Opinion Openers

The main purpose of the opener is to get her attention and raise her interest in a chat. It is not a time to hit on her. It is not a time to introduce yourself. It is not a time to compliment her or spend money on her.
Although there are many different kinds of effective openers, the Mystery Method tends to focus on indirect openers.
One form of indirect opener is the opinion opener, credited to Style. Possibly the most commonly used form of opener; it is easy and effective. Without further ado, here is the most popular opinion opener of all time:

The Jealous Girlfriend Opener
by Style

"Hey guys, we're doing a poll...Would you date someone that's still friends with his ex-girlfriend?"
—(Girls talk for a bit, then you cut them off.)
"Ok I've only got a minute...actually this is a two-part question....My friend Dave has been dating this girl for a couple months, but he's still friends with his girlfriend from college. What do you guys think about that?"
—(Girls ask how close they still are, then you cut them off.)
"Well he still talks to her on the phone, and he's still got this shoebox with letters.. .pictures.. .what do you guys think about that?"
---(Girls talk for a bit, then you cut them off.)
"Well get this, she told him that he needs to stop talking to the girl, and he needs to burn the box.."
----(Girls talk excitedly about topic.)
"Oh my god, listen to you guys, this is just like watching The View." —(Transition into your next routine.)
