Another thing I do when I have a tall alpha yet AFC friend with me (he does the pat on the head thing to me, wich I find annoying) Is put my elbow on his shoulder and push him a bit down and back, showing that he is kind of my pet

I know it's weird but even though he is taller and tries to bring me down to my own size. I kinda use him as a pet, he will literally stand there for a few minutes while I lean to on him like a wall and I will get the girl, He can take the less pretty friend if he wants. (He doesn't do the pat on the head thing anymore as he knows I do this when he does it

)
PS. I developped this back in my AFC days, because, yeah If your 1,65 and hang around 1,80-2,00 Alpha's you need something.
