Full Definition:
Hoop theory is the basic idea behind a compliance test. Often, when a girl asks a man to do something for her, she is trying to see whether she can get him to comply by jumping through the hoop. AFCs will usually jump straight through without hesitation, in a show of supplication, compliance, and beta-male behavior. Such approval seeking behavior is a DLV, and is very unattractive.
A PUA will only do a favor for an HB after she has done something for him (i.e. buying her breakfast after sex). PUAs can also throw hoops, or reverse frame a hoop the girl has thrown, and throw it right back at her. For example, if an HB asks, “can you buy me a drink?”, the PUA could say, “I am more than willing to buy my friends drinks, however I don’t know you well enough yet. Why don’t you get this round, and once I get to know you better I can buy the next 2 rounds for the night?”
