Sixty:
I’m not opening. I’m screening her. Sure, you are being social, but in reality you are going around screening for cool, attractive women that like to smile and are up for adventure. You opened her but you are really just screening her.
opening to me is a screening process where you weed out uninterested girls. Not a judgment on how good you are at seducing women
Shut up. The person talking is the one who is qualifying. Just by listening you are qualifying her. Qualification is attractive
[This is where the terminology seems a little mixed up. Sixty says the person talking is qualifying, then also that the silent listener is qualifying her. I would say the listener is the one screening while the speaker is qualifying TO you. Then your approval is qualifying HER.]
Poker Face
The most interesting man in the world is a good listener.
I finally figured out the best way to listen that will have women constantly trying to qualify themselves to you. This is the holy grail of seduction. The one and only move you need

[Note he terms "screen" as the challenge and "qualifier" as the reward]
It's important that the frame you convey in those assumptions is one where she wants you, she is chasing after you, you are the one with higher value, you are the one who decides if you want continue with her, and you are screening her to make sure she qualifies for you
Screening
The idea is to get her hoping that she's good enough to qualify for you. After all, you are a high-value guy. Sure, you're curious about her, but you want to know more. Is she smart?
"Is there more to you than meets the
eye?"
So how can you convey to her that she is being screened." By asking screening questions, by giving IOIs and IODs at the right moments, and by actually having real standards about the kind of people you spend your time with.
Qualifiers
Periodically the time comes to let a girl know she is qualifying for you. She has to feel like she is winning you over, otherwise she will get discouraged.
Notice that each of these qualifiers has an optional disqualifier
"You are SO adorable...-> it's sickening"
"OMG you're a dancer? That is so awesome.-> I can't even talk to you right now"
Franco's manual:
The important meaning of qualification
This is already a very advanced chapter and if you learn the art of qualification you’ll become a very effective seducer and your successes will increase exponentially. To qualify means to give to another person negative, positive or neutral attributes.
For example: “You are a boring girl” is a negative qualification. “You are a wonderful woman” is a positive qualification. “You are the one who is driving today” is a neutral qualification.
To qualify oneself to someone means to present oneself with negative (disqualification), positive or neutral attributes. “I am an interesting guy” means to qualify oneself to someone. “I am a too much of a bad a guy for a girl like you” means to disqualify oneself to someone.
To make others qualify means giving to someone the possibility of qualifying you in a positive, negative or neutral way
[This whole chapter is great reading. He also discusses completely rejecting the context when a woman tries to get you to qualify to her.]
[His book "Getting the Good Girls" has much more on screening when looking for a relationship, primarily through talking about emotions.]
In this method you will do nothing to put her down. This will screen out the adventuresses of the LSE type early on. They mistake very often an abusive guy for being a self-confident guy and without a certain amount of "abuse" from your part they will not be interested in you. It will also screen out the adventuresses with a good self-esteem because they will find you boring and tell you they just want to be friends
