Openers "Lifting heavy, huh?"

[ulrich]

This is a situational opener I have been experimenting with in my gym with pretty good results.

The catch is that you need some proximity.

So when you see a girl you like training in the gym, what you have to do is start using a machine/bench that is close to hers and wait for her to drop the weight or moan, then you say: "Lifting heavy, huh?".

The girl usually replies saying it's too exhausting or that she feels she should be using a heavier weight but she is afraid. From there you can compliment or encourage her.

So far, it has worked better than any direct opener I have used because it puts almost no stress on the interaction.

The only times I have seen it fall flat is when the girl is using headphones (probably to concentrate deeply so no one talks to her).

You can point to the chicks to put down the headphones. I have done it a lot of times. I too use proximity and then pounce, but usually with a cheesy joke.

Great idea!!
