 So, you’ve busted through the girl’s bitch shield. You’re sliding into home base, right? No, sir. Not if you are dealing with a high quality girl. A high quality girl is used to getting hit on. Not only is she used to getting hit on, she’s used to letting some guys past her bitch shield. Now, she’ll hit you with some “tests” to ensure that you are truly worthy of her time. Welcome, gentlemen, to the shit test.
 
Shit tests are gages sent out to a guy upon first contact to see how he deals with “x” variable. It is an equation projected on a guy to see how he “deals with it.” It’s her way of gaining control, putting the male into a passive position, and asserting her own indirect control over the situation. The situation, by the way, is your entire interaction.
 
This is a slight tangent, but just so you understand my use of the word “gauge,” I will share a female secret. I often feel like a traitor to my sex, but I am assured by the fact that I feel I am helping men become better candidates for interaction. Actually, I’m doing a favor to all womankind by sharing this secret…
Women often use kissing a man to “gauge” the relationship. Whether it’s a two-week-old relationship or a two-year-old relationship, they will use kissing as the litmus test to “feel out” what a man is “thinking.”
 
This test works because women are born with an innate sense of subtext and ulterior motive, cued by body language. Women are able to, even on a subconscious level, read body language better than most consciously aware males. According to women, men say one thing and mean another. This is why women use “gauges” to “feel out” or “test” men. It’s a way to cut through the bullshit and get to the true meaning of interaction. The initial gauge you will ever face with a woman is the shit test. That is, if you are so lucky to break through her bitch shield.
