Actually, all people on the planet needs to know, what’s higher for daygame, direct or oblique openers?
I imply, Putin needs to know, Chris Hemsworth needs to know, Yoko Ono needs to know. Yeah, everybody.
It’s an age-old debate and I’ll provide the brief reply now…
It doesn’t matter… however solely if in case you have talent.
In case you’re a beginner then I counsel beginning with the direct opener. In case you’re over your crippling AA and need to advance, then be taught oblique.
Let’s dive a little bit deeper.
Direct Openers
A direct opener is normally a praise, adopted by a press release of intent and an introduction. The commonest routine is: “Hello, I simply noticed you and thought you had been cute. I needed to meet you. I’m Tony.”
There could be a million variations of this. However the objective is to inform a lady she’s sizzling and introduce your self.
The Good thing about Direct Openers
The optimistic of the direct strategy is brevity; it’s to the purpose. There’s no bullshit and may weed out ladies who don’t discover you bodily enticing or are already in relationships.
The place an oblique strategy may mean you can slide below the radar and construct consolation and attraction earlier than you lean into flirting or give your assertion of intent, the direct strategy is straight to the purpose.
Some naysayers imagine direct solely works if you happen to’re handsome. I disagree, it solely works if you happen to BELIEVE that you just’re handsome. Whether or not you’re or not doesn’t actually matter. In case you go direct and should not George Clooney, you higher discuss like you’re.
Fortunate for us common Joe’s, ladies aren’t solely drawn to attractiveness. They’re not males, in any case.
Direct Openers Want Comply with-Up
Most guys have a 100% rejection on direct approaches as a result of they’ve no follow-up: they don’t know how one can discuss to women after the opener. They comply with up their daring strategy with “So, umm, what are you as much as as we speak? The place are you from?” The identical previous boring stuff each different boring man says.
I counsel you direct players to look at my free “Dialog Genius” course in my Skool neighborhood. Be taught what a chilly learn is, or how one can a minimum of push-pull. You already know, that stuff we name “Recreation?” An opener will not be Recreation, it’s only a technique to begin the dialog.
That’s the half most guys miss. They both don’t know the method, or they don’t imagine it exists or works. And they also find yourself getting rejected time and again, then conclude that they’re too ugly to draw ladies.
The Draw back of Direct Openers
The direct strategy is environment friendly, nevertheless, it could actually additionally trigger auto-rejection. It doesn’t give a lady time to get to know your character earlier than rejecting you. Don’t take these rejections personally.
The direct opener itself is simply tremendous if you happen to dwell in a crowded metropolis filled with single ladies. The draw back of direct openers is they will set off auto-rejection. Girls typically say, “Sorry however I’ve a boyfriend,” earlier than you’ve even accomplished your direct opener. After which most good guys simply surrender.
One other draw back is popularity administration. In case you do numerous approaching, say in the identical 4 blocks or your native mall, finally you’ll be referred to as “that man” who says the identical factor to each fairly woman. “You’re cute I needed to meet you.” SNORE.
I’ve seen it so many instances the place a dude approaches a woman who says, “Bro, you’ve hit on me with the identical line 4 instances this week.”
Oblique Openers

The oblique strategy is contextual, which means associated to the setting, or scenario.
For instance, you’re at a Taylor Swift live performance, there’s a shortie beside you, so that you lean over and yell, “Taylor Swift is sooo wizard!! I’ve all her hits on Spotify, how about you!?”
You’re not making it identified that you just’re hitting on her. You’re only a social man being social.
The Good thing about Oblique Openers
The oblique opener is extra versatile than direct. You possibly can add some creativity to your strategy. It additionally provides you believable deniability: you’re not there to hit on her, you’re only a social, extroverted sort of man.
Think about you’re on the similar cafe on daily basis and the workers right here you saying, “I simply thought you had been cute,” to each enticing girl that enters the store. It solely takes one feminist barista to publish you on TikTok and also you’re banned for all times.
Direct can be extra enjoyable for inventive males. It places the artwork into the science of seduction.
The Draw back of Oblique Openers
Most guys suck at oblique openers as a result of they don’t have their openers memorized, and so they don’t know how one can improvise.
That’s why I created a whole free course in my free neighborhood known as, “Straightforward Openers.” Nonetheless, they’re not straightforward in any respect. It requires devoted thought, research and follow.
Many guys’ concept of an oblique opener is asking instructions. I name this the bait and change. Let me present you an instance of the bait and change:
The Bait and Swap Opener
![Man approaching a woman outside on a street](https://www.absoluteability.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/approaching-1024x683.jpeg)
Man: “Hello, are you aware the place the Starbucks is?”
Lady: “Sure. Over there.”
Man: (Clueless what to do subsequent) “Oh, so… what are you as much as?”
Her: “I’m going to work.”
Man: “Oh, cool, cool. So…”
Her: “Sorry I actually need to go. Get pleasure from your Starbucks.”
Man: “Oh, I didn’t actually need to know the place Starbucks is. I assumed you had been cute.” (Bait and change).
Her: “I’ve to go.”
On this case, you could as effectively open with direct. The issue is the transition is sloppy. As a result of this man doesn’t know how one can change from the lame instructions opener to flirtation, he simply goes straight to direct. This comes throughout as very amateurish.
Conclusion

To sum this up:
The direct opener is environment friendly however may cause auto rejection. Additionally, most guys don’t know what to do after the opener as a result of their verbal recreation sucks (or they’re shitting their pants with AA).
The oblique opener enables you to get to know a woman earlier than escalating to flirtation. Nonetheless, most guys don’t know how one can improvise openers, or easily escalate to flirtation, and lose the interplay.
There is no such thing as a “greatest” technique to strategy ladies. However in my expertise, direct approaches are simpler to be taught than improvised oblique.
That’s why you need to be a part of my neighborhood on Skool and get entry to the free programs on opening and dialog.
See you in there.
