Editing Shit test

A shit test is a tool women use to evaluate men. They are means of flirting where women throw you a faux indicator of disinterest to see how you handle it.<ref>Shit Tests 101 https://www.reddit.com/r/trpgame/comments/23tth0/shit_tests_101/</ref> If you respond in kind, you pass. It is a form of mirroring each other's level of investment.

So ''why'' are rapport breaks a form of flirting? The main reason is that it gives women a degree of emotional stimulation. Plus there's the fact that most men buckle to women's shit tests and don't respond in kind. This demonstrates a lack of social acumen and emotional maturity. Those who "pass" show they can handle the woman's BS and is "on her level", so to speak. This is where the evolutionary theory comes into play: you're demonstrating her faux negativity doesn't phase you and that you're an emotionally developed person who isn't going to melt down at the first sign of trouble. Ergo you'll be able to protect her when threats to her safety emerge.

== Passing Shit Tests ==
There are various ways to succeed or 'pass' a shit test.

=== Agree and Amplify ===
'''Agree and amplify''' is the usage of the logical fallacy reductio ad absurdum (Latin for: reduce to absurdity.) What you do is you take someone’s 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 it’s that effective.”''<ref>The Shit Test Encyclopedia https://illimitablemen.com/2014/12/14/the-shit-test-encyclopedia/</ref>

=== Disagree and Amplify ===
'''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 you’re the first girl I’ve ever spoken to, I used to be a mute.”''

=== Pressure Flip ===
'''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 everything’s a line because you’ve got trust issues.”''

=== Agree and Pressure Flip ===
'''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, I’m sorry, did you think you were special or something?”''

=== Disagree and Pressure Flip ===
'''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 you’re too ugly for me to be dropping lines on.”''

=== Ignore ===
'''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 isn’t 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 tester’s intent is.

=== Misdirect ===
'''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 ===
'''Ridicule Reframe''' – This is major asshole game or what I personally refer to as “Patrice O’Neal Game.” You use this kind of game to bring incredibly narcissistic and angry women off the ego pedestal. Don’t use this on timid sheltered women if you ever want to sleep with them, they’ll 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 you’re single because your face looks like a 9/11 crash site “''

=== Pseudo-Gaslight ===
'''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?”''
