Why would a man want to test a woman?

Given your posting history here at a2k? Not shocked that you still don't understand that some human nature involves playing silly games with each other.

That's it. Some people are jerks. This person in your example (hypothetical or not) sounds like a useless jerk.

How else do you think we should answer given how vaguely worded and lacking any context the question is?

Why, indeed!

Refer to previous answer....in almost the same post.

Why don't you do the opposite ---- when he asks you to call - you don't. That would simplify the answer. I still cannot believe the two are you are in your 40s or 50s (can't remember which but I know it was one or the other)

Sounds more like teenagers.

He might want to find out if she's ticklish.
You know, give her a test tickle.

Sorry
