Hey dude,

Stop looking for IOI's this is a geeky and ancient pua tactic. True players don't sit around checking for positive signs; they just interpret everything a girl does as a positive and they go after what they want. If you want her, go after her; rejection or not; she'll respect your assertion.

I disagree with this. Frankly, I'm surprised because it is from someone who normally gives good advice on this board. Interpreting IOIs and IODs is important because you use it to adjust your game (i.e. Calibration, one of the most important aspects of pickup) If you get to heavy with kino without enough signs of interest you will just come off as a creep when you could have gotten the girl if you just played it cool a little longer. If you can't identify an IOD, for example, that she is bored with the topic of conversation, you may not switch the topic to something that will get her interested again and you will come off as a boring loser. YOU MUST ALWAYS CALIBRATE.

Now don't get me wrong, I agree you should always ERR on the side of interpreting the grey areas as IOIs and be assertive and aggressive, but your statement basically implies to hell with calibration, and that is just wrong.

You definitely have intellect and I respect that "theory", however I never apply that to my practice when getting with women. I do, say, and talk about what ever it is I feel like talking about that the moment. And 9 times out of 10 they're just happy to be having a conversation with me. Do you think brad pitt has to talk about "interesting topics" to get with women? They can't possibly be bored because they have the pleasure of speaking with brad pitt. Now I'm not saying im brad pitt but because I know my self worth its very rare that I have to tailor my actions based off the actions of another. I establish and control the frame. They laugh at my jokes because I think their funny. They think my conversation topics are interesting because I think they are interesting.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is.. I'm not out their trying to get with women, I'm just putting myself into positions for women to try and get with me. Your approach is 100% correct when you are the pursuer, but when you aren't I believe mines is correct. Are hot women calibrating with your every move? Or are you watching them trying to calibrate to them?

Women calibrate for me my friend. Not the other way around.

P.S. nothing is absolute - so the moment you said "always" your statement lost some credibility.

IOIs and IODs are important to recognize, but it should be on a subconscious level. I usually end up comparing the game to sports, so here is another one. If I am guarding a point guard in basketball, I may be able to sense his ability to drive to the hoop with his left hand. I don't consciously analyze it though, it's more of an intuition based off of prior experience. Similarly with pick up, you get an intuition as to whether they are interested in you or not.
