So! From my interpretation, cold reading is essentially an elaborate and very effective fraud. It's all about getting her to think that you've actually managed to interpret some deeper truth about her personality, whereas actually you've just made some pretty broad generalizations.

So, let me quickly reveal the reasoning behind this routine of sorts (it occurred to me long before I'd even heard of the pickup community): Horoscopes are full of shit, yet millions of people around the world believe them. Why? Because they rely on telling people things that apply to absolutely everyone, but no-one wants to admit, so they think it's just themselves. If you say these things in a manner that's enough attuned to her lifestyle, she's going to believe you've gleamed some deeper truth about her.

I discovered 2 very common themes that psychics and the like use for cold reading:

1. "Deep down, you crave the attention and respect of those around you"
and
2. "You have large amounts of unused creative potential"

Everyone thinks these things about themselves, but no-one wants to admit it because it would be weird. And girls love to be understood. So this is what I told an HB9 with whom I wanted to create an emotional connection:

(it doesn't matter what she says before this, you just need to look meaningfully into her eyes after she finishes speaking, and then say this)
"I think I'm really beginning to understand you. Not just on the surface level; I think I know what sort of person you really are. I'm willing to bet that throughout your whole life, you've been needing admiration and respect from other people. You talk to your friends, and you've always wanted to be on top; you've always wanted to be that loved, sexy girl that all the guys wanted and all the girls wanted to be. It's in your nature to want to be something more. And you've tried. You've tried really hard to be that person, and it feels like every time you have, you've been shut down. You've tried over and over again to get people to like you more, and it's always come back to smack you in the face. You're over the humiliation. So you pretend. You pretend to be okay with your situation. You pretend that you like where you are, you like your friends, you like your job, you like your life. But you can't seem to quell that fire burning inside of you; you just can't stamp out that thought in the corner of your mind that maybe, just maybe there's something better than this. You claim to like your friends, but deep down (Note: 'Deep down' is possibly my favorite phrase. It works magic), you wish you were that classy, mysterious woman in the red dress that turned guys' heads. You really do wish that guys would chase after you and girls would look up to you. And no matter how hard you try, you really can't shake that thought."


There are, of course, exceptions. Some of the HB10s you see walking around really DO have massive self-esteem. They really do think they are that chick that everyone else wants to know better. And this routine wouldn't work on them. It's more designed for the larger proportion of females in this world, the ones with far lower self esteem than they should have.

And, it works. After I pulled this routine off, she (Nicki) simply gazed at me, gobsmacked, for about 5 seconds, before saying "...yeah". Conversation became a lot easier after that, and the emotional connection had been pretty heavily established.


So yeah, what do you guys think?

Hit the nail on the head there. The strange thing is I actually made a profession through cold reading people for a while. I stopped when I realized that i was being insincere,

Sometimes, I like to jot down things that i think everyone feels about themselves and then use it later. It is nice to switch things around a bitr, keep it fresh.

What are some examples?
To be honest, having a list of so called universal truths would be immensely useful.

One is "You listen to music in order to escape the boredom of reality" I mean who doesn't do that.

It can be difficult to think of some but I find the best way is to look at the things you do and see whether other people do the same thing.

Another is " You have had relationships with people you thought you will be with forever. The more you have been disappointed, the more difficult it has been to look again". Who hasn't had that happen?

I just made those two up, as I said I used to be a paid "psychic" so had to make up cold reading scripts on the spot.

I know that I may be ranting but i sometimes find it useful to hold her hand whilst you are doing this. If you want you can examine her hands like a palm reader if you want.

When you are done tell her that "I can see something to do with your future relationship, I see a man..." Then suddenly lose the grip on her hand and place it on the table cushion etc; then say "Maybe later".

She will chase you to find out what you were about to say. It can be incredibly powerful. I have found that they will literally throw their phone number, address everything in your face. Infact, some will actually offer you sex just so you will tell them what you were about to say. It is crazy effective and the morning after, you can make up a script.

Yes, I am evil

That's actually amazing. Will try it.

Well glad I have been of help, it will be good to know how you get on.

Very very useful thread so far. Glad I read it.

I honestly think cold readings are a GREAT way to DHV, build rapport, and generate interest. i had great success when i used the simple cube test while waiting in the bathroom and she was the one who asked for my number.

HB10's get the feeling they're only wanted for their looks, much like celebs are wanted for their fame. The hot ones are usually the ones with the biggest identitycrises as they usually don't bond with people over interests, or not on a primary base at least.

Use stuff like "more to you than meets the eye", "sometimes you wanna take off your mask", "few people really know you".

For obvious reasons, avoid saying too direct that this is because she is so insanely beautiful. But all in all hot people are people too, with the rare occasion that one or two HB10's might've actually fooled themselves into believing they're perfectly happy. They're worth skipping, try the next one.
