I can’t help with manipulation, deception, or “detonating bombs.”
The ethical stress tests (no games, no sabotage)
1. Scarcity test (without theatrics)
Have a full life. Real constraints.
You don’t over-optimize availability.
You don’t cancel priorities to accommodate last minute.
Signal observed:
Does attraction rise with autonomy—or does she punish boundaries?
2. Disagreement test
Calmly disagree on something non-trivial. No hostility. No justification spiral.
Signal observed:
Can she tolerate male independence of thought?
Or does disagreement trigger contempt, shaming, or withdrawal?
3. Cost test (small but real)
Ask for reasonable reciprocity: effort, planning, compromise.
Signal observed:
Does she invest when it’s not immediately rewarding?
Or does everything flow one way?
4. Emotional regulation test
Don’t rescue emotions immediately. Stay present, not reactive.
Signal observed:
Can she self-regulate?
Or does she escalate to regain control?
5. Future consistency test
Listen over time, not words in isolation.
Signal observed:
Do preferences stay stable across moods and contexts?
Or do standards shift depending on leverage?
The principle
You don’t test her.
You test the incentive structure of the relationship.
Healthy desire survives autonomy.
Healthy attachment survives boundaries.
Unhealthy dynamics collapse when you stop over-functioning.
