The Flimsy Pretext Opener

Waffles shares one of his opening pickup gambits,

One of the harder situations to open is a group of 4-5 or more girls. You need to open them without specifically opening them. I started this thing where I casually and sort of obviously throw my keys at them then walk over and say something like “sorry, dropped my keys” or “lost my keys” etc. By the reaction you can pretty much tell if they are fun and bubbly (and receptive) or full of snark (unreceptive) proceed accordingly. Only used it a few times but it works well and is pretty funny in the right situations.

This is funny shit. And effective. No girl with half a brain will think it isn’t a ruse to hit on her, but that’s not the point. The effectiveness of the Flimsy Pretext Opener is in what it communicates about the man: a lack of concern for the girl’s approval, which translates as a lack of desperation for her pussy.

And a lack of desperation — a calmness, self-assuredness, and self-possession — in a man is chick crack, the T&A equivalent of male desirability.

The whole pickup is a game to you, nothing to be taken so seriously, and in a girl’s mind that gets filtered into “here’s a man who has so many options with women he doesn’t sweat any one girl”. Waffles’ “conspicuously lost keys” gambit is essentially a material witness for his preselection by other women.

The other reason it works is that male creativity in and of itself is attractive to women. It’s a cue of high male smv. When you can get creative on the approach, you have set yourself apart from the battalions of betas who only know how to sheepishly sidle up and drop a breathtaking “hi, what’s your name?”.

There’s nothing wrong with saying “hi”… it beats eye-stalking the girl from across the chasm of a noisy bar…but if you want to win the zero sum game of human reproduction you’ll need heavier weaponry.

Remember too, that treating pickup as a fun game assures that your interactions with girls will be more authentic. When you’re having a blast, amusing yourself like no girl can amuse you, then flirting will feel less like a chore and more like a genuine expression of the happy womanizer inside you.

PS If the girl(s) respond with unreceptive snark, you don’t necessarily have to NEXT them. I’m of the opinion that very few sour pickup scenarios can’t be turned around with the right words and attitude. Basic rule of turning around unreceptive women: never act flustered or butthurt. “Drop” your keys near her, get poor reaction, pick up keys and say “i always drop my keys when a girl flirts with me, it’s a nervous tic”. Assume the sale, with a vittle of vulnerability game.
