Gentlemen, you have influenced so much positive change in me. I come to you today with a quick story about my situation.

TL/DR How do you pass Jedi level shit tests?

FYI Posting from mobile I have become capable of new sort analysis of the messages and language that is used by my wife and the women around me. It is quite eye opening and frankly, its fascinating. Watching my friends get thrashed verbally and/or manipulated and they have no clue whats happening. Or reading body language in a public setting... its like being in peoples heads!

My situation is this: I have made significant improvements to SMV, lifted 4 times a week religiously, and followed and tracked my macros to the frikking gram. I have dropped about 25 lbs over the past 4-6months. Shit feels good. Biceps are big, moobs are gone, and feel like i could fist fight a bear! I My First Mate is stepping it up and going to a HITT training gym once or twice per week, and trying to eat properly. But her self image is deplorable. Its a tough battle to fight because she is insanely difficult to influence. She still has trouble dropping weight and it creates this air of closed and unavailable body language. PUA has no effect other than the same old lame responses of "gross" tired, etc. . . All the normal B.S. we read.

I have done the caveman a few times and that seems to be at the least, appeasing to her hamster. I have upped the dread to level 8, and attempted to give the hamster some exercise, and to no avail at all. I have an already extensive wardrobe, lost a bunch of weight, and i am a natural flirt with women because I'm a salesman. So that doesnt phase her. The struggle: she loves to play these fuck fuck games or Jedi mind tricks with holding grudges. I can ignore some petty bullshit for two days and the two days are just fine... then she will somehow dig it up and drag me into a fucking debate. Its like a dual of words, or politicians arguing. It is so fucking asinine and I never see it coming. Its seriously the only shit test I miss. One i realize what is happening, i typically either use AI or nuke it if it isnt in person. Example: Sunday I was admittedly grumpy from working 12 hour days for 6 days in a row. Morning went smooth once I got out of bed., afternoon was social event with a few friends and their kids, our kid was a PITA and the short story is that one of the other guys told his wife what we spoke about and it daisy chainned to the First Mate.

Lesson learned... he is a beta buck. Got it. But fast forward to today, fucking Tuesday! I got blindsided by a shit test over this petty shit while flirting with her and trying to run game via text. Sending her funny memes that are pickup lines and i get " its really hard to take part in this act when you havent explained your behavior on sunday"

I guess I should have stopped right there and went to ignore mode... Any other lessons or thoughts guys?
