Style’s Best Friend’s Test

I’ve used this again recently just for kicks and really forgot how well it can work if you can succefully play off of it when its done. I might have posted this before but its worth reposting for those who don’t already own The Game by Neil Strauss.

The Best Friend Test by Neil Strauss

I like this one, it’s like the cube, it falls into the category of being interesting and true.

Style’s Best Friends Test

YOU: OK, I have to ask: how long have you guys known each other for?

(If you think they’re sisters ask: Are you guys sisters or best friend)

THEM: Blah blah blah

YOU: See, I knew that

THEM: How could you know that?

YOU: Ill show you. In fact, Ill give you the best friends test

THEM: (Gets all excited)

YOU: OK¦ (pretend you’re just about to ask a serious question)

Do you both use the same shampoo?

THEM: (Look at each other and then open their mouths to answer)

YOU: OK, the answer doesnt matter- you already passed.

THEM: Huh?!

YOU: See, if you werent so close to each other, youd have kept eye contact with me as you answered. But when two people have a connection, they look at each other first- kind of like youre doing right now.

THEM: (Laugh)

YOU: See, you dont even need to say anything to each other. Its like you just communicate telepathically.
