I'm old, 45. I was in prison for many years lifting so I got that going for me. My preference is late teens to early 20s, I can't help what I like. I never cold approach girls that young though. I wait for IOIs. Anyway, this girl on the bus was showing high interest, literally looking right at me and smiling. I never seen her before and I ride public transport regularly. I live near a University so I'm always fishing for approach invites (AIs) with girls I find attractive. I suffer from extreme approach anxiety and I'm trying to get over it by opening girls who show interest. Just opening them, no pressure, maybe a neg or two. So I open this girl. I end the encounter with a compliment, no close, and I think nothing of it. I don't want to go into details of how I know she was stalking me but let's just assume she found out what bus I take home and took this bus in hopes that I would open her again. So I see her, I open and I neg her with "are you stalking me?" Lol. But when I go for the number close she denies me. Still a win for me because I closed. I have reason to believe women in peak hypergamy stalk (orbit?) potential Alphas. I'm very aware of this because I've noticed patterns with girls ever since I swallowed the red pill. I'm still trying to rebuild my life after prison so I just started practicing game but have been studying it obsessively for the past year. As a kinda hobby I would use body language, IOIs, and subcomunications to toy with girls as I went about my day to day activities. Then I would notice some girls, at my gym, walking by my house, at the coffee shop I go to every morning etc. Girls do this but are very self conscious about it because they do it out of cowardice. Maximizing rejection was a dangerous game back in the day. My question is do you think she denied me because I stripped her of plausible deniability for stalking? Just curious. Idgaf about the girl.
