I would assume it's to do with your own preference. Being an English major, I hate redundancy and cliche. I find it much more fulfilling to say other things depending on circumstance and variable. It also shows a certain level of wit, if you can come up with something on the spot. At the same time, you just have to do what works for you. If it's getting success over and over, it's working. I'd give it more test time and more field work before believing it always works though. The same thing happens with fighters who knocked out a guy or two with something, then it fails, but they have that emotional connection with it.

I would say, overall, the best reason to change it up has to do with inner game. If you're shot down with "what works" after having connections that give you an emotional high, how are you going to react when it doesn't work? Overall, do what is working for you, but don't rest on your laurels.

Why be dependent on one opener? Build your repertoire. No single opener is versatile in every situation (bar, mall, beach, street etc). The way I see it is an opener is a tool to get you into the initial conversation. I think, for me at least, the goal is to one day not need the opener and just be able to approach and open off the cuff.

Some people say that you should come up with something clever, new and original every time you talk with a girl. This advice is from people who don't regularly talk with women. Naturals do not do this. Can you imagine if a natural, who talks with 100 women a week, tried to come up with something new and original every time he talked with a new woman? That's laughable.

Use what works. Get comfortable with it. If it works, keep using it. No opener will work 100% of the time. So if you don't repeat it, there's no way to tell how good it is.

You do not know these women. You can't be expected to get inspired on the spot for each new situation whenever you see a new attractive woman. That's a load of shit. There's nothing 'natural' about using a new opener every time you are in a new situation. There are only a handful of situations you will encounter in life, so at most, you need only handful of openers.

Canned game is ultimately bad for you. I am not totally against canned game but to me it's just a starting point, you want to develop the ability to just be a cool guy on your own without needing lines.

Secondly, don't take the advice too seriously. Yes, if you are getting laid you are doing something wrong do don't be stressed about "improving your game" all the time. But at the same time, if you always do the same thing then you won't know if perhaps switching things up a little would make things work better. Switch things up slightly from time to time and see how it feels.
