The guy who ignores could be very good looking compare to the others who pay attention.

Idk about "steal" her, as that implies ownership and that was done away with in 1863. However there's very few attractive females out in the world who don't have at least one guy following her around with stars in his eyes. He might be a shy "friend-zoned" type, somebody she works with, or a bf who's on the way out (wether he knows/likes it or not) but most likely you're going to **** somebody off by dating her. Those guys aren't what she wants though or she wouldn't reciprocate your advances , so **** them, don't be shy

The vast majority of "hot" women are involved with a guy in some way or another

Why would a woman who has other options be interested in a guy who's either actively ignoring her or too anxious to talk to her?

That's what I wonder.

And I'm still stuck on how a woman would know that a guy is ignoring her in the first place.

Because they like a challenge and to hunt.

You always want what you can't (seem to) get.

What is so difficult to understand?

Imagine you are a woman, you go out with a new group of people, your new friends group of guys. It is mostly guys and of course, they are all interested in meeting the "fresh meat" in the group. You are at a bar and the guys are all kinda trying to get your attention. Nice but just too easy for you.

Then there is this ONE guy, he looks okay, but he is more interested in talking to the other guys as in talking to you. You think "Why doesn't he want me? What is wrong with me?" and you naturally get interested.

So you either do nothing and wonder all evening and then question your friend who that is and you want to go out with them again and try to get him interested in you.

Or you go over right away, start a conversation with him. He is friendly but not flirty. That makes you wonder even more and you try to get him interested in you.

The other aspect is that many women are insecure and don't want to have a bf who just flirts with anybody. If you are chasing after a guy who isn't obviously flirting with you first time he meets you, that sort of gives you the confidence, he is not a cheater.

I guess the problem is I would never think that.

I've been in that type of situation before and don't assume that everyone wants me, or that a guy who isn't talking to me must be pointedly ignoring me, versus busy talking with others.

Why would you think anything's wrong with you if nearly everyone at the bar is trying to get your attention? Someone would have to be awfully narcissistic to even notice that one guy isn't interested, and to care.

A$$hole guys get lots of women. And then the women complain that they are a$$holes.
Guys ignoring women get women to b interested in them.

That's the game. Sounds a bit sick, but it seems to work for some.

And the assumption that "hot" women are by definition narcissistic would be a foundation for the whole ignoring strategy.
