How Women Test Men in Relationships and What to Do About It

Nov 12, 2024

I want to talk about something important that many guys don’t realize: women test men to see how strong they are emotionally. They do this to figure out if you're really the right person for them. These tests can make you feel like you're not good enough, but I’m going to show you how to spot them and handle them like a pro.

Why Do Women Test Men?

Women test men because they want to know if you’re strong enough to be with them in the long term. They want to see if you can handle their mood changes, their emotions, and if you're truly confident in yourself. If you show weakness, it can make her feel like you’re not the right partner for her.

How Do These Tests Work?

Here’s how the tests usually go:

  1. Withholding Attention: Sometimes, a woman might stop texting you back as quickly or act distant. She might do this to see how you handle it. If you start feeling anxious or insecure, it shows that you might be too emotionally dependent on her.

  2. Changing How She Communicates: At times, her texts might go from friendly and full of exclamation marks to short and less friendly. This shift in communication is another test to see if it affects your mood or confidence.

  3. Testing Physical Interest: In long-term relationships, she might pull back on showing affection or initiating intimacy. This is to test if you feel insecure or if you’re still emotionally strong without her constant attention.

  4. Acting Busy or Tired: Sometimes, she may act like she’s too tired to see you or that she’s too busy. This is another way to see if you stay calm and collected or if you get worried about her not wanting to be around you.

How Can You Pass These Tests?

The key to handling these tests is to stay confident and show that you're strong emotionally. Here’s how:

  1. Keep Your Confidence High: Women are attracted to men who are confident. If she sees other women are interested in you, it keeps your value high in her eyes. So, stay active, work on your fitness, and look your best.

  2. Have Your Own Life: Don’t make her the center of your world. Keep up with your hobbies, hang out with friends, and don’t be afraid to say no if you don’t want to do something. This shows you’re not relying on her for your happiness.

  3. Stay Cool and Collected: When she pulls away or acts distant, don’t react emotionally. Stay calm and don’t let it affect you. If you act confident and unaffected, it shows that you can handle these little tests and still stay strong.

The Bottom Line

The truth is, if you’re looking for comfort and emotional care from a woman, it might be better to get a pet. Women are naturally wired to test their partners to find someone who is strong and capable. If you want to keep her interested, you have to show that you’re emotionally strong and have a life of your own.
