In Todd Valentine's seminar Opening Mastery, Todd described what is called The Bouncer Analogy. In many elite clubs there is a bouncer with a list. The bouncer screens people by checking their names on the list.

Here's the secret about that: you don't have to be on the list to get in. You simply have to be confident enough to go up to the bouncer and when they ask you if you are on the list just own that you are not on it. This strategy by the bouncer screens out the low value males who go to the club only to sulk away when the bouncer asks of they are on the list.

The Bouncer Analogy also applies to women. Women will shit test you, say they have a boyfriend, and give you crap all in an effort to see how resolute you are. It is up to you to identify these tests as such, see through them, and continue the conversation. The "I have a boyfriend" line can come up for many different reasons. Perhaps you came on too strong. Perhaps it is an open relationship. Perhaps she doesn't want to look like a slut or feel like a loser. Perhaps she considers one of her orbiters her "boyfriend" because she can cry on their shoulder. You simply do not know. All you can do is counter her objections and put her in your frame.

If she is testing you that means she is considering you as someone she wants in her life. It is a good sign and you should accept it as such. Avoid being the beta male who recoils at the smallest sign of dissatisfaction. Display yourself as a strong, powerful, and determined individual who goes through with what they want, regardless of obstacles.
