New thesis topic: "Women as independent variables: a double-blind study." :-P
While I grok what you're saying, it's hard to be that rational about relationships, especially when you're (ahem) horny...there seems to be a tendency to ignore all evidence of disinterest and go with what is supposed to work, just trying to do it better and more correctly. ("Wave the flags just like they did, and the cargo planes will arrive and drop off magic goodies!" "Speak *louder* and *slower*, and the foreigner will understand you!" "Show up at midnight with flowers and a boombox and sing love songs, and she'll HAVE to go out with you!")
I suppose that your approach is a sanity-saver for those who fit the above criteria and get rejected. (I'm something of a non-expert at rejection, so I can't really say much about it from a first-hand perspective...)
