The SD Card

Archive for January, 2009

Okay, so the other day my friend gamer and I decided to try something different. I was reading the Mystery Method, and the one thing he suggested doing was giving your wing $200, and earning it back by approaching sets. Now I’ve read a lot of books on game, and have been trying different things for quite a while. One of the openers I read somewhere had to with a bed that you had a friend have going, so I decided to combine the two things.
So here is what gamer and I tried:
We decided to try to discern the women’s relationship status based on a quick read of her body language, clothing, and so forth. So he and I would approach sets, and say that we were bastard psychology students and that we had a bet going. And that that was to see who is better at telling whether or not a girl with single without asking out right, and then we would ask a relationship status in exchange money accordingly. This is a great way to motivate yourselves to approach and meet new women. For us, it was also an exercise in social calibration to see how much we could tell about a person without asking a direct question. And if you just so happen to be into cold reading, games like this will also make you better when attempting to cold read an individual.
I hope you guys enjoy this little game, and I hope it motivates you, both you and your wing, to get out there and work on your approach skills as well as calibration.

Welcome to the SD card. This is my humble attempt to share what I learn about the world of social dynamics as I learn it. I’ll try to stay away from theoretical discussion, as I understand that it helps very little in the field, however I will post relevant thoughts from time to time. My goal is to chronicle what I learn for those who may learn from it. Any routines that I post on this blog henceforth have either been field tested by myself, a close friend, or a fellow PUA somewhere in Internet land. With introductions out of the way, I will now share with you a personal routine of mine. It’s a cold reading routine that I’ve developed myself in this field tested several times, I hope you all enjoy!

PUA:(take her hand gently into yours) a friend of mine used to work as a psychic, and now he just does readings for people on the side, and he told me that throughout all his experience he believed that you could see into someone’s soul just by looking into their eyes. Now, I don’t know about all that but he did teach me a lot about what you could tell of someone’s character just by looking at their eyes.

HB: really? What do my eyes say about me?

Guide to eye colors:

Brown: practicality, down-to-earth, laid-back, sensitive, caring

Green: sensitive, compassionate, caring… the most important thing to work into this eyecolor is that people with green eyes have a tendency to need to help their friends six the problems they have in their lives.

Blue: calm, energetic, people with blue eyes often hear that it’s like they can see into another soul, I call that the piercing eye effect.

Hazel: a combination of the characteristics of blue and green.

Now please bear in mind that this routine isn’t totally fleshed out and that it’s still very much a work in progress, and a lot of what I do when I do cold reading comes from experience. Some important things about cold reading are:

1. Build a basic profile based on clothes, posture and grooming habits.

2. Pay attention to feedback. Watch your client’s body language for indications as to whether or not you got a hit or miss

3. When you whittle the eyecolor guide down to your own list of characteristics, which I strongly encourage, please remember that when you read your HB don’t just list off a bunch of characteristics; instead, couch them as insightful sounding truisms that show an understanding of her character. I hope that with time and practice it serves you well.
