On Palm Reading...

Hey ilikefrogs, I have an idea...

I live in New Orleans, and every once in a great while I like to go get a reading from one of the locals just to see how they do. And coincidentally, I too am an unmarried, young-ish, straight, non-repulsive, sterile male. So how about this: PM me with the woman's name (if you can remember it), general description, which cemetery she was working, and when, and I'll see if I can get a reading from her as well, and see if she gets the same hit with me. No guarantees, of course (I don't want this to turn into a Mayday experiment), but if you can give me her details, I'll give it a bona fide shot at some point in the generally near-ish future (meaning once I'm good and recovered from Mardi Gras).

OK this is harsh question, but we've had "do you look old" and "do you look gay", so I'm going for it. Sorry for any potential offense it may cause:

Do you look mate-able? Which is a tactful way of saying are you ugly/very obese/otherwise physically unattractive? She may have gone for that guess because you look like you'd struggle to get laid.

YES it's harsh. And I'm sure it's not the case. But we have to cover all the possibilities here.

Yes, that is harsh.

I was in New Orleans yesterday (I live in Biloxi) and because I was with an out-of-area friend I got dragged to more touristy areas and noticed a ton of them about, especially in the French Market. Sometimes they were palmists but mostly tarot card readers (which I suppose is nice because if things don't go well you can deflect blame on the cards). When I was younger I sat for one reading with some obese guy in a cape who didn't even try and in fact was nasty to me for not confirming or denying his guesses. It was appalling. Since then I prefer my New Orleans street entertainment in the form of breakdancers and trombonists.

Incidentally, have you seen the WBC-like protesters down by the gay section of Bourbon? Huge banners ("REPENT")and megaphones and what's worse is that they're wearing shirts that say C.O.P.S. so I'm wondering if that's a church thing or if they're trying to appear to be there in some official capacity. I've got some good pictures of it (along with the Naked Cowboy and the Jesus Loves Porn people).
 
Ilikefrogs, that's an interesting story.

However, I am quite aware of the possibilities and impossibilities regarding palm reading, and I can assure you that sterility can not be read from the hand.

Some palm reader had 1 or 2 times positive feedback link in your case, and then keep this mind. What they do not keep in mind is the negative feedback ... since every palm reader also gets negative feedback. But this negative feedback gets often less 'value' than the positive feedback.

You have me hooked. Exactly what are possibilities regarding palm reading? Feel free to start a new thread if you like.
 
So if a sucker isn't sterile, but is romantic, but not wearing a ring (common), what would the possibilities lead to? He's gay, so won't have children.

Maybe the guess wasn't as important as it was just fishing for more info? Isn't that the point of cold reading?

The fortune teller expects him to answer with some free info, like that he's already got three kids? So then she says his love line looks disturbed- is he divorced? Or maybe she predicts a relationship in his future?

Many years ago I was offered a free palm reading. I handed her my hand with its skinned knuckles, grease under nails and calluses, and she told me I worked with my hands a lot. You just can't put anything over on a good palmist.
