Mini-Cold Reads For Attraction

If you have ever read a newspaper horoscope and felt that it was accurate, you have experienced a cold read type of statement.

The reason that it works so well, is because of the use of ambiguities… basically statements which can have multiple meanings. When a person hears such a word or statement, their mind will fill in the meaning from their own personal experience. Thus it seems to be a true statement about them.

In NLP there is a method of speaking in ambiguities called the Milton Model, named after one of the most famous hypnotists Milton Erickson. When modeling Erickson's hypnosis it was discovered that he used ambiguities in language to not only build rapport, but to put people into a suggestive state (trance). So you might realize that cold reading is also hypnotic.

Different Types Of Cold Reading Used In Pickup

There are two distinct types of cold reading that can be used in pickup. The first type really aren't cold reads for getting rapport, they are a modified version used to build attraction. Some people call these mini-cold reads.

Mini-Cold Reads For Attraction

Basically these are playful teasing comments, often that don't make a lot of sense, but are a fun way to escalate sexual tension through banter.

Examples:

(1). "You and I would never get along."
(2). "You're a bad girl, my mother warned me about girls like you."
(3). "You're a shy girl aren't you? You guys need to get her out more."
(4). "You're like Velma on Scooby Doo, always trying to figure things out."
(5). "You guys are trouble."

WARNING: If you do this at the wrong time you will destroy rapport and blow any chance you had with her. There is an art to playful banter, and part of that art is knowing when it's time to drop it.

Cold Reading To Build Rapport

In rapport phase you want to use these to have her feel like you really understand her and so she will open up to you. You'll need to be a very good listener during this process so when you hear a commonality, you can point it out to her so she realizes it. Otherwise she won't notice.

Use this as a tool for a deep and intimate conversation, women dream about meeting a man who can talk with them in this way.

Utilize a mixture of general statements and subtle leading questions to gain information on the subject by either verbal or non-verbal means (such as tone of voice, facial expressions, body language, etc).

Example: Using The Cube as a framework for cold reading. CR = Cold Read

PUA: where is your cube located HB: it's floating in the air, above the horizon PUA (CR): Some of your ideas tend to be a bit unrealistic HB: OMG, that's so true. I have these ideas… and when I tell my friends they say I'm a total dreamer, all the time.. blah blah PUA: That's too funny, my friends tell me the same thing when I tell them about… blah blah

What if she didn't agree or was neutral (you have to calibrate the tone of her voice and body language)

HB: Ummmm, I guess so PUA:(CR) Fortunately, you are a person who has learned her strengths and limitations, so you seldom take on a project which you aren't sure you can complete. HB: Yes. Exactly! Even since I was a kid I won't do things that I'm not sure I can do. People know me as the practical one. When we plan our trips to Costa Rica they always come to me to make sure it will get done. PUA: Costa Rica is where I had my most amazing travel experience… (story) I think it's my favorite country.
