Attainability.. that seem quite a paradox to me…

Some thoughts and questions on attainability:

Attainability issue from a man make sense:
He saw a woman that he judge out of his league and so don't dare to approach her.
(easy enough to understand: he play safe to avoid rejection instead of playing to win)

From a woman, it seems weirder:
A guy that she judge out of her league approach her, flirt with her and invite her on a date… …and she freak out and goes into autorejection.

… but wait! The very fact that the guy move up to approach her and flirt with her and ask her out on a date should be proof enough that the guy is interest isn't ? How she could be afraid of the guy being not interested while there is an EXPLICIT proof (not the weird confusing indirect kind of stuff that women throw at us) of the opposite???

My suspicion is that the woman in autorejection read the situation as "He's interested by my vagina but not at all by me. So he will disappear as soon as we're done bumping the ugly parts." (which make sense if she's looking for a boyfriend, much less when looking for a lover).

But if I'm right, that mean that women are somehow engaging all the interaction, even a one-night stand through a relationship perspective… even when the option is not at all on the table.

So for them, even if it's only a one-night stand, even if they are NOT interested with pursuing any kind of relationship with you, she is STILL using the "relationship control grid" to judge you and evaluate you. Wich lead to strange paradox like using autorejection on you because you are only interested by sex even when it's what she's looking for. It's seems because she only have one tool to evaluate a man's interest and use it even in inappropriate (or at least not optimal) context.

Is that correct?
Could someone explain this a little bit more to me?

Hey Orelfius,

Well to be honest there could be a million different reasons for why the guy is talking to her. He could be trying to make a new friend, make a new connection for work, just really enjoying meeting new people etc.. She never actually knows why you're talking to her unless your intentions somehow get shown to her and very clearly( Verbally or Non Verbally).

I know a lot of guys who talk to fat girls just to build up social momentum, doesn't mean that the girl thinks that he's interested in her just cause he came up and talked to her and thus his Attainability is still low since she still doesn't know. If Rihanna or some very high value girl were to come up to me tomorrow and then ask me out I'd still be highly skeptical and her attainability would be really low even if she did ask me out. I Reckon it's just the same with girls, this guy is so high value why isn't he talking to some hotter girl? What does he want with me? He asked me out, I wonder why. He couldn't possibly like someone as low value as me.

No, I'm not talking about the "unclear / fuzzy signals" kind of attainability.

Yeah, the skeptical kind of low attainability. That's what I'm asking about. That's what I have trouble to understand... because if a super hot girl ask me out, I jump in yelling "hallelujah!" "Hurrah" "Yippi!" (well, may be not out loud, but surely in my head) without any hesitation. So I struggle to understand that skeptical low availability thing… how it works, what the people really feel in that? Why they have hesitation/carefulness in the first place? (being opportunistic and grab that once in a lifetime opportunity would make more sense)
