Burgundy Pill Ideas: Shit Tests

a quick tidbit on shit tests and how to think properly about them

When you are planning to work on your car, what is the first thing you do after you put it on the jack stands? You give it a solid hip-thrust to make sure it’s not going anywhere. Why? Because you want to be sure as hell that thing is not going to fall off before you ever consider putting your life at risk but going under it. This is entirely rational.

Women are doing the same thing when they shit test you.

By having any kind of non platonic relationship with you, women are putting themselves in a precarious and potentially dangerous position. Any night with any man and one too many drinks and the next twenty years of her life may be spent dependent on him, raising his child. And women’s limbic brain understand modern inventions like birth control, contraception, and abortions as well as your brain understands drugs, porn, video games (ie they don’t). She needs to feel confident—early and upfront—that you are competent, capable, resourceful, intelligent, and powerful enough to give her and her offspring the maximum survival potential her SMV can secure before she is going to let you anywhere near her pleasure tube.

Shit testing you up front is a sign that she is interested in you. However, if she never stops shit testing you, something is wrong.

Coming back to the car analogy: You aren’t going to hip thrust the thing unless you are considering getting under it. But what reasoning would you have for doing this move every single time you stand up to grab a new tool? You are either a total psychological mess with deep trauma from past experiences with faulty stands, or you just have good evidence suggesting that these stands are faulty.

Similarly, if you are frequently having the deal with combativeness, power struggles, bitchiness, rudeness, etc in a woman: She either:

A. has years of poor maintenance from abusive or incompetent previous owners and you should next her to find a model with less miles, or

B. thinks you’re a loser and you should next her for the same reason you should next the opportunity to drive in F1. Your lack of experience is at worst going to end up seriously injuring if not killing you, and at best costing you a life time in money to pay back the damages you did to the car.

In my estimation, and seemingly in disagreement with most of TRP, anything more than one “act up” a month is pretty much a guarantee that she is settling for you out of scarcity and fear that she can’t do any better.

If you frame is truly strong, if you have completely internalized that you have important shit to do, can get other women, and choose her only because she is a literal angel rather than the only thing you can get, women will feel that in their bones and they will never feel the need to shit test you beyond the initial vetting process.

I can count on my fingers how many times my wife has shit tested me in our entire relationship. I can’t even remember when the last one was. And I can only think of one I would classify as “bitchy” or “rude”. All others were very feminine but clear opportunities for me to demonstrate courage, strength, experience, and interest.

If you are not having a similarly smooth experience, you either need to work on your ability to vet women; or your frame, mission, and mindset (or both).

Until you are the one doing the safety-check hip thrusts—you testing her for her worthiness of your time, energy, vulnerability, and genetic life force—you shouldn’t be committing to jack shit.
