Best Cold Reading line(s)?

[Fader]

Let's get a solid thread like we did with the reccomended reading one. At a set date we will close it and move it to a new forum (possibly).
We are considering creating a seperate forum just for the best of the threads we create.
These can be coldreads you created yourself or one's you got from somewhere else.
Here's mine:
Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary and reserved. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. You pride yourself on being an independent thinker and do not accept others' opinions without satisfactory proof. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety, and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. Disciplined and controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside.

Good idea. After this thread we need to do one for Mini Cold Reads/Future Adventure Projections/Banter.

fad3r, you left out the second half, which I like to use all by itself.
"Your sexual adjustment has presented some problems for you. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a strong need for other people to like you and for them to admire you."

In the classic writings archive Style refers to a book on cold reading, quote as follows:
"There's a book on cold-reading that basically breaks down all problems to Health, Wealth and Relationships. And each have an Internal and External component. (This btw is the book where Mystery got his theory on this from.) And you need to start DIVIDING your attention between ALL of these to be successful in any single one."
Anyone know which book this is? Sounds like it contains some useful material.

I have been doing cube lately and it's really cool. HB's start making those doggy faces Ross is talking about
Either way cold reading is great for rapport. Maybe begginers should work on their inner game first, but you can try these lines on your co-workers ... or hookers
