PUA: Hey guys, we’re having a debate and need a quick opinion on something. If a guy is dating a girl, and she goes out to a bar with her friends one night and makes out with a guy just for fun, is it cheating?

GROUP: Yeah, it’s cheating.

PUA: Okay, that makes sense. So here’s the real question. And I’ll tell you why I’m asking in a second: If she goes out and gets drunk and makes out with a GIRL for fun, is it cheating?

GROUP: (the responses will vary, but if any guys say “no,” you can bust on them for having a double-standard etc.)

PUA: Okay. Interesting. The reason I’m asking is because my friend over there has been dating this girl. And she likes to go out and get drunk and make out with girls. Now, some guys might be into that, but it pisses him off and he thinks it’s cheating. She says it isn’t. So we were trying to figure out who was right.

GROUP: (discussion ensues, which you will have to soon cut off and move into your next piece of material because they will go on and on about this and stale the topic and conversation) Enjoy. It’s a nice change of pace for those who love Jealous Girlfriend but are tired of it.Report back on your results.

When to use it

Best in the evening at a bar, party or club with a group of two to four women who are relaxed and have a drink in hand. A group debate needs some energy, so skip it for a woman who is alone and reading. It is also a poor choice if someone in the group looks like she is dealing with a real breakup.

Follow-up

Take a side in a friendly way and tease the answers, not the people: "So the rules change when it's a girl. Interesting." After a minute or two, take the lead and move on before the topic gets stale: "Anyway, I'm Sam. Which of you is the troublemaker?" If they ask about your friend, admit with a smile that it was a good way to start a conversation.

Why it works

Opinion questions are easy to answer, and nobody has to be interested in you to join in. A group debate gets everyone talking and shows you who is most outgoing. The story about a friend gives you a harmless reason to ask. For another story-based opener, see the Spells Opener.
