First some TRP theory, What are shit tests?
Shit tests
It is an indicator of interest, it is used to verify if you are still worthy of her interest, to judge your social intelligence. It is a type of Flirting. Most Blue Pill guys facing a shit test get fazed, they fail to recognize that it is a fake indicator of disinterest.
TRP tells you NOT to buckle, get rattled, falter, get upset, be reactive, offended, doubt yourself, lose composure, show weakness, justify, give explanations, rationalize, when faced with this "attack", make sure you pick up on the hint of sarcasm and respond by reasserting your Boundaries, stay in control, don't take it personally, maintain frame. These tests are designed to be provocative and elicit an emotional response from you. So more than what you say, how you say it matters.
She might try being unreasonably demanding that you do something or change some behavior. Here to pass this shit test, you need to stand your ground, have self respect and show you won't cater to her every whim. Other than these compliance tests, where she tests how much influence she has over you, we have dominance tests where your mental strength is tested. Fitness tests judge your social skills/humor. People who have a lot of Insecurity tend to test their their partners a lot using these shit tests.
Some examples - Buy me X, let us go to Y now, stop talking to Z. Give you some negative label, bullshit, accusation.
"I bet you say that to all the girls", "You seem like such a player!", "Aww, are you upset now?", "Buy me ice cream", "Are you a virgin?", "Hold my bag for me", "tell me your weaknesses",
Nuclear shit tests are actions - "grabbing food from your plate", "tickling you", "hugging a guy in front of you".
Let’s take an example how would you respond to "I bet you use that line on all the girls"
A) Agree and amplify to absurdity - "Yea, that is why I get a different girl every night. It is that effective!", spin it off like a joke. You can also disagree.
B) Pressure Flip - "I bet you think everything is a line because of trust issues". Reverse the social pressure onto to her. "Yea, I am sorry did you think you were special?"
C) Ignore - what you said is not worth addressing, it makes her feel awkward. It can be used on someone who is lower on an established pecking order. You can ignore and misdirect if you want to be polite, change the topic but don't acknowledge the shit test. You can just laugh as a response.
D) Call it out - In a non confrontational manner, call out the bullshit. Make it Explicit what she is doing.
As long as you keep a strong frame, responding to such tests will come automatically and will not need any canned responses.
——
Ok so what function does shit tests serve? When women employ them on men, TRP claims it is a way for women to measure how dominant you are, how socially intelligent you are, quick on your feet, how much of simp you are to her. So if you “pass” these tests, she feels genuine desire for you.
They also say it’s insecure women who do this a lot and I think I’ve read it said that if a girl really likes you she will make it easy for you and not really shit test you. But I’ve already heard people say shit tests are a good thing and it means she likes you.
The blue pill take on this seems to be that it’s a minority of immature girls who play such games and you should just have open conversations if you are offended, be honest genuine and that is what will be attractive.
So I might respond. “No I don’t use such lines on all girls, this is not some “line” it is my my feelings directly from my heart and it is only for you”. Some corny stuff like that maybe?
So 1) What do you think, from your experience are shit tests a pattern of behaviour that you have observed in your relationships or your friends relationships?
2) Do you think it is rare? Pervasive across all relationships to some extent as part of how they negotiating power and control?
3) is it done when women are unsure about the quality of the guy and feeling like she needs more confirmation? Is it likely to not be present in healthy relationships?
4) does it work on men? Are men turned off when women do this to them. Does it hurt their attraction? TRP only seems to cover this from women’s perspective…
Then when it comes to shit tests that men do to women. It would be similar stuff, like passive dread, making her feel jealous, pushing boundaries and seeing how compliant she is, etc.
But here I wonder if a parallel can be drawn with men feeling more attraction to women who are more like doormats? Or do they want the women to also hold frame and banter back?
5) Do insecure men self sabotage their chances by pulling shit tests on women? Are there any analogies here… is it just us projecting male sexuality onto females when we think that women need to pass types of shit tests too in order to gain their attraction?
