How do people acquire - or convey - such information, especially in the context of a limited encounter e.g. at the supermarket or a bar?
Women observe carefully body language, tone of voice, mannerisms, facial expression, all kinds of details about how someone interacts during a short chat. You'd be surprised how much you can pick up about a person in a brief interaction. It's not foolproof, by any means, but often you can tell when someone is out of their integrity, or is tense, is putting on an act, or whatever.

Some women's radar is more highly developed than others. Often, people learn from experience to trust their gut, and to be more observant, so there's a learning curve involved, usually. This means that some young women either a) won't be that skilled at reading the signs, or b) are completely oblivious to the whole issue, and are acting from their own neediness.
Body language isn't a pseudo-science, and it doesn't relate just to dating. It's one way humans have evolved to keep themselves safe in the world.
Very few women develop that skill. My mother's best friend is near her 60's and when she was 40 she was conned by a good-looking man who dated her for a long time before he stole all of her money and the business she buiilt for him. Older women than me, women who are in their 40's, women who are experienced with men either take a man's sympathy for sexual interest in them, or they assume a man's not interested when he is. Most human beings cannot read body language. Body language is bogus. The whole spectrum of female ''signals of interest'' have no background to back it up.
Human beings evolved by having men build weapons to protect ourselves. That's how we keep ourselves safe.
People fall for cons and flattery out of neediness. Con artists (and players) can spot a sucker from a mile away. (Sorry that happened to your mom's friend, btw.) That doesn't mean there aren't more independent or savvy types who are very good at reading body language.
It's like they think you want to marry them just because you smiled at them & showed some personal interest. That's where the issue lies - men seem to either assume you're just looking for a casual hook-up or are desperately husband hunting.
Exactly! And while so many are quick to jump at the possibility of a hookup, no thanks on that! And if they think I'm desperate for a husband, they are one sandwich short of a picnic! That's why I don't do it.
50000 years of development in warfare. the aggressor suffers 3 times the casualties of the defender. look at the fruit of the divorce courts since 1975. look study and learn.
