. . . You can pray they look as hot as Demi Moore in G.I. Jane.  If not, you can always hit on her BEST FRIEND.

Welcome back to the Lab where running Game is our business and business is GOOOOOOD! ! !  Where we break down the results of the previous routine that could get the coveted “STAMP OF APPROVAL” or the saddened “THUMBS DOWN UNAPPROVED”.  This past week we went for the “BEST FRIEND TEST” that came from the GAME and has been seen on the Stylelife Academy Forum.  This passed many sets back in the day, but does it still work today?  Well, that is why we test it and why we check the results.  Our testers are always the very people that make the GAME a very important role in our lives.  And these testers are: YOU!

Many guys have read the book, but how many have actually tested the same routines or openers from the book?  How many guys test the openers they hear and see?  Well, this is the place to come and do so.  Always bringing the heat and always leaving them better than you found them.

Now, grab your shower caps and find your new best friend as we post the results of the BEST FRIENDS TEST:

1. Does it work successfully?

Hands down, all the testers said it worked successfully.  5/5

2. How difficult is this routine to master?

All of the testers stated that it was very EASY to master. 5/5

3. Did you get called out on using this routine?

* One tester got called out ONCE (see Metz below). Still a good rate for not getting called out, (worked 59 out of 60 times).  All the other testers said they didn’t get called out.  5/5

4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?

Testers averaged a pretty high hook point strength on this routine.  3.5/5

5. Rapport building strength?

The testers averaged a medium Rapport Building Strength.  3/5

6. Your PUA-AFC level?

Every tester fell between AFC and PUA.  (No PUAs and no one said they were an AFC).

7. Number of times tested?

Routine was tested 60+ times.

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 … -Angelsin

“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!” -Metz

“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.” -20Spot

“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.” -Prodigy Alpha

“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!’).” -TicoRicoSuave

“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.” -Menace

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.” -drewder

“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 each other and do the test…Great for kino and it definitely creates that connection with your set.”-TicoRicoSuave

“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.” -20Spot

“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).” -angelsin

10. What shampoo did the girls use(just for fun)?

“Garnier Fructis was what 5 girls said.” -drewder

“Herbal Essence seemed to be the most popular answer. I had a girl say she uses Right Guard Body and hair.” -Prodigy Alpha

11. Did you get to see it in their shower?

“Right Guard Body and hair girl wasn’t lying…” - Prodigy Alpha

Wow.  This one MADE the PICK UP LABS STAMP of APPROVAL and Prodigy Alpha gets the secret hidden prize for answering questions 10 and 11.  I would FedEx it to him, but I will be seeing him in a few weeks at the -SOLD OUT- FALL 2009 Stylelife Academy World Conference.  It is going to be awesome seeing all of the people going and hanging out with some of the greatest guys in the community.

Come back later in the week.  We will show you how to tell the DHV of changing a flat tire with a STRAW from the bar.

Keep Framing and Gaming. . .
