On Direct Game

Follow up immediately with something funny or intriguing to distract her. "Change her mood not her mind."

=========

I also really like Style's line about "I grew up with sisters, and teasing was a form of affection". Also useful here.

Another concept I think is important is that when you heat up the situation, people will crave rapport. Like the way I befriend AMOGs is to turn up the heat on them, but then say "Dude, I'm joking around man. I'm not fucking with you. What's up man?" The AMOGs immediately befriend me, because they felt the emotional/physiological heat of the interaction, and they want relief of discomfort. So the same goes with the girls. I don't react or acknowledge the girls' pissy behaviour, and then I heat it up a bit, and then I apologize.

Thoughts? ==

if you see a friend when you're out with a chick, or get a phone call, or anyone starts to interact with you,

Just say "This is my little sister." Then talk to your friend and completely blow off the girl. I say this because this is exactly what a girl will do even to a guy that she likes, and because it is 99% guaranteed that you can just walk back into the set and continue. This is called a "takeaway" and is a great time to conclusively demonstrate to her your lack of neediness and that you have better things to do with your time than to pick up chicks.

I also enjoy using typical chick excuses, as that is a preference that somehow amuses me. Blatant lies that girls use on guys who hit on them, like coming back to her and saying "Where did you go?" when I was the one who walked away. Or leaving them when they go to the bathroom, and they phone me and ask me where I went, and I just say "Ummm, I got lost." Another great one is that if another girl is looking at me while I'm in another set, I'll just walk off without even saying that I'll be back, and open the girl staring at me (who is undoubtedly attracted because of social proof). Then I will move the girl out of view of the previous set so I can makeout and take her phone number, and then return into the previous set and say "That was my friend." I will also say "She just came and talked to me. I don't like her", if I don't want to claim that it is my friend.

All of these I got from girls, and work consistently. ==

I think its great that you befriended the AMOG, and that you are starting to see a correlation between AMOG'ing guys and then finding it actually easier to befriend them as a result. You're noticing that you can get guys who would otherwise ignore you actually qualifying themselves to you, just by your demeanor and a few well timed words.

I agree with the earlier response to this thread that maybe in this case there was no real reason to do it though, and also would add that your AMOG line wasn't that funny. Also that maybe you were being a bit of a dick, which is no big deal because as we learn this stuff we will be initially incongruent with it and we will overdo it at times. I overdid it both with AMOG'ing and C&F and generally talking too much or being too disinterested and all that, for much of my development. It's all part of the learning process, and its definetely to be expected. I still make social mistakes due to miscalibration and as well due to the fact that I am still a newbie myself with a lot to learn. I think better could have been to have said it in a way that was complimenting him by comparing him to something ridiculous. Off the top of my head, you could say something like "Duuh duh duh duh (theme to movie "Jaws") POOL SHARK.. Uh oh, watch this guy work!.. This guys' probably even better than my little cousin Jimmy.. Bro, you should meet him man, he would totally play against you.." Notice that this line doesn't even make much sense, but its not identifiably nasty or mean or anything. I also don't know if this line is even that funny, and wouldn't know until I actually tried it. It's not field tested. It follows the model of something that might be though. Point is that I've noticed that its really important to keep it funny, so that it doesn't come across as insecure in any way. It's sort of weird how it works, but if what you said was funny, then people just assume that you said it as a joke and ignore that it was designed to lower anyone's status for your benefit. That way you can have their status, and they'll enjoy the process too.. Win/win. :)
