**Summary: While there is nothing wrong with reading about how to improve your game, it's extremely important to get out there and interact with as many women as you can. One of the most important reasons to do this is learning how to detect and defeat shit tests. The only way to get better at this through actual experience.


When I was in college I played football. A team we played each year was Air Force. Air Force was a different team. They played a style of offense different from other teams, the triple option.

My freshman year Air Force beat us. We were not ready, coming off a short week against an in-state rival and having to go play them in their place with only a couple days of practice.

Air Force, Navy, Army, and Georgia Tech are the current major college football programs to run this system. The Triple Option is designed to confuse, misdirect, and make the opposing defense play assignment football every down. Beating the triple option is more about mental execution than physical. This system requires perfect execution to run(and defend against), and an unprepared opponent. One defensive assignment missed and it could be a touchdown, large gain minimum. The service academies run it because size restrictions and recruiting limit their personel options, so their best chance to win games is to use a system designed to beat the opponent mentally rather than physically.

When the opponent is not prepared, it's laughable. I've seen Navy and Air Force humiliate teams despite massive talent gaps. But when an opponent is prepared, the triple option is ugly.

Our coach after my freshman year loss to Air Force realized you must be completely prepared to face them. So my sophomore-senior years, we began to practice for Air Force in the Spring. During the season we would prepare for them weekly on Sunday Nights, even though our game vs. them wasn't until later in the season. Our coach realized that you can not take Air Force for granted and need all the preparation you can get for them. It paid off, as my next 3 years we beat Air Force, twice in blowout fashion.

This is where shit tests come into play. Shit tests are the triple option of a woman's arsenal. If you are prepared, they are harmless. If you aren't, they will run all over you and humiliate you.

You have to be prepared for them on two fronts - to identify them, and to pass them. It's not enough to be good at identifying them but bad at passing, and it's not good to be bad at identifying and good at passing. You must do both.

Reading up on shit tests, how to pass them and identify them, is great, but not enough. Consider that the scouting report, the game film, the pre-preparation of shit tests.

But watch any football game this fall where Navy, Air Force, or Georgia Tech is playing. You'll hear the color commentator, every game, multiple times a game, say this:

"It's one thing to prepare for the triple option in practice against the scout team, but you simply can not simulate the speed at which these teams run it".

Triple Option teams not only execute well, but they run their offense lighting quick. You have to have great recognition and reaction times when defending it.

Shit tests are the same way. They come at you in waves, lightning quick. This is why experience is so important. You have to be able to identify a shit test quickly and formulate a response that will pass the shit test quickly. This is simply something you can not simulate by reading about shit tests. You can only practice this and get better at it by getting out there and interacting with women.

Go on AskTRP. You see a lot of posts "Is this a shit test?" or "How to pass this shit test?". For the "Is this a shit test" question, you may have to think about whether or not it is. For the "How to pass this shit test" you may have to pause and think of a response. The goal should be where you become so good at identifying and passing that you don't have to think about it - you don't hesitate - it's second nature. And you can only get to this point through a lot of experience.

A lot of shit tests are the same. "How much do you make?" or "What do you do for a living" or "Are you hitting on me?" are common ones. These are shit tests you'll learn how to deal with right off the bat. But the true shit test challenge is identifying unique shit tests. Women will shit test you very discreetly. On the surface it may not seem like a shit test, but chances are it is. When in doubt, it's a shit test. Anything can be a shit test.

The more you interact with women, the more you will be shit tested, and the better you will get at identifying and formulating a response. It takes trial & error and experience.

Get out there and interact with women today just for the shit tests you will undoubtedly receive. Learn them. Identify them. Try to pass them. Build up your shit test immunity. It's a brick-by-brick process, so start today.


**Lessons Learned

  1. Shit tests will only defeat you if you are not prepared.

  2. Reading about shit tests and how to identify/pass them is only the first step in preparation, and is not enough.

  3. In order to be a shit test passing master, you must have a lot of real world experience being shit tested by women.

  4. It's not just enough to identify and pass shit tests, you have to be able to identify them and pass them quickly without missing a beat.

  5. Some shit tests are obvious, some are very discreet. A mark of a shit test passing master is someone who can sniff out even the most discreetly wrapped shit tests yet still discern when something is not a shit test(while anything can be a shit test, not everything is a shit test).
