At my university in the US, there was a trend of “traffic light parties” where the partygoers (both male and female) were indeed supposed to wear a badge which color indicated interest in a potential hook up: green yes, yellow maybe, red off the market.

Unsurprisingly I never saw a women wearing green.
Also, I wanted to say I appreciate your approach in general, with your evolution-informed game theory analyses. Refreshing.
Very interesting! I heard about similar solutions at BDSM parties.
But how many wore yellow? And did any red-wearer ever hook up with anyone, as far as rumors can tell? Did red mean "never, I have a boyfriend" or did it mean "I never have hook-ups"?
Somehow I can relate to why no females wore green. Giving too strong welcome vibes feels unsafe. And probably also is.

There's an old joke that if a woman says "no" she means "maybe", if she says "maybe" she means "yes" ... and if she says "yes" she means "no".
