Part 15: IOI’s and IOD’s
Legend:
What are Indicators of Interest
In the community there are a number of indicators of interest. These are specific things that some pick-up artists believe are cues that the girl is into you. I will list them here:
Smiling at you
Preening (tossing, twirling or combing her hair)
Scratching the top of her hand
Exposing her neck
Positioning body facing towards you
Laughing at what you’re saying
Touching you
Sucking your dick
Assuming its always on and why you shouldn’t bother paying attention to them
I believe that is a waste of time and that you shouldn’t bother looking indicators of interest. There is only one indicator of interest that I think about. This is if the girl is talking to me then it is on. She’s not walking way and she’s talking to me, it is because she wants me. Even if this is a false belief sometimes, if you believe it, it will manifest itself. We take on so many beliefs that are sometimes negative, instead let’s take on beliefs that will help us.
Edge:
If she’s still standing there, she’s interested (or at least, interested enough.) And you shouldn’t be checking to see if she’s interested, you should lead her to be interested by holding a strong reality and accepting nothing less than having her buy into it. I wrote up a story about why I specifically DO NOT look for indicators of interest from women.

IOD’s: Indicators of Disinterest
Indicators of disinterest are things that a girl will do to show disinterest. The biggest set killer is an IOD of no response at all. Love and hate you can work with. Indifference you can’t. I would suggest if you are getting IOd’s such as back turns or people not paying attention to you that you work on talking louder and talking about cooler stuff. If you are looking to calibrate then if you receive an IOD you should respond with either a IOD and then immediately DHV.

I still can’t believe people think smiling is an IOI. Many people smile at everyone naturally, myself included. It doesn’t mean they’re interested, it just means they’re being polite. Or they’re in a good mood, or they’re thinking about something great that happened to them earlier as they’re talking to you (in which case it would actually be an indicator of being more interested in previous events than the conversation). I understand that these aren’t meant to be paid attention to on their own (eg. JUST exposing her neck doesn’t mean that she’s suddenly interested if the other IOIs aren’t there), but with smiling it’s just completely out there – people smile. Some people smile at everyone. Same with laughing at what you’re saying. If you’re trying to be funny, polite people who are just trying to be nice are going to laugh whether or not they actually think that the joke is stupid.
