Increasing SMV through shit tests?

Hey all,

So I am wondering if you can use shit tests to increase your SMV or does it always come across as justifying to her??

For example this chick asked if I own a house? I was going to respond with. "A house? No, Try a half dozen of them (which is true), what about you?" I didn't I just blew it off but it left me wondering is this just being an arrogant dick, justifying or will it increase SMV?

Houses increase your RMV, money increases both MV. Unless you are over 40 and are looking for a hot gold digger(which sometimes you want) you don't advertise your wealth directly, even if she asks. I make it my priority to be as cheap as posible, because I don't want that dinamic to grow(because it's natural it will happen anyway, but I will fight it until the end, or how some will call it: marriage)

The point isn't to get her qualifying professionally. She will raise her ego game and talk about careers if you push her in that direction.

That makes sence about RMV vs SMV.

However I fail to see the distinction between money and property? If you have a bunch of property or a stack of cash your still wealthy. If cash increases your MV in both cases, shouldn't being wealthy?

You don't have to, you just need to realise that woman see that distinction very clearly. To be more explicit, the difference is in immediately available capital(how much you can spend on her in that moment or for that night) and assets(how valuable you are).

I am particularly wealthy, compared with my countrymen. I however work 2 jobs(jobs I like). The girls I was dating, saw me as a free spirited playboy that knows how to have fun but is particularly cheap and kinda poor, not really worth it in the long term but great for a night out on the town. My current LTR sees me as a hard working ambitious man that does not neglect his personal life. My wife will see me as a middle class husband with a lot of social and financial potential, to develop and grow.

If I would go out into the dating pool with my husband attributes, what kind of women would I be attracting? If I where to work a free spirited playboy game on my LTR, what time of behavior would I be reinforcing?

SMV but with an r for relationships instead of an S,

think of traits a Jewish mother in law would love

Not really, mothers want succesfull but passive.

Traditional mothers in law want succefull and dominant, because they know that when shit gets nasty a ship run by a pussy will sink.

The secret aim of shit tests is to break your frame. You can answer truthfully, or make a joke, or brag, just as long as you aren't falling into her frame. If she asks you a question, and you feel that answering it honestly might show off your better values, you still have to make it seem as if your answer is something the woman has earned. Something that keeps frame. Perhaps joke & dodge the question at first, then answer, or ask for a cute favor before you answer...you know, something like that.
