to SOI (Statement of Intent – tell her she is sexy orsuch) and run more identity stuff.
Moment of truth. ” Hey…you like sangria? We should get sangria when you get back.” She said yes, so I took her #.
So…Lolth’s brother got a phone demo of game beginning to end.
