"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Have any of you ever had a reading performed by a world renowned psychic? I had a reading a while back and it was pretty accurate. I am curious what your thoughts are regarding psychics? Are they mind readers or do they actually see the future?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

i don't think the future is written

i think some 'psychics' are real good at reading people through 'cold reading'.

i think there might very well be a collective unconscious and that every human has a latent instinct which occasionally manifests as what could be termed 'pshychic' ability.

i think any person selling their psychic abilities should be whipped naked down the street.

Watch the John Edwards is the biggest douche in the universe episode of South Park. It's all cold-reading. A trick.

Also 9-11, where were the psychics when we needed them?

And where are the pinko commies demonstrating against Iran kidnapping them British guys, parading them around, and refusing to let the Red Cross see them?

Oh, wait, they're surrounded by an aura of bulls**t, too, just like psychics.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

They were (apparently) in Iranian water where they don't belong, as opposed to Iraqi water where they also don't belong.

We know the western governments would never parade around a captive. Or execute him and allow video footage of his last moments turn up all over the net in a few days.

Having said that they should let them go.

The Iranian government released two sets of coordinates for where their own ship was, and in the first they were clearly in Iraqi waters; the second they were about 1800 yards north of the first coordinates, just over the Iranian side. Either way, it wasn't a violation that an on-site commander could easily determine. More likely, it was a planned operation after gathering information on British rules of engagements and tactics.

As for Saddam... the Iraqi government paraded him around and then let the video leak. The US government wasn't involved except for some security.

Anyway, just to boot this thread back on track... I agree with Jay Jay, but I think there isn't enough proof either way to draw a conclusion on whether there is a collective subconscious or not. Although Egon Spengler mentionned it, so it must be true.

Actually, it's a comination of cold reading, something sometimes referred to as warm/hot readings, and several other things. The reading, I believe, is largely based on the venue.

If you're at a John Edwards taping, for example, you've probably signed up / called ahead for tickets, written down things for why you're there (to be read or told later, if interesting enough), given your address, etc.

I believe that there are people who may believe that they're psychic when they're just (for whatever reason) natuarally good at reading body language or doing cold readings; there may very well be a lot of pychics who believe that they're genuine; they don't ALL seek to cheat anyone or get paid. But I feel that this is in the minority.

Too bad. I like performing "mind reading" strictly as entertainment...

The only good that I see is that when a "psychic" may tell someone to get themselves checked out by a doctor when people come to them for health issues. There are people out there so convinced that psychics are the answer that they will avoid going to the doctor until their psychic tells them to go.

"For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible."
