Science of con-artistry

>>8470212
The pre-requisite is sociopathy.
If you have that, then look up good books on how to sell.

>>8470256
> unfacetiously being this much of an ignorant shithead
Sociopathy is a meme, retard.

>>8470256
Protip: pop-books by self-proclaimed experts != science.

You're literally a psych equivalent of popsci retards disproving the maximality of c.

OP am I gonna have to bump this thread for you?

>>8470212
If you need a textbook you can't make it in this business.

Besides a successful big time conman is very very unlikely to write a book.

Why not? If he's been caught he'll right it alright. Also it doesn't have to be from big con man, just some basic stuff on psychology.

So as not to start another thread, give me sources on all sorts of theft, please. Books, vids, websites - anything and everything.

Read it years ago. There is also The Sting a Paul Newman movie.

>>8473244
>>8473274
Those are more of a autobiographies, I'd like some sort of instruction or advice sort of thing.

>>8473244
>>8473274
Where can I find these fucking books? I barely found Weil's Con Man and it was on some shady shitty site. Couldn't find The man who sold the tower.

48 laws of power by Robert Greene has lots of stories that are relevant to what you're looking for. Including the story about the guy who sold the Eiffel tower and the psychology behind the con, and how he was able to achieve the con by taking advantage of human nature.

Not nearly specific enough.

Social Cognition: Making Sense of People by Ziva Kunda

If you constantly find yourself in the friend-zone, don't bother trying to become a conman. If you can't convince/trick the opposite sex into becoming involved with you, you're not going to con anyone.

> if you don't like who you are - don't struggle, just be yourself and die with cock in your mouth
Back to /medieval religious beliefs/, faggot.

>>8474564
Who are you quoting?

>>8470212
48 laws of power has many examples

>>8474564
What I'm saying is, you should try to master something as easy and basic as getting a girlfriend before you attempt to con people. No one has ever been conned by an autist with the personality of wet sock.

>>8475030
Same fucking principles apply. Sure, pickup is a better start from ground zero then conmanship but nobody said it wasn't.

>>8475047
Then what are you getting mad about? Anyone thinking about being a conman shouldn't bother until they can regularly bed women.

>>8475063
Bedding women is a low form of conmanship

>>8475068
Bedding women is to conmanship as arithmatic is to calculus

>>8475243
Exactly, now think why saying
> if you can't do arithmetic, you'll never be able to do calculus
is retarded.

>>8476600
But it's not. That makes perfect sense. Are you saying you can do calculus without knowing how to do arithmetic?

>>8476602
You are literally autistic fucking retard.

If you can't do arithmetic YOU CAN STILL FUCKING LEARN IT and THEN DO CALCULUS. But you said that wasn't possible.

>>8473337
Well I highly doubt there is such a thing. Basically it's always the same, you appeal to the marks greed then swindle them with flair.

>>8476632
No, I was saying that doing calculus was impossible without being able to do arithmetic. I was saying that being a successful conman is impossible if you're not able to get laid. What you should infer from that is that before you waste your time trying to learn how to con people, learn how to get pussy. I wasn't saying it's possible to for you learn how to get laid (even if that just may be the case)

>>8470212

You're thinking of criminology op, and probably marketing. Con-artistry is essentially fraud which is a thing all good marketers know how to do. If you seriously want to study this subject, start with the development of lemon laws and car sales.

>>8471747

That's wrong, the best con men sell their strategies to others, especially if the buyers themselves don't realize what they're doing is unethical. It's all about money.

Sorry, freudian slip
