Girlfriend talked about another very Beta guy

Met up with LTR and had a great date. Teased like hell and used amused mastery as much as I could. She was touchy and I ignored her when I pleased. But she kept on talking about another dude who treats her "well and nice" - i just said in a amused tone, "maybe you should go on a date with".

She replied with an angry glare, and said "maybe I will". Was this a shit test? What is a good reply to this? I just kept the sarcasm and grins flowing. Towards the end of the date she was insisting to see me again tomorrow.

The problem with this description is that you have your own interpretation of what happened. We need facts. YOU think you used amused mastery and teasing. YOU think she was touchy and YOU think you masterfully ignored her.

You see, the problem clearly is: what happened is vastly different from how you think it went. Never assume things. We can't really give you any constructive feedback based on this.

Be careful, thirsty betas can sneak up on you if she's in the right mood (grass is always greener). That's how I found my way here after all.

There is no response to that you change the subject. You passed the shit test, the whole point is to not give a fuck about the other guy. If you do give a fuck then show through your actions e.g. Nexting her ir soft nexting, but don't get into an argument over it. 'Go date him,' is a perfect response if said nonchalantly and not butt hurt

Was this a shit test?

Yes

What is a good reply to this?

You did fine. You passed.

When your girlfriend was "... was insisting to see me again tomorrow."

I would have smiled and responded with, "but I thought you were going on a date with ... tomorrow"

Main problem of redpill. Not everything is a shit test. This is a Comfort test. You were acting in a way that showed you didnt give a shit about her.In order to show you she has value in other guys eyes she told you this. (It might not even be true)By answering "you should"you just made her feel like you didnt care even more. You failed this comfort test.

It sounds like less a shit test and more a comfort test.

You handled it well. Next time pull out your phone and ignore her. She needs to be punished when she is obviously trying to make you jealous. Employ dread game. "Hmm this girl keeps messaging me on tinder"

it's a comfort test and you failed it but it's a mild one.

If you wanted amused mastery you should have used "wow, he does sound like a great date. I should get his number" with obvious sarcasm but still some element of wit showing

except if this is a real story, you do give a fuck, because you just made a post on here about this trivial situation.
