If you go to university (especially in the U.K.) you’ve heard this one before, it’s the classic.

‘So ‘name’, how many girls have you slept with?’

It normally comes up in some sort of drinking game, but girls are obsessed with getting this out of men.

Do you say a low number (high trust perhaps, may kill attraction)? Do you be honest and say how many you’ve really slept with (could be detrimental)? Do you lie (like everyone else) to make your numbers seem more comparable? Do you go for the nuclear and just say you’ve lost count/say over 100? (Does this demonstrate value/ONS potential or kill attraction?)

What is the best strategy here? Now I know some of you guys will say ‘just be honest with confidence’ but you see, certain girls attraction can be killed instantly if you’re viewed socially as low SMV, and if that number is between 1-5, a lot of girls will make the assumption that you are of low value.

What is the best way to respond to this shit test, does anyone have a protocol for it? I’d be surprised if some of you guys didn’t considering how fucking often girls ask it these days.
