All right, I've removed most of my sticking points, but I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get past the infamous Bitch Shield. How can I get past them?

Depends on the specific bitch shield scenario..

If target puttin up her own bitchsheild, u normally have to neg her out of it, make her fight for ur attention then u can put ur wall around her and her bitch shield is nulified.

If the bitchsheild is from her friends etc, u need to work out a way of flippin the "group attraction/approval" if other girls find u attractive they may try to bitch shield their friend, this seems as tho they are "saving" them but realistically they are "saving" u. The other half of bitch shield is actually defensive work.

I dont normally get hit with bitch shield often and that is because I neutralise any threats when I open sets, then I make sure when Ive isolated the girl my rapport is high with her group etc.

If she jus aint having it then make sure u really really really put it on her fat ugly friend lol

Well the one that I'm trying to game at the moment is using it defensively, avoiding questions a bit, that sort of thing. I'm not letting her cat string me though.

make answering questions playfull, if ur making it feel like an interview she may well see ur questioning as intimidating hence building a bitchsheild up.

The easiest to break down are the ones they make themselves, as soon as u figure out why shes putting her defence routines into action the quicker u can break them down or move round them.

Ok so communicating truthes about herself seems to be the problem, maybe play sum 5 question game, Ive never or maybe even the cube to try and get quesioning involved in a playful way.

If u can build the rapport and attraction, comfort shud start to replace the bitch shield in no time

Great idea, thanks a lot!
