Direct openers, here in Africa produces too much of a fuckboy vibe. You got the girl thinking if this is what you do with every other girl
. This thought might give you some flakey numbers(that player guy). Whenever you contact her, that's what she feels. On the other hand, some will immediately hook. Starting playing with their hair, looking down submissively and being responsive. Anything you tell her she just says OK and gets to doing it.
Indirect opener is you using situations and things happening in the moment to get into her reality- making yourself this new attractive guy I met on the bus. It gives an impression of a movie setting as it doesn't look pick up. This is intriguing and I find that they will definitely want to see the end of the soap opera. Lol
I use indirect openers more than I use direct openers. I prefer to lure the target with plausible deniability, making her attribute our meeting to Nature just shuffling daily cards and we happen to be on the same path. This story looks intriguing and might lead to a sure close.
Direct openers. Sometimes, they just create doubts in the woman's mind about you. Though, some will be submissive and let you lead them to their fantasies but some will just find you too confident and get scared that you might hurt them, emotionally.
I guess using both openers in a calibrated manner to the scenario or setting at hand is what actually works wonders.
Cheers
