			On this wiki the lead is still [[Girls Chase]]: standards plus her investment, not a checklist of "do you cook?" lines. Logistics and [[calibration]] beat the scripted screening questions.

			== Method ==
			House reading:

			* '''After attraction, not instead of it.''' Asked too early, qualification is needy and judgmental ("why are you interrogating me?"). [[DHV]] or a clean [[direct game\|direct]] open first, then screen.<ref name="lingo" />
			* '''She jumps through a hoop; you do not.''' If she says she likes well-traveled men and you recite your itinerary, you just qualified yourself. [[Disqualification]] ("I consider myself well traveled when I make it to the grocery store") is the calibrated joke version of not auditioning.<ref name="lingo" />
			* '''Real screens are allowed.''' Loyalty, humor, whether she can leave, whether she drinks into blackouts, whether she wants kids — these are adult questions. The pickup trick is asking them from a position of already having options, not from hunger.
			* '''Investment is the thermometer.''' She tells a story, she moves seats, she suggests the next venue, she texts first. That is [[compliance (pickup)\|compliance]] and qualification overlapping. A yes-ladder of drink-holding is a cheap substitute for her actually liking you.
			* '''Sex is not a hoop you trick her through.''' High compliance on social asks is not a substitute for [[enthusiastic consent]]. This page is not last-minute-resistance folklore.

			[[Chase Amante]]'s version is less "A3 routine" and more: have a life, have standards, let her chase a bit, stop one-itis-auditioning. The [[Newbie assignment]] does not start at qualification. It starts at being able to talk.

			== Other schools ==
			'''Mystery-era A3.''' Explicit screening questions after female-to-male interest. Reward the answer you like; [[negging\|neg]] or takeaway the one you do not. Dated as a club script; the underlying claim (standards after spark) survived.<ref name="mm" />

			'''[[Hoop theory]].''' Who is jumping through whose hoops. If you are always the one explaining yourself, you are in her frame.

			'''RSD / "she qualifies herself."''' Get her talking about why she likes you. Inducing self-qualification is the same job with more mystique. Failure mode: fishing for compliments.

			'''London [[daygame]].''' Street qualification is often just "are you on the way somewhere / do you have a boyfriend / can you drink a coffee now." Fast screens, then a [[Day 2]].

			== Failure mode ==
			* Qualifying too early (no spark yet).
			* Qualifying yourself (résumé, money talk, "I am a nice guy").
			* Fake screens you do not care about ("do you cook?" as a line).
			* Using qualification as a status game to make her feel small. That is a [[neg]] in a lab coat.
			* Treating a social yes-ladder as consent.

			== This wiki's view ==
			The useful half is having standards and letting her invest. The useless half is a quiz. If you cannot name what you would actually walk away from, you are not qualifying anyone. You are performing Mystery.

'''Qualification''' is screening her for traits you actually want, after she has shown some [[IOI]]s. Mystery put it at '''A3''': she is interested; now she has to be interesting.

Two jobs at once:

# You demonstrate standards (you are not a slot machine that pays on beauty alone).
# She [[DHV]]s herself — cooking, books, travel, humor — so you have reasons to like her that are not her face.

In ordinary English this is "having standards" and "getting to know her." The pickup use is more tactical: asked too early, it is needy; asked after attraction, it is screening. The other, older sense of "qualify" in the community is ''approval-seeking'' (you qualifying yourself to her), which is the mistake A3 is meant to invert.
