I keep seeing shit testing get thrown around a lot in here.
Just a word on shit testing. If a girl is testing you, it’s a good thing. This is not something you are wanting to avoid. It is however something you are wanting to learn to respond to correctly.
Women “shit test” you for a reason. They are interested in you as a potential partner and are wanting to make sure that you are the man you claim to be. This isn’t something that is done just to annoy you for shits and giggles. It is something hardwired into women, they don’t even know why they do it at times. I recall one of my very first girlfriends at 15 said, and I quote. “I will test you. I don’t know why, but it will happen.”
I never understood what it meant and why for many years.
In relationships they have to invest so much more than men, physically and emotionally. They are ensuring that if you are the guy they will invest emotional time in, that if they end up having a kid with, that you will be the strong man you claim to be when they truly need that strength, whether it is physically or emotionally.
Some suggested reading… David Deida’s The Way of The Superior Man.
Just my two cents on shit testing, if you don’t like it, you can give me a refund.
I think we actually count shit testing on here as a hit not as a bad thing. All hits are good, even the bad ones. Unless they hurt. Then that would suck so you better be ready to take a hit otherwise don’t wear the mone.
All comes down to the level of consciousness… an awful of of people, men and women, are on autopilot in ways they are totally unconscious of… they’re just replicating patterns they observed as children without any reflection or thoughtful analysis of what they’re doing or why they’re motivated to do it.
On my short list of highly desirable attributes, consciousness (of self, of others, of environment) comes in right at the top. People playing tapes, on cruise control, dancing to tunes in their paleomammalian brains, are not a heck of a lot of fun to be around.
I see this all the time, often from people who sure as hell ought to know better, suddenly they go from semi-mindful to running an hypno-trance-script… it can be mildly amusing, or a necessary formality, or annoying and stupid as all get out…
I’ve been busy at work, so have not had time to update the other thread but I’m currently seeing and getting close to a woman who reacted remarkably to MX347.
I’ve read elsewhere here that the shit tests from women sensitive to higher status-related behaviours and pheros like 347/314 can be a lot harder and more subtle than those influenced by other more social/sexual pheros.
And yes, I am now tending to agree - Smart Girl has fairly been chucking-out the shit tests these last two weeks.
