In general openers aren't that important cause once you swing through the open they will completely forget what you said. But if you want an overanalysis, here's how I think about them:
- I will always prefer a situational opener over a canned one
- Openers should be as unique and calibrated to the girl as possible. So it doesn't sound like you open all girls with the same line
- I will always say ONE word, like "hey", or "excuse me", then calibrate off the girls reaction. If she gives a negative reaction, then you respond with a statement of empathy "whoa I didn't mean to scare you, haha" or "why are you looking at me like I'm about to rob you right now
"
Daygame
ratchet/egirl/scene girl archetype "hey <calibrate> i fuck with your style" or even better "hey i fuck with this california hippie thing you got going on"
business woman archetype "excuse me <calibrate> I'm liking this confident businesswoman look you have going on"
(girl walking fast) "i dig this confident walk thing you got going on here"
(girl wearing gym clothes) "I like this athletic look you're rockin"
Nightgame
(if she IOIs you) "why that look? <calibrate> you're looking at me like we met here last weekend and I ghosted you ;-)"
"damn you look like you're having the most fun here" (can be used ironically too)
"hey i like your style and wanted to come say hi"
"why do you give me Midwest vibes?"
"hey. I'm <pancake>"
