Wake Up Q

Hey guys, wanna pick up women? Just have one of these…

A:  A Guitar!

The fact is, just having the case will get the job done.  Play your cards right and you won’t have to play it at all!

Three different times, researchers sent a good-looking 20-year-old guy to a public place, to approach 100 young women aged 18 to 22, to try to get their phone number.

And each time he carried a different prop, to see how it affected his game.  Check out the results . . .

1.  When he carried a GUITAR CASE, he was successful 31% of the time.

2.  When he had NOTHING in his hands, he was successful 14% of the time . . . less than HALF as successful as the guitar.

3.  And when he carried a sports duffel bag, he only got numbers 9% of the time.
