Pimp-sicle - my response was a very sarcastic way of saying read the bible, threads and articles before posting the same question that has been answered here a hundred times before. It was not meant to be taken seriously, although I watched a guy get slapped for it years ago. That's where I originally heard it.
I'm pretty new here, but catch on quickly. Look at who answered your post...all relatively new guys, trying to give "serious, workable" one liners to you. You did NOT see any of the great advice givers, with hundreds of posts, entertain the post at all.
That was my only point. Read the bible and apply the principles and ideas. I personally don't believe in neg hits as openers, if at all. They ultimately don't belong in an LTR anyway. There are plenty of threads here already on cold pickups. What you say can be situational, and depends on the location. Just do a search... you'll find what you are looking for.
