Full Definition:
Role reversal is a great technique in prizing and reframing a situation. Basically, any witty line from Will & Grace or Sex and the City can work. It is anything a woman would typically say to qualify the shit test the PUA, which he can reverse to do a role reversal. For example,
PUA: “Let’s slow this down. I need more comfort and trust before escalating further with you”
PUA: “I don’t usually do this, but since you are so charming…”
PUA: “I don’t have sex on the first date, just so you know. I am only promising good conversation tonight.”
PUA: “Alright, fine. You can sleep over. But don’t get any ideas about easy sex. I am so not in that head space right now.”
