hey a friend of mine is complaining about having to much sex and i am getting tired of hearing about how he hates to perform on command. he and his wife have been trying to have a baby for three years now and they have had no luck. they have both been checked and she is on fertility drugs. she has yet to even carry past the first term. do you think it is time that they start thinking about adoption and how would you like to be approached about it?

i will change up the order of how i put it out there depending on the situation..... ie. my friend is trying to have a baby.........

of course this one is easy to pull off for me as one of my closest really has been trying and complains about it alot; ▶ Reply to This

Hey guys. What's the difference... between hot, and cute???

That's it. Simple and effective! Lots of different conversations can branch off it. I usually ask them which they would rather be called, or I tell them about a story when a girl walked into a room and my buddy said she was hot but I thought she was cute, etc. LOVE IT!

Best response I've gotten so far was:

HB7:*pointed to herself* Cute..... *pointed to HB8 friend* Hot.

I wanted to laugh so hard because it was true.

"Hey, do you think it's okay to break up with a girl via a text message?"

Regardless of her answer, you then say:

"Well, here's the deal. I've been seeing this girl for the last few months. Nothing serious, but I just got a message from some guy asking if I've screwed (so and so). So, obviously, I texted back asking "Who the hell is this?" Turns out, it's her live-in boyfriend."

Guaranteed in, fellas. ;); ▶ Reply to This

Worst - I am not the best looking guy here, but I am the only one talking to you

Best - I need a female take on this, I know one of my friends is cheating but I am good friends with both of them, should I say anything?; ▶ Reply to This

Regarding the opinion opener, they usually work very well. My only advice would be to drop the "I need a female opinion" part. Mystery's show is very well-known now, and a lot of women, as soon as they hear that part, will bust out something about the show or will ask you if you are a PUA. I would either go straight to the question or just say, "Quick question: I know one of my friends... etc."

And jsust FYI for ALL you guys, do NOT use the exact openers you hear on the show. "Did you see the two girls fighting outside" opener will get you busted real quick nowadays. It was great when it was new, but once it went "mainstream" it kind of ruined it for the Average Joe. Just my two cents, of course.; ▶ Reply to This

Go to Wal-Mart or wherever and get yourself one of those really nice laser pointers that's shaped kind of like a bullet. Then, and this part is optional, get one of the cheap ones that have the removable heads on them. The reason for this one is because they have changeable heads you can put on them, and I happen to like the heart-shaped one. Put the heart-shaped head on top of the GOOD laster pointer. You need a good one so it's light will reach anywhere in the room. BTW, I guess I should stipulate that obviously this works best in a club where the lighting is turned down.

Pick yourself a target, and aim the heart at her, but make sure it's somewhere where she will see it. If she doesn't respond at first, do it once or twice more and she WILL look your way and start to laugh. At this point, I usually just give a little nod of my head kind of like saying "Come here."

Never fails, she will come over to you with a smile on her face. I don't know why, but it's true. It's just one of those "chick crack" things. lol. Anyway, when she comes to you, show her the laser pointer and ask her if she knows what it is. Of course, she will probably say, "Well, yeah, it's a laser pointer."

At this point, tell her (with a wink and a sly smile), "No, it's a chick magnet. Works good, doesn't it?"

And there you go, another woman opened with a smile on her face. Enjoy.

I personally have probably a dozen little "gadgets" like this that I use that require virtually no opener at all. If you use/wear one of them, most likely they will open YOU.; ▶ Reply to This
