Hopefully the sweetness wasn’t bad enough to spread cavities. And I hope you guys got to spread other cavities all together.
Welcome back to the LAB that pushes everyone to be what they really want to be; GREAT! This past week, we received a routine put together by one of the Stylelife Academy Students and Public Forum Moderators; PRODIGY. I have had the chance to talk with Prodigy a lot here recently and he is even helping with a few of the routines and future missions around the LAB. This routine is proof of some of his work. He brought it out of his personal stash to be tested here for all of our Pick Up Labbers. One of the funniest ones was when I had him on the phone and a really cute girl was sitting next to me at an Internet Cafe. We experimented with him starting it and me finishing it. The great thing is, there were actually a bunch of other guys listening in on the call. Did it still work out for me though?
YES IT DID! ! !
I would also like to thank a few of the new comers that posted up this week. I always dig seeing new faces and testers and also catching feedback. Even if it didn’t work out for you, make sure you post up your results. This isn’t the place to be shy.
Now, to the Test Results:
1. Does it work successfully?
Most of the testers stated it worked quite well. 4/5 for Success.
2. How difficult is this routine to master?
Most of the testers stated it was pretty easy to master. 4/5 for Easy to Master.
3. Did you get called out on using this routine?
Not one tester got called out while using this routine. 5/5 for NOT getting called out.
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?
All the testers stated it had a pretty strong hook point. 4/5 for strong hook point.
5. Rapport building strength?
It fell on the AVERAGE SCALE for Rapport Strength. 3/5 for Rapport Strength.
6. Your PUA-AFC level?
Most of the testers fell in between AFC and PUA. Only 1 tester stated being an AFC.
7. Number of times tested?
Routine was tested 41 times
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.” -METZ
“The opener itself is fun to use, definitely recommend it for warming up, but not so much when you want to stay in set.” -SidV
“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.” -YouWish98
“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” -Prodigy
“All three times ended with a number close. Thanks Prodigy.” theC
“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.” -drewder
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.)”-METZ
“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”. . . -YouWish98
“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.” -Prodigy
“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”- drewder
Well, after busting down the figures. Dividing by 9, carrying a 4, and rounding up from a 7. Oh, what am I talking about. This routine proudly gets the PICK UP LABS STAMP OF APPROVAL. It didn’t rank the highest on Rapport, but it still passed with flying colors in other areas. I will probably even test this out as soon as I get out to LA for the 2009 Stylelife Fall Conference this WEEKEND! ! ! I am pretty stoked to see all the coaches and see Style again. If ya see me there, come up and say hi. You can even tell me about a routine you wouldn’t mind to see HERE on Pick Up Labs, whether it is your own or someone elses.
Come back Thursday, where Farmer shows us how the guys in Green could help you Score a mean HOTTIE.
Keep Framing and Gaming.
