Posted in Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval on August 20th, 2009 by drewder
Welcome back to another great week in Game-land. While other people are out snorting pixie sticks till their candy corns are destroyed from 5th Avenue, and they can’t use their Zagnuts till PAYDAY, we here at PICK UP LABS might be able to set you up with another fun Opener for the week so you can put that PETER PAUL to good use.
A few months ago, I met up with a GREAT social artist named PRODIGY (once known as Prodigy Alpha). We both started out on the Stylelife Academy Elite Forum about the same time. After the 2009 Stylelife Spring World Conference, we both became moderators for the Stylelife Academy Public Forums. While we were in Los Angeles for the conference, he displayed this opener for everyone there. A while ago, I was on the phone with him and we were discussing routines for Pick Up Labs. I asked for one that he would recommend. And just like so many students before, he came through with one of his personal openers that he has used and keeps in his personal toolbox. And now he donates it to the world of Pick Up Labs for testing. This could go the distance and become something great. Or, well, lets think positive about all of this.
For that, I give you GUMMY BEARS vs. GUMMY WORMS:
Come back by August 31st and post up your results for Prodigy’s routine. Let us know what you think. Also, I can’t wait to see some of you guys are the 2009 Fall Stylelife World Conference in a few short weeks where you get to see Bravo, the Sneak, Ross Jeffries, Evolve and the headmaster STYLE. This should be a blast for everyone. The last one was incredible and I am sure this one is going to ROCK as well. For now, I am off to the candy store with a girl I JUST USED THIS ON. Can you say INSTA-DATE? I knew ya could.
Keep Framing and Gaming.

Side note;
I was at my normal internet CAFE and a girl that was waiting on her drink caught my eye. Cute, younger Catherine Zeta-Jones looking girl. As I went up to get a refill on my tea, I used this as my opener. Her reply. . .
“Gummy BEARS! I like to bite their heads off first.”
No need to close this girl. I can already see all sorts of issues that I could really care less about. Still wanted to share this with everyone. HA HA.

Now you’re talking. Before we get to testing I have a few things to add.
Transitioning: Talk about how you use to love sticking Gummy Savers on your fingers and have her choose which finger she would put them on. This naturally lends itself to running the Ring Finger Routine.
Give the guys in set other “manly” options such as gummy sharks or gummy bacon.
You can ask her if she’s ever had Worms in Dirt and become an authority in her world by giving her grandma’s secret recipe if she has never had it.
Peacock by making a candy straw for your drink by biting off the ends of a Twizzlers. Have extras to offer her or let her have one when she “wins” you over.

1. Does it work successfully? Yes. 5/6 times.
2. How difficult is this routine to master? Very easy, very simple, very effective.
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? No.
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? 4/5. It failed to hook once, out of six times.
5. Rapport building strength? Rapport is hit or miss. Even though it hooked really well, rapport was low, and hit or miss. 1/5. This obviously doesn’t mean they don’t want you to stick around and chat though!
6. Your PUA-AFC level? 3/5
7. Number of times tested? Six.
8. Any additional insight? I sometimes used the listed responses even if the target didn’t give that exact answer back. They ended up creating humor. See below.
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any): This is the basic script I used:
Actually, here, let me ask you something. My roommate and I had one of those man to man
discussions last night…you know that all men sometimes have. We’ll see what your take is on it.”
“I’m going to get back to , but this is a life or death argument we had last night. If you had to choose between the two, which would you take.” Pause.
“Gummy bears or gummy worms.”
I found the larger script, modified to fit me, worked a lot better. There was more of a root, the manly discussion came off with much more humor. When I used the shorter, given script above, the target just stared and said “I don’t know…”. The longer script kinda of built up this expectation of men talking about secrets….gummy secrets. In the tool belt this goes!
(I used this while wearing a parking enforcement uniform and pulled 2 numbers with this very opener.)

Cool! I’m using a similar opener since a few months: It is “Gummy Bears vs. Chocolate”. Works like charm. The cool thing is that you can tease her on any answer. “Ahh – a chocolate girl. I suspected…that’s trouble”.

This opener is okay, kind of hard to transition out of it, but you can definitely make the interaction fun and relaxed with it.
1. Success rate of 80%
2. very easy to remember, took about 5 minutes to get it down pat
3. Never got called out
4. 80% hook point
5. rapport wasn’t very high after I initiated the opener, like i said, it was hard to transition afterwards.
6. PUA level of 3
7. Tested 10 times
8. The opener itself is fun to use, definitely recommend it for warming up, but not so much when you want to stay in set.

1. Does it work successfully? Yes, opened 100% of my sets. 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master? I’m a big fan of short openers. Easy 5/5
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? Nope
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? Good 5/5
5. Rapport building strength? 2.5/5 Hit or Miss. Super easy to transition to ring finger routine using “I use to wear gummy saves as rings…”
6. Your PUA-AFC level? 2.5/5
7. Number of times tested? 4 Some stuff came up so I didn’t get to test as much as I’d like.
8. Any additional insight? One set I opened said BOTH, but I just teased with, “Hey! Don’t be greedy now.” and stacked forward. Worked best on fun loving sets. When it hits the rapport is high when it wasn’t it still opened.
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any): You can easily transition to the ring finger routine replacing rings with gummy savers. Have her open you. Make a candy straw for your drink by biting off the ends of a Twizzlers. Have extras to offer her. They really do “Make mouths happy”

1. Does it work successfully? always does for me 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master? 5/5
3. Did you get called out on using this routine? Nope
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine? 5/5
5. Rapport building strength? 3/5 I usually had good rapport, easy to call back to or transitition with
6. Your PUA-AFC level? 3/5
7. Number of times tested? 6, once on drewders phone =)
8. Any additional insight? something that always seems to get the set in deeper rapport was to say whatever their answer was “Oh see I heard that people that pick (their answers) are troublemakers/punks/losers.” if they ever critcized my choice I always said “yea I picked (my answer) its what all the cool kids pick”
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any): I gave this opener in its purest form for pickup labs, I’ve modified it a thousand different ways and it seems like the testers did as well, very proud of those who reported and made it their own.

1. Does it work successfully?
Even when I handed the PHONE to a random girl and let PRODIGY run it over the phone. 4/5 Almost everytime (see question #8).
2. How difficult is this routine to master?
Very easy. Nothing that hard. 5/5
3. Did you get called out on using this routine?
Never
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?
Pretty Strong 4/5.
5. Rapport building strength?
Rapport was alright. 3/5
6. Your PUA-AFC level?
4/5
7. Number of times tested?
5 1/2 times (one of the times, Prodigy was on the phone with me and just for fun, I let him run it with a random hot blonde sitting next to me. . . I still # closed her after I finished it up).
8. Any additional insight?
I usually played out the PROs and CONs of each choice with the set. Except the girl that said she would BITE the Heads off of the bears.
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any): Always read the girl from the reaction of the delivery of the opener. Once you drop it, hold eye contact and SMILE. . . A great smile shows you are having fun and that is what this is suppose to be: FUN

What’s the root for this one? Why are you asking?
