The dude likely has insecurity issues and is not typically a violent person so he came off as a passive insulter. Just brush it off. He probably felt like an idiot after.

Yea I should have just brushed it off.

Sometimes this just happens.

There are some really crazy people in this world who aren't on these forums and aren't learning social skills. Unfortunately, those people can act in strange and bizarre ways because their emotions mess up their psyche.

I agree that if a girl likes you she won't let her friends shout at you.

Therefore, in this situation, I'd just accept that these people are crazy and messed up and you're better off looking elsewhere for a more sane crowd.

As for stopping it happening, I used to think you could, but I've been out in the field for over seven years, and however good I am at socializing, I still get guys acting all tough and threatening.

Most of time if you hold eye contact and say something cocky, you can feel good about yourself, but I'd still sarcastically say, "Nice meeting you," and then make my way over to another set. If anything, you can use their bucket of crazy as an opener.

Note; of all the threats I've had. No-one has ever followed through. The most contradicting one I've had is this:

"If I were her boyfriend, I would totally hit you."

My response: "Ha! But you're not her boyfriend...."

Most threats are just empty words.

Thanks for your feedback. Some guys just let their ego get the best of them. I was merely speaking to his friends. No amount of jealousy can justify his aggression. The only thing I can do is brushing it off. As you mentioned, it's hard to stop it from happening. Interaction is two-way. Bad response from a set can be due to the fact that my game was sloppy. It can also be due to the fact the set was not socially calibrated. My encounter with these people can definitely be a good opener. I agree with you that this kind of threat is usually empty. Most people just go out to have a good time.

If we're talking social calibration, be socially calibrated enough to leave. It wasnt jealousy or insecurity on his part, you were in a group that didnt want you there. "Neutral" girls dont want you there, and odds are after he said whatever and you left, the chicks thanked him. Cockblockers and AMOGs are a myth, most of the time, its one person kicking you out of a group because the others dont want you there. If someone is telling you to leave, its a sign the group wants you to leave and you're not taking hints. Cant tell you how many times Ive seen guys talk to chicks, the chicks are laughing but clearly not interested, their guy/girl friend read the signals, kick the guy out and the guy who approached walks away thinking he got "cockblocked." Again, if the girls want you there, their male friend isnt going to interrupt.

Thanks for your feedback. One girl was on his side. Two girls were pretty neutral. They were slightly shocked to say anything. I wasn't upset because I didn't get the girls. I think I can learn from the interaction because there was no counter move in the situation. Let's say I work out with few of my female friends at a local gym. A guy use his pick up line on my friends and me. I can easily brush the guy off by stating the fact that my friends and I don't speak with strangers. My friends are most likely going to agree with me. There is no come back from this.

There was one time I went out with my wingman in Ibiza. We opened a set with two Irish girls. There was a guy trying to cold approach us. My wingman told the guy that the girls were uncomfortable with his presence. The guy thought the four of us were friends. He didn't know my wingman and I were just passer-bys. He actually walked away afterwards.

Why would you preemptively be looking for ways to stop guys from talking to your friends? Sure, if a guy is bothering your friend, say something if you want. If the Ryan Gosling looking dude comes up and chats to you and your friend, she's probably gonna look at you like you're crazy. Why do you care if some guy wants your friend?

I haven't stopped guys from talking to my friends in the past. I want to experiment new things. I reckon the earlier I brush the guy off, the better it works. It's impossible to pick up a girl if a pick up line is not allowed to be delivered at the first place. How well is it going to work in the long run? I am skeptical about it, but I think it doesn't hurt to give it a go
