"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'm concluding that getting a text after meet-up is a false IOI

I'm starting to figure out that getting one of those texts from a chick after a meetup where she says she has a great time/had so much fun/smiley smiley doesn't actually mean a whole lot.

The last 2 chicks that did this to me I never actually saw again.

And one of them was OBSESSED with :) :) :) :) :)
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I don't believe in IOI's anymore because of shıt like that. Texting is too easy to fake. Way too easy!

You want real IOI's?

Answer: Consistent dates, a pleasant, fun time, getting sex, and overall a great relationship without much craziness, power struggling and confusion.

Anything else should be questioned and be pointed towards Nexting.

You better make sure you're getting the sex with it, otherwise you can get the first 2, think they're IOIs, and then find yourself in the friend zone.

This so much. My friends fall for this fake IOI shvt all the time and I warn them about it. Yet, they can't handle the truth and get owned lol. The only IOI's I consider are what vlad posted.

I met up a very pretty woman..chatted for about 15 minutes.....just randomly on my way to the bank. I helped her get a cab....I got her to give me her number. When the cab showed up, she gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek....I was surprised by this hug so I felt awesome. So the next day, I had some drinks and decided to call her just for the sake of it. Asked if she made it home safely, blah blah... Then she starts throwing out date ideas....like asking me if I'm busy this weekend, telling me she's free on mondays....obviously I told her I had plans already for new years but.....long story short....is having a girl answer ur call and actually maintain a purposeful conversation a true IOI? I'm not so sure....I guess it depends on the girl, and you will only know that she digs you after the sex. That's pretty much the rule.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

That's a great IOI, sure. But never take one IOI as golden. Let them culminate one by one until you actually start dating, banging, etc. it really is very simple. Think of each one as a click towards being pointed to your destination. One IOI shouldn't make you think you're George Clooney!

If you want to be pro at reading IOS, start learning body language and micro expressions. Micro expressions are very quick movements of the mouth and eyes that communicate specific emotions. People can hide their feelings, but it's damn near impossible to hide micro expression, as they happen so quick and subconsciously.

On the most basic level you'll be able to pick up her mood and interest in the current situation. At an advanced level you'll be able to know (with near certainty) when she is lying and how she REALLY is feeling, emotionally, during conversations.

These are the same tactics police officers, FBI, etc, use to detect lies and it's also why poker players wear glasses to hide their eyes.

Pay enough attention, and practice. Eventually you'll pick up on it without even thinking about it. You'll be aware of someones true feelings towards you simply by "reading" them.
In some ways it's a curse, because you don't always want to know, but you can't help it.

Women are much better at lying than men, and it's harder to get a read on them, and there are a lot of reasons why that is.
Mostly it has to do with HOW they lie, but I won't go into it unless someone really wants to know.

Post it. I really want to know.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I'm about to head out for New Years, and instead of typing something quick i'd rather wait and put a lot of thought into it.

Read up on micro expressions to understand the basics. I'm sure there are good youtube vids with examples.

Women are harder to read because they lie differently. It seems like they lie almost out of habit, on auto pilot. They know what they need to say, so they say it without thinking. They give their "tells" after, when most people give it before and during.
