As you already have girlfriend your self-esteem cant be that low, but you should consider
1. Get another girlfriend (secret)
2. Lose the bet
3. Truck repaired
4. Reveal that you have actually won the bet
5. Win win situation that's a rare one

I think the real question on all of our minds...
Do hookers count?
But seriously...
Here's what ya do, matey: You cant just not do anything, then she'll say you were just doing nothing to get free repairs, and you cant go get another girl. Women might be hard to understand, but if there's one thing I've learned from them it's that they never what you to do what they actually say they want you to do, unless the thing they say they want you to do is "Take out the trash." So, you must do something completely different. Try! Yes, try, and fully fail. Try hard to fail. How, you ask? Like this! Go to bars with your current girl so she can see you try to "hook up" with another babe. Pick girls who are the same attractiveness level of your current girl (trust me, that's a whole 'nother road of pain) and use lines like "You have boobs. I like that in a woman." Or "We can mate in 176 different ways. Care to learn how?" So long as you're out of earshot when you make these statements, your current girl will feel sympathy (and jealousy) as you're slapped, spat on, had drinks thrown on you, kicked in the nuts, etc. Not only will you lose the bet (winning new truck parts) but your girl will feel sorry for having put you in that place in the first place. That is, the place of setting you up to fail.
So. Listen to my wisdom, and go forth, be the worst ladies' man that ever walked this green earth, and you shall find your reward soon.

Meh if it sounds too good to be true, id say this requires Admiral Ackbar's attention.shadowstriker86 said:
its a test! why would you even think about looking for and picking up other women? other than the obvious - why not? She is testing you, if you want to stay with her then don't do it and think of it as a gift that she is going to repair your car.
Chicks really dig the pouty self-hating type. Look at that glittery vampire guy. Chicks love the fuck outta that guy.
You've got a good chance.

Two possible issues here. The first, and the most miserable since that seems to be your thing is that maybe she's looking for an excuse to dump you. You cheating on her would be the perfect excuse.
Secondly, even if she thinks she could deal with it, the reality is considerably worse than the imagined version. If it all goes wrong you end up losing the one your with now for the sake of a bit of a fling with someone who casually picks up guys for sex (and why would that stop if she did enter a proper relationship with you). Personally I don't think it's worth the risk if you're happy with your girl.
Self-esteem issues are only a problem if they affect your day to day life. My girlfriend has a really low opinion of herself, which I'm forever trying to counter because as a performing musician she's worried I'm gonna run off with some random skirt. But since I'm not it's not a major issue.

It sounds like your girlfriend either is cheating or has given it serious consideration. Why else would she offer to allow you the chance to be open on your end while she has to be dedicated to you. If I'm wrong, then it means she's incredibly naive, and you may be too. I hope you don't take this as an insult.shadowstriker86 said:
An open relationship should be bilateral; when it's not, you have to wonder why the other person would agree to such a thing.
But this does prove my theory: your girlfriend isn't going to give you better self esteem (though she can help). That's up to you, and when you realize that it really is a choice things will start to get better pretty quickly.
My knowledge of US historical figures is pretty limited, but I take it that's Adam Smith?Darkside360 said:
No. She's lying. She probably does want you to feel better about yourself. That's as far as you can let this go.
Win the bet, then tell her you don't need her to fix your truck, and that you'll do it yourself. That, or call it off tomorrow. This can only end badly if you do anything else.
Remember my words, in three months, you will either have complied, or know I was right.

This is a trick, but not in the way most other people are saying its a trick.
Your girlfriend has self esteem issues. She is trying to make you feel the same way, so that you don't get adventurous and leave her. She is giving you something for not cheating on her because she doesn't want you to leave because she feels like she can't find someone else if you do.
I had a girlfriend who was exactly the same. She tried to tear me down so that I felt like she was the only person for me. Unfortunately I didn't have the INTERWEBZ to teach me that this was wrong, and I fell for it. But once she started getting demanding and abusive it really clued in that I had to end it. Afterwards, I felt like I would never get someone else, but it slowly came back to me that I was always fine at getting girlfriends because I am a sincere, honest, hard working person and I happen to have a few other good traits as well.
So now, I am in an amazing relationship with the woman of my dreams, and she is probably alone, maybe even tried to kill herself, and definitely much worse off than me.
Edit:
As for what you should do, wait 3 months, get your truck fixed, then dump her sorry ass. Unless she is the hottest piece in the world, there is no reason to stay with her.
