I can't seem to build attraction, actually better, I can't build sexual tension. That's a big can't so I'll tell you what I can do.

I have and can easily get to the level where I can purposely touch girls bodies and head/hair without rejection. I can open just about anyone without getting shut out initially, and probably hit the hook point, as long as I get initial center of attention otherwise it falls fast.

I have 4 girls I know like me, and I am not in the friend zone with yet, any tips on exscalation, I'm just going to brute force it, I'm pretty sure their smiles and things they say are IoIs. What are some good sexual tension increasing subjects (THIS SPECIFICALLY), and kino that I can do? (Have read escalation ladder, but I can't tell when a girl is ready to be kissed. I'd have to have some kind of verification)

A smile isn't a very good IOI. I use the claw to test the waters. You're not building sexual tension because you're not using kino correctly or you just don't notice the signs. Trying to build sexual tension through talking is a lot harder but humor is the best way to open that up. If a girl is bad mouthing her ex, just say, "Whoa, time out. There must have been a reason you stayed with him for a year. Was he good in the sack or what?" Or just find a way to make fun of yourself a little bit, like saying you're a gigolo with a heart of gold. Just don't be too interested.
