Great animation by redditor /u/briggs-D [1] . I think he does an excellent job of explaining Hypergamy and Shit-Tests.

Being in an LTR (for MRP) I think we have to add to the definition of shit-testing to include not just testing of social status with regards to how others perceive us, but our social status within the family (she's testing if you're still wearing the pants or if she has to put them on).

I like also how he differentiates that AWALT doesn't equate AWATS (all women are the same), which detractors like to spin.
