Examples of shit testing?

Honestly, I think the thoughts on shit tests, and the emphasis placed on shit tests by much of the seduction community is way overdone. The only thing you need to know is that women are known to employ shit tests to test the value of a man she is either dating, or thinking about dating. Honestly, as long as you don't grovel at her feet when she administers such a test, you pass. And if you can throw it back in her face, exposing the very illogical nature of the test to begin with, then you get an A+.

The truth is, once you get good at pickup, you stop noticing shit tests all together. They pop up less and less frequently, and generally you learn to just ignore them or hard trumph them.

I can't even honestly remember the last time I was seriously shit tested. I tend to be really aggressive physically with women, and I think in the face domination, they typically stop shit testing. Usually the worst I get is "You're a player aren't you?" or "I bet you have a lot of girlfriends?" or "All the girl's at the party were talking about you."

I get some form of the above shit test with pretty much every girl I interact with. I would normally just say "own it" with stuff like this, but Japanese women have an extreme phobia of being played, so I play dumb. My date two nights ago:

Her: "All the girl's at the party were talking about you."

Me: "Really? You should introduce me to them."

Her: "I bet you have girls ask you out all the time."

Me: "Actually, I haven't ever been asked out by a girl, I always figured I was just too intimidating to ask out though."

(afterwards I took her to my place and shagged her 3 times)

It doesn't even matter what I say here though, as long as I don't come off as an arrogant fucktard. This type of shit test is different than newcomers will get, because she is testing me for overvaluation, trying to ensure that I don't have an ego the size of an elephant.

Newcomers get stupid shit tests like, "buy me a drink," or "I love it when guys give me compliments!," or "I don't want a boyfriend." Which are all bullshit tests designed to weed out beta males, and are quite different than what I get. I haven't heard the above three in years...

Examples at least for how to deal with them: Common shit tests and how to defuse them

Shit testing 101 by bobsutan

There are generally four methods for dealing with shit tests, aka fitness tests.

Ignore
Change the subject
Agree & Amplify (to absurdity)
Pressure-flip

Ignoring is self-explainatory. If you're in person simply don't respond to her shit test. That could mean walking away, or invoking #2--chaging the subject.

A&A is when you take her shit test, agree with it, and then take it to the upteenth level of rediclousness. For example, if she asks if you're gay (which is actually a pretty huge social faux pas when you think about it) and respond with "oh yeah, totally, I suck dick morning noon and night. I'd so suck your dick if you had one!" and just keep going and making it over the top where you're basically making fun of her for saying something stupid or uncouth, to the point it's all just a big joke and she's laughing. That's when you've got her. You've taken her negativity and turned it positive. It's really a meta form of push-pull.

Note: A more advanced version of this is repeated agree/disagree until she's becomes confused and it creates tension, and the back and forth emotional juggling gets a nice buying temperature spike. For example, if she asked if you're gay you'd respond "Oh yeah totally. Actually I'm not. No, I'm kidding a am (while shaking your head and mouthing "no I'm not").

A pressure-flip is when you answer so matter of factly and without emotion and then turn the spotlight around so it's on her. For example, if she asks what kind of car you drive: "Chevy, howaboutyou?" It's said so abruptly she likely won't be prepared to answer it. That catching her off guard and making her stumble is what you want. The main reason pressure-flips are good is because they demonstrate you're not phased by her bullshit and you can bring it and you're all on the same level. Tyler Durden of RSD does this all the time. His famous response is "what is it about xyz that turns you on?" or something similar. For example, if she says you look old. "What is it about older guys that turns you on so much?" (while holding eye contact) THAT is a powerful pressure-flip. Remember, the meta-level goal/point of pressure-flips are to build tension and then release it. That emotional juggling is push-pull in a nutshell.

It's all in the subcommunication. This can't be emphasized enough.

Girls test your congruence on levels varying from extremely subtle to downright obvious 'shit tests' such as "That's my boyfriend over there."

The way you fail is by reacting emotionally, and it's something you can't fake. You should fake it, if logically you know the right response, which is generally to ignore it. But it's not only after you've been through it enough times that you stay truly unreactive in the face of it.

Awesome responses dudes, I find this subbreddit very intriguing.

I have very little experience with women, but I've had these thrown at me:

Asked to hold items for them usually handbags

Do things for them

Does this make me look fat

Are you single?

I usually cut contact with them after these kind of requests. I hate it very much that they shit test me in a matter of days. Say by the third day they throw this crap at me. I've had some do it in a matter of hours.
