As I mentioned in my last thread, here were a few openers that I've used that have worked VERY well. I'm not sure if they originate from anywhere else.
FIRST:
Me: "Excuse me...but, out of curiosity, can you cook?"
Woman: "
Some things..." (I have not the
slightest idea why women say this...)
Me: "Well; I've been having a problem deciding what I want to eat for dinner. I'm trying to eat healthy, but have no idea of what to eat. What do you think?"
Her: "What are you in the mood for?"
Me: "Surprise me

"
She'll usually give a few suggestions. Easy enough to branch off to other conversations...
I did this on a VERY HOT Puerto Rican woman and another HOT Latina woman, to much success (though no closes on either situation). I kind of did this on a woman where the convo wasn't going so well, and it worked out really well.
SECOND:
Lots of women in New York tend to show the MEANEST faces...If you look at them, it looks like they've got something totally bugging them. So on one woman, I opened with this:
Me: "You look SO serious, like you're on a mission or something. Are you?"
Woman: Smiled and laughed a little bit. "No..."

In this case, she had sunglasses on, so I decided to play around a little bit.
Me: "Must be tough reading stuff with those shades. Can I try them?" (hands her my glasses...she handed me her shades)
Me: "So what do you think? Do they match me?"
Her: "Yeah..sort of!"
Me: "Do you think I look like Kanye West? Everyone says I do..." (seriously)
Her: Laughs a bit.."Yeah, kind of!"
Me: "I HATE you!! Everyone says that...and I never get it! I don't want to look like a guy with no talent!"
Then we talked about our jobs. She asked me what I did, to which I responded "Drug dealer." (I sort of am, but it's of the good kind. I work in pharmaceuticals

)
No close; she had to get out at station stop.
Feedback?
