I'm not tall I've heard this before I have the following responses 1.I'm much taller when I'm naked 2. who fucking cares 3. and your a 5 what's your point 4. Just keep talking or doing what I was doing If she legitimately is that shitty about it then just talk to her friends or anyone else
The point is fuck it there are tooo many girls to waist time with this type of non sense

It's a non-starter. Shit test. Don't acknowledge it. It only has meaning if you treat it negatively. Treat it like any other non-sensical remark. If she says it like that, it's just a statement: You have blonde hair, your shoes are green, you have two eyes

"And you're observant. So anyway, what makes you so special?"

Girls never say that to guys unless the guy is begging or pissing them off. Is this a hypothetical or a real thing you've heard?

The answer would be "yeah I know dummy"

"Yeah, and?"

I'm relatively short (5'8") and never respond to comments about my height with anything more than a shrug or a curt, don't-give-a-fuck answer. (Then again, I don't get this much, at least not from women. Men sometimes make comments, but almost invariably because they are feeling insecure themselves.)

Joke responses are ok, I guess, but they need to be really good to work better than just not giving a shit. And I strongly advise against responding with anything hostile, even if said in a joking or emotionless manner. Return fire of any kind will suggest the comment got under your skin, and that is lethal.

The other good thing about a minimal (or nonexistent) response is that it can sometimes make the girl feel bad about what she said. I've often found that people are harder on themselves for their rudeness when you barely react at all. It leaves them with nothing but the memory of their own behavior. And that can give you a psychological advantage.

Kind of the wrong question. Going to quote Mark Manson here:

....The classic definition of a shit test is when a woman challenges you to determine how congruent and confident you are in your identity. This is usually seen as a negative thing by men, which is strange since it indicates that she’s interested and/or intimidated by you.

....Shit tests only have power over you if you’re overly concerned about her opinion of you. If you’re truly confident in who you are, then you shouldn’t feel the need to prove it to her, especially some sassy broad you just met.

The point being, if it is a shit test, then she's interested and it's not a problem unless you let it rattle you.

But to quote him again.....

This is the classic tease response to a shit test, as taught by most PUA methods. Notice that you’re basically entering into a verbal sparring match with her, manipulation against manipulation. Yes, this does work… on manipulative women. This lacks vulnerability because you’re masquerading your actual identity in order to out-wit her or to be “more dominant” or whatever the fuck the phrase is they use these days.

All in all, a shitty and unpleasant interaction. Even if you do get laid, you have to constantly sit there and battle with the woman long enough to trick both of you into thinking you’re attracted to one another.

Meaning, if she really is trying to be manipulative (and she may not be), then it's questionable whether you really want to spend your time being the kind of guy who gets into her pants.

Just curious what you guys tend to answer to this sort of 'statement'.

I would need an actual detailed scenario to tell you what I would say. 2-3 words, doesn't tell any of us a damn thing, and boilerplate/copy paste answers aren't really the best.

Pretty shit shit test. If she's still talking to you it's obviously not a deal breaker
