Cold reading has been used by many guys as a fun way to get women to open up and start talking about what is really important to them.  Women enjoy it, and it helps guys lead into deeper conversations.

The list below are the 11 classic cold reads that have been used for centuries by psychics, mentalists, and horoscopes.

1. You have a strong need for others to like and admire you.

2. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself.
3. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage.
4. Your past relationships have presented problems for you.
5. You can be disciplined and controlled on the outside, and worrisome and insecure on the inside.
6. You sometimes doubt your own decisions.
7. You like change and variety and don't like to be hemmed in by restrictions and limitations.
8. You are independent minded and need proof before accepting others opinions.
9. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others.
10. At times you are extroverted and sociable, while at others you are introverted and reserved.
11. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic.

This week’s best field report goes to Fresh, whose college campus adventure shows why sarging is always better than World Of Warcraft. The whole text of his field report, along with countless other bani reports are in the Members-Only forum, but here’s a clip:

“I wake up, and am trying to find something to do… and seriously, none of my friends are doing shit. Everyone is just vegging, playing warcraft, whatever. Just reminding me how much I hate the thought of being an AFC ever again. Then I just think, "Fuck this!" I'm not doing ANYTHING else with my day. I should get out and sarge…

…Fuck man, Gypsy was right. News DOES travel fast on this campus. I'm laughing, telling this to her, walking up the stairs, I go meet and greet everybody, it feels great, like I'm a distinguished guest everybody's excited to see. I get my food, sit down, and everybody loves me. I'm in state, telling great stories about my weekend, about the interesting people I met at Suzie's earlier, running my iPhone routine (I will link to this soon). My ex is telling me I look great, asking me how long I'm staying. She tells me she actually saw me earlier at Suzie's and thought it looked like me from the back, but kept thinking "Nah, that couldn't be Fresh."

So basically… She saw me gaming a bunch of girls at Suzie's! Can you say social proof?

…She's freshly showered, seriously wearing fucking lingerie when I get back to her room…”
