Posted in Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval on August 6th, 2009 by drewder
Hey you. Yeah you. The one reading this. You are part of the community, RIGHT? Then I guess we can be friends, too. Next thing you know, we will be on the phone from across the country talking GAME, or Stylelife stories, or even the up coming 2009 Fall Conference (get your tickets FAST, this this is selling out as we speak). Next thing you know, people are going to ask us what type of SHAMPOO we use. . . doubt it, but. . .
That is CORRECT. I am pulling out some more of the OL’ School Pick Up from THE GAME, the BEST FRIENDS TEST.
I recently watched a video about how people think that if the material/information is OLD, then it isn’t good anymore. I agreed that this message is untrue, but I started thinking about it and realized that I sometimes fall into that same mentality. Just a month or so ago, I was running other older routines and not only did I NOT get called out, but it still worked. Now, lets see if we can get girls to go crazy like those old school Herbal Essence Shampoo commercial (insert the MOANING HERE). . . Hell, ask the girls if that shampoo really makes them go crazy like that, too.
That’s right. We are going to see how friendly the ladies are these days. I want to see if you guys can even give me a REPORT on which shampoo the girls use. Let’s make this our hidden #10 QUESTION:
What shampoo the girls really do use? Did you get to see it in their shower? (This can be a hidden #11 question?)
Bring your answers back here by LATEST MONDAY, AUGUST 17th, 2009 PST and give me your break down. I will even personally send you a prize if you can answer question #11.
Keep Framing and GAMING
P.S. Again, sign up for the 2009 Fall Conference where Style and the Stylelife Coaches will help you get your GAME “UN-STUCK”. . . Attendance is STRICTLY LIMITED. I hope to see you there. Especially now that we are BEST FRIENDS (hands off my shampoo).

1. Does it work successfully? yes, with all the women, even in odd conditions: 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master? extremely easy 5/5
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? never, some girl heard it before but didn’t remember 5/5
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? funny, doesn’t get them that engaged but it’s the easiest routine to do in the beginning 3/5
5. Rapport building strength? almost none 2/5
6. Your PUA-AFC level? almost PUA
7. Number of times tested? 5
8. Any additional insight?
- the conversations can spin in all directions: ask them when did they meet, if they are good friends, tell her that good friends have at least 3 things in common and find out with them what they are => you are IN
- use a story after: the girl that asked me this question …
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):
- don’t ask about the shampoo … be creative. I ask them about their favorite color and then go into the white chamber 4 questions game (which includes what is your fav color).

I still use this and have NEVER gotten called out on it.
I’ll post the results after using it again this weekend.
Some things I like to add….
“ok, I’ll give you guys the best friends test. (pause for mystery) I’m going to ask you one question, and one question only. (pause) This is serious, your BFFness depends on this! Alright, clear your minds….”
You can neg your target by pointing at her and telling her friend “i think she might be cheating on you…she prbly has another BFF on the side. This will make an honest friend out of her….”
It works everytime!
You can really get them when you do a “psychic” test afterwards.

1. Does it work successfully? Yes
2. How difficult is this routine to master? 1/5 for very basic and easy
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? Once
4. What is the hook point strength of this
routine? 3 / 5, fairly strong.
5. Rapport building strength? 1/ 5 not much at all
6. Your PUA-AFC level? 3.5 / 5 Life is good.
7. Number of times tested? 4..I know I know, I’m slacking.
8. Any additional insight? I won’t go into detail about all the sets. Prior to this week, I used this when I first started and didn’t get called out. That was a year ago and still today, no one called me out. I mention the 1 call out because the girls thought I was just making this stuff up…they didn’t buy any of it at all. They didn’t know the origin of it or consider it a “pickup line” but they were being feisty.
Any object works, although shampoo does have a little bit of a shock effect…something like that is kinda personal to ask someone after you just met them so quickly. But laughter always follows when you finish the routine.
It crossed my mind that not once when I used it, the girls didn’t glance at each other. I have the backup plan incase they don’t, but never resorted to it…weird!
Cheers

1. Does it work successfully? Yes. I’ve only had the girls not “pass the test” once, and was still able to just keep the convo flowing with it. The one time it “didn’t work” they even started qualifying me. Great routine. 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master? Easy, very easy, learn it, love it.
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? Never been called out, never even hinted at being called out.
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? The hook point is the psychology behind the test. You must explain why the test works, and then cold read what their behaviour in answering said about the test. This has always hooked for me, always. It’s a great routine.
5. Rapport building strength? I give it medium rapport building, it’s fun, it’s interactive, but it’s not going to get you laid. It’s a great way to continue a conversation if you see the conversation in a lull, as well as open up more threads for discussion!
6. Your PUA-AFC level? Out of 10, about a 6. Great at opening/hooking, bad at closing!
7. Number of times tested? In the last two weeks I’ve used a variation of this in every set, that’s just over 10 sets. I use this in 3/4s of my openings.
8. Any additional insight?
I actually preferred when the girls “failed”. they started qualifying themselves immediately, explaining why they would have failed. It’s fun when they fail it! You must come off as natural and not forced, find out what they do, then with great energy go “oh! an ex of mine showed me this cosmo quiz a few months back, you guys have to try it, I want to see if it’s real!” Also explain it with high energy, then you can quickly move into body language observing with them on other people.
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):
I don’t use shampoo, I ask if they have ever liked each others boyfriends sexually. This gets them a little embarrassed and simply for fun to work off of.

1. Does it work successfully? Yes. 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master? Easy as Hell 5/5
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? Nope! 5/5
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? 4/5
5. Rapport building strength? 3/5
6. Your PUA-AFC level? 3/5
7. Number of times tested? 9
8. Any additional insight? If a girl ever failed I would say, “how do you two know each other?” make a link or bust on them.
I actually had one girl turn away and look at a different friend which turned out to be her big sister.
if the girl answered immediately I would keep asking her random questions and then say, “yea none of those matter I just wanted to see how much you trusted me/like me/how gullible you were, loser
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):
nah its solid
10) Herbal Essence seemed to be the most popular answer. I had a girl say she uses Right Guard Body and hair.
11) Body and hair girl wasnt lying…

1. Does it work successfully? yes 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master? not difficult at all 5/5 for easy
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? never!
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? i’ve already got the set hooked before i get into this routine but it definately buys you their attention longer. 4/5
5. Rapport building strength? chicks love cold-reading stuff. you’re definately in with this one, but you gotta add to it to continue the interaction. 4/5
6. Your PUA-AFC level? 3/5
7. Number of times tested? 20+
8. Any additional insight? it works to our advantage if you can stack with the “telepathic” vibe that you create in the set. do a quick and simple mind-reading test on them that gets them to answer the same thing at the same time. (me: “Pick a number 1 to 5 in your heads. okay, what number did she pick?” her: “well i picked 3…” other girl: “OMG so did i!”)
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any): just make it fun, banter with them, use mind-reading tests…it’s good when you form a “psychic circle” with them when performing the mind-reading test. just hold hands with eachother and do the test…great for kino and it definately creates that connection with your set.

1. Does it work successfully? Yes
2. How difficult is this routine to master? Med. Easy
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? No
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? It is either when you tell them that it is a test & they are intrigued OR when they look at each other. The strength varies from low to high, if the transition to other threads is successful, this almost always gets them interested.
5. Rapport building strength? Terrific transition into talking about friends; Currently friends & childhood friends. Also, what is important in a friend.
6. Your PUA-AFC level? 3 – 5 (intermediate)
7. Number of times tested? 8
8. Any additional insight? This is my favorite routine to use. I use it after opening the set — mostly in a “two set”. It works 9 out of 10 times. Interestingly, when it “doesn’t work” it is because the girls are kind of mundane or even boring.

1. Does it work successfully?
Yes it does. 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master? Very Easy. 5/5
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? Not at all. 5/5
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? fairly strong when delivered correctly. 3/5
5. Rapport building strength?
3/5

7. Number of times tested?
4
8. Any additional insight?
Routine is golden.
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):
Just in general, if you are going to use ANY routine, always keep your game face on. I used it once just out of my back pocket and just kind of threw it out there to see what would happen. The results kind of didn’t go the way I planned. The other 3 times were like clock work.
10. Garnier Fructis was what 5 girls said.
