Ground rules on Openers

I can give you some ‘ground rules’ on openers that I have learn over the years.

  1. The easiest way to open any person is to first establish eye contact and a genuine smile. The door is then open. Don’t take to long then.
  2. NEVER EVER interrupt a conversation. Chipping in will lose points very quickly.
  3. If its a large group of women, your chances are slim getting an opener so refer to point 1
  4. Be original. But my rule here is you have observed certain things about the girl/s so use that to open.
  5. LOOK relaxed even though you are not.
  6. Try smiling guys, this is fun
  7. Give girls their space. Look like you are passing by by turning your body in the direction you are going and when she turns to you, then you can turn towards her.
  8. NEVER ASSUME that she is available. Often girls have boyfriends an want a good time out. So don’t feel bad if you don’t get her number.
  9. Remember girls play games. Play with.
  10. Make them laugh with real humour! Take them to stand-up comedy shows if you struggle with humour.

We meet women every day at work, in public places. Just be natural, talk to as many as possible. Make comments that make people smile when you are in a lift or standing at the till. Make clean jokes in public. Here’s some more tips about openers.

  1. Women are always tense except when they are drunk ( sometimes they are tense too ) Keep this in mind.
  2. If you are so glued onto one kind of opener you might fall into a rut and only open some kinds of girls.
  3. Never compliment a girl directly the first time. Say things that make her women what you are thinking. Don’t say you have a beautiful dress on, rather say, its an interesting outfit you have. I find that a guy needs to keep his mystery. A hunter needs to keep himself hidden in order to get close to his DEER (dear)

Here’s a short and quick break-down of the core mistake that guys make when approaching women: they hover…

Men give better dating advice for women

This is no surprise for me because I’ve had the greatest response from women when they find out I’m a dating coach in South Africa. Men often do not want to ask for advice because they are afraid it makes them look weak. Anyway this is an excellent article about why women should ask their male friends for dating advice rather then their female friends (especially those who are also single/divorced)…

Women give women complicated advice about men, how to play games and trick a guy into dating them. Men give dating advice that is based on common sense and a more simplistic approach: smile, go after guys you have something in common with and don’t be hung up on how you look.

When Jakki Chrysler wants to know why a guy hasn’t called her, she does not consult her girlfriends. The 21-year-old knows they will be concerned, and would eagerly sit down to hash over the possible reasons why her love interest is not acting interested in return. But she usually opts to approach her male roommate, seeking out a perspective her female friends cannot provide.

My girlfriends will stay positive for me. They’re more likely to say don’t worry about it, he’s probably really busy,” said the currently single fashion student. Whereas my guy friend will say you should just date other people and not be hung up on it.”

The notion that men give women more honest dating advice was famously introduced in an episode of Sex and the City, in which Miranda was informed by a male friend that a guy was “just not that into you.”

The line spawned a bestselling book called He’s Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo that was then turned into a film, set for release this summer, starring Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore.

But the concept has also kick-started a subsection of the self-help industry: Dating Advice for Dames Written by Dudes.
