Like I understand banter, light playful jabs at each other. Jokes essentially.

But reading about shit tests, some of the things I've read are so fucked.

Apparently its a shit test for a woman to ask what work do you do and answering honestly is a fail. This was the exact example

"Where do you work"

"I'm flipping burgers at McDonalds right now, but the money is great and I'm getting interviewed for an engineering position soon!"

Apparently this is a fail. I don't get this shit. Can you not have an honest direct serious conversation with a woman like what the fuck?

And like a bunch of other examples

"Do you say that to all the girls?"

Why do I have to come up with some dumb shit all the time "Hurr no just to you" or "10000th today". Why can't I just be honest "haha no I usually don't approach girls but I just felt very social today".

"Are you a player?" Again, why do I have to do some stupid shit "Hurr I play xbox" Can't I just be direct and honest like "I like to date and have sex with women and if they're girlfriend material I'm open to a relationship with them."

Like this shit is honestly so stupid, I feel INCONGRUENT actually fucking trying to "pass" shit tests. I don't want to play these dumb shit games. Sure SOMETIMES I'm in the mood to be super witty and cocky and have stupid comebacks and all that shit, SOMETIMES. But like 80% of the time I just want to talk and direct and honest, build a human connection.

Even “making women chase you” “make her feel like she’s choosing you” and all this shit. Man fuck all these mind games. I just want to tell women “hey I like you, I want a date. I don’t care if you say no there are tons of other women I like”.

Like do I really have to participate in these fuck shit mind games to win. It feels like manipulation honestly, it feels like I have to be inauthentic as fuck and deploy x,y,z tactic/verbal response to get the girl I want.
