Turning a Cold Approach into a Warm Approach

Alright so I'm still dedicating my challenges to opening until I have it DOWN. I'm already good in the club and bar scene so this is more for day game/college campus. Again what I accidently found out is how great opening direct is, and for day game it's what I'll always use, but with the college campus I have to keep in mind the idea of social circle game...and I don't want to be labeled the creepy pick up guy on campus. So with that said it's all about making functional and situational openers work here!

Now I've heard of guys talking about "forcing IOIs" and I've always done this to an extent. For example if I see a girl has her arms crossed I might uncross them for her, but I want to take this idea for opening as well. So how do I do it? By establishing EC, flashing a warm smile, and then having her reciprocate that smile. Once she mirrors me and smiles, which is the natural reaction for most people, she HAS to be nice to me because she already smiled. The mind follows the body type deal. By doing that I effectively turn every cold approach into a warm approach.

The hardest part about all this is establishing the EC though, girls of extreme beauty (or who think they're high value) go out of their way to avoid EC. It's tricky but still doable.

For this challenge I approached 10 women with the aim of forcing the IOI and making it a warm approach. The result? They were friendly EVERY time. However with my crappy luck each set I opened had a legitimate time constraint. On the way to class, walking into the elevator while I was walking out, interrupts from friends before I could demonstrate enough value and personality ect ect. However they DID open nicely which was the point. Also one of the girls was a seated set which I did number close and make plans with for this saturday, was also a cute blonde which for me is the holy grail down here in latina Miami.

Since doing this I'm noticing my opening skills getting sharper and easier, still adjusting to the whole "college game" idea though. Along with day game, which I've had some experience but never mastered like club game.

I'm going to still do some more challenges for myself on opening to come, until I feel truly confident that I can open any girl, anywhere, without fail or hesitation. Getting her to smile though BEFORE you open is definately money, and if she wont make EC...well you can still always do an old fashioned cold approach. ;)

bro. like I was telling you on the phone about being slightly sexual... but you know what I realized, you told me that you weren't getting the girls to invest, right? so I was thinking about how you could force that initially. Ask the girls things like, 'tell me something interesting about yourself?' or 'what are your passions in life?' This gets them to open up and invest.
