[Deleted member 8853]

Seriously i see you using it often.
"They give me iois"

What the heck does that mean?

IOIs = Indicators of Interest

It's a PUA term.

Examples:

1) A girl makes long eye contact with you (if she is shy, she'll stop when you notice her, if she's not shy, she'll maintain eye contact when you notice her)
2) A girl smiles at you while maintaining eye contact with you
3) A girl plays with her hair while talking to you or while making eye contact with you


You can find huge lists of IOI examples online.

They are inexistent for me

Even for guys who are below average in looks, IOIs do happen if you go out a lot, it's just that you may not notice it when it happens because the girls who will give you IOIs are usually your looksmatch. So if you think that your looksmatch is too ugly for you, you will not even see these women because in your mind, it's as if they don't even exist.

The best way to understand your true value on the sexual dating market is to count how many IOIs you get and rate the women who give them to you the most. Then you can calculate an average score, and so if most of the women who give you IOIs are 4/10, you're probably a 4.5 or 5/10 (when accounting for hypergamy).

In my opinion, this is the best way to know your true rating because guys here can tell you you're ugly or that it's over but some women can be attracted to you at the same time. The ratings that looksmax users give are based on what male models look like, not what women like, it's not 100% accurate.

I've been told by some users that I'm ugly and most say that I'm average but I get IOIs from women who are 8/10 by my own beauty standards, so I have to be 8 or 9/10 at least for these women. Maybe on average, my rating is lower, but for some women I am like a Chad, that is why people say that beauty is subjective.

Bruh you write so many paragraphs

I do it because it's easier to read my posts. I do it even with small posts, and the extra space make them look longer than they really are. I've been doing it ever since my rating thread where people complained that I wasn't using proper text formatting.

These people are narcys who make up IOI's in their heads. "Oh, yeah, that 8 PSL Stacy totally flipped her hair when she glanced in my general direction, holy shit I am such a slayer."

When a girl has been staring at you for over 5 minutes, or in my case, for 1 hour straight, it's very easy to see that it's an IOI.
I once arrived to a skiing class late and the hottest girl in my class made eye contact with me and started smiling, when I approached her, I could tell she was very attracted to me but when I introduced myself, she felt like I wasn't interested in her because I didn't try to talk to her or show signs of interest so she quickly moved on and stopped giving me IOIs.

What I have noticed is that women will give you IOIs to get your attention, then when they finally get it, if you don't reciprocate, they'll feel like you rejected them and they'll move on and stop giving you IOIs.

I know because with the girl who stared at me for 1 hour, I was so afraid of failing that I didn't even show whether I liked her or not, so she kept trying to get my attention and that happened every time I went to class, I would sit not far from her and she would stare directly at me. She never stopped giving me IOIs because I never gave her signs that I wasn't interested and I'm sure she kept asking herself why it looked like I didn't notice her.

IOIs are real but if you don't reciprocate through body language and what you say, then the opportunity will be wasted and you'll feel like you just imagined it even though it was real. But I believe that the more you react to her IOIs and make mistakes, the more you'll improve and finally succeed.

Sometime they also just want validation and once they get it they move on. She can find you cute but not cute enough to be with her so she do that.

I used to think the same too but it's not actually the case, this idea comes from MGTOW and TRP, it's not linked to the real world though. Most women who give IOIs are not doing it just for attention or validation, but like I said, IOIs don't guarantee success because you still have to make a move. But, if you have a 5-10 minute conversation with a girl who gave you IOIs, and you try to ask her out on a date afterwards, there is a very high chance that she will say yes.

What you don't understand is that just because a girl finds you physically attractive doesn't mean she will make it easy for you, you still have to make the first move and lead the interaction otherwise nothing will happen and you'll waste the opportunity. And you can't just ask her out directly right when you meet her either, you have to have a short conversation first.

IOIs are great though because when you approach only girls who give you IOIs, it's less awkward because she expects it to happen, so you won't get rejected unless your personality doesn't match. And if you do get a date, your chances of success on the first date will be higher than if you had met her online because she will trust you a lot more if she met you in person already and she will know your personality a bit so she is less likely to not show up for the date.


Of course though, IOIs don't guarantee anything and bragging about them is pointless because only sex can count as a real success, so we should only brag about sex. IOIs are real though but become worthless if they're not acted upon. Even a rejection can teach you things but inaction won't help you at all.
