Is this a shit test? When I’m in a naturally masculine and high value frame with a girl, I often tease them and give absolutely no validation. The girl in the following example went to Cambridge and was applying to Oxford. I barely batted an eye when she told me this and I could tell she wasn’t used to a lack of compliments for her academic achievements.

They seem to respond well to my aloofness and jokes, but I sometimes get called rude for my behavior. I’ve been doing some traveling lately and having a lot of success, but these comments can cause me to over analyze.

A couple of examples:

Her: ...and then we can go get dinner later Me: oh, so you automatically think I’m going to dinner with you? Her: Rude

Her: I forgot to shave my armpits today (she had a smattering of hair under each one and we were on the beach) Me: yeah, you should grow your leg hair out to match it Her: Rude

Almost every girl who calls me rude seems to be attracted in some way. I hooked up with the girl in the example (no sex), but the next day she was a little distant and went to bed early. It seems like a shit test to me, but I also feel like the rude comments, which I just consider as teasing or being playfully mean, can sometimes turn a girl away too.
