Should I be worried that about half of his list of 'signs of attraction' could just be common courtesy?

Personally I would suggest treating us like human beings, not aliens or sex objects. Try getting to know a few of us. We're not that scary.
It's good to see what a girl thinks of this, because I had a feeling that they woundn't be too happy about it.

Edit: ps, welcome to the site! 'bow'
Yes haha I've been reading what people have to say and I feel both sides have their points, but hearing a girl say that kinda makes me think this guys a little shifty...

Also welcome.

No. Just no. All you're doing is stereotyping, that is not analyzing, that is just flat out stereotyping.
I feel a little insulted as a male.

I'm a girl. You know the best way to talk to me? Talk to me. Seriously. If you see me somewhere, come over, say hi. It's not that hard. Why not assume women are people, instead of some kind of exotic animal that you need a specific strategy to hunt. It's just objectification of a different kind, and ultimately it might not actually work out that well for you, when you meet the girl of your dreams and she finds out that you were manipulating her from the start.

I also resent the implication that I'm not going to judge you based on appearance. If you come over and talk to me clean shaven, looking like you've showered recently, wearing clothes that look like they've been washed, and like you actually care about your physical appearance to some degree, you're going to elicit a much better response than the creepy, sweaty, smelly, bearded creature from the black lagoon trying to get in my pants. You can bet I'm judging him on more than his confidence.

Or you could just be normal.
If you're putting on a fucking show you're not being honest with yourself or them.
Really, maybe it's just me, but I want to like someone who can be themselves.
If I'm liking a façade, well that's not going to get me far.

As a male that really couldn't care less about looks, I feel the same way.

So... you're giving tips on how to trick girls into thinking you don't just want in their pants so that you can get in their pants?

Ultimately it's just a difference in approach between people who are looking for sex, and people who are looking for relationships.

1. Talk to said girl and be confident, but don't act like a dick while talking to her.
2. Act or be genuinely interested in the topic at hand.

Really not that hard.
For geeks and nerds, asking out a girl is like executing Operation:Overlord.
Also, you might be painting the wrong picture for people who like to jump to conclusions. Nice to see this list, will use some time.

Being attractive helps. I lost out to the hawaiian dude with the mild 6 pack. If your not attractive, you're out of the game.

ME: Hey, I gotta go in a second but, can I get your opinion on something? (Body language turned away as if i was just walking by)
GIRL: Okay.
ME: It's very important, a matter of life and death, in fact. I want you to think very hard about this. (said seriously, but not in a boring way; as if what you say is of dire importance to the main character in a comedic sketch)
GIRL: alright...
ME: Do you floss before or after you brush? I've been trying to figure it out for days! (Said in a joking way, as you would say the punchline of a joke [don't laugh])
GIRL: Laughs.
WTF is this!? This is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever read in a "how to get the girl" thread. No really, I've seen a lot of stupid threads like this but this one takes the cake.
In reference to the rest of the post: You really expect me to want to act like someone that I'm not to "get the girl?" I can't imagine a more disrespectful and self destructive approach. No, I'm going to continue being nothing like you just posted and when I find that special someone, she's going to love me for ME, not some act I put on like a monkey with a music box.
Relationships based on this kind of thought will only end in disaster when the little mask you built yourself crumbles and she sees your real face.

Damnit, I normally manage to avoid these threads but this one really bugs me. >.<

Good advice. Social status is universally attractive, especially to women.

Only problem with this kind of advice or any advice is that it gets over analyzed. Too much thinking tends to be a bad thing.

It really helps if you have a real reason to talk to a woman that doesn't involve picking her up. My advice is to not think (and to not think about not thinking). Focus on the girl and not yourself and have fun.

And as a female who doesn't care about status, I too feel the same way. I like those who don't put on a show to impress me.

Holy fuck.

Okay. If you spend this much time analising "relationships", and "how to talk to women", and you actually buy into this stuff, you are a sad, sad person, and you probably consider a brief mundane conversation with a "girl" to make your day. (E.X. You: Tuesdays Coming, did you bring your coat? Her: yes.)

.

.
IN OTHER WORDS,
Wisdom from a normal, non socially crippled person who actually talks to people of the opposite gender:


People are not rational creatures. They are not computers, they do not operate by logical constraints, they are emotional, feeling above thinking. If you actually try to talk to someone by "the rules" or something, you're going to look like an idiot. If you analise people by these terrible generalizations, chances are you haven't actually been around many people.

How this pertains to this thread: If you want to embark on the momentous task of talking to one of those "women" that you've heard exist, act natural and when i say act natural, don't act, acting is a mistake. Don't think about it, just have a normal fucking conversation with them.
You, sir (madam?), win. :D

I think you're trying too hard OP. I can't possibly begin to tread social waters with so many needless rules,generalizations and a wall of text listing common courtesies, it makes things more difficult than they should be.

Haha. Page full of tripe. I love it when weird guys who think they are masters of body language and the human psyche tell me what I'm attracted to.

My advice? Be yourself. Don't listen to this shit and have fun.
