I'm practising my text game with a few girls on tinder and that I've met in bars over the last few weeks and noticed that a few of them enjoy 'self-negging' i.e. When asked what course they do at uni they say "nursing, but some people don't consider that a proper degree" or "I'm not very good at it though".

Is this a shit test or is self negging an actual thing? How is best to respond? Say "yeah it is a crap degree" or just ignore and steer the conversation? (I think this would be useful to know about with other types of game too, not just text/online)
