Sup fellas,

So, to give back to this forum that has provided me with so much insight and life improvement, I figured I would share my unisex shit test response mnemonic. I’ve used it with increasing frequency whenever a power play is presented by a male or female, and the results are very good - the hardest part is remembering to deploy it when the unexpected opportunity comes along, but it's better than trying to remember a ton of theory in the moment. The word is AVICS which defines the type of response to a challenge as outlined below. It is open ended and allows for creativity and combination, both being not entirely necessary:

  • A - Amused (Agree and amplify, belittlement, humor)
  • V - Vague (Dismissive and aloof)
  • I - Ignore (No response/change subject or person being spoken to)
  • C - Command (Direct instruction, useful on very immature challenge)
  • S - Situational Observation (Listen to you, you really want my attention, you’re getting upset, etc)

That’s it, I keep it concise so I can play around with it and sound natural. I find it useful, maybe you will too. Cheers.
