Ten Commandments

A set of instructions known as the "Ten Commandments for Con Men"has been widely attributed to Lustig

* Be a patient listener (it is this, not fast talking, that gets a con man his coups).
* Never look bored.
* Wait for the other person to reveal any political opinions, then agree with them.
* Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones.
* Hint at sex talk, but don't follow it up unless the other person shows a strong interest.
* Never discuss illness, unless some special concern is shown.
* Never pry into a person's personal circumstances (they'll tell you all eventually).
* Never boast - just let your importance be quietly obvious.
* Never be untidy.
* Never get drunk.


Do you agree with these "commandments"? Keep in mind, that con men are confidence men.

Are you trying to imply that PUAs are con men?

Be fluid as water.

At times i will agree with some of the above commandmands and other times i will strongly disagree with them. what ever mindset i need to have during a certain time i adopt those.

so my answer is: I don't know lol. (neither disagree or agree)
