@WIA that's completely true. I have only come across two individuals that sort of turned it around on me. One is much older than me and saw right through me. However, rather than call me an 'asshole' he actually took an interest in getting to know me.
I see it as if someone is smart enough to see what's going on then you might learn something from them.

No this is not psychic stuff
It's just barnum effect sprinkled with common sense.
The routine Heartiste proposed is more like the 36 questions to connect emotionnally with people.
Look at this vid
Diving further in this kind of art is interesting only if you want to make money out of it or gain massive influence targeting specific peoples.
Tell them too much, they wouldn't understand; tell them what they know, they would yawn.
They have to move up by responding to challenges, not too easy not too hard, until they paused at what they always think is the end of the road for all time instead of a momentary break in an endless upward spiral

It can have a mystical effect on women though, and get her to place you in the "deep spiritual mysterious guy" box. It all depends whether or not you are comfortable with that persona.
Look at someone like Derren Brown, the stage mentalist. He has no problem being mysterious. A lot of guys don't feel comfortable with this, and would rather be more straightforward.
I once watched one of his stage shows called "Something Wicked This Way Comes," in which he brought up a woman onstage, showed her a box, and asked her if she knew what was inside it.
She replied, "It better not be a mouse!'
Imagine that, he was inside her head before they had even met. She thought there was a chance that he already knew she hated mice and had hidden one in a box for her.
Being a cold reader is defining yourself as a certain type of guy that is endlessly fascinating to women. I inadvertently came across tarot game years ago, and quit because it made me uneasy, like the girls were fucking the deck of cards and not me.
So, if it fits your personality, play with it, and see if it works for you. It can be a powerful persuasion tactic. Basically it is an ad libbed mini psychic reading, and even if you deny that's what it is, that is how the girl will interpret it, so be careful. You are now the spiritual guy.
I once did a cold read over the phone for an information operator and she came over to my apartment after work. I was laughing to myself, not believing it was happening.
I have even done card tricks for women where the effect is that you read their mind, and even when I told them it was a trick, and that I couldn't really read their mind, they still got that hypnotized little look when I was done and wouldn't believe it wasn't some magic connection.
With all this kind of stuff, you are kind of hypnotizing the girl, bypassing her conscious thought and skepticism, and speaking directly to her need to believe in a magical spiritual world, so, be warned.

This all comes later on in the interaction with a girl?
You cant really start off a cold approach with this can you lol?
Just walk up to a girl and be like Why do I feel like...??

CardGuy posted a pretty good vid about Orson Wells explaining it in an other thread (
Too bad he've been banned, his view on the subject is great)
Here is an "
How to" :

Grocery story #2
Last week, in line at the grocery again.
The Yuppie professional is buying Cafe Bustelo

WIA - "How is that?"
Lawyerchick - "Oh the coffee, I like it. It's cheap...but I try all sorts of things"
WIA - *sensing that this could go somewhere* - You sound like an expert...
LC - "Yah, I really like Ethiopian, it's got notes of chocolate..."
WIA - "Like wine, or whisky...lemme guess you pretend to be a wine girl, but you're actually a whisky girl"
LC - *blushes/laughs*
She wasn't really my type, so I didn't go forward with it. But I practice this sort of thing, all day.
[...]
......................
I wouldn't call these my top notch approaches/encounters, but I don't ask a chick if she knows where I can find a plus size lingerie shop. (hmm, maybe I should ask that...)
I say stuff that
- Says "hey i'm talking to you"
- It doesn't say, "hey i'm trying to hit on you, give me your number, so I can get in your panties"
It impacts just the same. I'm not hitting the classic attraction switches (leader of men, pre-selection, resources)...I'm just going with cold reads and building on their reactions.
What happens is that even though we're talking about bs, I'm sub-communicating to her that I see her, and I'm curious.
She is telling me by responding whether or not she's interested in showing me more, whether she's interested in talking to me.
And I pick things that she can talk about, that she can glow about.
Because I want to be able to tap into that good energy/talkative part of her. Not the part of her that has to think, that has to catch things.
I know a lot of you guys are smart, intelligent, introverts, analytical, shy, and intellectuals. I am cut from the same cloth.
We, as a group, don't tend to like small talk. We like big talk. Part of the game is learning to make that small talk, the chit chat, into big talk. But not big on an analytical scale, but on an emotional one.
It's quite the challenge to talk about one thing, but purposefully sub-communicate something else. That should be enticing to guys that are INTJ and other sort of introspective personality types.

These are just basic examples. I do this every day, every where I go, because I started to take a general interest in people after having a focused interest in game.

This is an "How to" based on where she is in life, in love, her socio-economic class, the way she is dressed, the car she drive and on and on...
You can extrapolate from littles cues and hit the nail right on the head due to having interact with the "same kind" of women before, it bring social proof because you shows that you konw what you're talking about, it bring fun because there are rarely men approaching women this way
That's really the most efficient way to use it because it's light and funny and there is no "professional" vibe behind it.
Tell them too much, they wouldn't understand; tell them what they know, they would yawn.
They have to move up by responding to challenges, not too easy not too hard, until they paused at what they always think is the end of the road for all time instead of a momentary break in an endless upward spiral
