No, this isn’t a robbery or a concert.  This is Pick Up Labs.  And, thanks to Stylelife Academy student Farmer for his breakdown of quite an awesome Palm Reading DHV.  I hope you guys ran this as much as I did.  I usually go off and talk about the routine for a moment and where it came from, but I would first like to add my little story.

The best set I ran this on, was my first set.  This was the night that Farmer sent it to me to review.  He set up a really good breakdown of a routine perfected by a Stylelife crew member; Gypsy.  Now, sadly, I didn’t rehearse it very much.  The girl I ended up running it on was REALLY interested that I knew a bit about Palm Reading.  Funny thing is, this was probably my first time ever really attempting it.  And guess what!!!  I actually got it all ass backwards.  I was reading her palm as it was facing me and kept remembering the lines backwards.  AND IT STILL WORKED.  How awesome is that?

So, with that, I give you the results of the Palm Reading DHV:

1. Does it work successfully?

All testers stated it was a pretty successful routine. 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master?

All testers stated it was relatively easy.  4/5 for being easy.
3. Did you get called out on using this routine?

None of the testers stated that they were called out.  5/5 for not getting called out.

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

Most of the testers rated this routine as having a pretty strong hook point.  4/5 for strong hook point.

5. Rapport building strength?

All testers stated it had a pretty strong Rapport Building Strength. 4/5 for strong Rapport.

6. Your PUA-AFC level?

Most testers stated they were neither a PUA nor an AFC.  All testers fit in between.

7. Number of times tested?

46 times

8. Any additional insight?

“I wanted more info about the lines, what various patterns mean, spacing, there is a lot of stuff on youtube about this but you have to spend time separating the negative from the positive and translating it into NLP style comments that intrigue and please.” – Silver Tongue

“Kinda messed up to say this but if you cant remember, just make it up!” – Prodigy

“I have actually google searched palm reading videos, and the funny thing is, a guy purposely misreads palms to see if people agree. Most chances, they did. It is all about the cold read…..” -drewder

9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):

“A table of common patterns and their meanings would be useful. I felt that I needed more material, but maybe that’s just the perfectionist in me.” -Silver Tongue

“Only modification I can suggest is, if you quote it… OWN IT. If someone says it’s wrong, tell them it just hasn’t happened yet.” – drewder

“I would touch upon the psychic X and number of great loves on their hand. Also I was told by a girl that your dominant hand is how your life is now but you less dominant hand was how your life was laid out when you were born. Always got the girls mystified. Also I would look at their hand and brush it away at first saying ” I cant even talk to you… see this line, that means youre a dork.” – Prodigy

And there you are.  Another great DHV to add to your toolbox.  This routine gets the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval. Thanks to all the guys that tested it out and thanks to all the guys that keep running it.  For this upcoming mission, the TRUTH is, I hope you have BALLS to run this…..  I DARE YOU!!!!!

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

So for the guys that are on the Stylelife Elite Forums, this routine has actually been leaked out.  I won’t say who or how, but I did see this in a field report and I can only say…. WOW!  This is something that Gypsy from the Stylelife Academy crew has taught.  Yet, Farmer has put it together in a pretty good session that I truly believe needs to be tested.  This boasts kino escalation, cold reading, comfort building and an awesome DHV for the guys that pull it off.  Are you ready for the challenge?

First off, this can be set up as an opener, but I recommend using this well after you open.  What kind of routine am I talking about?  How about PALM READING?  That’s right.  This week we are going to break down the art of Palm Reading so you can work it into your sets.  It’s not as hard as you think.  You just gotta do a bit of reading to frame it.  And come on, when has reading up on winning over the girl of your dreams NEVER been fun?

With that I HAND OFF, Gypsy’s Palm Reading DHV

I particularly would love to see this tested out because I have seen a lot of talk on the Palm Reading Skills of fellow PUAs and Social Artists.  So, give this routine a shot and post up what you think about it by Monday, February 15th to see if it gets the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval.

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…..

Ever been out and see a guy that just looks like a complete MUTANT?  No style, no taste, but even worse, HE IS WITH THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS?  How in the WORLD did a guy that looks like that pull it off?

As Kermit D. Frog once said, “It ain’t easy bein Green”.  And the word GREEN has been quite the fluent word lately.  There are quite a lot of “GREEN” AFCs in the works of the GAME.  There is even something called a “GREEN PUA”.  But this isn’t what we are talking about.

This week, a few of the guys that have helped out in the past put their heads together and worked as a team to take something that was once an OPENER, rip it apart, and build it into something better; a Personality Test.  As we all know, personality tests are like Chick Crack, but is this the kind of thing that can gain the respect of girls or guys?  Is it something that can rock social proof?  Well, that is what we are going to test.

Farmer actually came up with this as an opener while he was in New Orleans during Mardi Gras with the Sneak.  He ran it with much success. As soon as he posted it on the Stylelife Elite forum in a field report, many people started commenting on it.  Then a few threads popped up on various ways you can use it.  Even Techfall came up with a great way to use it as a cold read.  Ever since then, it has evolved into what we present for you RIGHT HERE at Pick Up Labs.

I now present to you, The Ninja Turtles Personality Test:

So, if these four guys in green can hook up with April O’Neil, then you can totally use it to pull a girl of your own, possibly gain the respect of guys in the set, and hopefully bring things to a close.  No lie, while Prodigy, Farmer and I were putting this together, I was testing the waters on a girl.  Come to find out, she is a HUGE COMIC fan.  I was impressed by her geek-streak.  Always a cool thing in my book.  What is in your book?  Bring your results back to Pick Up Labs on September 14th, where I crunch the numbers and post the results.  Let us know what you think.  After all, this is Pick Up Labs.

P.S.  Hope to see a lot of you guys this weekend at the 2009 Stylelife World Conference.  Come up and introduce yourself if ya see me.  It’s going to be a blast.

. . . ability to open and run a routine like this?  I personally ran with it, but how far did the rest of you get?  When Bravo asked me which routine I wanted to post up, this was the one that stood out for me. 

Farmer came up from the depths of the Stylelife Elite crew.  He was also featured in the newest promo vid for the 2009 Stylelife World Conference.  You can normally find him in the flash chats or cruising the forums helping others out and even posting great field reports, which I personally have benefited from. He stepped up to provide everyone with something that was hand forged from his own works.  Although, it may have been the BIGGEST one yet as per the amount of testers, does it really get a clean bill of health?

And the Results are. . . .

Only issue I had, and I ran into this quite a bit, was a lot of girls said they didn’t like “BABY GIRL NAMES”. . . But still went for it and I led each set and the target down a path of cold reading. Usually ran the ring routine after or strawberry fields. Pulled the 5 oceans full stack once.

When I mentioned that I could be the godfather I said “and since I’m Italian I would love that position” always got a good laugh.

The part where you say it’s there dogs name was fantastic, everytime I used it on my target she tried to requalify herself and the set always had a good laugh.

When asked how I knew the couple I mentioned that we met at martial arts tournament, snowboarding, at a crazy party, or some type of DHV story that was true but I just switched them in for someone else.

Question I got asked 4 out of my 5 sets was – “Are they big into ethnic names?” When I said no it seemed to work better.

Good opener which. def captures attention w-the females in the group but I noticed one group that I opened it up on (a mixed group), it was not as strong compared to a group of all females….most likely linked to the fact that a majority of guys are not as interested in baby names then girls are.

Teasing a group member about the couples dog having the same name always got a laugh.

I found you need to hook the guys quickly. So if you say something like ‘oh man you better watch out. She has baby names picked out. You better run’. Or say to the guy ‘isn’t it funny. Girls can give you a list of names, but guys haven’t given it a second thought’.

Some girls will take the thread and run with it. It can go on. You need a plan to get off the opener.

Nice one brother… really easy to transition to DHV or start teasing because of weird names (honestly, “Charleston”!?).

It opened so easily, I was completely under the radar. Just seeing this in action was pretty slick. It was more on that emotional (goochy goochy gooo) level that really sparked their interests.

Since it was SUCH a spark for both sets, I had to get OUT of the baby talk quickly and switch subjects before I started to lose interest. The first set was stuck in the baby name conversation. The second set was easier, since they overheard the first set.

This opener is fantastic for beginners! From my experience, it was 100% successfull. I could see if you learn more about baby names and their origins…. transitioning to a deeper emotional level could be accomplished with litte effort and awesome DHVs.

All 3 times I tested this with mixed sets. Guys don’t really care about baby names as much. It definitely wasn’t as effective when I used it on a set comprised of mostly guys.

The negs work great in this one. I suggest switching away as quickly as possible but this may be kinda hard since you’re asking for something fairly specific. If you do change threads, you can always come back to this however.

Everything Farmer said was on point. I really enjoyed this one. Good work brother

Hahaha the first girl I tested it on was a teenage mother with her son in a stroller sitting next to me on the bus. This opener is perfect for picking up MILFs hahaha.

Second set was that same day (Friday), a 2 set, went well – kiss close and felt eachother up. PS opened with the JINX Opener, that opener is crack for me and its NEVER failed

Third set was Saturday, used it in conversation in a club. Due to external circumstances it wouldn’t have been appropriate for us to do anything in the club even though she was wrapping herself around me like a snake. She has a BF too. We exchanged contact info, just added her on Facebook, seeded a day two at my house party.

Some women don’t answer initially, ask them their opinion or suggestions. Sometimes I noticed they don’t respond usually because they are still thinking of a good name.

Getting emotionally excited if when you mention that you want to be the Godfather. Women see your enthusiasm and excite and they emotionally can relate, and that is attractive.

I had a few sets who left and re-mentioned to me their suggestions for a name and wished me luck. It illustrates that it was still on their mind.

Some women offer their name and say it is their name immediately. Use that opportunity to introduce yourself to the group and you are in rapport quickly. You can also neg on their name saying it is a nice name but don’t think it will work on their baby and the family personality.

Good stuff…I actually showed guys that I met how easy it was to talk to girls with this opener. I told them it’s just basically role-playing as a way to talk to girls without them thinking you’re hitting on them.

So there you have it.  A MASSIVE RESPONSE with a lot of guys testing.  This gets a HUGE Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval.  Hats off to the FARMER for coming up with a very creative and intriguing routine that is jam packed with versatility and simple to master.  You can drop this one ANYWHERE.

Huge thanks to the testers for making this an incredible success.  The response was excellent.  Now, take this one to the field, run with it, and for the sake of all things great.  . . SCORE. . .

Check back later on for more kick ass material from the Pick Up Labs crew.

What’s up fellas?  It’s Drewder again and Bravo came to me and asked me to pick an opener that I really dug for this weeks Pick Up Labs mission.  The one that I personally wanted to test out first was one a student sent a little while back.

This week, I want to bring the THUNDER from a student from the Elite side of Stylelife Academy; FARMER.

Farmer came up with this opener on his own and it is an original home recipe that comes right out of his back pocket.  The Baby Girl Name Opener is now handed to the testers of Pick Up Labs to test and see how the results pan out.

This could very well be one of the most versatile openers because of all the emotional connection, sincerity, and it also makes women think about making babies.  It even has a built in DHV and you have a chance to become very playful.  This can be used in the day, night, club, book store, or anywhere.

Also, this gives you the chance to use many other routines from Pick Up Labs past and re-run them or just go for the close.  Come on, who doesn’t love the Godfather?

Come back and post your results.  Can a Stylelife Elite member deliver an awesome and easy opener?  Let us know.
