Cold reads. I re-read the little piece of paper I drew out of the hat. The words cause me to cringe inside, like I had just eaten rotten meat. Back in my prime PUA days I used cold reads a lot. In opening conversations, in juicing them up, or… quite often, … to escalate the relation between myself and the girl.
In the right hands, cold reads can be extremely powerful. It’s a lot more fun to point your seduction gun at a girl and spit out bullets of intrigue, than it is to ramble on and on about someone else’s routine, too. Consider the people that read their horoscopes every week and go “Damn! That is so close to ME one should think the writer KNEW me!” Of course, the writer doesn’t know you at all. Instead he or she merely relies on two general techniques, 1) Communicating at an abstract level, and 2) “cold feeds.”
Quak fortune tellers (are any of them authentic?) rely on the same principles. However, the abstract communication is now shaped more as “cold reads.”
What are the definitions of cold reads then? The question is very simple to answer, and this technique is extremely easy to master in a very short time span. Over the years I have witnessed many aspiring PUA’s that rely on this one simple communication technique to move their conversations forward. Girls will go all fuzzy and warm inside when done right, some will want you badly, and all will think you have supernatural people-reading skills.
And in fact, you do possess those skills. But, cold reading is not the skill itself, it’s the communication channel of that skill set.
Imagine what will ensue when you are able to walk up to another person and have that person smile an authentic and deep smile after less than two minutes, all while he or she is thinking “wow… this guy is amazing!” Well, I know how I would handle that situation - and I’m pretty sure you’d be able to work with it as well. If you have been following my blog for a while, you’ll know exactly what to do.
The process is extremely simple, in fact, it’s so simple it hurts! For now, I’ll walk you through the very soft version to get you started:
- Make an abstract statement about the other person I.E. “I can tell you’re the sort of person that really enjoys life.”
- If the person says “yes” or anywhere along those lines, you say: “Yes, AND…” - if the persons says “no,” you say “BUT…”
- You make another statement about that person. If she said yes, make it more specific than the last one. If she says no, make it a more abstract one.
There you have it - that’s the general structure of cold reads! Amazingly simple, and yet one of the most powerful and fun-to-use communication methods in the seduction - and fortune telling - world.
In PUA Cold Reads - Part II I will walk you through some more advanced cold read stuff and show you exactly how the cold read technique works through examples of some of the cold reads I have done with great success in the past.

Cold reading has always shocked everyone. And what’s not to be amazed about? Whether or not the person can’t actually read your thoughts as he would read words in a novel, there’s still something unquestionably striking about a individual who can read you immediately.
