| I don't like confrontation. It's not my style, 9 times out of 10 if somebody starts crap with me I roll my eyes and ignore them or walk away. This mostly comes from experiences at bars and parties where I almost got into fights with drunk dudes over virtually nothing.
It's tougher though when one person is constantly starting that kind of shit. In thise case it's a guy I know who I sometimes go to parties to or just run into when I go out. The entire time he goes on about wanting to hook up with every girl he can at a party, and the sad part is he's not really good at it. He gets shut down 5 times, kisses one girl, maybe dances with one more, and acts like he's the greatest alpha male ever. Me? I like to chill back, have a couple drinks when I go out, and hang with my friends. If I see a girl I wanna talk to, I do it at my own pace the way I want to. Rather than let me run my own game or work with me, this guy will literally drag me across a room to chicks he's talking to. I end up way outta my comfort zone, and I realize that's not always a bad thing.
The problem is that if we're ever disagreeing about what to do, who to talk to, etc., he freaks out. Like I've almost fought the guy 4 or 5 times in the year I've known him because he flips out whenever a guy tries to tell him what to do, no matter how smart the suggestion is. Sure, avoiding him would make things easier, but I want tips for dealing with overly aggressive AMOGs because odds are it'll come up with other people.
Next time I see this guy or someone like him, let's say that I start talking to a girl and he steps in trying to push me out of the conversation, how do I assert myself without having to throw a punch and get kicked out of the bar/party?
