Fairly new to TRP, although would consider myself a natural Sigma (i.e. I didn't need Reddit to tell me to go to the gym once in a while and that it's OK to have sex with multiple chicks at once, but also not a gym rat douche from Arizona).

I really appreciate TRP from an anthropological POV and have been getting up to speed on the lingo. Oh, so I guess I better do this lame formatting:

Summary: Not all Shit Tests should require silly non-responses, and being in the receiving position of lots of Shit Tests is pretty Beta in and of itself.

One concept that I have trouble with in a lot of TRP posts / sidebar is the recommended responses to Shit Tests.

Yes Shit Tests exist, and a lot of the time, ignoring it or flipping it is the best answer. But some of these "Shit Tests" are really just regular, normal adult questions:

For example, if a girl asked me "if I was a player?" meaning, am I sleeping with other girls, any response other than "Yes, I'm not looking for anything serious" comes across as way too corny / rehearsed / playing games.

I would never try and make some joke in that situation: It comes across as an inability to have an adult conversation face to face, i.e. Beta.

Being able to say IDGAF means you can be honest and direct with a chick

I'm in NYC and at 80+ count, and spinning 5 plates now. I've on only been asked "Are you sleeping with other girls?" twice in 5 years. I think the reason why is:

The plates don't want to ask and that's because:

1) they're having fun / entertained / happy

2) they don't care

Not being able to achieve #1 is probably the genesis for most Shit Tests.

When women sense a lull in the conversation, they use that as an opportunity to ask questions.

It's just female nature to not be able to just sit and enjoy silence.

So how do you solve this dilemma? Don't be a fucking aloof disinterested Chad all the time. If I ever find myself sitting in silence with a girl after sex, I get up and make a drink and tell her about it. Or tell her a story, or something. You can even flip it on her: tell her to strip or show her dance moves (like in "Unbearable Lightness of Being" a novel which everyone should read, BTW, as the main character is quintessentially TRP).

I don't give her the opportunity to mentally synthesize Shit Tests.

I know this sounds easier said than done, but it's really not.

TL;DR: If you're boring and giving your plate enough time to sit around idly and ask you Shit Tests, you're doing it wrong. And if all your responses to her questions are stupid corny ass replies, you're also doing it wrong.
