Oh heavens no, I don't even aspire to match half of the social and manipulative skills women seem to be so born with. One thing I think I have figured out is weighing actions vs. words. And the real gold-diggers usually reveal themselves rather quickly because it is only efficient for them to get things to "being paid" mode as soon as possible. But it will take (lots of) reflective thinking to see it for what it is, that is true.

And on gold-digging women: they should be sufficiently easy to spot...
I don't think so. In general, women are masters of deception (by male geek standards) and you shouldn't expect to beat them at their own game.
In my experience, the only reliable way to spot a golddigger is to reveal that you are broke and have no desire to change this.
