A bit of background:
I have a girlfriend of a year and longer. I have no intention of cheating on her or pulling when I go out, however when I do go out I want to practice game and keep my game healthy in case my relationship ends and my game is shit because of neglect. So when I go out I flirt, I joke, I become the sex-worthy guy but never do anything because I have morals.

Anyway I went out last night. I live with two good looking girls (7 and a 9) and I haven't been out with them for ages! so I last night we went out because I thought yeah why not? practice my game.

Some sticking points arose.

1. I noticed that these two friends of mine were problematic as they essentially were treating me like a beta male (basically because to them I have tried to be nothing but a friend with no other intentions and so it makes sense that they treat me like that) so when we got there they had me take pictures for them and they said "good boy" and equally ridiculous stuff. Now I know one shouldnt take shit like this but I was unsure how to react as I was trying to be fun and alpha so I didnt want to be like "no! Im not taking your pics" and so I did take them.

Now, I am friends with these girls purely because they are perfect pivots!. I essentially obtained my gf with the fact that I usually went to parties with four women and 1 male friend (a group i carefully picked out for my game)

I got my girlfriend and now I live with them but because we are very different people and I don't go out as much we have grown apart.

What should I have done here?. I have gone out in the past without them and obviously it is better as you are setting your own frames however they are very good value and all of the women at this party looked me over because i walked in with these two in heels and with big tits.

Anyway the other thing I struggled with but managed with is dealing with other males.

Since reading books on evolutionary biology and watching RSD talk about it a lot I am always assessing who is the alpha male of any party.

When I arrived last night I made a point of introducing myself to everybody!, it was interesting that the room was split up into the girls side and the boys side. I realized I needed to befriend the guys first so I did.

Now I am rather short and I often have problems with men making me look beta by not even trying to do so.

Problems usually are :
they stand in front of me (intentionally and unintentionally)
if there is a circle of people talking or a packed room I am usually stuck outside

any help with this

from the night I want to say that I had great progress in some elements though. Opened so many people its mental, was essentially out with people I didn't know at the beginning of the night and I went from being the guy who nobody knew and was valueless to walking into the club with the alpha of the group (they were a hockey team) and having all of them know my name and laughing at my shit jokes.

One of them said "I respect you man, you came into a party and knew nobody but you didn't just stand there and not try you came over and said hello, that takes balls. You're a good guy!"

if you read all that, thanks
