I would disagree with the "plenty" statement but that's just semantics. Y'all do the testing whether you're conscious of it or not. The degree to which you do varies HEAVILY ofcourse.

Yup. And men even do it a little. Men are more likely to engage in rational, conscious, explicit testing and guiding. Like "wtf are you doing, this is illogical!" Men and women learn from each other and learn to become more accountable.
May we all find a robust, resilient relationship that encourages self growth 🤝🥰🙌
If the testing is unconscious on the part of the woman, then how much of this testing is just men feeling insecure and wanting validation from women? And what could repel a woman faster than an insecure man who constantly needs to be told things are ok?
I think a confident man who is secure in himself probably does not have this problem often. Similarly, a confident woman who is secure in herself is probably not out here testing anyone, insecurity is obvious and easily avoidable.
Maybe the "plenty" semantics is just a numbers game. Of all the woman I know, the vast majority would not trifle with those types of games. But a small proportion absolutely love playing mind games on insecure men because it gives them a thrill, maybe that smaller proportion reads as a larger part of the population to men via a variation of prospect theory?
