SO the theory that a girl who is looking and smiling and touching your hand is single and wants to be approached, is just that...a theory with no basis in fact.

My theory: No single girl really wants to be approached unless you resemble Craig David.

Sorry if it's bunk to you. But, it sounds more like bitterness than expertise. If you approach, talk, there's eye contact, and she's making excuses every few seconds to brush on you with her hands, yes, it's a good indicator.

If you'll actually READ, you'll note the end statement to that sentence. And as a 15 yr old (20 years ago for me), a girl wouldn't have had the sense at that age to do that anyhow.

I've seen a ton of comments recently that suggest a lot of guys on this forum have no idea when a woman is throwing off her "I want you to come over here" signals, so they just randomly hit on women and hope for the best.

If you believe that approaching women is a totally random numbers game please share your experiences. Perhaps the rest of us can help you out and make life a little better for everyone (you won't have to fear rejection so much, and the ladies won't have to worry about getting so many unwanted advances).
I have no clue whatsoever. Good thing I'm not in the market.

Yup. It's true.

If there's really no way to tell then why do I have such a high rate of success? Because of looks? Let's see...I'm skinny, untoned, going pre-maturely grey, and wear ugly old glasses because I can't afford new ones. The only thing I could possibly have going for me physically is my face (which is partially obstructed by my glasses anyway).

My personality vasilates between shy and awkward to outgoing and charming all depending on how I'm feeling about myself that day. And yet women find me attractive every day of the week and if I approach them they're receptive 10 times out of 10.

Figure that one out!
Like I said..........I'm clueless.

Are you not-so-subtly showing these women the keys to your Maserati when you approach them?

Of course!!! That must be it! "Are those your keys in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

They would have to be crazy to think I have money. My clothes are almost exclusively from second-hand stores. I don't own a car. I don't own my own house. I don't spend any money on dates and rarely even buy drinks for my best friends.

Besides, the topic of money never comes up, so I don't have to pretend I have money or spend money I can't afford to "impress" a girl. With me it's always been pretty much what you see is what you get, I don't ascribe to any pretense.

They must be attracted to your subtle sense of humor as well.

If you call that subtle the three stooges must be masters of subtlety.

I am a woman myself and to be completely honest. Women can give off a number of responses that have nothing to do with whether or not she is looking for you too talk to her. Not to mention the fact that some women just want attention period and will discard of your advances the minute someone elses comes along. ...Keep in mind I have not done extensive research in this area and I am sure someone else has done a better job of answering this or has some scientifc answer. I just want to put my 2 cents in.

When a woman wears an item that is very colorful, bright or showy....then that means she is interested in being approached imo.

I haven't ever been approached in public, so I don't know. It might surprise me.
