…. and I’m not talking about Sparta.

Welcome to March Madness.  How does your bracket look?  Speaking about bracketeering, welcome back to Pick Up Labs.  Where we bring you bigger plays than the tournament.  This week, we have another big play by one of your best players from the Stylelife Academy: PRODIGY.

I could sit here and type up a huge story about this routine, and how it is an awesome game (much like the Cube or Strawberry Fields).  I could tell you that it is very short and very easy to remember.  BUT, I would rather you guys told me what you think.  The last routine was put together really well, but didn’t get much feedback.  I want to hear what you guys think.

So, on that note, I give you:

I want to know how this works out for you.  Post the answers to the questions listed on the PDF and let the GAMES BEGIN.  And hopefully your love life can look better than your bracket.

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

Every once in a while, I hear people ask in the Stylelife Academy Flashchats, “What is the best routine on Pick Up Labs?”  Good question.  Now, you could go through and look at all the routines that got the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval and see which ones you like, but how about we vote on which one you think is the BEST ROUTINE of Pick Up Labs.  What did you have the most fun with?  Best results?

Let’s start if off with THE CUBE

Then we moved onto the Famed Apocalypse Opener

After that we came back with the Myspace/Facebook Opener (which ended up in the newest version of Rules of the Game).

And the rest as follows:

The Jinx Opener

Bravo’s Number Close Routine

C’s vs. U’s

Strawberry Fields

Incestuous Relationship Opener

My Best Friend Just Died Opener by Badboy

The Blood-Strology DHV

Fate’s Future Projection Routine

The Bravo Pose Off

Again, I’m just asking your opinion because we would really love to know what you guys think.  Now I’ve gotta get back to my buddies real quick, so this should only take a couple minutes.  We all have a couple minutes, right? lol

So you tell us what you liked, didn’t like, what you had the most fun with, what gave you the best results and WHY.  This should be pretty interesting.

Keep Framing and Gaming

With so many great submissions, and a lot of awesome pics, I’ve gotta say that you guys are the best.  When Stylelife Academy Students come together and everyone posts up their pics with either hot girls, being part of a social circle, funny, or just plain scary pix, it was hard to judge who the winner was.  To be honest, no one is a loser (really, read this whole message and you will understand why).  But the ones that really shined are known.  It came down to a few really tough calls.

But, the winner of the Bravo Pose/Free Coaching Call Challenge goes out to:

BIG POPPA

Before the Bravo Pose:

After Bravo Pose Challenge:

So Congrats Big Poppa and like I said, no one is a loser in this.  Expect a surprise email from us here soon about all the details.

Other Great Pix:

Farmer (the Epic Titty Pic).

Prodigy (Mini Boba Fett had us all busting up laughing)

Bayrage and Zebulon both kept this VERY CLOSE.

Again, thanks to everyone for kicking so much ass with this and also expect a surprise email from us.  Kudos and this wraps up the Challenge.  Come back later this week to check out the BEST Pick Up Labs Post of ALL TIME. Until then…..

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

There has been quite a buzz on the Stylelife Forums about the Bravo Pose Off.  Emails have been coming over asking for an extension for New Years.  So, since everyone has been really cool, we are going to extend this for just ONE MORE WEEK.

That’s right.

You guys get one more week to post your awesome pics of you dropping the Bravo Pose. (Deadline to do so is Monday, January 4th by 10PM PST.)  Again, the winner will receive a free Coaching Call from Bravo (quite the valuable prize and life changing experience: ask Zebulon).  And we might even be doing something really cool with all the other people posting their pics.

Now, how do you post your pics?

First, hit this LINK HERE (BRAVO POSE OFF)

When you post them on PHOTOBUCKET.COM, Copy the “HTML” link and Paste it in the “COMMENT” section, post a short explanation about the photo(s) taken, then hit the “SUBMIT COMMENT” button under the COMMENT section.

We also have something pretty cool we are working on for the next Pick Up Labs mission.  Coming out 2010.  Keep Your Eyes on this page and stay in the know about all the great things coming.

Have a Happy New Year and….

It’s the season of giving.  It is our turn to give back to you fellow testers of Pick Up Labs and Stylelife Academy that have been rocking it strong.  This is the end of the year mission.  It is easy.  It is simple.  Hell, even a caveman can do it.  What is it?

All you gotta do is do your BEST BRAVO INSPIRED POSE and submit your pix, links, and stories behind them.  For example:

This thread started by Crue: The Best Bravo Pose

Crue Rocking the Bravo Pose

Bravo Rocked this pose right after he made out with 2 girls at the same time.

From left to right:

Bolshevik, Bravo, SmoothCall, and Topher

Prodigy and friends rock the Bravo Pose for Halloween

Now, this is all for the fun of it, but also, there will be a prize for the BEST BRAVO INSPIRED POSE.  I got the OK from Bravo and the winner will receive a free coaching call from the man himself; Bravo.  A totally great way to step up your game with the Executive Coach at Stylelife.

Best of all, it doesn’t matter what your GAME level is, you can still go out and rock a pose.

SIDE NOTE:

I also heard that if we get a lot of cool ones, we might even be able to pull off something insanely awesome as a thank you to all the people that post up their pix.

So get your photos up here and your stories.  This is going to be fun and I can’t wait to see how this turns out.  Deadline to do so is Monday, January 4th by 10PM PST.

P.S. Don’t forget:

This week in Style’s Street Team we are excited to bring something special.

The MySpace opener has already recieved the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval but Style & Bravo both worked on it and this is the newest most updated version for Rules of The Game. Below for the rest of the week, you can get it and help test it before the new book comes out.

The reason this opener is so popular is not only did it test VERY WELL but it is a DHV in itself.  So, without further ado, I give you this weeks routine.

(mission removed)

LOCATION (city/town where approaches were made):

AGE:

NUMBER OF TIMES ROUTINE USED:

Come back next week for a new TOP SECRET routine from Style.  For the guys that were at the Spring Conference, you may already know it, but we are going to test it.  For the guys that missed the Spring Conference, this is going to be a treat for you.

p.s. If you are reading this and can’t click on the PDF above, then you are too late.  As stated, this is an extreme limited edition.  The book will be out soon enough.  Keep your eyes peeled.

. . . please tell me I am not the only one that laughed at this line from the previous page:

“YOU are the one who no longer jumps at the chance to go on a date with a girl I wouldn’t rail with Bea Arthur’s dick.  -Bravo”

What’s up, FELLAS! ! !

Thanks Bravo for the intro in last weeks results.  A few of you guys may be wondering, who is this Drewder character?  I started out just like many others in the AFC Jungle of the community.  After reading the GAME and also working through Rules of the GAME, I joined the Stylelife public forums.  I rocked the boards for about a year and decided that for a new years resolution, I wanted to work harder for a better life; a Style- Life.  So I moved to the ELITE forum as of 1-1-09 and joined in on the Missions, Forum posts and Coaches Flash Chats.  While in one of Bravo’s Flash Chats, he was talking about doing stuff for Pick Up Labs, and I willingly raised my hand.  After numerous weeks of helping out, I find myself now typing up an intro to my first Pick Up Labs Results post.  

Without further ado, lets get the STACK ON! ! !

We have done the 5 OCEANS, the Planets Transition, then the Astrology DHV, and now we rock an EMOTIONAL CONNECTION with the girls we talk to.  Everything has been good up to this point.  Let’s see how this bit faired:

1. Does it open, transition, DHV, and build comfort successfully?

All testers replied stating that YES it opened, transitioned, DHV’ed and built comfort SUCCESSFUL.  5/5

2. How difficult is this routine to master?

All testers stated it was rather easy to master.  4.5/5

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

None of the testers got called out with this routine.  5/5

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

All testers said the Hook Point was Strong.  5/5

5.  Rapport building strength?

All testers said it built Strong Rapport.  5/5

6.  Your PUA-AFC level?

All testers said they were in between PUA~AFC

7.  Number of times tested?

Tested 8 times.

8.  Any additional insight? Did you isolate?  How did things end with her?

( Tester’s statements : )

This is how openers are meant to be used.

I like transitioning with tell me three things that make you interesting or saying “I hate when people go into standard interview questions personally I don’t think you get to know someone that way I like asking unconventional questions” (she will ask “like what?” or something to that effect) “well whats the worst thing you’ve ever done?”

When they talk add to the conversation but do not try to over speak her

Yes and no, Isolation usually works better

8 number closes, 6 kiss close, 2 full closes (one was a Day2) , 1 potential g/f

First time I used it, the girl was really cool.  She was out with friends and when she turned her back to hang with me and to tell me “HER STORY” I soon found out she liked a lot of the drugs I didn’t, (I am a VITAMIN guy, she was a pot and cola girl).  Not my thing.

The second girl I had an awesome connection with.  She talked about art and she paints (with acrylic) and has a show coming up.  She invited me.  This girl was incredible.

This stack gets a FULL PICKUP LABS STAMP of APPROVAL.  Everything from the start to the finish worked. The last part is played in comfort, which is said to be where the GAME is really played.  Allowing a girl to open up and tell us who she is and the things she is into is a big step in the right direction, the direction you can make things happen. 

Thanks to the testers for making this stack rock and giving it, THE STAMP! ! !   And also thanks to BRAVO for putting this awesome stack together.  Stay tuned for next time as we hit the fields to test another great routine from pickup labs. 

Keep FRAMING and GAMING.

Most of the guys who get into the Social Arts aren’t looking to sleep with hundreds of girls, they just want a girlfriend. But GETTING the skills to get a cool girlfriend is the part that takes the work. I can tell you that life and women aren’t like the movies. The nerd who had the hots for the cheerleader captain all 4 years of High School, writes her a love note and gives it to her at the end of the year, doesn’t end up banging her. She ends up telling her friends about the note and laughing about it.

So it is my prvilege to share something with you. When you actually get good at this stuff, begin to understand it and can successfully implement it, a wonderful thing happens.

YOU get to be the one who screens girls to see if they make the cut to YOUR standards!

YOU are the one who no longer jumps at the chance to go on a date with a girl I wouldn’t rail with Bea Arthur’s dick.

I remember after my divorce, I felt like damaged goods. What cool chick would want to date a guy who was divorced and broken at 25. I can remember coming to grips with the fact that the level of woman I was going to accept in my life had to be lowered. With hard work I came out of my slump, I could either sink or swim, and I wanted to fly.

I still remember the first time this happened, I was out and killing it with this smoking hot chick, then she tells me something I thought was completely inappropriate and against some of my core beliefs. In that split second I remember thinking, I can’t believe she just said that, what a fucking nut job! The fact that she was so attractive didn’t matter at all. I then told her, “wow that is fucked up, good luck with that,” and left. It wasn’t until later that an accquaintance asked what happened and after I told him he said, “ya man but she was HOT!” that I realized I was now the one choosing who I let into my life. It was amazing.

This week’s mission and the final part of the Five Oceans Routine Stack begins to cover how I then transition into building an emotional connection.

This one was more difficult to break down like the earlier parts, but once you understand the principles behind it, I am confident it will help your game. Use her wisely guys, she has served me well.

While it is clear that I have been bringing the thunder, I have had some help. Each week a stand out student of the Stylelife Academy has not only helped test, but also helped with the data collection each week.

Drewder has proven himself, and will begin posting the results from each test.

So congrats brother!

Ok on to the results, compliments of Drewder-

Pretty cool to see how many guys used the transition into the Ring Routine. It is solid, but now I am going to teach what I believe is the strongest DHV out there.

Astrology!

The funniest part about this one, is I hate Astrology. I can remember giving my x-wife crap about buying books about it. I can remember making fun of girls I dated who talked about it. I use to call girls out on it, “what if someone was born in Alaska, and another person was born in New York at the same time, but because it was different times zones, one person was one sign and the other a different one, do they act differently?”

Then one night after I DHVed to some girls about how I recently taught some DEA and FBI SWAT guys how to kill people with a tie or belt in a tactical class (they were traveling overseas and would not be armed, and also wanted to learn how to fight if they had their hands tied up) I thought to myself I HAVE THEM, WHAT GIRL WOULDNT LOVE HEARING ABOUT THAT! Then the guys in the set were impressed, but the girls wanted to talk to Gypsy who I accomplishment intro’ed a minute ago and included his Astrology skills.

Girls cared more about the stars than my cool ass story?

YEP

But I still refused to study this.

Then when I moved out to Hollywood to teach full time as a coach for Stylelife, I would constantly see Evolve kill with Astrology.

I still didn’t want to learn it, but I knew I had to add it to my arsenal!

So I made up a way I could DHV with Astrology, and not technically have to learn it!

So I proudly present to you, my baby and part 3 of my 5 Oceans stack, Bravo’s Astrology DHV.

Your mission-

You now have a bulletproof opener and transition, now it’s time to DHV with some Astrology baby!
