Although it's easy to know when a lower SMV ( at least a woman who believes she is lower value than you ) woman likes you, I have a lot more trouble determining this for woman of the same perceived SMV - or higher perceived SMV.
To explain this simply, I sometimes don't know if they are playing hard to get or just flat out dismiss me because they see me as lower SMV. The problem is, women at my level or higher level than me are obviously never as needy than those below me.
For example, there is this hottie on campus that I know for some time that always gives me her coldest bitch face, that used not even to answer my greetings in person( like she did not hear them ), ignored my request on social media etc .. Honestly a brutal attitude that a woman would give to a creep. Actually I never had any discussion except for some class matter once in a while.
Thought "Fine, I'm creeping her out" I just satyed polite and went on my life.
But then after, I catched her checking me out from time to time ( glancing sideways etc..), she locked eye contact with me for far longer than usual on multiple occasions, she also did those kind of accidental brushes / touches etc ...
My question is, as a general rule and not necessarily for this one case:
- Are there clear cues to know when you are being flat out dismissed because of lower perceived SMV or when a woman is playing hard to get, waiting for you to pursue her ?

I know she would jump on Chad's cock right away but I'm just a 7/10 dude, so the only girl willing to jump me are 5-6 .
