While fun to read, the Shit Test Megathread comes off as a bit of a circle jerk. The truth is that no matter how clever or creative his response, a man will still fail shit tests if he hasn't internalized an Alpha mindset. It does Red Pill newbies a great disservice to impart the impression that they can pass shit tests by parroting a script.

When it comes to passing shit tests, too much emphasis is placed on the words themselves, i.e. what is communicated overtly. As men, we tend to prioritize the content of a message, so this is not surprising. But the delivery - how you say it - is far more important, because women are highly attuned to covert communication. Your body language, tone of voice, and microexpressions will betray even the most clever wordsmith.

Sometimes a girl will "get me" with a particularly clever jab to which I have no retort. Sometimes I respond with dumb shit. Literally the first thing one of my current plates said to me when we met in person (after chatting on Tinder) was that I was "smaller than [she] expected."

My response? "Well, this is what I got."

Sounds weak and stupid. And yes, I later joked about how I should have responded that I'm "bigger in other areas." Nevertheless, I passed because my body language communicated no fucks given. I knew internally that I was going to smash her, and sure enough I was balls deep within the hour.

In the past, my memorized (albeit inauthentic) idgaf responses were no match for internal Beta attitudes. When one of the hottest girls I've ever gone out with started giving me LMR as we made out on her couch, I backed away as quickly and nonchalantly as possible.

Her response: "you look disappointed." I'll never forget the triumphant look on her face - that self-satisfied "aha dumb Beta, I caught you" expression. I retorted with "No, I'm a good Catholic schoolboy, remember" but it didn't do squat. I was defeated by internal anxiety.

Again, the words themselves aren't particularly important. A guy with an internalized Alpha mindset will pass shit tests...period. A Beta could say the same exact thing and still bomb the shit test.
