Gay Test
Quick Definition:
A test used by less experienced PUAs to calibrate their kino.
Full Definition:
The gay test is the name for a simple mental exercise developed by Gambler of PUA Training, used by pick up artists to gauge the level of their kino. The idea behind the gay test, is that when a PUA is kinoing a girl, he asks himself “would I feel gay if I was doing this to a man?” If the answer is yes, then their kino is bordering on the sexual, whereas if the answer is no, then their touch is probably fairly casual.
When kino escalating, it is usually best to start with lower levels of kino (unless the girl is clearly attracted and throwing strong IOIs), and gradually amp up the sexual tension, and the gay is a good way for newer PUAs, who might not have a lot of experience touching women, to gauge how heavily they are kinoing their target.
The gay test can also be a way to determine the attraction level of a woman. For example, if a pick up artist is kinoing a target at a level that would be considered “gay” if done to another man, and the woman responds positively and does not flinch away, it should be considered a strong IOI, and the PUA should escalate towards a close.
Usage:
Use the gay test to gauge her attraction level.

Definitely a great way of thinking of things for new guys. It works essepcially well when going in for a kiss too… “how would I react if a gay guy did this to me”. You can put yourself in either shoes and it still works.
By the way, not that it really matters but this technique should not be credited to Gambler… This theory was floating around on masf way before he was on the scene. :)
