LMR is easy to explain. As a rule of thumb, most of pick up can be explained through social psychology and evolutionary psych. LMR is explained by evolutionary. LMR is like Mans version of approach anxiety, while we were tribal hunters and gatherers, trying to mate with the wrong woman/ in the wrong way could have resulted in a physical confrontation or in expulsion from the tribe, so this fear of approaching has been entrenched in Mans nature. On the flip side, LMR protected woman from being impregnated by the wrong man, which could lead to a myriad of issues like abandonment while vulnerable and pregnant/ wasting of child bearing yrs/ embarrassment from other members of tribe.
Shit tests are less simple: they are a part of human nature, not just women's. We shit test perspective friends, inmates shit test in prison, there are endless examples. The basic principles are that we don't care about or want to be around people that we perceive as not valuable, once they prove to be cool/ fun/ attractive, we will be inclined to like them.
Yes but what research do we have that confirms LMR is similar to approach anxiety (without the adrenaline... according to Mystery) and that it is actually biological and not conscious resistance. I have had LMR with girls a few times but I can't put them into an MRI to see what is going on in their heads when I'm trying to get laid lol.Shit tests are less simple: they are a part of human nature, not just women's.

Also the only evidence that I have found for shit tests and the existence of filters is something known as "filter theory". It explains that we look for relationships (friends and lovers) that best fit our own personal needs and interests such as similarities, propinquity, etc. It doesn't explain how women challenge men during the mate selection process. Shit tests come in different categories. They also don't just happen in pickup. Women test men throughout the relationship. It's how she gives him a "mentally challenging" relationship. I have found that negging, dominant behavior (cavemanning, AMOGing, etc.), over-aggressive advances, and appearing weak or needy after previously being controlled and alpha seeming to trigger shit tests. Knowing more about this phenomenon and how it relates to the mating process could prove beneficial as it may be a way a woman screens a man out for value because they seem to become more attracted when he "passes the test" (whatever the f%#k that qualifies as in the woman's brain).
Thanks anyway though
