5 Ways to Deal with Shit Tests
Guys are always asking for some ways to deal with shit tests and insults from girls. This was a problem area for me for awhile because I used to have a lot of inner game issues with people insulting me or not liking me.
1) Ignoring them is never a BAD move, but often isn’t the best move (especially if the shit test has some credibility to it).
2) Absurdify it. This is something BradP teaches. For instance, if a girl says, “You’re such a player, you probably have like five girlfriends, I don’t have time for guys like you.” Respond with, “Actually I have 17 girlfriends, so what makes you think I have time FOR YOU?” Basically what you do is, agree with their insult, then exaggerate it to ridiculous proportions.
“You say a lot of stupid stuff.”
“Well keep listening, because it just gets worse.”
3) Rub their faces in it. I’ve found this to work really well with my girlfriend and I’s FB. For whatever reason, the few hours before a threesome happens with us, our FB will shit-test me HARD. Like, she just starts throwing insults at me that are totally uncalled for. But I know I have to deal with them and remain unphased or else everything will fuck up. I’m still not completely sure why she does it (I have my theories), but I’ve learned to deal with it really well with her.
“That shirt is really stupid.”
“Yeah, I know. That’s why I like it.”
“I hate it. It’s so ugly.”
“I know. That’s why I wore it tonight, just for you.”
“No, really, you look awful.”
“I know. I like looking awful. I think I’ll wear it again tomorrow.”
If you keep doing this, it drives them fucking NUTS. If I do this 3-4 times with our FB, she’s usually fuming with frustration and sexual tension. It’s pretty awesome.
4) I’m not sure what this is called, but I think it’s an NLP/sleight-of-mouth tactic. Basically, you re-frame her insults in a positive way that completely goes against her current mood. If you do it right, she’ll start out mad at you and end up hugging you and not even know why or how it happened.
Be sure to only use this when she’s being absolutely ridiculous. If she’s seriously upset at you, this will come across as supplication and work against you. But if she’s just being really obnoxious and shit testing you hard, this pulls the rug right out from under her.
“God, you’re so annoying sometimes.”
“I know. I appreciate your patience.”
“Well, I just think you can be a jerk sometimes.”
“Yeah, but I’m glad you don’t hold it against me.”
“Uhh… but yeah, it just makes me mad a lot.”
“I’m sorry you’re mad. I’m glad you don’t let that get in the way of us. Thanks for putting up with me.”
“Umm… err…”
*Hug her*
Notice here I keep re-framing everything she says to make her sound accommodating, appreciating, and kind. She’s unable to disagree with me, because every step of the way I’m already agreeing with whatever she says. This is some sneaky shit.
5) Never be afraid to admit to a mistake. If you legitimately fucked up, say it. Never be afraid to say, “I’m sorry” if it’s warranted. Be the bigger person.

If it's an Iron Maiden shirt with holes in the armpits then you do look like shit

Thumbs up for number five.

Doc: Yeah, I know, that’s why I like it.

Usually when a girl shit tests me, I like to act un-phased and then nod my head like I would if someone random came up to me and started talking about some wack shit.
It lets her know that I don’t value her opinion when she’s being negative. This is only for shit tests when you haven’t yet shown very much interest in her.
If you have shown interest already, this response would make it seem like you were affected by the shit test… which = you not getting laid.

#4 is called “Assigning Reputation”… and it’s a very powerful tactic.
You’re basically saying that she’s “cool” for doing it… and NO ONE wants to disagree with being cool.
Negotiators sometimes use this.
Aswar Sadat used to start a negotiation by saying “I’m so happy to be here with you, your country has a great reputation in fair dealing…”
Deadly stuff.
The other 4 are awesome as well…

Interesting. Care to share why you think this may be happening?

Harold, The two theories I have are:
1) Like any shit-test, to test my congruence. Most shit-tests are to test a guy to see if he’s sex-worthy to a woman (testing his frame, his confidence, his inner strength). In this case, she’s testing whether I’m a threesome-worthy man, so the shit-tests are that much more intense.
2) It’s to make sure I’m egoless about the whole thing. Again, a lot of girls naturally kind of worry about being seen as a slut or that they sleep around too much, so they want a man who’s not going to go around bragging to anyone.
Well, again, with a threesome, the ante is raised even higher. She blatantly attacks me in such a way that an egotistical person would get upset and defensive.
Harold
Ok, I see. Thanks for responding.

Fuck, this is a great post. Hammer referred it to me. I love #4 especially, that’s gold. Wish I had read this a week ago!

One that I like to use as well is the super cocky response with the major kino spike:
Girl: I can’t believe you said that. You’re such an asshole.
Hammer (pulling her in at the hips):
“Haha yea whatever woman you love it.”
