Did you ever misunderstood IOI ?

Don't just trust one IOI... trust multiple. For example, I find the standard hair touching/curling is a really positive, almost unmistakeable IOI. Let's say she's doing it over and over... you might think "Well maybe she just does that.. or maybe she is just feeling that nice conditioner she uses. It can't be an IOI...."

But she's also smiling, is turned towards to, etc... you're in. Go for it. Escalate. If you get 2-3 different IOIs together, you're golden. When you start seeing a lot, you're good.

I honestly can't say I've misunderstood any IOI's that I can remember. I always wait for multiple. It usually works and many IOIs are unconscious by women. They don't think "Oh, let me twirl my hair so he knows I'm interested"...

You know what's the best IOI? When you try to kiss her and she kisses back.

A story won't help you.

IOI can be a good judge of your current SMV, but only if it's coming from multiple women and you have a constant to judge from.

On average, I notice a lot of IOI in my direction because it's usually not subtle.

Days I miss the gym for a long period of time, I notice a lot less women quick glancing in my direction and notice my plates are less overall aroused just to be in my presence.

When I stick to my routine, almost all women I pass smile, quick glance, or best of all, hold longer eye contact (best indication of sexual interest from strangers period).

Short term, that's how I gauge my SMV. If you're not noticing any IOI signs or they aren't clear, your SMV is lower than you think. Go lift.

Quite the opposite actually. If you ever think your getting signs its because you are. More often than not, and I'm guessing you're not the exclusion to the rule, you're not confident enough to go for it.

Example. She held eye contact with me ridiculously long. In every goodbye hugged me and then looked into my eyes. Countless other cute flirtatious instances that inwardly make me want to punch myself in the nuts for never taking the chance.

Counter example. Another girl smiled, responded very warmly to my approach, conversation and advances. Eye contact, hugging and flirting. Green for go. Made a move on her at a party while dancing, she rejects me infront of people we know, and I have to see her for the rest of the night.

Honestly, most of the time you have to realise that very rarely will she come out and say I want your dick. You're already great if she does. Just trust your gut and if at any time you begin to rationalise otherwise definitely fucking do it.

If I think I'm getting an IOI, I act as if I know I'm getting them. Even something as small as a woman making eye contact with me for a second, in my head km thinking, "She wants some dick". Why do you want to hear stories about failure? It's better to assume everything is an IOI than it is to wonder if you're misunderstanding things and miss out on some pussy because you're worried about fucking up.

The only IOI that I really count as an IOI is if she doesn't break eye contact with me and occasionally glances at my lips

One IOI doesn't mean anything. Multiple IOI have to appear at the same time.

For example, you can't really trust the hair touching alone as an IOI. A lot of girls just do it subconsciously regardless of who they're talking to. But if she's also smiling at the same time and touching your arm when talking to you, then you're in.
