I know what's most important is voice intonation (I'd like to read about that if you have a link) and body language and not what you say when starting a conversation but sometimes I feel the need to use an opener script. The problem is most opinion openers and other kinds of openers I've read about seem fake, unnatural, and the situations they describe are simply too hard to believe for me. For example: "Excuse me... My friends are waiting for me but... Would you date someone who is still friends with their ex? 'Cause I've got a friend who had a box full of pictures of his ex and him and when his girlfriend found it, she burned it and threatened to cut off his dick while he slept...". Bro, I imagine myself being a girl and hearing that from a random stranger, I'd immediately know that that guy just made up that story so he could catch my interest and that would be a real turn off for me (Just why the hell would he tell that story to a random stranger without any context whatsoever?). Unless you have some serious storytelling technique, I don't see that working as a good way to start a conversation. A situational opener, asking for information or just introducing yourself seems to me a lot better than making up such a ridiculous story just to open a conversation. This sort of thing makes me lose my faith in some seduction methods and feel a fool for actually spending money on them. What do you guys think?
