. . . Every single person that got out into the field, opened sets, and did this exercise.  There was 1 Stylelife member email me and tell me that he only opened five sets, but was able to pull a girl back home with him that night.  Why?  Because he was part of a fun exercise and he wasn’t really running game.  And what does Style say is the best way to run game?  By having something to do other than gaming.

This was also an exercise in getting out of your comfort zone and getting away from Approach Anxiety.  This gave you 50 different ways to open sets in just over 2 weeks.  To some, it was something fun and something challenging to rack up the points and win the Grand Prize.  To others, it was a nightmare but also a crutch to get away from their computers and actually hit the field, where the real game is played.

Now, I can’t lie. . .  Pick Up Labs has been rocking it strong for over a year now and something like this had to be done for the release of the NEW RULES OF THE GAME.  If you remember, a few months ago we had the privilege to run a few of the routines for the book.  This new version is jam packed with new routines, kiss closes, and even a way to pull THREE SOMES.  One devoted person played hard and posted an exceptional set of videos.  He hit the field and recorded everything he could.  This individual followed the rules and opened, followed through with the tasks, and supplied a lot of infield footage.  This one individual is walking away with a personalized signed copy from Style’s desk.  To this, I give you the winner:

The winner of the 2009 Pick Up Labs Scavenger Hunt goes to METZ. Congrats brother.  For the rest of you, I highly recommend going back and reviewing his videos that he posted in the original thread.  I have seen his posts on the Stylelife Forums and I can say that he has his a pretty good game plan set.  How about you?  Where is your game plan?

Speaking of game plans, come back later this week and we will actually be testing a routine from the new release of Rules of the Game.  I promise, it is a goodie.

Till then,

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

P.S.  To all the others that got out there and did the Scavenger Hunt and posted pix and video, you guys also rock.  I just wanted to say that it is insanely hard to score infield video as it is.  You guys pulled of what a lot of people can’t.  You guys FUCKING ROCK. . .

For some of the people that noticed, yes this is an exercise in breaking through your Approach Anxiety.  If you don’t have AA, then this shouldn’t be too hard for you.  If you do have AA, this is a fun way to get past it.  Now, the reason why this is still on is. . . a few guys were having issues posting pix/vids of their experience with the scavenger hunt.  So, for this week. . . THE HUNT IS STILL ON.

Now, this is not to say that there isn’t some competition.  There are a few guys that are on top of this and working their way through the list.  I highly recommend checking out Stylelife member METZ and his videos for a great example of what to do.  Winner still takes home a personally signed copy of the NEW version of Rules of the GAME, released October 27th, 2009 at bookstores near you.

Now, don’t forget to hit the Scavenger Hunt and post your results A.S.A.P.  It will end NEXT MONDAY November 2nd, at 10PM CST.  Remember, video is worth 5 points and pictures are worth 1 point.  The person with the most points wins.  If you have any issues posting, send us a message on the CONTACT US tab out to the lower right hand side.  You guys keep rocking and you will all come out winners of THE GAME.

This JUST IN! ! ! This week, we are doing something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT here at Pick Up Labs. Normally, you come here to see an opener, a routine, ways to kino, and so on. Not this week. This week, we are keeping our EYES on the PRIZE. YOU!

Now, how are we going about this? Easy. We are going to have a SCAVENGER HUNT. This was something that I came up with on the Stylelife Forums a while back and there really isn’t a better time to bring it out, than around Halloween. And guess what. To the one that completes everything and racks up the most points before Monday, OCTOBER 26th before 10pm PST, WINS. . .

What does this person WIN?!?!? Well, I could tell ya here, but what fun would that be? I will say, it will be really cool and it is JUST IN TIME for the release of RULES OF THE GAME 2.0 (hitting bookstores October 27th).  I’m sure you guys remember a few months ago we got a sneak peak at a few of the routines and openers that were in the book.  There are so many more routines to be seen (like compliance tests, Kiss Closes, and 3-somes).  You gotta check the new book out.

Now, Click the PDF below and check out your tasks. Follow the directions and become the winner that you deserve to be.

This is something out of the norm for Pick Up Labs, but we all have to step out of the comfort zone from time to time. Why shouldn’t we? Have fun with this, because it’s the way it should always be. Take it to the field and win this. My jaw seriously dropped when I found out what the prize would be. This is going to be AWESOME.

P.S.  I really SUCK at keeping SECRETS. . .

P.P.S.  This means that the WINNER of this CHALLENGE gets a Copy of the NEW RULES of THE GAME 2.0 personally AUTOGRAPHED by STYLE (Neil Strauss).  Yes, I indeed suck at keeping SECRETS.  GAME ON FELLAS.

P.P.S.S.  We are Extending because of a few guys having issues posting their vids/pix.  New deadline is November 2nd, 2009, at 10PM CST.  A few guys have been rocking this and I totally dig Metz’s vids and Sense’s pix.  Awesome job.  You guys ROCK! ! !

Had to bring a little old school INXS for this Pick Up Labs mission.  The song is based on old school seduction that still lives on today.  And speaking about old school seduction. . . We bring you Ross Jeffries; the Godfather and MASTER of Speed Seduction.

Known as the man that pretty well brought us the Seduction Community, Ross published books, ran seminars, videos and Cd’s on this stuff since the early 90’s.  Anchored mostly in NLP and Speed Seduction, his techniques have helped thousands of men.  One of which known to most of us, is STYLE of Stylelife Academy.  Ross was also a pivotal part in Style’s book THE GAME, in which he introduces Style to NLP.  Now, we at Pick Up Labs were lucky enough to use one of RJ’s Routines and pay the respect to the man that brought us our famed community.  Lets see what the crew thought of Manny and his favorite flavor of bowling balls:

1.  Does it work successfully?

Most of the testers said that it worked pretty easily.  4/5 for Success.

2.  How difficult is this routine to master?

Most of the testers stated that it was pretty easy to master.  4.5/5 for Easy to Master.

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

None of the testers were called out.  5/5 for not getting Called Out.

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

Most testers stated it had a pretty strong hook point.  4.5/5

5.  Rapport building strength?

This actually didn’t favor too well in the rapport strength.  It was a mid-point.  2.5 for Rapport Strength.

6.  Your PUA-AFC level?

Three testers were in between, while one tester said he was quite the AFC.  Good job on still testing.

7.  Number of times tested?

21 times between all the testers.

8.  Any additional insight?  (Were you able to run it 10 times in a day?)

This is great for the guys who are still having AA issues.

Nope, I easily will though when my AA gets checked to a reasonable level.

Didn’t do good at all in mixed sets.  Only hooked in single interactions.  I used it at the mall and ran Bravo’s Number Close and pulled a girl’s number a few minutes after.

There you have it.  Still pulls off the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval and quite the fun routine to run.  Many thanks to Ross Jeffries for letting us borrow Manny and testing his favorite flavor of bowling balls.  The particular thing is getting the rhythm down and knowing when to pause.  I have been waiting to gloss these pages of Pick Up Labs with some RJ material and I am happy I got the chance to.  To all the testers, thank you again for taking this to the streets, clubs, malls and everywhere else that you felt would rock a great response.  Come back at the end of the week as we get to prepare ourselves for the 2009 World Conference.  For those that didn’t get the chance to get your tickets, make sure you check out the September Conference.

Til next time,

Keep Framing and Gaming.

Ross invited me to attend a recent Speed Seduction seminar, and I have to admit I was a little worried.

All I knew about him before is that he was the crazy guy who sniffed Carmen Electra’s ass from The Game.

But after meeting him at few of Neil’s book signings, hanging out at the VH1 parties, and also being a guest speaker at our last two Stylelife Conferences my opinion of him changed greatly.

After spending the three days there, taking pages of notes, and interviewing him, I came to two conclusions-

1. Ross is Ross and he is a little out there.
2. The seminar was outstanding, and whether you are just starting out or have been at this for a while, you will get a lot out of it.

With this post on Pick Up Labs, have two cool things. First a mission written by Ross specifically for YOU, and is excellent for guys still dealing with AA (and for advanced level guys covers some cool aspects you probably aren’t even aware of yet)

2nd is a little video interview I did with him after in his hotel room. I had a few questions I wanted to ask, and I am SURE many of you have been wanting to know the same thing, INCLUDING what was up with that video from 30 years ago with him talking about worshipping the Devil!

Check it you!

Go forth and test! Report your findings back here so others can also learn. Guys who just read these and don’t follow through, this one is perfect for you to break that negative cycle and man up!
