"pick artist" ha that term is so fucking lame.
sounds like some creepy 30 yr old dude playing computer games jargon.
"IOI's" ha ya :) m.y.s.tery definitely did miss alot of them.
Anyway from the looks of your post. Knowing "IOI's" are worseless too you.
You'd be too reactive. Go hit the field & as you get less reactive and more centered, you'll learn what they are.
"Basically you'll know when you are ready mavrick son, now go, hit field"

They help a pick-up artist gauge where they are at in a general sense of attraction, and/or comfort.
Every person is hard-wired to recognize IOI’s. Think of when you were in high school and you saw two people flirting;
-The girl is twirling her hair, or blushing, acting really nervous and trying to impress the guy subtlety.
-The guy is trying to act cool, telling the girl about his car and how many trophies he has in baseball.
These are just small examples of IOI’s.
The reason those two people are flirting is because they are giving each other verbal, or non-verbal IOI’s, and each person is picking up on it and giving it back.
Why do people give Indicator’s of Interest?
Well, first of all I want it to be known that not only do people do IOI’s on purpose, but they also do it subconsciously based on what they are feeling inside.
With that said, people give an IOI to keep, or raise their value to a person, or group of people.
So now Imagine you are in set, and you want to know what to look for to gauge attraction.
The things you will be looking for are-
Eye Contact, How strongly does she keep your gaze? Is she like a hypnotized child watching power rangers? If so, that is an IOI.
Body Language, Is her entire body facing you? Is she standing very close to you? Is she touching you? These are all IOI’s
Laughing, Does she laugh at seemingly everything you say? Does she over react to teasing? These are IOI’s.
Obstacles, How does she react to her friends trying to pull her away? How does she girl code her friends? Does she completely ignore her friend’s conversation? These are more IOI’s.
Conversation, Does she attempt to lead the conversation? Things like “So…where are you from? Chase Hughes said the other day at the meeting, anything that a girl says that starts with “So…” is an IOI, and this is the reasoning behind it. They are trying to re-establish the conversation!
Qualification, does she try to make herself seem up to par to you? Does she try to tell you about all the cool things she has, her car, her house etc? these are IOI’s.
These are some of the few categories of IOI’s.
Now I want to talk about interpretation of IOI’s,
Women are very social creatures, they are very socially calibrated in ways unimaginable to men. Why do you think they are into things like Soap operas, petty drama, and talking on the phone to their friends for hours on end.
Why is this relevant to me?
First think about what men will do to IOI to a woman, honestly…as a whole, we are very blunt and straight forward.
We will just go out and say “your hot” or “your sexy”.
Women on the otherhand will mask their intentions and give their IOI’s out subtlety.
Why?
Because of this thing called ASD, also known as Anti-Slut Defense.
Women will kill another woman if it would help her perception with the rest of the world.
Women will bend over backwards to not be perceived as a slut.
That’s the primary reason,
The secondary reason is, they think men are smarter than we actually are,
They think we will always pick up on their 1 second eye contact from 150 feet away, and approach right away!
Its crap isn’t it!
So what Do I do to make myself better at recognizing IOI’s?
-Always be reading people’s body language, counter-analyze people!
If I was standing like that, with that face and those kind of things happening in my set, How would I be feeling on the inside?
-Call girls out on their IOI’s, and Body language
At first you might be wrong, but you will become better calibrated as you learn more and more. If you are wrong sometimes they will correct you.
Always view the BIG PICTURE
When you walk into a bar, the first thing your going to do is analyze everyone around you.
-who’s with who
-who is drinking what
-who is having a good time/crappy time
-who is social
-who is with their boyfriend/girlfriend
-who is lonely
Etc etc etc
