Most dating advice programs and books discuss women's tests in one form or another. These tests usually involve women's behaviors or statements that push a guy in a certain derection and test his reponse. For instance, a woman might say "You are mean" at a certain point in a conversation to see if a guy would bend, beg for forgiveness and would promise to never do whatever he did that brought about the woman's complaint, or whether he would tease her about it and treat her like a crying baby. A woman might talk very highly about her ex, which is also an unconsious test to see whether the guy she is with would get jealous or will play it cool and laugh the whole story off.

Many guys wonder thoughout their dating journey about how to respond to women's "tests." Many dating advice sources out there discuss different ways of passing those "tests" - from firing back at woman, to ignorning them altogether or using "cocky funny."

Unfortunately, the problem with most dating advice on tests is that it breeds certain hostility in men towards women and directs them to treat women as if they were some kind of enemy or a rival that needs to be tricked, beaten and conquered. I wish to assure you that you will achieve no positive result in any area of dating, if your behavior and interactions with women are motivated by anger, competitiveness, rivalry and desire to "win" a battle with women. And dealing with tests is not an exception to this rule.

There is a much better, healthier, and a more effective way to accept and deal with women's tests - appreciate them and feel lucky that they exist! Why? Because these tests are an excellent opportunity for you to show your confidence and your other attractive qualities to women without doing much - all you will do is simply respond to a woman's tests in an original and witty way.

Thus, the next time a woman, who you just started seeing and who seems to like you, tells you that she is going out on a date with this guy she just met, don't be one of those jealous, insecure guys who would freak out and would start interrogating her about who that guy is, why she is going out with him and whether she likes him more or less than you. Instead, encourage her to go out and have fun with that guy. Go even further and put yourself down by saying playfully something like "Perhaps you will be lucky and he will be a real man and not like me. Let me know if I can take some lesson from him." This will communicate beyond any doubt and in the most compelling way your confidence and your lack of regard for competition from other men - qualities that are very attractive to those women who are worth your time and attention. Also, appreciate the honesty of a woman who is interested in you and yet she is putting her interaction with you at risk by being so open and honest with you and telling you the truth about going out with that other guy. How many of us, guys, would do the same? Needless to say - not many!
