I usually say “fuck no you buy me the drink”
We laugh and I buy her the drink

A good tip is to ask for a joke in return. It's a good way to gauge personality, depth and a basic understanding of their baseline humor. Why is baseline humor an important aspect? It will show how comfortable they are with you by the dirtiness of the joke. It will show the availability of a ready to use joke wich shows critical thinking. It will also show overall experience in delivering a joke giving an example of their social ability.
Why is all of this important, because its an instant test to see if this person is worth your time. This can also go both ways, it's not a girl vs boy thing. Anyone can ask for a cig or a drink, and it's a great icebreaker and conversation starter.

exactly, I'd be wary of ascribing too much to someone asking you for a cig or a drink one time. Could be a nice opening. Reject that tiny thing and you look petty.
If it is a pattern then I agree with OP, one time... ok, let's see where this goes. But I like your style even better, it's an opportunity to play around with her and have some conversational fun.

I would have failed the fuck outta the joke test. I am a repository of useless facts though, so I'd offer up one of those
[–]sdrowkcabdelleps 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Then that's what you go with. It's a communication thing, not a rule.

That is a great insight, fair gentleman.

I usually laugh out loudly, smiling, maintaining eye contact. Then bow lightly, with an disarming “For you - sure!”. Followed by “You first please. I’ll take a vodka on the rocks”. We drink, chat, laugh, I fight off a few shit tests and we get up together, ready to leave, holding hands.
Then I usually wake up as it’s time for work fml.

I generally find a woman asking for a cigarette is usually done in a much different context as a woman asking you (a complete stranger) to buy her a drink.
I'm known to be generous with cigarettes with my friends and acquaintances. So I am like the cigarette go to guy. So many times someone is told by a friend that I can be persuaded out of a cigarette. So it's no big deal.
The context for a woman asking me to buy her a drink is much different. If it is clear that she is just using me as in a test, I will say something like, "It's a sign of disrespect to ask a stranger to buy you a drink", "It means you only value men for their money", or something similar. Some women are really not testing at all and just want to bum a drink. So context is a huge factor.

This might be more relevant where I come from, but the idea is, don't gibe them free stuff
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 6 points7 points8 points 5 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
I think this is huge misinformation.
First of all, it depends by the context. A girl asking for a cigarette is just what it is, also considering how she’s asking it. Anyway, I can’t see a shit test here.
If she asks you to offer her a drink, she’s just her trying to get a free drink from you. If she gets it, good for her, otherwise she will look for another guy that will do it. Again, no shit tests here.
If you either pay something for someone or not, it’s up to you to decide if it’s ok or not. The only rule is to do it genuinely, with without expectations.
[–]ChadPilled88 -4 points-3 points-2 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I disagree, those are just the two examples I gave, it might be her asking you to do stuff for her and again this principle applies (not just with women as well), becouse sometimes women won't hook up with you if you didn't buy them a drink before. I also said that this is not always a shit test, but this principle is great, becouse it always works, isn't rude and if it was a shit test, you'll pass.
[–]ModeratorCaptain_w00t 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Whatever example, framing it into a shit test is the wrong mindset. Just like thinking that you can behave same way in every situation.
That’s just common sense, no need to overthink it. I’d do something for a (real) friend or someone I think it’s worthy. I wouldn’t do anything for free for someone I barely know, even if they have a pussy. And no, I won’t hookup with someone which asks for something back or upfront.

You need more clues before making a proof. Even the “asking for compliance” doesn’t fit, because that’s just someone trying to get something for free from you and nothing else.
A woman with value won’t test anything except coherence with your frame.
[–]Colin9001 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
its not black or white you gotta feel out the situation
yall overthink this shit way too much lmao you're automatically more invested if you're thinkin about all this when youre witha girl
[–]MajesticLaw4939 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If a girl simply walks up to you and asks you to buy her a drink I would decline in most cases unless she seemed really fun and it could go somewhere. You aren't a bank, if she actually seems interested and asks, I would do it then. Although I think it's better for you to offer to buy her a drink rather than her asking. When it comes to the cigarette example, I vape and in my experience I just let them use it unless they are just cold approaching me about it lol. Interesting idea though OP. I think it's a good flirty tactic, and can be a good way to make things happen.
[–]throwawaypines 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Jesus... you’re over thinking it. If you wanna talk to the girl just man up and buy a drink.
[–]401kisfun 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I used to say come with me to the bar, lets get it together. It was my test to see if she’d get up from her friends. If she said no, then I would say ‘may i bring it to you? Your friends too? What are y’all drinking?’ Then I’d leave and never come back.
[–]AruiMD 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
that's fair. if she won't get off her ass for a free drink, then gtfo here
[–]401kisfun 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
It gets really funny if you run into her she comes looking for you and brings it up. And then you smile and say ‘what kind of guy brings a drink TO a girl? And all her friends? You didn’t think i was serious did you?’
[–]AruiMD -1 points0 points1 point 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Gotta have the upper hand. It's all in good fun, of course but you got the right idea imo.
[–]401kisfun 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Oh yeah totally. I haven’t chased girls for a good decade, but when i did, a girl getting up and leaving her friends with you to get the drink was to me an indicator of interest. I also sometimes threw in right after she said yes to the friends ‘may i steal your friend for a minute? I’ll have her back in a flash, I promise’ it was less about pussy and showing i wasn’t being serious about anything
[–]jag75 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'll tell you what NOT to do: Do NOT kill them. That would be wrong.
[–]NateHate1402 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don’t smoke but as for the drink I say they should buy the first round and I’ll buy the second. This lets you know if she’s saying it because she wants an excuse to stick around and talk to you or because she’s trying to use her attractiveness to get free shit.
If she won’t buy the first round, I won’t be continuing the conversation
