and the fucked up thing is I am happy about it, now I get to rail his girlfriend!
What kind of sick asshole would say or even THINK something like that?
YOU
Well for this week at least…
Your mission, test the “Best Friend Just Died Opener” by Badboy (from The Game)
Last week we had TONS of views but not as many testers as normal. If telling chicks you had the hots for your sister was too much, this one should be easier.
Instead of coming off as a sick fuck, you now come off like an asshole!
You can thank me later

One suggestion Bravo, if you have the missions all lined up can you put the missions out on Monday and test them all week long?
I want to help out but half the time I am busy with work etc… on the weekends and don’t get a chance to test them out till later in the week.
This one looks like a walk in the park compared to last weeks (which I still haven’t had a chance to use) My free time I’ve had I’ve been on dates.

I will try this opener, but i wont say that my friend as died. I personally dont agree with lying or tempting fate.
So i might change it to something that can suit me and isnt a blatant lie.
I dont mean to be rude or diss this opener, but its not my style and respect to anyone who tries this.

Linx, it’s not lying; it’s flirting. If all else fails, tell the girl she is gullible and ask if she has ever seen WEDDING CRASHERS. Then lead into WILL FERRELL’s character about crashing funerals. Bring up how many times this has been played out in movies. The 2 that came to mind instantly were Wedding Crashers and SHOOTER (Mark Wahlberg; spoiler if you haven’t seen it). Hollywood has been playing this out for a while. . . Now it is our turn to test it in the field.
I would also/will also ask the girl if her boyfriend JUST died, would she sleep with his best friend? This will also let me know if the girl is currently single.

So…definately not my favorite, and I highly doubt I’d ever use it in the futer, but for the sake of Pickup Labs, I tested it 5x tonight. The first set was a 2 set. I paused after I told them my best friend just died and they both said “ah, I’m sorry!”. Then when I delivered the rest, one of the girls laughed and the other was like “yeah, I dunno what to tell you about that situation”. They sort’ve treated me like I was a creeper for even asking for advice. I did the best friends routine after that which they complied to, so I guess the opener still hooked. The rest of the 4x, I got great feedback (mixed responses, of course. On a mixed set with 4 girls and 1 guy, the guy told me I should f*ck my best friend’s girl to which I replied “well, that’s the guy thing to do but girls seem to know more about this sort’ve thing then us guys”).
Results:
1.
Does it work successfully? Yes, out of 5x, 4x I got good feedback.
2.
How difficult is this routine to master? 2/5 on difficulty…you really gotta play the part otherwise they think you’re playing a f*cked up joke on them.
3.
Did you get called out on using this routine? No, 2/5 on getting called out…one guy did ask me if it was a twisted joke and another set asked me if i was serious
4.
What is the hook point strength of this routine? 4/5, it hooks pretty well when delivered correctly.
5.
Rapport building strength? 3.5/5 I do get the set in an emotional state as they feel sorry for the passing of my friend but it sort’ve puts a negative vibe on the interaction.
6.
Your PUA-AFC level? 3/5
7.
Number of times tested? 5x
8.
Any additional insight/ more effective with or without FEDEX – wet panties part? All 5x I mentioned the FEDEX’d panties. It shows that the girl is REALLY into me and slightly in a deranged emotional state. I also added “Do you feel this is her grieving process?” For the most part, the overall response was that she was rebounding and/or in grievence. I found it difficult to transition my reality to a more positive state once I delivered the opener and didn’t feel it was congruent to get all chippy chirpy after. It’s like saying “My best friend just died…f*ck it! Life goes on for the rest of us. Time to party!!” But it did serve it’s purpose…opening the set.

1.
Does it work successfully? Yes everytime i used it
2.
How difficult is this routine to master? 2/5 i agree with TicoRico you have to play the part otherwise they ask if your serious alot
3.
Did you get called out on using this routine?
2/5 not really in two sets there were some skeptics but no one outright called bullsh*t or asked if it was a pick up line
4.
What is the hook point strength of this routine? 5/5 everytime it started a conversation that lasted more than 10 minutes on that topic alone
5.
Rapport building strength? 4/5 easy to call back to and gets them to really talk about situations that are normally taboo for talking with a stranger so they feel closer to you
6.
Your PUA-AFC level? 2/5
7.
Number of times tested? 9 times total of 28 people
8.
Any additional insight/ more effective with or without FEDEX – wet panties part?
I liked to say that my target sort of looks like her, id say that without the wet panties worked better i tried both 5 with 4 without and it seemed they talked about it easier without that line, entrance can be tricky you have to come in with equal energy but you must seem sad about your friend my tactic enter in confused more than anything

If you actually read more of this site you will see we have tested more than just openers.
there is also a progression we are going through
lastly, this isnt like other blogs where you can post useless and negative shit. Anymore worthless posts will be edited/deleted.
(anyone who uses CHODES needs to not think about PUA stuff so much…)
March 2nd, 2009 at 9:13 am
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY STILL TRYING TO GET THESE CHODES TO TEST OUT OPENERS, BRAVO?
YOU KNOW THAT OPENING IS THE EASIEST PART OF THE GAME ONCE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT MENTALITY.
WHY DON’T YOU TRY TO ACTUALLY HELP THESE CHODES?
March 2nd, 2009 at 10:58 am
1. yeah!
2. you have to understand the punch line to deliver it right so I would say 2/5
3. almost every set call me out saying that I’m joking 4.5/5
4. you demonstrate humor which is also a DHV so if you delivery it right it is almost sure you’re going to hook.
5. I don’t think any opener generates rapport so 1/5
6. I hate this question!!! there is a test out there to say our level???
7. for this test I only opened 1 set but in general as more than 50
8. I never tryed if the FEDEX part. anyway I think this opener should be used by ppl who are well humorous, I have one wing that when he tries he always get a “you’re a such a freak” look from the HBs.

sla whattt
yea using canned openers may be easy however this is testing not a place where we beg the coaches to show us all they know they get enough of that on the forums.
Testing isnt just for us either thats why we post how it handled its for those who are just starting out.
We have gotten routines and Bravo also said he would show us more you cant expect them to show us black belt level stuff if we cant handle testing openers that challenge us.
Last testing openers gives us a chance to work on routines that we already know or created ourselves you said it yourself opening is the easiest part so why shouldn’t we work on the hard part ourselves?
March 3rd, 2009 at 6:46 am
1. Does it work successfully?
It opens, but not in a good way. 2/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master?
Not difficult to master, but not easy to use. 2/5
3. Did you get called out on using this routine?
Nope.
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?
Never really delivered the full routine (see below). 2/5
5. Rapport building strength?
It built rapport on a bad note, which kind of killed the vibe and made me look like a twisted asshole. 2/5
6. Your PUA-AFC level?
3.5/5
7. Number of times tested?
Tested 2 times.
8. Any additional insight/ more effective with or without FEDEX – wet panties part?
Never made it completely through the opener. The first girl I opened was HB Blonde. She is finishing up her masters degree in psychology. As soon as I dropped it, she told me I needed to seek help. NOT FROM HER. I didn’t make it to the FEDex part.
The second girl I dropped it on said sorry about my best friend, but the girl is troubled and I needed to stay away. Then she started talking about how her dad had died and the set hit a pretty big low. I had to back-pedal my ass off to salvage any part of the set. I ended up chilling with her all night, but I don’t feel like it was a result of the opener itself.
All in all, I think it comes off as sick and twisted, yet also puts the set in a quick funk because they think of lost loved ones/friends/family/pets. . .
March 3rd, 2009 at 7:47 am
1. Yes it opens. 3/5
2. Very small amount of dialogue to remember but this opener hinges more on how you say it. There are countless responses that a set can give thus you need to have a multitude of contingency plans. This mixed in with the overall unpleasant nature of the opener makes it difficult to master. 5/5
3. Not in so many words but two sets did call me out. By the end of this opener everyone knows it was made up so what other conclusion can they draw but that your using a routine. It just depends if they want to keep you around or not.
4. I think there is high hook point potential for a master but for guys like me it is brutal.1/5
5. Once again in a better mans hands maybe but bad news bears for me. 1/5
6. AFC
7. Tested 7 times. 6 two sets and a mixed 3. Got bad reactions from almost every set. Never hooked into any sets with this.
8. I think this routine is proof that you can open with anything but like most material it’s not the bow it’s the Indian. This is definitely a routine that I will keep in my back pocket as a means to check my improvement. In my opinion this routine is best left to the pros and even then it should only be used when they want to show off there balls and swagger.
As for the panties part my success was so limited that I couldn’t tell If I was better one way or the other. I do think that the panties part adds to the overall vibe of the opener. If your gonna swing for the fences with an opener like this then swing for the fucking fences.

Sorry DT, I didn’t include your results. I liked the additional info you added.
To the Fences.
