tiger20 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 This little guide is for men out there on how they can best gauge their girlfriend's current interest level. Some have asked how do you know when it's in the 50s or it's 75% or 90% or 100% or 40%, etc? Well a lot has to do with their behavior towards you. Interest level is degrees of romantic love. The scale goes from 0%-100%. 0%-49% means NO romantic interest. 51%-100% is true romantic interest. When interest level is below 50% it can never go above 50% Women decide within the first 2-3 seconds of meeting a guy whether he is in or out. If he is out there is nothing he can do to get in. If he's in then it's up to him to do the things necessary to stay in. Once he does things to turn her off he is out forever. So here's the breakdown of the interest level scale. When her interest level is 90%-100% she's just totally all over you. She can't keep her hands off of you. She is always initiating sex before you get a chance to. She talks about the future in the sense of the two of you going sight seeing to a certain place or a vacation to a certain place this summer. She's asking you out on dates. She talks about you all the time to her coworkers, family & friends. She wants to introduce you to her family. She'll often make excuses to spend time with you. She compliments you. Her eyes are lit up when she sees you. Now let's say her interest level is dropping into the 80s. You will know this because she doesn't touch you as much as she used to. She still does a lot of the things she did when her interest level was in the 90s but not with the same intensity & frequency as she used to. You'll just notice a slight tapering off in her coming at you & jumping all over you. When her interest level drops to the 70s you'll notice that she doesn't laugh at your jokes as much. She doesn't compliment you as much. She stops talking about the future. She doesn't ask you out on dates anymore but she still accepts when you ask her out. Basically there are no negative things going on when her interest level is in the 70s but there's not much positive either. When her interest level drops to the 60s you'll notice that she becomes a little bossy, criticizes you over trivial matters such as the way you hang the towels in the washroom whereas before it wasn't a big deal to her. She doesn't initiate touching or sex at all but she doesn't turn you down when you initiate it. You find that you are the one initiating it most of the time. She is just more moody. She's not willing to compromise like she did before. She will complain more about how she doesn't want to watch a certain show with you anymore that you like even though before she watched it with you. When interest level drops to the 50s then she becomes argumentative over trivial matters. Even when you try to avoid an argument she will look for an excuse to argue with you over nothing. She seems to find a way to disagree with everything you say & do. When interest level drops to the 40s that's when she has emotionally checked out of the relationship. The scary thing is that most guys don't pick up on it immediately. It may be a few months before you pick up on the fact that she has checked out completely. The thing is her interest level may be in the 40s for months but she still goes through the motions of seeing you, kissing you, she may or may not have sex with you still. It's at this time that she's re-evaluating the relationship & talking to her friends & family & coworkers about you in a negative way. She'll seek advice from them or perhaps a message board like loveshack about whether or not she should dump her boyfriend. By the way when a woman posts on loveshack seeking advice about whether or not to dump her boyfriend I can already tell before reading the thread that her interest level has dropped below 50% & that it's over. Women don't seek advice about breaking up until after their interest level drops to 49%. But some behavioral patterns you'll notice is that her calling patterns have decreased. She goes more than 5 days without calling you. She'll eventually say that she needs space or that she needs a break or she needs time to think. She will verbally say she's unsure about "us" or that she's confused. That means low interest level. It's over. Inconsistent behavior is a sign of low interest level 40%-49%. One day she's hot & the next day she's cold toward you. So this guide should give you an idea of what to be on the lookout for in your relationship. Good luck.
hockeyman80 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks this helped a lot. It all seems pretty accurate to me and it made me cringe to see how her interest level dropped through the stages that you described. Fits my situation pretty good. I'm in the 40-49% now and trying to recover.
utterer of lies Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 The whole post is just hot air. Using percentages doesn't make it better, just makes it sound even more like the pseudoscience it is.
mo mo Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I usually just take blood samples of my SO when she is sleeping to measure her interest level. Quick, accurate, and effective.
deebeechrisyo Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Hay guys, I just read Doc Love on Askmen.com so now I'm a relationship expert!

This made no sense when your last-but-one persona posted it either.
TaurusTerp Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 You should try learning to connect with a woman before deigning to give advice on them.
Author tiger20 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 The advice is still sound. You can't deny that interest level is dropping slowly when you see subtle changes in her behavior. A man should take action when her interest level drops from 95%-85% instead of waiting for it to drop to 55%.
