You've just gotten out of a 4 month monk mode. You're eating clean, you're putting up heavy weight, your career has new focus and energy, you shaved your receding hairline, you've picked up reading again, and you trashed your Xbox. Things are looking up for you, and the women around you notice it. They treat you differently at work, at bars, on the street, and everywhere else. You start catching a couple looks here and there and use your RP knowledge to capitalize on your growing SMV. After getting ONS until the novelty wears off; time to start putting together a roster.

Here, gentlemen, is the secret to harem recruitment.

We all know that women can and usually will regret having ONS. When they do have pangs of regret, their hamster tries to claw back their actions with some kind of bullshit game playing, excuse, or any kind of crap that will make them feeeeeeel like THEY got the drop on YOU instead of the other way around. After having alpha sex even once (and you play your postgame right), they will come back and attempt to turn the tables. This can take many forms and common ones include:

  • "Let's be friends before we continue this relationship"
  • "I need more intimacy before sex"
  • "I'm just not really looking for anything too committed just yet"
  • "I'm emotionally unavailable right now"
  • "I'm already seeing someone"
  • Generally, any bullshit that could convince you that that sex was a one-time (or two- or three- or four-time if you're an athlete) thing. If you can recognize a shit test, you will see this coming a mile away.

Mr. Hamster will always rear his pathetic little head the next time you two meet. To crush this shit test, remember one thing: DO NOT TAKE THE BETA BAIT.

Repeat: DO NOT TAKE THE BETA BAIT.

She wins her silly game if you comfort her, or tell her she's important, or validate any one of her feelings. She is looking to see if just having sex with you once can turn you into her beta putty. If yes, that tap will run dry REAL fast.

If she comes over and pulls this shit, you slam this bad boy out of the park. Act like you do not give a shit and send her on her way without friendship, attention, validation, or any kind of victory. (If you aren't used to this behavior, it will feel very cold and unempathetic. Good.) You thought she was coming over for sex, she instead decided to move your hands away and force air out of her face. This is as interesting as watching a dog scratch itself. Look bored, unengaged, scan the room for visual stimulation, interrupt her mindless hamstering to end this conversation with something along the lines of: "Ya that's cool with me. Did you drive or walk or do you need a cab/uber/lyft" and pull your phone out to text people. She will do one of three things:

1) Leave, in which case she will contact you later or be receptive if you hit her up for sex later, or 2) get really turned on by your lack of interest and become receptive to your advances right then and there or 3) start turning up the intensity with crying, screaming, insults, etc. (In this case, do not change your behavior, react, or say anything but rather let her go for a bit and then grab her and make out with her)

This is no different functionally or conceptually from any other shit test, but this one is extremely predictable and a pivotal moment in whether or not she stays around. It will also sneak up on a lot of you newly RP men because you may not be prepared for such incongruity between words and actions. These are the kinds of things I wish someone had explained to me when I was younger so here you go.

Gentlemen, good luck out there.

Edit: I've never thought of this before, but this exact shit test is probably where a lot of false rape accusations are born. If you do not let them claw back their actions, there is a chance they go nuclear. If she even so much as hints at consent issues, has crazy eyes, or you feel that she's completely nuts, deploy your beta smokescreen.
