SHOCK and AWE: The Apocalypse Opener
Chat up lines don't work. That's the main problem with them.
I mean, we all know this. If there was a simple line you could just spiel out and get a girl, the community wouldn't be as big as it is.
The fact is, getting a girl isn't really about what you say. It's about what you DEMONSTRATE and what you PROJECT.
HOWEVER...
What if there WAS a chat up line that did work? What if there was a chat up line that led to an instant makeout? What then?
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
What I am about to share with you is some potent ****ing ****.
Do you understand?
Good.
When I showed this to Jeffy, he took one look at it, then nodded, and said "That's some potent ****ing ****."
My point is this.
If you cannot handle doing Shock and Awe, you are not ready for this **** yet.
This is NOT a magic pill.
If you are a broken ****ing value taking Gollum-like chode who wants to 'get one over' on women and life, who wants to seek petty vengeance for the myriad grudges that you nurse on a daily basis to justify the uselessness of your pathetic existence... this will not work.
How do I know this?
Because I've been that chode.
Get your inner game sorted.
I recommend the work of Eckhart Tolle.
So with no further ado, gents, here we go. I hope you're sitting comfortably.
THE BEST CHAT UP LINE I EVER HEARD
About 18 months ago I was in the smoking area of a pub on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. It's very picturesque. There's a castle and everything. Anyway, this time I'm out with just ONE girl. She's a good friend of mine, and for matters of convenience and privacy, we shall call her Susan.
So me and Susan are chatting away, and the subject wanders on to chat-up lines. I asked her what the worst chat-up line she ever heard was and she gave me some chodely horror-story of unimaginable lameness.
Then I asked her
"So... what's the best chat up line you've ever heard?"
Susan considered this for a while, and then said this:
"Ok, this one guy had a great one a while back. It worked on me."
"What do you mean, it worked on you?"
"It worked. I banged him."
"Nice. You're very ladylike."
Susan smiled politely.
"So what was it?" I asked.
THE APOCALYPSE OPENER...
"Well," she said, "it goes like this...
What she then told me made me literally choke on my beer. It was genius. I will never know who this man is, but whoever he is he deserves a prize. A big, shiny Nobel prize.
Here it is, lads:
You rock up to a chick and, in a confident, level voice you say
"Hey, how's it going."
She will say
"Fine."
You then say
"Cool. What are you doing later?"
She will say
"I'm not sure."
You then say
"Do you want to come home with me?"
Then you hold.
Hold.
HOLD....................
HOLD IT MY SON..........................
HOLD THE ****ING LINE..................
Boom. Makeout.
And that's the Apocalypse opener. You don't 'build rapport.' You don't 'elicit values.' You don't 'kino escalate.' You don't even ask her ****ing NAME. You ask if she wants to sleep with you in the THIRD SENTENCE, hold the line, and reap the whirlwind.
CIARAN, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
Nope. It is and remains the most amazingly powerful chat up line I've ever seen in my life. I realise that you're all just shaking your heads with a million problems that you can see with doing this, so let's go through this step-by-step.
DOES IT WORK?
Well, let me tell you a story.
After hearing this, I resolved to give it a go. I went out to a bar that night, and walked about the place.
Now, at this point I wasn't by any means a Jedi, but I wasn't ****. I could consistently open, I could flirt, I could get the occasional makeout. What I'm saying is that I'd gotten to a point where I could approach without that much anxiety.
Dude, I was ****ting my pants. Mother of God, man. Looking at all these beautiful women, just the thought of going up to one of them and coming OUT with this **** was terrifying. I sank pint after pint of booze. I walked around some more. I drank more booze. I lurked in the corner for a while. I was still ****ting my pants without a SINGLE approach when the bouncers started herding people out the door.
****. I'd missed my chance.
No. No, no, no. No way. Not me. Not now. I was going to do this. If I crashed out, if I messed up, whatever - I'd take the pain. I was going to say this. Honestly, it felt like my VERY FIRST APPROACH all over again. I was really, really scared.
I walked out of the bar into the milling crowd. **** it. I'm going to do this. Someone. Anyone.
And there she was. Delicate, like a fairy almost. Red hair, really rich and deep red, and a quirky dress that melted my heart.
****.
****itty **** ****. We're going in.
Ok, Ciaran. Concentrate on getting the first line out. That's not so bad.
"Hey" I blurt.
"Hey." She's even prettier close up. DO IT, CIARAN. DO IT!!
"How's it going?"
"Not bad."
"What are you up to later?"
"Not sure."
DO IT MAN!! EYE OF THE TIGER!!
"Do you want to come home with me?
She looks at me. She's gauging. I've never felt attention this intense. It's like a laserbeam scorching me for any signs of incongruence. Luckily enough, she's hot, so there aren't any. The urge to say something, to break the tension is PALPABLE. I CLAMP my jaw tight shut to silence myself.
She sways backward, stunned. Then she jumps me. Physically lunges forward and puts her tongue in my mouth.
BAM.
Incidentally, there was a guy there - a very strong natural - who had been hitting on her all evening, and had got her to agree to come back to his (I found this all out later). Didn't matter. Blew him the **** away with this ONE SENTENCE.
This girl wasn't a slut. She wasn't a freak. She was a cool, normal chick.
She was hot too. Really hot.
Nice.
TREMBLE BEFORE THE COMING APOCALYPSE
So why does this work? Is it magic?
Well actually, there's no magic here. It's all really simple, and rests on EXACTLY the reason I gave at the start of the article for why chat-up lines don't work.
It's not about what you say.
It's about what you DEMONSTRATE and what you PROJECT.
Let's go back to that sunny afternoon on Edinburgh. I'm in the smoking area, talking to Susan.
So anyway, I finish choking on my beer.
"What? He said what?"
"Do you want to come home with me."
And what did you do?
"Well, I didn't jump him straight away, but I was just really impressed that he had the balls to come out with something like that."
"Yeah. Wow, that certainly is an impressive introduction."
"Damn straight. After that all he needed to do was just maybe buy me a drink or something and I was his."
"Cool."
"Yup."
So let's look at this, straight from the horses' mouth. So to speak.
She was REALLY IMPRESSED that he had the BALLS to COME OUT with something like that.
REALLY IMPRESSED
The power of this opener is massive. It lies in the fact that it is HONEST. It is genuine to the turbo-max.
All of my 'game' is based around this principal. Be genuine, but be genuine times 1000. Don't just 'be yourself', ****ing BE yourself. Be yourself to the mother****ing HILT.
Do you understand?
She will NEVER HAVE HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
If you do this, a girl will be really impressed that you DEMONSTRATE the courage to say this. And believe me, you cannot fake it. This **** takes balls.
BALLS
I'm not going to lie to you. It is SCARY doing the Apocalypse Opener.
But that's good. That's WHY it works.
Because it is genuinely scary, it is INCREDIBLY impressive. But you need the balls to come out with it.
COME OUT WITH IT
At the same time, your delivery itself - and here's the crazy thing - is actually NOT THAT IMPORTANT.
I know. Nuts.
The truth is, the first time I said this I was SCARED. Really, really scared.
It still worked.
It's so powerful. You don't need to be amazing, and you don't need the inner game of the Fonz to attempt this. I didn't have much inner game at all when I started reeling it out.
All you need to do is NOT CRUMBLE.
That is all. Just come out with it, then don't crumble.
THE KEY TO MAKING IT WORK
The key to making it work is not how you say it, but what you do in the 30 seconds after it's left your mouth.
Before I talk specifics, let's state the single CARDINAL SIN of the Apocalypse, which is the ONLY THING that can blow you out.
NEVER BE WEIRD
That's it. Don't be weird. You have to deliver the opener deadpan. Like you are talking about the WEATHER. You are not making a BIG THING of it. You're just ASKING.
You are not MOCKING. You are not JOKING. You are not TOO SERIOUS.
It is NOT PLAYFUL however - it is REAL.
You are REALLY ASKING HER.
If she says no - you only need ONE COMEBACK.
It is this:
"Ok."
Then you strike up a 'normal' conversation about the colour of the wallpaper, or the music that's playing, or the fact that you did your laundry earlier today.
Whatever.
HOW DO I KNOW IF IT'S WORKED?
You will know because you will see two things in that girl's eyes.
Shock, mother****er. SHOCK and AWE.
If she looks shocked, you've got her. If she looks stunned, she's yours. If she takes it in her stride, she's the coolest cucumber in the world, and you should probably marry her. Extremely fast.
