Suppose you see a girl (I'm thinking mainly daygame here) and you use an opener (maybe as part of a short conversation) that can be broken down into 3 parts:

1 Some sort of qualifier...

"I don't usually do this but..." or "Hey, I just have to say it..."

2 The compliment...

"I think you're sexy as hell..." or "You look really hot.... "

3 The close line...

"How 'bout giving me your number (pulls out phone) and we can get together at Starbucks/whatever..."

OK, the first and third parts are obvious. But what do you red pilled guys think about the 2nd part which involves a compliment? I've seen this done on a few PUA youtube videos, and it's a valid tactic used there. But is it giving her too much validation? Or as long as it's being said from a position of strength (your SMV is good thanks to lifting, success, frame, and confident voice) it's perfectly OK.

What do you guys think?
