I'm opening this thread because it's the thing that interests me the most, not just with PUA, but with life in general. I'm a quiet, intellectual guy, and I'm in good shape but I'm very skinny (one of those guys who can't put on weight). Because of that, it's usually easier for other guys to feel like they intimidate me (most don't physically, because I also do martial arts). Basically, I have trouble being the Alpha Male when there's another one around who is alpha due to his size. The big football jock kind of guys. Please post your ideas, theories, and/or practices of how to out alpha male the other guy.

It depends on how they try to intimidate you. Keep in mind that 90% of the time there's no way they're actually going to assault you in a social area (under normal circumstances, that is. Be wary of variables such as drunkeness, but if you know martial arts taking out a big, drunk fuck wouldn't be a problem), so you don't have anything to be intimidated by at all. If you can show that nothing they do intimidates you, then they lose all their AMOG power.

This is because "jock" guys are used to being naturally AMOGenetic due to their size, so they aren't used to being AMOGed by something other than size. So when they try to intimidate you, cut them off in their tracks and they'd be left dumbfounded

Ex.

Jocky dude: Hey little guy, move over!

You: Did your mommy ever teach you manners? Say "please" and I'll think about it.


Jocky dude: That's a stupid shirt(/pants/whatever) you're wearing!

You: (nonchalantly) Thanks for noticing. (continue side conversation)


Pretty much standard AMOG destroyers. I, being 5'9 160lbs. run into this a lot and thusly I get a lot of practice. I hope these couple examples give you a good idea of how to deal with "jocks", and if you can give me more specific ways they try to intimidate you I can come up with some responses to them

If my post made me appear homosexual, I want you all to know that prior to sitting down at my computer I slammed 15 shots of whiskey, went balls-deep into my woman, and recited Clint Eastwood lines for 20 minutes.

Okay, here's my example and true story. Last week I went out to a lake with a bunch of people my age and while making my rounds (I knew 1 person there, so I decided to be proactive and talk to everyone) I introduced myself to said jock. He immediately started twisting my words, anything I would say, to make me look stupid. He called me a Unic, and eventually I told him to stop thinking about what's in my pants. That worked out pretty well, but it wasn't until later in the day that I said that, after he cut me off and said, "I won our banter. It's over." This is something I've run into before, because guys just seem to like making jokes about other guy's manhood. Kinda lame if you ask me. But what would be some good things to say (besides what I already did) in case I run into the situation of some guy making jokes about what's in my pants?

Ask him how old he is, then after he tells you, simply say, "Then act it." Maturity is a gift, some people lack it. Call him out on that.

Not exactly relevant but I'd like to respond to where you said you can't gain weight. That's not true.

Are you lifting weights? Are you eating constantly? The answer to the last question is definitely 'no.'

As a matter of fact, I am. But that's really not the issue. Like I said, this thread isn't about my size being the factor.

Hey mate sure i can help you, as im one of these guys, i have really broad shoulders and other guys will do the same thing to me but just in a different way ''wats up big man'' and guess what it made me feel like shit....just because it does, i think its because we all want to be perfect, as in hair color, build, eye color etc etc, but we cant so we take offense if someone notices something different about you.

I even gave up lifting weights because i didnt like being so big. I only workd on my abs/legs for half a year because having muscle and having broad shoulders and the whole big man shit got me pissed off

I don't care now when people call me big man because i know it makes me a bigger threat in a guys mind, and the girls i talk to always say they love my shoulders because they feel protected. That might not make you feel better but i just wanted to say bigger rugby type built guys are insecure too. Atleast unless they deal with it like i have.

A bit against the grain for all the pick-up stuff...I mean everyone things its about competition. Why no befriend them? Keep your friends close and enemies even closer. You never know when you need an Alpha dude to back you up. Nothing melts people better then being nice. Give it a shot and see how it works.

I was trying to be nice. He's the one who turned it into a competition. I'm not trying to make enemies, I'm simply trying to come out on top when the bigger guy has the physical advantage. And some examples of how to disarm the guy in the instances above would be awesome.
