Some users - especially the newer ones - sometimes pose the question, “Am I a truecel or a fakecel?”, meaning, “Is it possible to ascend if I try?” Older users get annoyed by this because they’re way past that question. “Fucking retarded children flooding from .org - they’re ruining my chillcel chillzone. Admin, pls ban.”

For me, I don’t mind. The quickest way to check your chances of ascension is, of course, to make a dating app profile. You can do it now - don’t mind the particulars. If you can go on a date with your looksmatch within a week, you don’t belong here. But even some normies can’t do that. They dumpsterdive and jestermaxx for landwhales in their social group - at university, in their workplace, or wherever. Dating app failure guarantees your non-chadness, but you can fall anywhere between giga 1/10 truecel and a 5/10 low/mid tier normie.

So there’s another analytical tool you can use: choosing signals. They’re sometimes referred to as mating signals or indicators of interest (IOIs) in old pickup artist slang. People sometimes make tier lists of them, but only two tiers matter.

Strong choosing signals are:
- A woman plainly confessing her romantic feelings to you;
- A woman asking you out on a date;
- A woman touching your body (shoulders, elbows, or forearms - they don’t do ass grabs);
- A woman complimenting your body (“you’re so tall,” “you have such broad shoulders,” “you have such a sexy smile,” and so on).

The first two require no decoding, so they arguably shouldn’t even be listed, but I included them for completeness. The latter two are obvious. And it goes without saying that basically all of these are reserved for chads exclusively.

Weak choosing signals are:
- A woman standing or sitting close to you;
- A woman smiling at you;
- A woman laughing at your jokes;
- A woman maintaining eye contact;
- A woman complimenting your non-physical traits (“you’re so smart,” “you’re so funny,” “you play that instrument so well,” and so on).

Notice the difference? A strong signal is definitely sexual; a weak signal can be, but not necessarily. She can display a “weak signal” toward her grandpa. Normies basically operate exclusively in this territory. If you’re a failed normie, then you’ve probably had some of these (very few) in your life, but they were overshadowed by your social anxiety. And yes, if that’s the case, you might be able to ascend - if God favors you.

Truecel guys have never experienced anything like this, ever, and it’s asinine for them to read this. Case closed.
 
It's quite obvious when a foid is giving positive signals, they make it very obvious to Chad.
 
I failed at dating apps for years and never received IOIs offline so case closed for me I guess.

The reason I posted the other thread is because I see threads like "Showering = fakecel" or "If someone hires you to shovel shit for minimum wage you must be an 11/10 Chad who knows Jeff Bezos" and it's hard to tell what is a joke who is plain stupid

They will touch you, laugh, smile, look at you. This never happens to me.
