The speaker offers signs for telling whether a woman is avoidant versus genuinely uninterested, noting that because women are generally more passive, a female avoidant can look much like someone uninterested.

Key points

• Closeness: if she has ever tolerated or built some closeness, she is likely avoidant; no tolerance for closeness at all suggests uninterested.
• History: female avoidants often have little relationship history (e.g. saying at 25 she has never been in a relationship). By contrast, a long continuous dating history since her teens, always choosing men who never commit while she wants marriage, points not to avoidance but to trauma (described as daddy issues).
• Advances: advances sometimes accepted suggests avoidant; outright direct rejection suggests uninterested. But rejection in a triggered moment followed by her tiptoeing back is avoidant.
• The trauma type may return after healing, which the speaker distinguishes from avoidance.
