Post subject:  IOIs the Complete List

Okay so many people ask, so here is a complete list of IOI's as defined by Mystery in his book "How to get beautiful women in bed." The Mystery Method. Hope this helps you all. It helps me to review them every now and then.

*She reinitiates conversations when you stop talking
*She giggles
*She touches you
*She tries to get rapport and build comfort with you
*She looks back and glances at you repeatedly ever minute or so
*She tosses her hair (to see if you will look)
*If eye contact happens from a distance, she holds it for a second
*She smiles at you
*She stands nearby (proximity)
*She interrupts your conversation from nearby or laughs at something you said
*While walking by, she turns her body toward you or brushes against you
*She says something to her friend and they both giggle
*She asks you for a light or the time or in any way initiates a conversation
*While you're talking to her group, she is particularly talkative (to get your attention)
*She asks you for your name
*She asks you your age (make her guess)
*She compliments you
*She is playful and tries to challenge you

*She mentions your girlfriend without knowing if you actually have one
*When she has to go to the bathroom, she comes back
*She holds eye contact for longer periods of time when she speaks with you
*She avoids mentioning her boyfriend
*If it comes up that you like somthing, she mentions that she likes it, too, or needs someone to show her how to do it

Passive IOIs

*Her friends go (to the bathroom or bar or dancing) but she stays
*She moves to see you and hangs with you for extended periods
*If you move, she follows you or waits for you
*She doesn't flinch or pull back if you happen to get too close

Yeah that took me a little while to type that out but I think it's worth it. It reminded me of the passive IOIs that I've overlooked. But tonight I won't.

Excellent list. Seems like you covered everything.

Great job J, very comprehensive :)

I would add:

1) She repeatedly mentions her boyfriend or something he does (she's trying to fight her attraction for you, or get you to qualify yourself). Most accurate when she shows other IOIs beforehand. Not to be confused with the "everything is an IOI" school of thought.

2) She mirrors you with her actions.

Post subject:  Mirroring, what happened to me

What about "mirroring". I'm no veteran PUA but my common sense and life experience has bagged me my fair share of the honey pot from just observing.

Sitting opposite a "victim" in my local, i casually tossed ,my right leg over my left. If a woman is checking you out and she is subconsciously trying to join you on your wavelength, she will follow suit if she wants you. Next, i'd leave it for 30 seconds, then change legs, if she wants u, she'll copy u. I did this a few months ago with huge success, I actually closed on the deal, got her to do the approaching, all i had to do was reel her in, all this and technically I never said a word to her.

I'll tell you all what happened, and I doubt that you will find an easier way of picking up a 10/10.

I went out for a few beers with 2 mates, Phil is probably a 6, Daz who's probably a 3 and myself, maybe a 7. We all sat down in the beer garden and occupied a bench in the middle with myself facing front and a 10/10 and a 6/10 on a smaller bench. Phil (rather drunkenly) wanders to the toilet and for the next 20 mins, I casually engaged in a little light hearted banter with Daz for this time until Daz starts wondering if Phil had abandoned us. So off Daz went to go find him whilst I held down the fort on the bench.
Daz was taking maybe another 15 minutes and I was in the tricky situation of "my pints about drunk, shall i surrender the bench to the 2 ladies, then go find Daz", or stay put. I stayed put and spent the next 5 mins ringing him (no answer). Daz btw is stone deaf without his hearing aids.
All the time I was eyeing up a certain 10/10, trying to stay calm, look unfazed and occassionally giggle to myself. I noticed the 10/10 was mirroring me. This made me chuckle more. So I did it all the more, rather too excessively but hey I was laughing my arse off coz the 10/10 carried on mirroring, each time i would laugh more and more. Then, they started whispering/chatting amongst themselves, I had now set the seeds of curiosity in a womans mind (either great news or bad news, depends on your situation).
I carried on the mirroring for maybe 10/15 mins, also, all the time thinking "the bastards have left me in the pub and buggered off without me".
Eventually, 10/10 came over and asked me why I was laughing so much.
I looked her in the eye and told her the lot. She laughed so hard she probably let out a little "pee".

As I said above, I set the wheels in motion, she made the 1st move and I didn't have to say anything to her until she opened her mouth to speak. Phil had gone home, but Daz came back just in time to see me pull this honey. In Daz's admiration he got the round in and I got her n#.
It was the most effortless way I have ever scored on a night out and she was probably the fittest 42 year old I will ever see in my lifetime.

Maybe my pick-up should deserve a sticky in another category.

Yep. Mirroring is an IOI.

Another thing is, if she repeats the NLP words you throw at her back at you :shock:

Like you say "open" and "surrender" and "penetrate", and she'll repeat them back in the context of her own sentences :P

You know you are SO ON if she does that.
