Brushing Off Common Shit Tests From Girls

October 4, 2010 by CH
Reexamining my successful pickups, it becomes clear that 80% of early verbal game is simply
knowing when a girl is tossing you shit tests and how to handle them like an attractive man.
Almost all good-looking women worth banging will, at one point or another, shit test you. It is
coded in their DNA. The easiest and quickest way to make yourself more desirable to a woman is
to pass her tests like a champ; in other words, to exploit her alpha male filtering mechanism.
Many men write asking for advice about womens shit tests. Judging by email quantity, its a big
stumbling block for a lot of would-be womanizers.There have been posts at the Chateau before
about passing commonly encountered shit tests, so in the spirit of giving the people what they
want, here is another installment in a continuing series. Thanks go to reader Legion for
contributing his selection of devious female screening ploys. Edification and analysis follows.
Comments from me are bracketed in italics.
Before beginning, one thing Id like to note is that a big mistake I see a lot of men making
besides an inability to recognize a shit test when it is leveled at them is sounding spiteful in
response. The critical distinction to make when volleying a shit test is to avoid confusing sneering
umbrage for cocky indifference. The line is surprisingly thin between the two attitudes. You
definitely want to focus on tailoring your replies and your tone of voice to sound like the latter. A
good rule of thumb: if your reply to a shit test would sound like it is coming from a man who cares
that his feelings were bruised, dont say it. Another key point barring infrequent exceptions,
your shit test replies should be succinct. Brevity is the glow of clits.
Here are some common shit tests that Ive encountered over the years including ones from guys
trying to punk you in front of girls and most of the answers (in bold) are my own; a few are
culled from the PUA literature.
The shit tests that blindside you are the ones that really mess you up, like a punch you dont see
coming. This does extreme violence to how youre perceived. Vaginas snap shut and dessicate
abruptly.
I think mastering shit tests is KEY to success. A man with savoir faire is magnetic. Girls secretly
spurt their panties when an alpha male is challenged in public by other men or women; she
excitedly wonders how will he react. Ive seen this before, many times: you never forget that look
of hyper-aroused delight (or crushing sadness) in your girls face if you dominate other men (or
get owned).
I think game should be expanded to cover how men interact with other men. [Editor: Agreed.
However, since the majority of shit testing is done by girls, the focus shall remain on male-female
interaction. Most men wont attempt to punk you in front of a girl you are gaming. There are only
so many heavy ballsacks in circulation.]

Anyway, Id like to hear your take on these; the list is pretty basic so far. Its not that the answers
are particularly clever; its just that they work, and you know in the back of your mind youre
armed.
Shit tests
Do I know you? / Why are you talking to me?
Oh, I forgot there was a no-talking policy here between strangers.
[Editor: Id drop the between strangers part. Otherwise, very good. Alternate replies: You
wish. / Your mom said you were lonely.]
***
I have a boyfriend
Thats nice, well done. [keep plowing, then eject if no IOIs]
[Other good IHAB replies are here.]
***
*She asks you to do something such as get something for her, do her a favour, carry something,
buy her a drink, etc*
I think you have me confused with every other guy youve met.
[Excellent. Alternate reply: Does this always work for you?]
***
Why dont you give me a straight answer
Its more fun for me not to.
[Serviceable. Catchier wording: Wheres the fun in that? Alternate reply: I didnt know this was
a job interview.]
***
Is that your best line?
Yeah Ive been practising it all day.
or
Yeah, now its your turn.
[I wouldnt call attention to her framing of the situation. Reframe. Say Is that your best hair
color?]

***
Weirdo
Square.
or
Im glad you like it.
[Weirdo is a tough one. This is more of the female version of a straight up insult rather than a
shit test. A lot depends on the tone in which she says it. Id almost be tempted to backturn on a
girl flinging this at me. Alternate replies: Smelly cooties girl. Dork. Im blown away by your
scintillating conversation.]
***
Kiddo (from a sassy ho trying to take you down a peg)
Have you watched Kill Bill a little too often?
[I dont think Ive ever heard kiddo from a girl. Id probably just ignore it.]
***
Aw, thats sweet
Dont get used to it.
[Alternates: Im one badass motherfucking romantic. Yo, check yourself.]
***
Your clothes are gay/look stupid
You fuckin love it.
[Alternate: Try not to swoon.]
***
Are you gay?
No but my boyfriend is.
[Good answer. Alternate: Yes, Im very happy right now.]
***
From guys: You look like shit/ youre fat/ugly/skinny/short/whatever.
Thats not what your mother said last night.

[Alternates: Stay classy, champ. Are you for real? I thought douchebags like you were only on
TV. Is this a come-on? Sorry, I dont swing that way.]
***
You look like a player
Thank you.
[Be careful of overqualifying yourself when she asks you this. Good answer if she is seriously
concerned: I used to be, but those days are behind me. Good answer if shes clearly busting
your balls: Worlds biggest. One billion served.]
***
Sweetheart
Sugar tits.
[Alternate: Dont get clingy.]
***
Youre a nerd/geek (when you say something remotely intelligent or beyond a grunt)
Thats what dumbasses call smart people.
[Whoa, too spiteful. Trading insults is not gonna get you closer to a lay. Alternate: Absolutely. Im
too sexy for my pocket protector.]
***
Did you miss me?
I know you missed me.
[Alternate: Oh my god, I spent months building a shrine to you and dreaming of your return.]
***
Asshole
Thats mr asshole to you.
[Alternate: I do what I can.]
***
I cant believe you said that
*Dont reply; just smirk and nod*

[Ignoring her shit test is acceptable in this situation. Many shit tests arent meant to be answered;
they are merely meant to provoke an apologetic response from betas.]
***
A skinny twat (male): Is that shirt a size too small? (if youre jacked. This insult is leveled at any
jacked guy who wears a t-shirt, whether small or not)
Its all I could find in your mothers closet.
[Alternate: Couldnt help noticing, could you?]
***
I like your clothes.
Cool. I can take them off later to give you a closer look.
[Flattery can be as much of a shit test as peevishness. Betas will eat up flattery; alphas will ignore
or playfully turn it around on the girl. Alternate reply: Flattery will get you everywhere.]
***
I dont like you
Sure you dont.
[Again, how to respond to this shit test depends on tone. Did she say it coarsely, or with a
peekaboo smile? If the former: My heart will go on. If the latter: (with much theatricality) How
can I go on living?!]
***
Smartass
Its better than being a dumbass ;)
[Alternate: I try.]
***
Loser
If in jest (looo-ser): Shut up ho ;)
If serious: Oh, the L-bomb. You must be really upset.
or
Thats what you are, but what am I?

[Remember, the loser bomb is potentially the worst thing a girl can call a man. The female
equivalent is ugly. Much rests on her tone when she said it. I know you are but what am I is a
good reply to her if she has said it in jest; otherwise, Id ditch her without a moments thought.]
***
(From a male, or a warpig) Why arent you drinking, are you a bitch or something?
Your mother promised me buttsex if I quit the drink.
or
Im on acid.
[Alternate, if from a man: Why, are you looking for a date rape? If from a warpig: I need to see
clearly, if you know what I mean.]
***
Why dont you have a girlfriend?
I havent found one whos rich enough.
[Solid answer. Alternate: Just lucky, I guess.]
***
Do you have a girlfriend?
No, I have 8 of them.
[Alternate: Its complicated.]
***
*Grabbing or pawing at you* (especially by a guy, trying to exert dominance)
Hey, no touching, admire from a distance.
[Alternate: You can look, but no touching.]
***
Now for ones Im not too sure about. If you have any suggestions, lets hear em.
*She completely ignores you, or tells you to fuck off*
(just leave, unfazed, and open another set)
Still, this is embarassing, and hard to smoothly walk away from.

[Walking away like she doesnt exist is your best option. Alternate responses: Youve got the
wrong idea. Im interested in your friend/the girl sitting next to you. My hours not up yet. A
deals a deal.]
***
Are you trying to be funny?
You need to lighten up [eject].
[Alternate: Are you trying to be sexy?]
***
Angry, cunty tone: Who do you think you are?
[Fuck you, thats who I am. Or, on a lighter note: Im your wettest dream.]
***
Whats your name again? Ive forgotten? (Guys use this a lot)
[I.P. Daily. Hugh Jorgan. Seymour Butts.]
***
Youre a bum.
[The bum you love.]
***
Who did your hair?
[Your boyfriend.]
***
*You legitimately fuck up and blush hard* (e.g. walking to my young female professors class one
day I (loudly) declared to my friend I was going to skip next weeks class, and the professor could
lick my sack if shes unhappy about that. She was walking right behind us and clearly heard.)
[Well, there goes that D-.]
***
Douchey guy: Shut up, faggot. Haha, just kidding! Were all friends! (trying to exert dominance
an insult followed by a just kidding to shield himself.)

[No were not. You didnt get the memo? Or: Thats right, faggot! Faggot friends forever!]
***
Have you read The Game? / Do you know who David Deangelo/Mystery is?
(i.e. trying to expose you as a fakester or manipulator)
[A friend told me about it. Its pretty interesting stuff. Or: No need. I wrote the book on
seducing women.]
***
Im out of your league, honey
[The league of hot chicks? Or: Dont sell yourself short.]
Here are some other shit tests you may confront in your journey to pussyland, and ways to reply
to them.
I wasnt talking to you.
Good thing. I cant take much more boredom.
Are you a moron?
Sorry, Im not your type.
From a commenter: 400 guys emailed me on match. why should I date you?
Youre right. Better stick to dating desperate men. Or: I cook a mean fried beer pocket.
We are two totally different people.
I know. Im cool, and youre [nod your head and raise your eyebrows confidentially]
Hey, you said the same thing to that other girl!
Nice job, stalker.
Do you always come on to girls like this?
Only the ones who deserve it.
Why are you out alone?
So I dont have to listen to my friends whine about me taking all the girls.
Oh, youre one of *those* guys.
Your ex-boyfriend?
Dont get the wrong idea.
Youre a tranny? Or: Please, Im not that type of guy. Youve gotta wine and dine me.

Do you like my new dress/shoes/jeans?

Its nice for handsewn.
Whats your deal?
I hit on special needs girls. (Ok, not really recommended, but damned funny in the right
scenario.)
Is this the best you can do?
Right now? Yes. Or: Im not inspired enough yet.

Common Shit Tests

December 17, 2008 by CH

I bet you have a girl for every night of the week.

This shit test, and permutations thereof (How many girls do you pick up in bars?), is something
youll hear most often from younger girls who are used to having game run on them, but fall for it
every time anyhow. These are the girls who secretly love that youre a great seducer, and,
ironically, want you to prove it by denying youre a great seducer. Of course, its not as simple as
that; the form of denial girls admire is evasion, not defensiveness. Possible answer: Im a
romantic at heart. If some women are drawn to that, I can understand why. Or you could try
pseudo-redemption: I used to be the biggest player, but that lifestyle doesnt do it for me
anymore. Its part of my past, now. The cocky, unserious answer: One billion served! Notice the
common thread you never really answer her question.

Youre going to buy a girl a drink, right? Thats so sweet!

Alert the media! Girls dont get attracted to men who buy them drinks! Its a mystery to me why
guys still do this; it seems to me the primal sort of man (think military, or Ibanker) is most likely
to try to impress girls by lavishing goods on them. Nah, its just a common shit test girls throw out
to see how needy you are. The faster you thrust a drink into her hand, the needier you will appear.
Your answer: I dont buy drinks for girls I hardly know/Im getting to know, but you can buy me
one.

Are you always this big an asshole?

Context is important with this one. If youve been running tight game and her shiny eyes betray
her lustful yearning, this shit test is basically a green light to continue being an asshole. Answer:
You cant get enough of it. Otherwise, eject. You fucked up.

Hey, can we move the date/change the time? My cat yoga class is that night.
Sometimes this is a legitimate excuse. Most of the time, its not. If she agreed on a meeting time
with you, she was aware of her schedule. Therefore, any last second changes by her should trigger

your BS alarm. Youd be surprised how many girls instinctually default to this blatant shit test as
the date approaches. They cant help themselves. Theyre programmed to behave like a flake to
ensure your seed can jump their hurdles and land with a satisfying thud in their eggs. (Ive
found a helpful interpretation of courtship is to imagine your sperms are salmon swimming
upstream against the torrent of bullshit she sends your way, including hungry bears.) Best answer:
I can meet you at X time, same place. If thats no good for you, we can cancel. Your goal is to
instill the fear of loss in her, and let her know its her actions costing her the opportunity to bask
for a few hours in your virile glory.

You move pretty quick/Im not that kind of girl.

This faux indignation isnt as common as it used to be, mostly because the majority of city girls
are sluts, and they know that we know this. To plead otherwise would be the height of absurd
hypocrisy. Its over ladies; your carefully tended modesty is a relic from a bygone era. If anything,
the more testosterone-y variety DC lawyer/bartender chick will *brag* about her looseness. But
since blissfully unaware retreads still exist, you should be prepared for this shit test. Its critically
important that you dont fall into her trap and try to defend your honor. Best answer: Nothing.
Ignore her protestations for what they are decoy flares. Playful answer: You should see my
finishing move.

I love public sex/doing it upside down/kinky sex with ice cubes and strawberries.
Its a trap! If you havent had sex with her yet, you should avoid getting too excited when she
starts bragging about her sexual dynamism. Shes smoking you out of your burrow with a tasty
treat. The faster you pounce on it, the quicker she pegs you as a sexually undernourished beta.
Acceptable answer: Whoa, not so fast. Do you talk like this with your mother? Or: Thats cool.
But I need to be wined and dined first. Cocky answer: Hey, are you auditioning for the Maury
Povich show?
There will be future installments of Common Shit Tests.

Additions To The Shit Test Compendium

April 30, 2014 by CH

Shit tests, like boobs, come in all shapes and sizes. But, also like boobs, shit tests all share a basic
structure. You wont ever confuse a boob for a foot, for instance. Similarly, you wont confuse a
shit test for loving affection.
Continuing with the CH series of posts compiling the likely shit tests men will hear often from
women into a convenient playabase, a reader offers his noteworthy additions. Editorial comment
added at will.

Good day
I wanted to share with you some of the shit tests Ive received lately from women and my effective
responses I must add have been very successful.
Are you a player?
Yeah I play alot of guitar, mostly pink floyd, but i like gunsn roses as well. Do you play any
instruments ?
This is cutesy. Nothing wrong with that, it can work, but I prefer a more direct, and cockier, angle
of approach to this particular shit test, e.g., Like McDonalds, billions served.
Where are all your friends?
Come on sweetie lets grab some drinks and sit over there
or
Didnt know you were that lonely
The second one is decent. That can be reworded many ways. Why, are you going to steal them?
Does this work on every girl?
Not the unattractive ones *
or
What is it you are getting your head to believe that im trying to do?
Only on the cute ones is better. Your second reply is meh. It sounds a little defensive.
Why dont you buy me a drink?
Are you broke? Aww you poor thing!
or
Why dont you buy me one and I will buy the next round
What is that youre wearing?
This is called clothes, you are wearing them too, youre not the brightest knife in the box are you?
If she follow up with; I mean why are you wearing those clothes?Look away across the room
while you make one heavy sigh
The impatient lookaway punctuated by the heavy sigh is a great, all-round shit test nuke.
Why are you so cocky?
Hey if you are so much into cocks I know a better place we can continue this conversation
Be careful with this one. It could blow up in your face if the girl is still qualifying you.

Are you gay?

Go for kiss and grab her tits, if she rejects, smile smerkily [ed: smerkily?] and/or laugh, then say
did that feel gay to you? This works for all gay comments, what youre wearing looks gay etc.
This is straight up asshole game. Again, high risk, high reward with this one. The girl would have
to be somewhat pre-attracted for this pseudo-apocalypse game to work.
You never listen to me
Can you repeat that??
or
Sure Id love a beer
Classics. Shorter version: What? What? What? until she gets the joke.
You will get tired of me
Keep on saying that and yeah, I will
Come and meet my friends
Are they pretty? lets wait for ten more minutes
Do you find my friend (whatever her name is) attractive?
Oh thats the one with the round ass with long legs and big breasts with the nice smile, of course i
dont *sarcasticly* Dismiss every question that will come after this, denying her the right to be in
charge of the conversation
You are sleazy
You like it though
or
You are so stuck up I cant even give you a genuine compliment
You like it has been around a long time, but its always struck me as sounding forced, or like
youre forcing the girl to feel into you. Maybe a better wording (while sticking with the concept) is,
Is that a comment or a request?
You are weird
You are boring
You are boring
You are weird
or
You are lame
You are Creepy
You are lame

I know some of you readers are scoffing incredulously at these series of calls-and-responses, but
there really are aggro chicks who think flirting is the coarse art of getting in a mans face and
insulting him. Any dismissive and amused reply would work with these kinds of girls.
Do I know you?
Dont worry baby you will
See: You like it above. My guess: works best on girls who are already in the tingle zone.
Why are you talking to me?
Didnt know there was a no talking policy in this bar, Aaaah youre a librarian, I should have known
or
Because you look like a funny girl
That second line is a great neg. Does he mean Im funny looking, or that I look like I have a
sense of humor??
Its boring when its just the two of us hanging together dont you think so?
I agree, but its strange, never experienced this with any of my previous girls
A bit defensive. I would go with Better step up your game then! Reframe so that the fault for her
boredom lies with her.
I have a boyfriend
I have, wait, three aunts, two grandparents, and at home I have a guitar, this is a fun game, your
turn, what else you got?
How many girls have you slept with?
Are you very religious? or I dont think Ive slept with anyone today
If she asks again:
Counting back how far?
Since forever !!??
My memory is poor, dont think I slept with anyone today though *smirk*
These are good.
You are not my type
Are you sure? you seem quite desperate?
Harsh. Man you are hanging around some slores, am I right?
You are too horny
I can imagine youre really good at turning guys off, but seriously dont flatter yourself sweetie

If this dance of romance is in a loud environment, shorter is sweeter. For example, Dont flatter
yourself.
You are too direct for me
You are too indirect for me
Have you read the game?
Jeezzes, youre overanalyzing way too much, relax sweetie
You come off as a a little desperate
Easy girls have that effect on me
If she gets pissed: Reeeelaaax pussycat give me a smile (touch her face)
Im gonna need more background to this conversation. Where, who, when? How much alcohol was
involved?
You have a weird sense of humour
I wanted to tell you this other joke, its about my dick, but its too long
Your getting old heh?
Yeah thank god Im a man, Ill age with style
Still younger than you in woman years.
Feel free to use these if u like them, I know some of these are versions already used by yourself.
Ive invented some new ones. If just some of these can help to educate one desperate male im
happy. Im trying to put something back. Thanks.
Every man should have ten ready-to-dare replies for the most common female shit tests hell
encounter. All women are different, until theyre not, which is often.

Introduction:
Many in the manosphere seem to think that shit testing is a social device unique to
women; whereby a form of social test is employed to determine the social fitness of a
male in order to discern if he is a viable sexual option or not. Now whilst this isnt wrong
per se, it is an incredibly limited and rudimentary view of shit testing. Shit tests are a
basic yet vitally important part of understanding and applying the red pill philosophy to
your life. Even if you dont agree with red pill philosophy, shit tests still affect you. As a
basic social dynamic, shit tests are something so incredibly inextricable that youre going
to want to be able to identify and quash them as a matter of due course. Now without
further ado, let us begin.

What Are Shit Tests & What Purpose Do They Serve?:

Why are they called shit tests? Well when somebody gives you shit and fucks around
with your head to see how you will react, what you are experiencing is typically a (series
of) shit test(s). Everyone has been shit tested, gets shit tested and will continue to be
shit tested; Its an unavoidable part of human interaction. We use shit tests to make
value judgements about people and likewise they can be used to determine how
you cope under pressure. The underlying theme behind the mechanism of shit tests is
that they will always test your mettle. Hence the name is not only fitting, but
likewise accurate. Shit tests dont always have to be questions, they can be blanket (but
accusatory/provocative) assertions. These assertions will be designed to elicit an
emotional reaction from you and push you into a state of reactivity, causing you to reveal
information about yourself.
Ok, I get that, but why not just ask me what you want to know rather than play these
silly games?
Humans have a propensity to lie and tell people what they think they want to hear. This
is especially true of women and the effeminate men who emulate them; both are
consensus seeking creatures who crave group approval. This goes some way to
explaining why women regardless of social standing indulge in vapid social pleasantries
that men of substance have neither the time nor inclination for, but I digress.
On the immediately observable surface level the majority of people are concealing their
true identity. Thus in order to make accurate deductions about the personalities around
us we must challenge them subtextually and draw conclusions about what theyre really
like based upon their responses. Shit tests can be blatant or they can be covert, how
they manifest depends upon the intent and personality of the individual employing the
test. The sum potential combination of differing shit test scenarios is so vast that I cannot
possibly give an example of each and every possible outcome in this article. Therefore I
shall instead bestow you with the knowledge necessary to refine your own analytical
capabilities so that you may act accordingly when you find yourself being shit tested.
People have a tendency to exaggerate their own strengths and project a falsified
heightened image of themselves. If youve ever been on Facebook you will have seen this
first-hand. These people are not showing you who they really are or what theyre really
worth, instead theyre showing you their lifes highlights and leading you to believe
that this is how they live all the time, that theyre just that awesome. They want you to
believe their social value is higher than it really is. Well, surprise, surprise, people dont
just do this on Facebook, they do this in real life too.

Those who consider themselves a bullshit free zone, eg: masculine men will ball bust
(read: shit test your ass a new one) quite relentlessly to determine just how much of a
man you are. If you are an effeminate or timid man you will feel bullied rather than
challenged and that tells the group everything they need to know about you. You will fail
to understand that what you are experiencing is a social initiation ritual that all men must
go through when they are new to a male-dominated group. You will be relentlessly
ridiculed to determine what youre like and where you fit in on the pecking order. If you
are too reactive, you will be rejected and exiled from the group, or relegated to the
bottom position as the emotional punch bag everybody ridicules for cheap laughs. To
avoid finding yourself condemned to such a fate you must demonstrate you can spar
verbally without taking anything to heart.
Shit tests are used to determine your frame. Frame is a manospherian concept which
essentially means composure and self-control. If you need a visual metaphor, imagine
you are a work of art on a gallery wall. You are kept straight and presentable by the
frame you are kept in. If the frame was taken away, your picture would fold and you
would fall to the floor. In the physical sense of the metaphor, your canvas folds and you,
the picture, fall to the floor bent out of shape. Psychologically and symbolically, folding
means you have lost control and given up in the way that a player folds when they
surrender in a game of poker.
If you can keep composure/seem unfazed and/or assert your boundaries despite a shit
test, generally speaking you will be considered to have passed said shit test. If you get
upset, offended, doubt yourself or show weakness in any other way when shit tested,
then generally speaking it is considered you have failed the test. I will surmise this
section of the article with a valuable conclusion: passing shit tests psychologically raises
your perceived social value to the person testing you, failing shit tests psychologically
lowers your perceived social value to the person testing you. Pass peoples shit tests to
garner popularity and social success, fail them and you will become an ostracised
outcast.
Shit Tests & Game:
If a pretty girl says I bet you say that to all the girls (a run-of-the-mill standard shit
test) and you stand there with your jaw ajar speechless for what to say, you have just
failed her shit test. Your silence is not useful because she can see you are not wilfully
ignoring her, youre just stuck for what to say and that is visible. This is a huge social
faux pas that communicates stark social incompetency. An example of passing her shit
test? The infamous agree and amplify technique. If you were to say Yeah, but normally I
forget their faces and she follows up with So what, youre saying you wont forget
mine? (another shit test) and you reply with another agree and amplifyNot if you give

me a reason not to in a charismatic tone, then youve effectively used game to come
out victorious in that round of testing.
You cannot falter in the midst of a shit test. Sometimes they come out of nowhere,
completely unexpected and catch you by surprise; which is why being good at
conversational improvisation and word association are fundamental tool boxes to being
able to destroy any shit test that comes your way. If you are abstract/metaphorical in
your thinking and verbal skills you will have a lot of fun with shit tests. Men with subpar
wit and verbal skills tend to struggle with shit tests. As an aside to men who fall into this
category I suggest you watch more stand-up comedy to develop your wit and speak
more with people to improve your conversational ability. If you get good at speaking
shit which is essentially freestyle improvisational conversation based upon nothing more
than word association, observation and mockery; you will find passing shit tests to be not
only easy, but likewise immensely enjoyable.
Shit tests can be passed in a multitude of ways, so even when passing its not strictly a
matter of whether you passed or not but just as important is how you passed. For
example, people with a good sense of humour tend to accept negative labels and make
jokes out of them, we call this agree and amplify. Mentally violent people tend to
quickly find a flaw in the person attacking them and deflect by associating the shit test
with a weakness perceived in the original tester, thus attempting to humiliate them. We
call that a pressure flip.
Shit Test Passed & Shit Test Failed: An Example
Ill give you an example of a common shit test women use, for the sake of the example
lets pretend your name is Tom: Haha Tom is one of those player guys, you can tell just
by looking at him! It will sound like a complaint, but it isnt, its a shit test and she
wants to see how you respond to her bullshit. She is conjuring up inane accusatory
nonsense purely to incite a response and determine your level of confidence. After she
says this she will look at you to gauge your body language and get a better read on your
frame.
Strong response: Sounds like youve got an eye for talent. Body language wise give
her strong Im gonna fuck you till I split you like the Grand Canyon eyes, or be aloof
and distant as if to suggest her test is pathetic. Shit test passed, vaginas beginning to
moisten.
Weak response: I would never dream of stringing a girl along! and then you start
justifying how youre not like that eyes widening, palms are sweaty, wishing you were
at home with your mums spaghetti. Shit test failed, shes drying up.

Examples: Standard Shit Tests Women Use:

- Aww are you upset?! Translation: Are you a beta? Ignore it or agree and
amplify. Yeah Im going to go home and watch Titanic now.
- Youre such a player arent you?! Translation: Are you alpha?! Ignore it, be
mysterious/vague maybe, come find out or agree and amplify you dont know the half
of it.
- Buy me a drink!! Translation: Are you a beta? Compliance test. If you buy her shit
youre a chump. The correct response: No, you buy me a drink. You communicate
youre more valuable than she is. Only lower value men buy drinks for random women
they dont know. Unless youre preselected out the ass (eg: you own the club) in that
case you can buy shots for homeless men and nobody gives a fuck. The boss man gets a
pass for doing weird and insane shit that would see lesser men condemned.
- I have a boyfriend! Translation: I have Schrdingers boyfriend, demonstrate to
me youre high value and Ill fuck you regardless. It is hilarious when they say this. What
boyfriend, your imaginary one? Then laugh in her face. Sounds like youre shit out
of luck, Im going to have to fuck your friend instead, feel free to watch. Always be
prepared to get slapped when youre running this kind of obnoxious asshole game. Dont
say I didnt warn you. Consider the slap a sign she cares.
- I dont date short guys Translation: You look like a beta because youre not
physically imposing. Of course only guys who arent considered tall by the cultural
standard of the country they are in are subject to this shit test. The correct response is to
agree and amplify: Yeah Im a fucking dwarf even in my heels. There is nothing worse
than a short guy who is all messed up over his lack of height and gets insecure at the
first mention of it. Women will shit test you on this if you are short (or even average)
height wise. You have to seem like you dont give a shit about the fact youre not
considered tall. If you get upset, shell think youre weak because your jimmies were so
easily rustled. Be unreactive, no fucks should get given.
- Do you believe in love at first sight?! Translation: Are you a beta? The answer
to this is always no. Or if youre bold and dont give a shit about being slapped and want
to escalate with tension: I didnt but then I saw your titties on the way over and Ive
been having deep philosophical reconsiderations ever since.
- Can we be -just friends?- Translation: I think you are a beta that should do my
bidding. The answer to this is almost always no. Unless of course you dont want to bang
the chick (shes a uggo) and for whatever reason you think shed be cool to have around.

- How many girls have you slept with? - Translation: Do you get laid a lot or are
you a sex starved beta? Saying you have not slept with many girls communicates low
value. Exaggerate your number if its low. If its high give any old number assuming
youve kept track. Fail-safe responses: Ive lost count. What, today? Not many.
Pick a number, any number.
- Do you have a girlfriend? - Translation: Are you a beta? (Can you get laid?) The
correct answer is always yes (it increases your preselection.) Women love poaching men
from other women, they essentially find whatever is in demand to be attractive, thats
what we in the manosphere refer to as preselection. Ways to pass this test: she told
me not to tell anyone Were not Facebook official - I dont cuddle her after sex, so
no?
- I bet you have a girlfriend! Translation: I want to fuck you but I dont know if
other women find you hot. More overt variant of the above which assumes youre
preselected indicating a higher level of interest. Again, even if you dont have a girlfriend,
you should say or otherwise indicate that you do to increase your perceived preselection.
- Hold my bag for me! or Will you go and get me a coffee? (substitute
bag/coffee for whatever) Translation: Are you a complicit beta that will do what I tell
you to do? This is a compliance test to see if you are wrapped around her little finger.
Some variation of No or Hold/get it yourself does well. Sneer whilst you say it for
bonus points.
As you may have noticed from the repertoire of womans bog standard run-of-the-mill
shit tests, they are incredibly fixated on discerning whether or not you are a beta (guy
who doesnt get laid much, if at all.) If in doubt, err towards being an asshole. Being
identified as a beta dries up panties quicker than you can boil an egg in a Sahara
sauna. If you show boldness and exude a I will mockingly bullshit you kind of attitude,
youll do just fine.
Shit Test Variation & Severity:
You have three separate themes that shit tests fall under:
- Dominance
- Compliance
- Fitness
A dominance shit test is used to determine how mentally tough you are, eg: do you
always whine like a bitch? A compliance shit test is used to determine how much

influence a person has over you, eg: get me a coffee. A fitness shit test is used to
determine your social skills/sense of humour eg: you look hilarious when youre
crying. Dominance is an underlying theme behind all shit tests, however dominance has
is its own classification too. Fitness tests are normally also dominance tests, but a
dominance test can be employed purely to test/wrestle for dominance and have no
humour determining component attached to it. A fitness test merely wants to determine
your ability to banter and endure a verbal onslaught, normally if you fail at fitness tests
the tester wont want much to do with you socially speaking. In light of this, compliance
shit tests and fitness shit tests share some overlap with dominance shit tests, consider
them more specific sub-categories of dominance. As a rule of thumb, the more messed
up the individual is, the higher the stakes are, or the higher value the person youre
dealing with; the more severely you will be shit tested. EG: CEOs will shit test harder and
more frequently than office assistants, women with daddy issues will shit test more than
women who had stable relationships with their fathers.
In further example, interviews are essentially a collection of shit tests. Going for a job?
Youre going to get shit tested to see if youre worth employing. Those weird questions
you get asked such as if you had any kind of super power, what would it be and why?
and name your biggest weakness are shit tests designed to indirectly determine the
strength of your character, creative intelligence and confidence. Its not only what you
respond with that matters, but likewise how quickly and in what manner (are you
confident/dominant or unconfident/submissive?)
The name your biggest weakness shit test seems to be a question that continuously
protrudes and persists with employers nowadays. Its as if rather perversely they want to
subtly neg you and see how you handle it to determine how you deal with ego violation. I
doubt they care much for your introspective capacity. In generation narcissist
(millennials, but growingly, their baby boomer parents too) this of course leads to a lot of
confusion as well as butthurt: I dont know and I dont even but mummy and daddy
told me I was a special snowflake! As a freebie, my response to this shit test is: Im so
egotistical I dont even know what my weaknesses are and find introspection difficult.. so
I guess being blind to my own faults would be my weakness. Now ironically, that
statement is introspective, humble and paradoxical, so the answer is something of a
head fuck, however most times I have used it in the past it has been accepted as a valid
answer.
Bear in mind I use long words and elaborate metaphors as part of my linguistic register in
real life. It is natural to me. Using canned lines is bad because it means you lack natural
game and need to borrow from another mans wit. If you are not so wordy, it will look
weird if you are not congruently wordy but instead only wordy in the passing of a specific
shit test (because it is a line you have read on here or somewhere else.) This will arouse

suspicion that you have some sort of script pre-prepared because your answer seems
out-of-place in relation with how you would normally talk. So if you dont talk as
elaborately as I, you can shorten it to I dont know what my weaknesses are, is that a
weakness? At this point they may try to lead you to confess a weakness about
yourself. Treat it like a police interrogation where they try to get you to admit you
committed a crime, which in this context is equivocally: admit that you have a flaw.
When you say you dont know your weaknesses they will ask you a series of questions
under the guise of helping you, but in actual fact these are all overt shit tests posing as
honest questions Are you a bad timekeeper? No. Do you suffer from confidence
related issues? No. Do you have problems motivating yourself? No. Why would you
tell an employer that youre low confidence, poorly motivated and never arrive on time,
even if it were true? You want to get an employment contract after all, are they really
going to hire you with this kind of knowledge? If youre dumb enough to fall for these shit
tests, you lack the basic social competency to get yourself a job. It amazes me how selfdetrimentally honest people can be when they are put under even a tiny bit of social
pressure. Likewise going out on a date with a woman is a collection of shit tests to see if
youre worth having sex with, being in a police interrogation room is a collection of shit
tests, being heckled by members of the audience as a comedian is a collection of shit
tests, and it goes on and on and on. Shit tests are inescapable, so you better get good
at handling them.
- Basic Shit Tests Frame Probing & Word Play:
When most in the manosphere think of shit tests theyre thinking of basic tests designed
to probe your frame (mental stability, congruency and strength) via word play. Basic shit
tests normally manifest as insincere questions. An example would be something like do
you always talk to people like that? They can be played off as a genuine question into
the nature of your character, however its true intent is to discern how you cope with
being put on the spot. Basic shit tests usually rely on the element of surprise to catch
you unaware. An improvised basic shit test is spawned out of a play on words or other
some other similar facet of word association. The shit tester will take a statement of
yours and ask an associated question (or make a statement) which purposely distorts its
meaning in a somewhat hostile manner. Here are some examples:
You: I dont trust women
Them: Is that because you find women intimidating?
You: I like cookies
Them: Ill get you a gastric band for Christmas then

- Advanced Level Shit Tests Psychological Games:

Advanced level shit tests are subtle but retain plausible deniability. Rather than directly
questioning you or challenging you in an overt verbal manner, typically they will opt to
challenge you in a covert non-verbal manner. Inspiring jealousy by secluding someone
who would usually be included in something is a shit test, it is a test to see if you care
enough to voice your concern or challenge those opting to seclude you. Naturally,
seeming unfazed and outcome independent regardless of your contempt for said shit
test is the optimum way to handle things.
When people shit test you and its a lose-lose situation, opt to ignore them. You only win
by not playing. For example, if someone insults you publicly to try to stir up drama (and it
is assumed they will benefit from such controversy) your only recourse is to deprive them
of the theatrical controversy which they seek. Ive found that the more successful Ive
become within the various realms of my life, the more Ive had other socially dominant
men try to test my mettle by flagrantly disrespecting me just to see what Ill do about it.
It can be subtle and implied, or overt and explicit. Either way, not playing is oft the only
winning move in such a situation. Even if you can come out on top in a battle of wits, you
sink a lot of your precious time combating nonsense that you gain nothing from.
When youre powerful, other people see opportunities in attempting to bring you down a
notch or two and they will try to get you to react to inanity merely so they can latch onto
your reputation and pull themselves up. It is for this reason that the art of silence;
ignoring your enemies overtly is a necessary skill set that all men looking to preserve
their accumulated power should master and employ with regularity. It is simple, when
you feel someone provoking a response from your ego, interject your emotions with the
question is there a way for me to benefit from responding to this? if the answer is no
then replying is pointless. Let reason override emotion. These kind of shit tests are
normally obvious in that theyre designed to put you on the defence. Once you get
caught in a web of shit testing, you will often find yourself justifying your choices and
explaining your actions, which wins you no respect and just digs an even deeper hole.
Non-Machiavellian logic fails in handling shit tests, people do not respect rationality, they
respect only indications of high status. Explaining yourself, no matter how rational your
explanation is will be perceived as a demonstration of low status. Do not justify yourself,
if you find yourself explaining yourself in the midst of an argument or theatrical device,
youre losing and would be far better off just immediately exiting stage instead.
At the advanced level you find there is a lot of blame shifting, typically in discussion the
shit tester will try to convince you that you are somehow responsible for any flaws or
weaknesses of theirs. Women particularly seem to habitually blame shift, its not only a

self-defence mechanism to diffuse feelings of inferiority or guilt but it also acts as a shit
test because if you accept the blame, you will be seen less favourably.
You: Come on you need to pull your weight around here.
Them: If Im lazy its because Im following the stellar example you have set.
Now of course the dialogue above could be a perfectly healthy part of banter, but bear in
mind that an inability to banter has the same effect as failing a shit test within a serious
context. Whether pleasurable or not, banter is simply shit testing for the sake of mental
stimulation, and like more serious shit testing you still need to be able to respond aptly. If
your ability to handle shit tests is poor, head on over to the red pill comedy
page and watch how comedians deal with hecklers.
- Nuclear Shit Tests:
A nuclear shit test colloquially referred to as going nuclear or the nuclear option is
when someone does something which violates conventional social boundaries in order to
see how you will react. These are a step up from advanced level shit tests being more
extreme in nature, usually bordering on psychological/emotional abuse. They can be
covert (removing all the money from your bank account and feigning ignorance to see
how you deal without money) or overt (somebody taking a bite out of your food and then
staring at you in the eye.)
Nuclear shit tests are designed to test your reaction not by probing your psyche with
words, but by probing your psyche with actions that would typically be expected to
offend, hurt, disrespect etc. Say youre with a girl and youve hooked up a few times.
Shes a plate pushing for commitment but you havent given in to her demands. Youre
both out at the club and she starts grinding on another guy. Shes doing this to make you
jealous in an attempt to force your hand. Shes using dread game and trying to get you
to commit to her by inspiring competition anxiety within you. Dread game when used by
women is a nuclear shit test. How do you pass this shit test? Go talk to other girls, when
it inevitably comes up later she was grinding respond with thats cool (it signifies you
dont care in a positive manner) or you can do what you likeetc. Realise she did what
she did for your benefit, to test you: its all about you. If you werent there to see it, she
wouldnt have used another man as an instrument to manipulate you into giving her an
offer of exclusivity.
Passing Shit Tests:
There are many mechanisms which one can employ to pass a shit test. Passing a shit test
means you have responded to the test in a way that either neutralises the testers

challenge or causes them to perceive you as confident, dominant and valued. Before we
begin, a note on agree and amplify: agree and amplify seems to be the shit test buster
of choice in the manosphere. Agree and amplify is really good for making jokes, but if
used inappropriately eg: in the presence of potential violence, it could make things worse
by actually escalating instead of defusing things. If a violent man walked up to you and
said Do you want me to fuck you up? (this is a shit test, but he will do it if you fail) and
you agree and amplify on him: Yes in the ass please instead of being impressed by your
wit he is likely to respond: So you dont think Im serious? Let me show you how serious
I am followed by an attempt to beat the hell out of you. Be conscious that not all shit
test busters work in all scenarios. You have to use your common sense and calibrate to
the situation and determine what shit test solving method should be utilised based on
the context of the situation.
Now lets say you approached a woman and began the conversation with an improvised
opener, and she replies: I bet you use that line on all the girls. Here are the various
ways in which you could pass her shit test. They are plentiful.
Agree and amplify is the usage of the logical fallacy reductio ad absurdum (Latin for:
reduce to absurdity.) What you do is you take someones criticism and nonchalantly imply
it is absurd by exacerbating what they have said. So in relation to the shit test at the
beginning of this section:Yeah I literally wake up in the morning covered in bitches its
that effective. It is this device which is the bread and butter of Rollos theory of
Amused Mastery.
Disagree and amplify is the same as agree and amplify except you disagree rather
than agree with the premise. So in relation to the shit test at the beginning of this
section: No youre the first girl Ive ever spoken to, I used to be a mute.
A pressure flip is where you reverse the social pressure put on you back onto the
originator of the social pressure. So in relation to the shit test at the beginning of this
section: I bet you think everythings a line because youve got trust issues.
Agree and pressure flip is the same as a pressure flip except you precede the flip with
agreement. So in relation to the shit test at the beginning of this section: Yeah I do, Im
sorry, did you think you were special or something?
Disagree and pressure flip is the same as a pressure flip except you precede the flip
with disagreement. So in relation to the shit test at the beginning of this section: Nah
youre too ugly for me to be dropping lines on.

Ignore Provide no acknowledgement of the shit test by ignoring it. This is a bad choice
when you have just met someone, but once your reputation and/or superiority has been
established it is a great way of nonchalantly invalidating the importance of an enquiry. It
implies what you said isnt even worth addressing. This is best used on people who are
lower in the pecking order than you are or as a response to the manifestation of stupidity.
If someone asked you if you liked to eat your own excrement, you could have a joke and
agree and amplify into something about a sewer using your keen knowledge of word
association and semantic fields, or rather simply you could ignore the inanity of
the question. The choice of style is yours to make and will be contingent on your mood,
your relative social positions in relation to one another and what you suspect the shit
testers intent is.
Misdirect Change the topic of conversation to something else, this invalidates the
enquiry by providing no acknowledgement of it. In this sense it is similar to ignoring a
shit test. There is a chance however that the tester will become annoyed by your
invalidation and will thus retest you until you pass with a more effective method. This
works best on people with attention span issues, as they will often forget how they were
testing you once distracted, and if they ask you what they were saying you can simply
feign ignorance, invalidating their test and condemning it to beyond the grasp of their
engrams. In relation to the shit test at the beginning of this section: Have you farted? It
stinks.
Ridicule Reframe This is major asshole game or what I personally refer to as Patrice
ONeal Game. You use this kind of game to bring incredibly narcissistic and angry
women off the ego pedestal. Dont use this on timid sheltered women if you ever want to
sleep with them, theyll get too intimidated to act upon their attraction. Ridicule reframes
are particularly helpful in bantering with other guys, who relish in the verbal violence and
ensuing laughter it can inspire. In relation to the shit test at the beginning of this
section: I bet youre single because your face looks like a 9/11 crash site
Pseudo-Gaslight This one is really simple. You pretend you have no idea what the
person shit testing you is talking about and accuse them of making things up. So in
relation to the shit test at the beginning of this section: What line? Got an active
imagination have we?
In Closing:
I wanted to include dark triad shit tests in here to complete the compendium of shit test
related information, however I feel that as the dark triad portion of the site operates as a
standalone section; having its own article would make for more optimised archiving and
searching should someone specifically want to look up how dark triad individuals shit test

people. Not only that, but due to its intricacy this piece has become far longer than I had
originally intended and I do not wish to be intentionally terse in my discussion of dark
triad shit tests just to keep the word length down. Dark triad shit tests will be the topic of
a future article.
