We're I live (Western Canada) I hardly ever neg most women these days want authenticity and genuine interest/compliments, so long as you aren't generic. There are so many guys putting on acts that women who are being approached can see through it if you can mix being authentic with being bold and interesting you'll stand out more than anyone running lines.

The year doesn't matter because nothing has changed in decades. If you read Eric Weber’s book "How to Pick Up Girls" from 1970, you’ll see indirect, situational or direct openers, basically, the same ones used 50 years ago are still being used today.

Are you doing day game or night game?
Are you approaching groups or single women?

If you are doing nightgame and approaching groups, you can still do a false time constraint, and ask opinion whilst body rocking.

But personally, I would not see the need to. ONLY if you are totally frozen with anxiety, do you really need an opener "in the can".

Probably easier to make an observation or comment. I still find false time constraints useful though to chuck in every now and then.

And for the love of god, if you are already getting IOIs, just go direct.

Just my two cents

The Cheers opener is the easiest, most rejection-proof night game opener there is. Eye contact, raise your glass, say cheers, give your name. Nobody rejects a cheers because everyone already understands it. That's just normal bar behavior.

If you get higher than 50% rejection rate from saying Cheers, then that means you have something significantly off with your nonverbals you need to fix right away.

Can i use mistery method openners?

funny enough, when the book came out, the issue was that every girl would say 'yeah, i've heard this before!' when a guy opened with 'who lies more, men or women?' or ran streawberry fields on her or used a neg off the open. Tyler said that's when he made RSD and took a new direction on 'game' as a whole

However, all of them girls would be way out of the game by now. You'll be hitting on their daughters who would never have heard of them so no worry of being found out lol

Hey, you may not remember me, but we met last night... In your/my dream.. (still not sure which works better yet) This is said tongue firmly in cheek, almost as a meta pickup.

I think it all depends on your style and vibe.

I'm pretty masculine, and often get mistaken for someone to be taken seriously. So I lean into my weirdness and silliness.

Is has a low hit rate, but when it hits, its highly successful 🙂
