Is text lag a shit test?

3-4 hours isn't that much time. I think you are overthinking things. 3-4 days sounds like a problem.

I've knew a girl that would sometimes respond 3-4 days later.

What in the world does one do in that situation?

I'm guessing nexting would be the proper option.

Yes. But keep in mind shit tests aren't necessarily given consciously.

Bitches are on their phones 24/7 so you can be 95% sure that she saw your text, but just ignored it for the time being.

Shit tests are rarely conscious on her part. But be open to the possibility that these women have been exposed to the same type of advice. They've also been told to space out their text messages so that they don't appear needy or whatever.

Personally, when I'm exchanging texts, I don't apply any strict methodology. If I'm texting too much and too quickly, I'll recognize it and tell myself to wait a bit. But I general avoid playing that game. Some girls can either; catch on and figure out your patterns (so I tend to answer at random times. Sometimes 2 minutes later, sometimes 2 days), and some girls will simply keep playing the game with you because they're sheep who only follow. If they see you acting distant and playing the non-needy game, they'll throw it right back at you.

But if you reply at reasonable times and seem authentic, they'll give you the same.

I have an amusing observation of you asking this question. It seems hypocritical as your text lag is deliberate. It is understandable that you'd ask in TRP. Whatever works I suppose. When you become high value, you won't have to fake it, as you'd be understandably busy for a justifiable reason.

Personally, I don't do it to shit test. Most times, I respond immediately when I next pick up my phone in the next minutes to a few hours time. If I happen to be occupied with something more important, I may not respond until I remember to. If it bothers you, that is your problem, and you need to learn to deal with it in an appropriately socially acceptable way. Sometimes sending a follow up reminder is ok, if they're taking longer to respond than usual. When I don't respond fast enough, I didn't do it with the deliberate intention to cause you to feel that way. It bothers me too sometimes when people don't respond immediately, but only when I believe they are playing this game of waiting a few hours to respond, deliberately (like you admitted to do), and are not genuinely occupied with something else. I realise this may come across hypocritical, but if you read carefully, there is a difference. I deal with it my own way, by doing other stuff, rather than waiting for them to reply. They know the ball is in their court. It matters to me not at all whether they respond or not, apart from being annoying. I hope that shows some level of attainment in TRP. I don't know. If relevant, i am female.

Is there a problem with flat out telling them, "Hey you need to get back to me quicker." I'm actually too busy for that kind of shit.

Yes it's a shit test, but for many girls they have gotten so "good" at it that they do it subconsciously. They don't even think to themselves consciously "Ok now I'll wait 3 hours to text him". Most women just build it into their lives to not respond quickly to opportunities, because they have been taught by their experiences that they will always have an abundance of opportunities, so they can wait until the last minute to choose among them.

The ones who always text you back right away are either extremely desperate (almost no options), or they are completely in your frame (in which case you're a boss).
