From what I have learned, that doesn't mean a woman is interested. She could be looking at the guy behind me.

I have enough life experience to know that only certain guys get signals. The rest of us are pretty much going to have to be really awesome in other ways to pull off a cold approach.

"go ahead" signals are great for teh guys that get them, but there are a lot of guys that pretty much NEVER get those signals, and yet we are still told to "keep trying", so on and so forth. The smart ones wise up and learn to meet women through other avenues. Friends, social gatherings, meet ups, whatever.

Even multiple female posters here have said that the only reliable signal is when you've hooked up. I would fish them out but I know you've read them.

She has sex with you. The end.

That was by a female poster and there's others.

Guys get rejected. If a guy who has less going on tries to be aggressive, he'll get rejected a lot. That's all there is to it.

Are you trying to say that cruelty should be rightly inflicted on men who misread signals and try to approach women who have no interest? Because, re-read your posts, that sounds like exactly what you are trying to say.

There is no such thing as getting a cue to approach a girl. However, when you're talking to them it's pretty easy to engage how interested they are in talking to you.

It's not garbage. The thing is that it's generally best to observe body language to determine if we're NOT interested, not if we are. Because, yeah, a lot of men seem to misjudge that we're eyeing them when we're totally not. It's hard to misread someone who's politely giving you the "go away" signals, though (turning her body away, crossing her arms, etc).

Also, if your female friends keep leading you astray, stop following their advice. You clearly hang out with people who don't know what they're talking about. And maybe try pursuing women with whom you've gotten to know through an activity or hobby rather than cold approaching women at bars or clubs.
