Have noticed this a couple of times.

Had this one girl at work (HB9 on a bad day) who had her whole back covered in tattoos. I'm talking art exhibition from neck to ass. And she would come in, sit next to me and take everything off except her tank top. She obviously didn't do this just for me, as our office is where people walk by constantly so she likes the attention.

Anyway I was gaming her and she was super interested, like every IOI in the book. At some point I was like "yo so how many tattoos you got" and I could just see the attraction just melt off her face and her vagina just dry up. She said "you don't know how many people ask me that", then closed of her body language and turned to her work.

So my question is, is the overt signals for attention really a shit test? Do girls vet us by seeing who goes for the "obvious questions"? I know we don't give free validation but is being curious a form of that as well?

This has happened a couple of times before so I just want to know what I'm doing wrong
