Ultimately if you're with a group of friends...ESPECIALLY if you're competing with someone over a girl...there's not much you can do to prevent someone from making fun of you (Sometimes in whats meant in a friendly way). Any retort for this other than making fun of them back?

If they're maliciously making fun of you then you need to employ amoging tactics (if it's a man), or just leave if it's a group of women (Maliciously laughing at you! <-- that is when your status is diminished because you're being excluded from the fun)

However, if they're laughing at you in a jovial and teasing way you should LAUGH ALONG WITH THEM and poke fun at yourself. If you're witty enough you can poke fun at them aswell. Inclusive laughing is brilliant for building rapport . exclusive laughter is damaging to status. Note that teasing and banter are not damaging to status.

One of the best way to deal an insult is simply to laugh at it because it diminishes the status of the insulter.

I actually don't know very many AMOG techniques...for some reason in the couple videos I've seen they don't really cover it...some mystery stuff and david deangelo...then i've seen a lot of clips but never full videos of other PUA's...

I just read up on a Tyler Durden article for how to deal with AMOG's and it doesn't seem like a HUGE threat to me...but I could probably use some more pointers. Do you have any books or even preferably videos you could reccommend for dealing with AMOGs?

He is definitely one to watch. He is so comfortable around people. He also has the right attitude, 'Does not really give a shit'. If you have this attitude when trying to meet women then you will have much more success.

I only sarge during the day so I never meet any of these kind of obstacles.

But here are some techniques which I think would work:

Laugh at the amog to lower his status (but only if he's being nasty to you, otherwise you'll come over as nasty yourself.)
Show that you're not affected by what he says by not engaging with him. If you're not affected by what he says then it shows that he has no power over you. NEVER GET ANGRY OR UPSET. Choose to be happy and jovial.
Do not jump through his hoops <--- If he asks a loaded question, don't answer it. FAMILIARIZE yourself with HOOP THEORY it will hugely help you)
Touch the amog. Put your arm around him and pat him on the back, etc. (HE WHO TOUCHES IS THE HIGHER STATUS)
Use language which defines your status relative to him, call him your little brother, call him Jr., etc. )
Use humor back at him... If he says something funny against you, say that he's funny enough to be a clown or something.

Personally, I would never use the techniques above (except Hoop theory) unless they were ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. To me they're quite obnoxious and luckily I avoid most of this by approaching in the DAY.
