Hello, I’m a long-time lurker finally having something tested IRL to share. English is not my native language, but I’ll do my best. It is EXTREMELY frustrating to know you are failing a shit test but still struggling to find a response. It is also EXTREMELY frustrating to find a great answer HOURS after the interaction.

I always sucked with shit tests. Why? I have a few hypotheses:

  1. According to Myers Briggs test, I’m a INTJ, the same personality that Derek Sivers (famous blogger and entrepreneur). He mentioned in one of his posts that he is a slow thinker. Maybe it has something to do with that personality type.
  2. I’m introverted.
  3. I’m an only child. Nobody really shit tested me for a long time. Also, my friends were really respectful. I lacked “early training”.
  4. I struggled with Nice guy syndrome: My mother was really nice to me. I always found playful teasing hurtful and was easily offended. I was the opposite of someone non-reactive.
  5. Highly agreeable personality and high levels of neurotism (corrected thanks to the Red Pill).

I mentioned my reasons because passing shit tests is just a skill than can be learned. If you are struggling with shit tests it is only because of your lack of training. It has nothing to do with intelligence. It has nothing to do with your strenght. It has nothing to do with your courage as a man! Talent is overrated. Practice is the only thing that matters.

I think that The Red Pill puts too much emphasis in passing girl’s shit tests. For me, passing a shit test from another guy is much more important and hard. Passing a shit test has a DIRECT IMPACT in your status and your place in the ladder of social dominance.

For me, there are three main requisites to pass a shit test:

  1. Non-reactiveness: Never lose your cool or be offended. NEVER. Emphasize a relaxed body language. If you still get offended, fake your body language till you make it.
  2. Delivering some sort of pressure to the other person: Like Pavlov’s dog, it is not enough to pass a shit test. You need to unconsciously make the other person know that if they mess with you it’s going to be detrimental to them (Hopefully we are talking about verbal attacks in most modern situations, in prison we are talking about physical attacks, that is harder and take more balls).
  3. Social intelligence: Your response must not destroy the relationship with the other person.

According to my requisites, there are a few problems with the solutions found in the sidebar:

  1. Agree & amplify (to absurdity): After finding the red pill a few years ago, this was my main tool in the box because you don´t require too much wit. It works for a while. The problem is that it doesn’t deliver too much pressure to the other person. If an alpha male mess with you, he’s not going to stop messing with you if you keep agreeing and amplifying.
  2. Change the subject: It doesn’t deliver pressure to the other person. Also, sometimes people notice that you are changing the subject. It looks weak.
  3. Ignore her shit test completely: It doesn’t deliver pressure to the other person. Also, sometimes people notice that you are ignoring the shit test.
  4. Pressure Flip: Yes! This is a great method... but how exactly can I pressure flip?!?! I only have three seconds to think of an answer!!
  5. The Nuclear Option: It destroys the relationship with the other person.
  6. Command respect: It is extremely hard not to make it sound reactive. Also, it is hard to do that with another male without starting a verbal conflict.

Pressure flipping is the best way to pass a shit test. I’m going to share my 4 step guide to pressure flip with ease.

The four Step Guide to Pressure Flipping

Step 1: Identify if you are getting shit tested.

Thanks to the Red Pill, this step is easy for us. Long ago, I was getting shit tested and I didn’t know I was failing it. As soon as you receive the shit test the clock is ticking. You need to detect the shit test as soon as possible to have more time to think of an answer.

The opposite problem is also true, a common mistake Red Pillers make is that sometimes you think you are getting shit tested but the girl is just curious about you. Mark Manson (Author of Models, one of the most recommended books in the manosphere) made a good article talking about this problem: https://markmanson.net/manipulative-relationships You need to have the social intuition to know if you are getting shit tested or not.

Step 2: Realize every single shit test opens the possibility of pressure flipping.

Nobody has the right to shit test you. NOBODY. There is always a reason why it is wrong for that person to shit test you. You are going to use and exploit that reason in the next steps. In boxing, when you punch, you open up a possible weakness in your defense. It is the same thing with verbal attacks.

Step 3: Think “Meta”

Think meta about why it is wrong for that person to shit test you. Maybe it’s because he’s been rude, maybe it’s because she’s been insecure, maybe it’s because she’s been narciccistic, maybe it’s because he’s creepy, maybe it’s because she’s drunk or he’s passive agressive. Maybe she just wants to use you for free drinks, maybe he just wants to impress his girlfriend. Maybe he has no social skills.

Step 4: Exaggerate and absurdify the “meta” reason you found in step 3.

This is were you put your wit. Think about the meta reason you discovered in step 3 and exaggerate and absurdify it to give a clever pressure flipping response. Also, remember never to sound emotionally reactive. The way you deliver the response is as important as the message in it.

She’s not only wanting free drinks for you, she also wants a house, a car, two kids and a dog named Lalo. He’s criticizing your clothes because he can’t put his hipster stamp of approval. He’s acting creepy because he played too much league of legends in his basement while jerking off 4 times a day. She’s acting narciccistic because she’s mad that she only got 20 likes in her last IG photo. The more absurd the better and the more absurd the less “direct and confrontational” your pressure flip it’s going to be.

I really hope this will help you guys. Thanks for changing my life.
