So, I've read a good portion of the side bar material, just finished The Rational Male and I've got a few questions regarding shit tests...
1) for the sixth method listed (commanding respect), simply stating "that's disrespectful, and I won't tolerate" seems to be enough to pass the shit test. However, I've tried it out a fair few times in more serious environments, speaking calmly and collected, and girls seem to not care and continue the same shit test. I usually will just respond with A&A after that... Is this the best course of action to take? Also, have you have any luck using the "command respect" method and is it consistent?
2) I've seen lots of talk about "Amused Mastery." It sounded more like a mindset to me initially; just a result of what happens when you completely understand a woman... But I've seen people frame it as a method of passing shit tests. Thinking back to high school (in college now), I always would just call a someone giving me shit (male or female) "cute" in a sarcastic tone. Is this idea or maintaining frame, understanding why people shit test, and responding somewhat condescendingly the idea of amused mastery? If not, could you please provide an example of how a shit test and response with amused mastery?
3) After I started to unplug, I read somewhere(don't recall where) about reframing insults... Something like a girl calling a guy fat and the guy reframing it as a good thing by saying it's comfy to rest a head on after sex... Maybe not that particular response, but I think that gets the point across. It holds frame, but it's as sarcastic. What's your view of this way around shit tests?
All of this is a supplement to my own field testing, but I'd like to have your help and view points. Thanks for your help and time!
TL;DR: 1) What's your opinion on "commanding respect?" 2) could you provide an example or using amused mastery for a shit test? 3) does reframing shit tests work?
