| just shows how damn attractive the girl is, not how much these guys randomly hate you
they just envy you man, that's all
if you were with some uggo, no one would say shit, they just want to be you, don't take it personal
if you are going to react or what ever and say anything at all, at most just talk to the girl
''wow, guys are trying hard to get at you tonight, how'd I get so lucky haha''
if guys are tooling you hard in a social group, just roll with it and don't allow it to make you mad, just either ignore them (as long as your ego can handle it) or talk some shit back to show them that they have to risk being tooled, in order to do some tooling, and if you can tool people with the best without giving a shit about what someone says about you, you can put people in to ''be quiet mode'' but the most important thing, is just don't lose your temper, or your emotional cool, stay completely fucking dead inside or happy inside, what ever suits you (lol hopefully you're not dead inside), mad = you care, you care = what he/she is saying is actually important, between two people, the stronger frame absorbs the weaker frame, if you truly believe what he/she is saying is not important, others including that person, will start to believe it too, the more the guy/girl gets the feeling that your frame is stronger the more they will react, and feeling like you are not important or de-valued is not a good feeling, it will usually make a person angry and resentful, or insecure and quiet, but it really depends on the frame they are coming from, one of the best tactics to handle this IMO, is continue leading, but ignore the negativity as if they didn't speak, but you have to hold that frame, if you are just quiet all the time cause you are insecure you are reacting, but if someone talks some shit, and you say nothing, but while they are talking later or what ever you just keep talking and it doesn't bother you, you're value is fine, if they try to tool you again and you have something to say, and you're just like... yah sure.. cool man, and you just say what you have to say and seriously don't care, same thing, the less you react emotionally, the better
I've had a few conversations that started with some guy insulting me, my favorite is when a guy starts calling me a faggot, or trying to tool me by framing me as gay, sometimes my ego gets involved and I get into it instead of ignoring it, just to stop the behavior cause I don't want to listen to some guy pipe up and call me gay all night, you don't even have to say anything ''witty'' to beat him in a battle of wits, the strategy is just to be unoriginal, use his own insults against him, if you can't think of anything just repeat back exactly what he said in a retarded voice that mocks him, keep the focus on him and off yourself (don't answer his questions, or comply with his demands), if you don't know what to say point out what he is doing and put a negative frame on it, or agree with him and blow his words out of context, you can also strawman a guy, start a thread building him up really high, but make sure there is a negative frame associated with it (tongue in cheek/sarcasm), or you can just compliance test him (tell him what to do, the smaller the demand the better)
so for example
guy:you're a faggot
you:you're just saying that cause you want to suck my dick
guy:no blah blah blah more hateful shit about you being gay and him not being gay
you:yeah... sure thing there queer boy, lol
or the agree and blow it out of context
him:yeah well, don't front we all know you're a big loser fag
you:sure am, but you're the master, you taught me everything I know about being a big loser fag
or mocking the guy
guy:blah blah blah, gay, blah blah blah
you:blah blah blah, gay, blah blah blah, haha shut up queer boy (totally irritating high pitched immature voice)
now the thing is with this, the words don't matter, it's the guy who stays the most emotionally congruent who holds his social value, so just don't lose your cool, sometimes having some ego driven pissing contest can escalate to a fight
but there is always framing his actions as ''low value'', and the most common trolling tactics come to mind, (he can do the same thing)
him: NO, YOU'RE A FAGGOT AND RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE (raising his voice and emotionally reacting)
you: well, looks like you're getting mad, why you getting mad man? you're not gay are you?
this kinda of thing usually just leads into a pissing contest until a guy has a full blown spaz attack and either shuts up and leaves you alone (this lowers his value as long as you don't react and can still lead), or has a full blown spout of yelling (don't react, or yell with him and escalate it, just keep egging him on to get worse and worse, this also lowers his value as long as you don't react and can still lead) or he will just try to fight you (this is the downside of tooling someone, just don't fight him, don't comply with his demands, some girl you barley know is not worth getting in a fight over, and if it's your girlfriend, it's up to you... some nights suck more then others)
so basically, fights if they can be avoided, should be avoided, no one likes a broken hand, or a soar face, just because they felt they had something to prove due to big ego... but hey, it happens, no one likes to be put down and dis-respected, regardless of skill level, emotional control or what they say, unless you are a sociopath you will always care to some degree, the trick is to be as proactive as possible so that you can maintain a strong frame, and keep your emotions in check, either that or don't feed the fire
