I bet you say that to every girl? - You have no idea.
I have a boyfriend - How long have you had that problem?
Give me your number and I’ll call you - Ooh shit. That's how my relationship with my crazy ex started. Lets exchange numbers instead.
Where are your friends? - They all went home because they couldn't handle all the attention I'm getting from the ladies.
Why are you talking to me? - Because you're the most beautiful girl I've seen...in the last 5 minutes.
This is a good initiative OP but if I were to give you advice personally, I'd tell you to sharpen your basics. These seem less like shit tests and more like roadblocks a girl puts in the way of a guy she just isn't into. Notice I answered everything even the ones I don't consider shit tests and you can surely respond like that but it won't get you anywhere. If anything, persistence when a girl is already trying to get rid of you will just make her dislike you even more.
There is an appropriate time to be persistent and an appropriate time to back off. You should only be persistent if the girl is actually enjoying what you're doing but trying to reject you for different reasons (doesn't want to look easy, has something she's "supposed to be doing", feeling weird about the situation even though it feels really good, is shy when it comes to dating, etc)
A real shit test is actually an indicator of interest because girls do them when they already start to feel attracted but want to make sure your attitude is not an act but the real thing.
This is how you understand a shit test as a man: Imagine scanning a girl from head to toe, her hair is great, beautiful face, lovely breasts, tight waist, but then she has an ass that looks like an extension of her back, flatter than a macbook. So you're like, "Screw this!"
That's how a girl feels when a dude fails a shit test.
A woman's attraction is more based on a guy's personality which is why she can't just scan you from head to toe, she has to test you for holes in your character.

I'll give 3 for each, any feedback is welcome, they're not the best:
1) I bet you say that to every girl?
1a. Yep - to so many girls that my lines have been turned into worldwide memes. I'm honored that you recognized my line.
1b.Me talk to a girl? You're the first girl I've talked to in years, haven't even said a word to my own mom since I was born!
1c.You wanna join my harem? I'm cool with it but its first come first serve.
2) I have a boyfriend
2a. Just one? I bet you have a dozen, but let's make that a baker's dozen.
2b. Oh yeah? I have a pet too, my goldfish. No need for a leash when he keeps himself occupied.
2c. Yep I'm right here. Let's go grab coffee.
3) Give me your number and I’ll call you
3.I don't get it - this seems like a good thing not a shittest?
4) (if approaching solo) where are your friends?
4a.Haha, you think other people could put up with my sense of humor? Scares them away like a Jew in WW2.
4b.Everyone's my friend, whether they know it or not.
4c.I've got one right here (point to girl) - oh I get it, we're more than friends!
5) why are you talking to me?
5a.Haha, I was actually trying to talk to her (point vaguely) but you got in the way.
5b.I'd have a guilty conscious if I let you by without saying hi. It's my duty to give every girl a chance with me.
5c.I get you, now's not the time for words (move in closer)

Very good response. I’ll give you feedback on which ones are best.
1C- really like this one. I’d may even add you also get free healthcare or bagels. But maybe that’s my humour.
2B- I have a similar shorter one- “Cool, I have a goldfish” but I also like “Okay, why are you hitting on me then” if you want to be more direct.
3- As in you’ve asked for her number and she refuses but asks for you to give your number to her and she will text you later...
4b-
5b- I’d qualify it more with every intriguing looking girl. So you look more selective/ higher value. I’d usually just be honest and say you looked interesting so I just had to see if you were cool aswell.

My biggest concern is wondering if it's ok or not to talk about other girls. Its weird because girls will say not to, but I guess there's a difference between it being in an abstract way vs. talking about having a date with another girl on the following night or something? I dunno, I've just heard it's taboo to talk about other girls. (like with the harem-thing or the idea of "I approach every cute girl I see" or whatever).

Passing shit-tests are probably one of the few areas you should have some sort of prepared material ready for in game. Just like a job interview you need to be able to respond quickly and calculated when put under pressure.
"Shit tests" are a tricky matter:
The first two need to be handled internally by the guy himself. If the guy acts like he's being "tested," in these two situations, he'll actually make himself look bad much of the time.
The third one, guys get sucked into a little too often. Sure, this third situation involves a girl who wants to play games. And she'll want someone who also plays games. The problem is, if you match her game-playing, then all you've won is a manipulative girl who needs to weaken a guy to feel okay with him. Sooner or later, staying around them means you get worn down and affected negatively in some way.

To help with this, it’s a good idea to have some general prepared answers to stop you stuttering and messing up on the spot. So let’s practice some responses to common shit tests.
So to add to the practice of the thread, I'd just remind everyone here that memorizing things to say will only go so far. It's the equivalent of giving someone fish (lines to remember) versus teaching them to fish (changing their mindset so 'lines' come to them or they just sidestep the issue altogether).

I bet you say that to every girl?
I approach situationally so I never get this because I'm opening based on the situation and getting dialed straight into a conversation.
4
I have a boyfriend
When a girl is lying about this, it's usually because the guy is coming in too hard and fast. I don't do this so I don't deal with this line most of the time.
Otherwise, if a girl has a BF, I take her at her word.
But most of the time, girls don't mention BFs because the conversation isn't anywhere near that subject anyway. You shouldn't have to be dealing with this situation unless you're already making mistakes by coming in too fast and hard or asking questions you shouldn't be.
5
Give me your number and I’ll call you
This isn't a test. If you're having a good interaction, either of you can ask for a number and it'll be legit.
If you're mucking things up from the opener, then getting her number won't work no matter what.
6
(if approaching solo) where are your friends?
This isn't a shit test. It's a legit question that is really neutral. Only insecurity makes this a "test."
As for the answer, it depends on where I am.
7
why are you talking to me
You shouldn't ever be dealing with this one. If you're getting this one, you're having serious issues with your opener that could honestly get you into trouble.
If you're plugged into what's going on around you, you'll be speaking directly to the experience you're sharing with her at that moment and she might not be up for it, but she shouldn't ever be coming at you like this.

Girl here. No hate but these "shit tests" are literally women saying " I'm not interested" in a more polite way, as to not damage y'all's delicate egos. I've personally given up on these responses and just say "I'm not interested". Boy does that throw them for a loop.
Try having an actual conversation with someone for once instead of oh you're hot, give me your phone number, have sex with me. Being a genuinely decent human will get you significantly closer to your goal then these surface level games that are suggested on this sub.

You're totally right. These sorts of responses are all essentially "I'm not interested". I think the point of the thread though is how to respond in a way that creates interest rather than just giving up and walking away. It's sort of like damage control I guess. You're only getting these responses in the first place if you've misread some signals or haven't been as charming and funny as you thought you were so the best option is to work on yourself and your conversational skills to start with and avoid these responses all together.
[–]ermanley 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I agree with what you mean about working on yourself and conversational skills. However in my experience the guys I give these responses to and the ones I've seen on this sub fail in the most basic principle of conversation. Making an initial connection. The people asking for help and many of the self proclaimed coaches on here don't seem to have any understanding of how an actual conversation works- especially those where the end goal is a romantic (or sexual) relationship.
I get hit on frequently at my work and school and I can tell you from experience that most guys don't put forth the effort to make a simple human connection with me before they start asking for what they want. This makes women feel cheap. Make her feel valued, special and respected and they'll have a better chance achieving their goals.

You're totally right, although I do feel like this thread is geared more towards the nightclub/bar scene where you have a much smaller window to make an impression. You're correct though, even in those situations the most important thing is being genuinely interested in the other person. Being myopically focused on closing, getting a number etc does more harm than good because it stops you from displaying genuine interest. That said, having some clever responses or one liners in your repertoire can elevate the way the other person evaluates you in that two or three minute window you get to talk to them.
