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

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

I heard of this routine while I was on call with the Sneak and Style during one of the Stylelife monthy member calls and this routine was brought up.  I couldn’t remember it too well because back then, I was a new student and there were so many cool things going on all at once, I didn’t write it down.  Later on in that call, we were all told that we had to keep it a secret.  It has been long enough and now I am bringing it to you guys.

This has been one of the super secret ninja routines that guys use when they can’t remember all the astrology signs or when running the Cube seems too long.  This routine is for deeper level interactions and you may want to hold off using it as an opener.  For the more daring, you can frame it as just that.  I will also say that this will be the last of the sneak peek of the routines that are found in the newest version of The Rules of the Game.  There may be more in the future, but they will be few and far between.  This is your last chance to get your glimpse.

With that, I present to you:

The Blood-Strology DHV

Come back by November 30th and post all your results.  Let us know how well you did no matter what level of AFC/PUA you are.  That’s what testing this stuff is all about.  Tis the holiday season, and why not add more seasoning here at Pick Up Labs?

And you won, did she take advantage of you?  Or were you taking advantage of her?  Oh, the games to be played.  If you are geared up with all the Stylelife goodies, I am sure you didn’t fold your cards on this one.  But was it worth the hype that got it in the new version of the Rules of the Game?  Did we all win from this one?  Lets see how the stakes were on this routine.

First, though, I would like to point out HOW many times this routine has been used.  It has been in Style’s personal arsenal for a long time, it was in the Annihilation Method DVD set, it’s been on YOU TUBE, in both Stylelife Forums, and also tested over the Summer with the Style’s Street Team.  We break it out almost SIX months later and no one has been called out on it.  Not only that, but it looks like it has been quite productive in taking it to the next level.  So now, I give you the Pick Up Labs results from this classic routine.

1. Does it work successfully?
Out of all the testers, everyone has said that it works like a CHARM.  5/5 for success.

2. How difficult is this routine to master?
Everyone that has tested it said it was a really easy routine to master.  5/5 for easy.

3. Did you get called out on using this routine?
The routine has been around for a long time and I don’t know if anyone has ever been called out.  5/5 for not getting called out.

4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?
The hook point proved pretty strong. 4/5 for strong hook point.

5. Rapport building strength?
Rapport was pretty good.  3.5/5 for Rapport Building Strength.

6. Your PUA-AFC level?
All testers were between AFC and PUA.

7. Number of times tested?
47 times

8. Any additional insight?
“Bet on drinks!!! She’ll pay for your drink and you can tell her to prepare a game for you next time you meet … and if you lose you’ll be the one paying.
PS: If she doesn’t bring a game, make her another game and make her pay again!” -AngelSin

“Remember it doesnt matter who wins or if they follow through its just about having fun!” -Prodigy

“Initially didnt think this was going to work that well. The first couple of times I used it was with girls I knew, and they both beat me. But still they had fun, so a success. Then later bet a girl a high five on this game while standing in line for the bathroom. When she lost and realized it there was a huge smile on her face.

This hooked her so well that walking past her table later she re-opened me, and insisted I play the game with one of her friends. This girl loved it even when she lost. Another girl came up and I was convinced to play it one more time, this time for a drink. I heard one of the guys in the corner at the table mutter “This game sucks”. Im guessing he thought it sucked because all of the girls were talking to me instead of him. Left with a phone number from a girl in that group and then a kiss from a girl I used this on later on.” -Farmer

“I run this the way I run any bar game.” -drewder

9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):
“Never bet for a phone number it should be given not earned in a bet, bet for drinks, hand massages, or to let them see a cool DHV” -Prodigy

“If called out as being a Con Artist or a Scam just go into The Cube but don’t put them into the Pen15 club.” – theC

“Since I was testing this, instead of just using it when girls suggested I buy them a drink, it came off like I was being sneaky if I just brought up betting for a drink. So I found that the random bet for a high five was fun enough and low value enough that people were more open to having fun with it than worried about having to pay for a drink.” -Farmer

10. What did I win?
“2 drinks, A “Pivot.” And $4.” – The C

“I have always ALWAYS played for a drink. I then teach them how to do it so they can win drinks for themselves.” -drewder

Do I even really need to say?  This routine gets the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval by a mile.  There is rarely an issue when it comes to a fun bar bet.  Even teaching them is a routine in itself.  It adds more value.

Come back later in the week and see what SUPER SECRET ROUTINE he has been working on.  It is something the SNEAK and Style talked about keeping secret, but I am going to post it here just for you Pick Up Labs followers.  But, shhhhhhh.  Keep it a secret.  Ha Ha.

Till next time.

Keep Framing and Gaming

One of my favorite quotes from the movie The Rock from one of the most Bad ASS actors in history; Sean Connery.  You want to be a winner?  Did you want to fuck the prom queen?  Did you actually do it?  Wanna find a way to get closer to that goal?  Read on. . .

I challenge all of you readers out there.  This week, you are going to get your ass in the field.  You are going to approach.  You are going to introduce yourself to every set you come across.  You are going to go up, say your name, and you are going to put your hand out there and shake hands.  You are THAT IMPORTANT and everyone needs to know who you are.  And, this is the easiest first step of kino EVER! ! !

When I first started out in the Stylelife Academy, I was talking about my Rockstar Handshake in a FLASH CHAT with Stylelife Coach, the SNEAK.  He had no idea what I was talking about, so I went out and did it to the first person I could get on camera. So I hit the field and filmed a short video of me teaching the handshake to a random girl. The video is in the PDF below for everyone to see.  It was my first week in the Academy.  Here I am now, writing these challenges to you now.  Something else I learned from the Sneak, is how to merge the sets while teaching everyone my Secret Handshake.  This week, we give you the:

ROCKSTAR HANDSHAKE SET MERGE

I am very curious to see how everyone does with their new acquired SECRET HANDSHAKE.  Spread the word.  Unite hands.  And ROCK OUT.

Post your results by Monday, OCTOBER 12th.  For a BONUS CHALLENGE, I want to see some sort of pics or VIDEO of you performing your handshake to a completely random set.  I was given this challenge at the beginning of the year, let’s see what you guys can do.  I CHALLENGE YOU.

. . .I think he would have been a Dionysus.  Although, this would still trip him up.  By the way, is it just me or has anyone else ever wondered how the hell he heard all of those commands throughout the years?

Alright, enough already.  We are back to normal Pick Up Labs fashion and DAMN am I ever proud to see all you guys back on here.  I had to bring out a massive treat for ya and I have been holding off on posting it until now.  And after seeing results on this, I can’t be any happier.

The routine has been around the block, but with a few Stylelife adjustments, you can now use it for the greater good of your sets.  If you can run it, escalate and then transition to her talking about herself, you should be able to close (i.e. Number close, kiss close, or EVEN BETTER.)

Now, lets check out the results for the beloved RING FINGER ROUTINE:

1. Does it work successfully?

It was unanimous.  All the testers said it was successful.  5/5

2. How difficult is this routine to master?

Most of the testers said it was pretty easy to master.  4/5 for Easy to Master

3. Did you get called out using this routine?

Not one single tester was called out for using this routine.  5/5 for NOT getting Called Out.

4. Hook point strength?
The results show that the hook point strength was fairly strong.  4/5 for Strong Hook Point.

5. Rapport building strength?

The results show that it also has a fairly strong Rapport Building Strength.  3.5/5 for Strong Rapport.

6. Your PUA-AFC level

All testers fell into the “IN BETWEEN” category (No PUAs and no one said they were an AFC).

7. Number of times tested?
65 times

8. Any additional insight?
“I would usually say its amazing what you wear says about you like your … and then transfer to something else she is wearing OR body language.” -Prodigy

“Earlier this month on vacation I used it on our waitress a HB 8.5 wearing an engagement ring, I’ve never seen a ring fly off a finger so fast and put on the other hand. She quickly explained it was a fake ring “If this was real I wouldn’t be waiting tables” My friends were amazed at how in a crowed bar I was able to isolate build a connection and determine she was available and interested. # closed and set up day 2 for after she got off work the next day.”-Dchipy

“It’s not necessary to get ALL the way through this routine… it can get long, especially for an opener. It is very good though, especially if you get a girl that’s into esoteric stuff.” -CloverThief

“I always hold her hand gently when I do it. I move it around and I sometimes touch each finger in the process. calibration is a must with this one.”- bondurant

“At least for me, this is done better to DHV later in the set, rather than an opener. Maybe I’m too pedestrian but when this hooks, it is a way to short-circuit / short-cut to get to rapport.” -LedZep (Menace)

“Useful as an opener, rapport builder, or in seduction.” -Forte

“Never used as an opener. Though it has always helped the transition from Approach into Attraction/DHV phase. Had one girl resist the routine since she put me into the “And, do you REALLY believe this shit?” shit test. Another girl used the “I’m totally not like that, this is bullshit” resistance. Though the rest of the girls I tested, successfully transitioned into the Cube routine, which landed #, K, and in some cases, F-Closes. The rings routine is my favorite one along with the Cube. They are always used in my stack.” -Tobasco1mpact

“This is still one of my favorite openers and ways to build rapport. I have even used it on girls wearing wedding rings, but found out later they weren’t really married.” -drewder

9. Suggested additions or modifications (if any):

“Engineers wear steel pinky rings, if I see a pinky ring I suggest she is nerdy math type with awkward social skills and disqualify her. From here you can run games that use numbers i.e. “pick a number (7)” or get her to jump a hoop to show she is not socially retarded by teaching her a secret hand shake that you will test her on later.” -Dchipy

“As an opener, maybe tell her about the meaning of the ring(s) that she’s actually wearing. Seed the extra info for later, maybe even have her help you cold read other girls in the bar.” -CloverThief

“It works a little better on a day 2 although it opens pretty well too. Don’t be afraid to change it up a little bit, skip a finger or ‘forget’ a finger and seed it, then she’ll ask about that finger. or if you’re wearing a ring, purposely skip that finger in the routine and when she asks what it represents, tell her to guess.” -bondurant

“Working on your cold reading skills and reading body language can really help you create a strong impression. It is also very easy to transfer in too another routine.” -vedom

“It’s often a good idea to use your own rings as an example (if you wear any).” -Forte

“Imperative use of disqualifiers and negs during this routine. Think of it as a playful way of getting to know the girl.” -Tobasco1mpact

“If a girl isn’t wearing rings, I sometimes take off the 3 I wear and tell her to put them on any of her 5 fingers, then I go into it.” -drewder

Hands down (no pun intended), this routine gets the Famous PICK UP LABS STAMP OF APPROVAL.  The Sneak is an incredible guy and I can’t wait to see him at the 2009 Fall Conference.  Seats are being booked left and right.  This conference is going to sell out fast.  This is also your chance to meet all the Stylelife Coaches and STYLE as well.  I went to the Spring Conference and it has kicked my game up to a level I never thought I would get to.

Come back later this week and find out what it means to FALL INTO A BURNING RING OF FIRE.  Also a new routine will be posted.

Keep Framing and Gaming.

I first would like to personally thank all the guys that helped out with Style’s Street Team. The last 3 weeks have been quite the treat and it is an honor to give you material straight from the man, himself.  And, it is really cool to see a bunch of guys come together for the good of the community.  We will shortly be reading the outcome in the new version of The Rules of the GAME.

This week, I thought we would try something that has been around, been tested, and I still test it (seriously, I ran it on the smoking hot girl that left my bed this morning).  I have yet to find anyone that doesn’t like this one.  I am so damn excited to give this to you, I am not even going to delay on this.  Below is the PDF of greatness and once you click on it, make sure your ass is strapped in.  You will want to go from 0-60mph  in 1.4 seconds to open your next set(s).

Without further DELAY. . . Click it, but be warned, results do vary.  Axe Body Spray Commercials were made from this stuff.

I have seen a few different versions of this from different guys around the block, but The Sneak’s version is the one that I liked the best.  I even tossed in the EXTRA CREDIT KINO just for you guys.  There’s been a few guys that have seen me run it and instantly pull numbers, schedule day 2’s, and more. . .

I know you aren’t going to want to get on the computer much because you have been out with the girl of your dreams after running this, but come back and post your results by MONDAY, AUGUST 3rd so the rest of the world can see how awesome this routine is.  Tuesday I will probably be swamped with all the results and you can then see how it panned out.

Keep Framing and Gaming

The results were in and as I expected The Sneak’s routine did well. You guy’s asked for it, so we added a routine to use AFTER the opener. Will have something special for you later in the week so check back, also will be at the Ross Jeffries seminar this weekend. So if any readers are there make sure to say Hi. Will let you guys know how it goes.

Ok on to the results!

1).  Did it work successfully?

Five out of FIVE testers said YES it was a success.  5/5  

2).  How difficult is this routine to master? 

All FIVE testers said it wasn’t hard, but it wasn’t the easiest either.  3.5/5 for EASY.  

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

Five out of FIVE testers said they did NOT get called out.  5/5  

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

Out of FIVE testers, everyone said it has a strong hook point.  4.5/5 for STRONG.  

5).  Rapport building strength?

FOUR out of FIVE testers said it was pretty strong, while ONE tester stated it was weak.  3.5/5 for STRONG. 

6).  Your PUA-AFC level?

AFC=1, PUA=1, In Between=3  

7).  Number of times tested?

Out of FIVE testers, it was ran a total of 25 times.  

8).  Any additional insight?

Learn it like you are learning lines for a play/musical/song. You are much more confident when you learn it properly.  

This mission gave me a better understanding of how powerful leading, teaching, and cold reading can be when used properly. 

Grading:

Hook point strength 4.5 out of 5

Rapport building strength 3.5 out of 5

Experience level needed to perform 3.5 out 5

Busted level 0 out of 25

Having seen The Sneak use this in person, I knew you guys would dig it. It graded a little higher than I thought for Experience level needed. You do have to be able to open, then can launch right into it. I have tried it and all I had to remember the 2 words FLOW and MOLD, and ran from there.

Glad to give this DHV routine the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval!

What up! Sneak here, and here with one of my all time most prized Demonstration of Higher Value routines.

It’s odd because I thought I’d keep this one a guarded secret forever, yet when Bravo asked me to contribute a routine to Pick Up Labs it immediately came to mind. But you deserve it considering the work you’ve all done here has been awesome. You’re really “separating fact from fiction” as it says right on the site’s top banner. So now it’s time for me to put my material on the line and see if it holds up under your rigorous testing.

Enjoy my coveted Qualities of Movement DHV!
