The Silent Opener

So now that you have preserved as much social value as you can by not breaking any of the cardinal rules of dance floor game what’s next? The opener. The Silent Opener would probably be more accurately described as the the nonverbal opener because it relies exclusively on nonverbal cues to communicate dominance and assertiveness.

There are two forms of silent openers that my colleagues and I perform on the dance floor; ‘the bait and reel’ and ‘the pound.’

Bait and reel
The bait and reel is the simplest form of dance floor opener, in fact, it is the method you are most likely to see so-call natural performing in a club. You’ve seen it before, a totally random guy walking right up to a girl and initiating a dance without saying a single word. What seems like magic is no more than several intentional actions that project dominance and assertiveness to a players target.

• The Bait
  Described before the bait involves inciting eye contact with a target in a way which seems serendipitous. Glance slight to the left or the right of your target to try to catch a glance, once she’s bitten the bait, turn your head to her and acknowledge her glance.

• The Approach
  Smile warmly, lock eye contact and approach with purpose. Try to walk in the straightest line possible towards her. Do not smile like a creep or a kid being tickled, but instead give the impression that you’re mildly amused by her being entranced by you. The amazing thing about this is that as long as eye contact is locked before you start moving, you’ll be able to approach from any distance. Optimum is about 10 to 15 feet, but I’ve walked longer distances without eye contact being loss.

• The Initiation
  On your approach take mental note of where her hands are. Once you’re one to one and a half feet away from her, take her hand lift it up and spin her around. The entire process is so alpha she’ll be thinking more about how not to mess it up than about who you are and why she shouldn’t dance with you.

Pound and Spin
Although this move is a bit gimmicky it can be used in situations where you do not have enough social proof to do a standard approach or with very good looking girls or sets that otherwise would blow out a direct approach. In situations where my social proof has been reset or not as high as I would like for whatever reason, I use the Pound and Spin to reestablish myself. This method is especially good at breaking open dance circles of girls.

• The Approach
  Walk up to the set with high energy and confidence and move directly to your target. Lean over and ‘confide’ in a person who is not your target to ‘watch this’

• The Initiation
  Stick your fist out like you are about to give some props and make eye contact with your target. Wait expectantly for her to put two and two together. She’ll usually slowly perform the prop action without any additional goading or prompting on your part. After the prop action is taken, maintain eye contact as you hold her hand and elevate it to the ceiling. After both of your hands are above her head, spin her around and commence dancing. Like the direct approach above, the entire motion should be smooth, and when performed properly comes off as super alpha.

These two initiation openers are guaranteed to open any set 90-97 percent of the time if performed correctly. One thing I’d add is that when you are doing either you need to divorce your self from the result and simply be in the moment. Even if you got shot down moments ago clear all that from you mind and think about presenting positive energy. Personally, the only times these openers work is when I have self doubt or apprehensions about opening. When I separate myself from the end result and focus on putting a positive confident approach out there positive results follow.
