Context - I am a 6ft2 good looking chad that has approached 1000s of women.

The more experience I get with women, the more I start to think that a lot of PUA concepts like btch shields and sht tests are complete garbage and just a delusional way to reframe a rejection/low interest or dealing with a cluster B narcissist woman that has a dark personality.

Now don’t get me wrong, I know that women DO have little tests they run to essentially gauge your neediness…but these occur AFTER mutual attraction has been established and are usually very easy to see through if you have basic social skills - for example she may ask you do something you wouldn’t normally do, she may turn up late to a date or reply late to a text message. But clearly these are not elaborate tests that require mental gymnastics or heavy studying to decipher and are usually few and far between when a girl is into you. If a girl likes you, she will see most of the things you do in a positive light, and she isn’t looking to ruthlessly disqualify you. The ‘tests’ will only occur after she has made a real effort to win you over first.

Again, b*tch shields, in my experience just mean a woman does not want your attention. Any girl I have hooked up with has always been very warm and open from the moment I approached her. With experience, you can tell within the first few seconds if a woman finds you attractive from her body language and tone of voice. If a girl is into you, she will NOT RISK leaving a bad impression and loosing you with silly games or by conveying disinterest. She won’t have the confidence to behave rudely to a man she perceives as having higher social status than her.

Overall, my experience has been that women are very direct when it comes to men they are interested in. Lust is an immediate reflex. We don’t want to accept it, because it bruises our egos, but the vast majority of women just want to string you along for your attention. All ‘games’ or abnormal female behaviour are merely her tactics to keep your attention on her when she has no actual interest in having sex with you.

I think alot of PUA’s equated female attention to female attraction, and basically conned their clients into thinking they were attracting women infield when the women were using them for attention. And yes, some women will even kiss or dance with a man infield just to retain his attention for the night. But if she’s not warm, open, feminine and friendly, she is not truly interested in the man beyond his attention. A girl who is attracted to you puts her best foot forward. A girl is who is not attracted to you cannot fake the biological warmth and affection that comes with lust.
