Title: Cold reading techniques 101
Post by: jhuskindle on December 05, 2018, 12:06:02 AM
I'm back with another one. This time I'm going to take you through some of the top cold read techniques to identify a cold reader right away.
I will bullet point, some are sayings, some are actions. Remember, not always if they say one of these are they a cold reader, but a combo is surely one.

- Pet names for you: Love, Sweetheart, Beautiful, Darling (unless from the UK, you guys everyone love)
- You are not only beautiful on the outside but the inside as well
- Your kindness has been taken advantage of
- You are intuitive/empathic/whatnot
- All predictions will be approx 3-6 months out, or "summer" or "winter" - Past your review expiration date. Not one will dare predict within review expiration (on lines or apps)
- There is another woman but won't be around long
- Womans name starts with M.
- We have all discussed "hot cold" describer as being a cold read technique, obviously it can be true too but this descriptor is usually used in the first 3 minutes to hook.
- He's been hurt before
- He is afraid to feel that much emotion because it makes him feel vulnerable (though, very rarely this is actually true, its mostly never)
- I just love reading your energy you are so energetic/beautiful bright sunny
- You havent been able to find someone new because you are soulmates with POI
- You tend to bottle things up until they explode thats why you broke up
- Mention chakra or chakra imbalance
- Mention family curse that can be removed
- Mention can balance chakras
- Sorry guys but "soulmate, twin flame, etc" is also bullhonkey. Especially twin flame to justify them "running".
- Scar on your knee

Do you guys have anything to add? I notice people posting "25 readers said this and 2 said the opposite" then the 2 are the likely accurate ones. Most readers are selling you a story. That's why its hard to find that 5% of legitimate readers, and when you do, just go back. Test them on NEAR FUTURE events (such as "how will my party this weekend go?"

Please add anything you can think of below!

Lol this is true and quite funny, actually. It's very easy to drop an anchor line and see the customer hand out info so that the reader can cold read. It's unfortunately very common. However as I've said before, what I have noticed is getting more common are readers who are doom and gloom and tell everyone bad news. If you think about it, telling everyone that their ex won't be back or they won't get the job etc is more likely than the ex coming back and them getting this and that. So it's easier for a reader to give bad news because then people will go "well at least that reader was honest". But were they, or were they just being negative for that reason? Sugarcoating I am no way defending whatsoever, but at least with sugarcoater readers people know not to go back to them again and with forums like these - it's easy to find out fairly quickly if a reader sugarcoats or not. The amount of posts I've seen where people said "this reader said that I wouldn't hear from POI but haha, I heard from them last night", or "this reader predicted that my husband was cheating on me and I found out that it couldn't be further than the truth", is getting more common.

I'm not defending cold reader sugarcoaters, but I think that if the tables are turned - it's just as bad.

And "he is stubborn" "I see him going back and forth, back and forth wanting to message you" "He's scared of commitment" "He's busy with work and family" "A legal situation around him, something legal hes dealing with"

"He's talking to women but needs to realise he misses you".

And if you fiind out your POI has been with someone else this whole time, they'll say "oh it wasn't serious, I didn't see her "energetically"

You forgot the classic opening line, "I sense some distance..."

A more classic one is "I sense some distance, could be physical, emotional or mental or spiritual distance"

Just chiming in. While these can be indicative of fakes, real psychics can also say these things and mean them as well. So, if you hear one or even more than one of these things during a reading, dont just assume they're fakes or bullshitting you. I think you're stretching into dangerous territory with this post, OP.

You've never heard of "he's stubborn" "he's scared of commitment" ?? That is a classic line I've heard about everyone I have called about (including a girl friend with a guy's name lmao)

Agreed I think its the combo that makes it cold, obviously these lines can be normal.

I definitely heard some of those. Including the line: there is a woman whose name starts with M.

WHY is that a common thing that's being said? I'm trying to figure it out but I can't... there's a lot of female names that start with M???

I get that it's ambiguous but why is this specific line common "a woman whose name starts with M". Why don't they change it up to "a woman whose name starts with S" or R or B or any other letter?
So strange :)

Actually I see this a lot as a reader. It’s not a standard cold read technique.

This isn’t a common cold read technique, maybe based on age? Most clients of mine don’t have kids or married but they tend to be under 35 this is still not a common cold read technique. Could work, because everyone knows someone who got married.
