I hope this brief post can provide some helpful insight to those in the anger or depression phases.

This story will help you understand why shit-testing is important. Not because it's a way to make women feel superior to your flabby self, but because the consequences of not shit-testing and shit-testing well have multiple negative repercussions on multiple lives across decades. Understand from this real-life example that a good, constant, and thorough shit-testing is a necessary and welcome part of a woman's relationship with you.

The story: I met up with an old summer language course teacher. I studied a European language 14 years ago when I was 20 and I had this really hot teacher who was 27.

We kept in touch a little and were on FB, but I hadn't seen her in 14 years. By chance she surprises me this past weekend and I get a chance to catch up on her life.

When I first met her, she was starting to date this rather handsome man. Which makes the significance of the shit-testing story I'm about to tell all the more important.

In short, she married that man and they had two kids. But she discovered, I don't know exactly when, that he suffered from depression and even had a form of Asperger's. Apparently, fathers with Asperger's are far more likely to give birth to children with autism. And lo and behold, one of her two children has severe autism, and from what I understand, may be even mildly retarded.

Of course, that's a stressful family to raise. And the father wasn't much of a help as he was saddled with his own mental issues. I.e., once a routine is set, he can't change it. So, for example, she told me, once he learned that she liked eggs for breakfast, he would make eggs for breakfast. But even if she asked him not to, or they'd just had eggs three days in a row, he would still make eggs, because that was the first notion put into his head and he could not overrule it.

At long last, she can't take it any more and they kindly divorce.

So the former smoking-hot 27 year old is now a 41 year-old divorcee with kids, one of whom is retarded. The father is a divorced Dad with a retarded son. And the kids have an Asperger father, divorced from their mother, and one of them is retarded, and the other has a retarded brother.

How could this all have been avoided?

Early in the relationship, she had some doubts about him, but didn't listen to the results of her own shit-tests, and didn't shit-test enough There were moments, she told me, in the first three months of the relationship, where she was about to tell him it was over. But she had a feeling of pity. And couldn't bring herself to be so tough on him. And eventually decided she could marry him.

We can only speculate on why she felt she couldn't do better. She may also have been tricked by her own vanity, because the guy, despite his Asperger's, I've met him, is 6'5" built like a strong farmer and model-level hot.

Moral of the story, though: She wakes up everyday as a 41 year-old divorced women with a retarded kid because she didn't shit test hard enough.

The lesson for you: Be a better man. Don't get angry with shit-tests. If you get angry, it just means you're a loser and she's about to find out. So go lift and read a book and build abundance. No shit she doesn't want to get saddled with your autistic, spaghetti-armed offspring from a 30-second ride on your acorn. Be a better man and pass the shit-tests. But the shit-tests are good. In a very concrete way, they make a better world.
