Jealous Girlfriend Opener
1.15.2006
posted by Donovan at 5:20 PMI thought I would explain what the famous "Jealous Girlfriend Opener" is, and how it was created.
Neil Strauss aka Style created this opener. He wanted something to engage. To quote Mystery, the two things women love the most in this world is relationships and the unknown. David Deangelo has said that whenever you can bring up relationships in a fun and interesting way its always entertaining and engaging.
So... (This is without grounding and time constraints)
YOU: My friend is dating this new girl, and he still hangs out with his ex. His new girlfriend wants him to end it, becuase its holding on to the past. How do you feel about that?
HER: (Gives response)
YOU: Well, its a two part question. He actually has a draw of photos and letters that he has collected throughout his life, and some of those photos are with her, and some of the letters are from their relationship together. She wants him to not only get rid of them, but burn them. Do you think shes justified in saying that?
HER: (Gives response)
That's the gist of the opener, Style has said that this usually keeps them going for ages. If the group contradicts eachother then the game is on!
Enjoy!

Hey man, Thanks for linking to my blog post!
About this opener, I find that girls in clubs are too high energy to listen to me give a story at first (maybe its jsut a limiting belief)
Eitherway, this is how I'd do it:
"Hey guys, I need your opinino on something but I only have a minute.
Would you date a guy who is still friends with his ex"
Thats all!
Then I'll talk about the drawer and how the new gf wants to burn it.
Real simple opener.
I guess in A2 we can add the whole story and make it all dramatic at first.
Happy sarging
He should be considerate of the new girl's feelings. Tell her she has nothing to worry about. It's normal to be a bit insecure about his ex, but the fact that he's still friendly with her is proof that he treats girls with respect...even after a breakup.
Now if there's some sexual tension between them, it's a problem. No one would want her boyfriend around his ex if 1) the ex is slutty, 2) the ex is not a nice person, or 3) he has a moment of weakness with her. Burning or throwing away photos of his ex is something that he should decide to do. He should hide them away around his new girlfriend.
