Shit-test Cheat Sheet

Shit- tests are predominant in the beginning of an interaction but never completely diminish and become more subtle as a relationship/interaction progresses. A shit-test is any statement, question, or move made in attempt to lead you through the other persons hoops. To successfully pass these tests You must recognise yourself as the ultimate authority first, in your mind, and second, in the interaction. Any lapse or falter made on your behalf carries with it the potential to be eaten up, as Females have an amazing amount of social intelligence.



There are a number of ways to pass a shit-test, some more subtle or friendlier than others. way 1: Ignore the comment or question spoken by the opposing member. This way is more subtlely played but you must continue what you were saying. Should the question be asked again or the statement repeated pause your thread and correct the target with something to the effect of" excuse me, wait your turn", or "Dont be rude", then immediately pick your thread back up. By taking careful notice of the member you should be able to pick up on their body language. If you can tell that the target might ruin the interaction for the rest of the members an effective tool you can use, especially with Amogs, is to reposition the remaining members so that it appears as though you have isolated the nuisance from the interaction.



in a more personal interaction with fewer parties I tend to remain on a friendlier note and RETURN the shit tests. I.E.: she asks: How old are you?, or Are you gay?. In a situation like this there are a few ways to answer their question. I prefer to either tell them what they want to hear, or make a ludicrous statement yet tell it with a serious, no b.s., tone.

hb: Are you gay?

me: only on thursdays, so i guess your safe for another hour or so....

HB: How old are you?

Me: 12...(or) 452 years old but you have to keep that as our secret because people refuse to believe it and theyll try to subject me to some strange tests in a bright flourescent room...I hate flourescent lights!



Another effective way to avoid shit-tests is to throw your own out there. I.e: How old are you?, I actually prefer blondes, Your not gay are you? oh god, another girl only interested in sleeping with me! Youve got ten seconds to tell me what makes you almost as cool as me. Anything that would cause them to defend themselves is ideal.



The ideal is to come from the frame that" you'd be lucky to get to know me, what makes you deserving of my attention?" This frame carries extreme weight in most interactions, especially online. Girls are constantly hounded by guys who come from the mindset of "here, let me show you that im good enough for your attention... please" Thus, anything in the way of a neg or less than princess, usually catches the target off guard and makes her instantly defend any insecurities she may have. This lands the ball in your courts and successfully through all shit tests
