My wing and I realized we need to open guy sets too to demonstrate Leader of Men and get win over guys so we amp our value with girls and perhaps avoid being cock blocked later. We started to think of the entire club and one big set, and I think this will help with our forward and backwards merging too. Now that we're doing club and bar game much more often and mixed sets and everything, we've started to get some AMOGing. I opened a mixed set earlier in the night that included one guy. Later that night that guy was with just 3 other guys outside the club. I opened the set just to develop my skills with guys. Well this guy AMOGs me even when no girls were around. He's like, "You guys are like the Night at the Roxbury guys." I ignored it; my wing was like, "Yeah we fucking are and high fived one of the other guys." The other 3 were loving the story we were telling about a girl fight, but the Leader wasn't. He said some other shit, and I responded like, "Oh yeah you're really funny" (with a dry sarcastic tone and breaking rapport tonality). What are suggestions for dealing with AMOG "jokes" like this in mixed sets and sets with all guys?
I have so many problems with so much of what you wrote... But as this topic is about 'AMOGs' I will try to remain on topic.
Who set the tone?
most people misunderstand dominance.
They think it's about always steering the conversation in the direction they want it to go, but nothing can be further from the truth.
If you have to constantly fight to say your piece, how truly dominant are you in the end?
No, dominance is a vibe. It's very simple to understand; in your presence, what's the vibe you want set?
If is it light and fun? Or heavy and violent? Is it tense or relaxed? You choose.
Once that's done, then all you really have to do is maintain it, but here is the caveat:
you maintain a vibe through your own being. What this means is that, you don't actively try to impose a feeling on the people around you, instead you maintain it within yourself.
So from the outside, what does it look like? This dude is tooling you, saying you look like the guys from Night at the Roxburry, and what do you do? You answer him. He's trying to make you feel small and he succeeded.
Shut up.
That's really all you need to do. Don't address him, don't talk to him, dont even look at him. This dude does not even register in your reality. Why? because he is trying to ruin the vibe that you set. Are you going to let him get away with that?
Hell fucking no.
Most guys have a weak sense of self, and completely ignoring them will crush their identity really quickly. I'm not saying that you need to go around being mean to people, I'm just saying that it's best to ignore people like that.
The other night, I was out with a dear friend. He's one of the kindest guys I've ever known - great heart, amazing person, but not a very good looking guy, nor a very imposing one. He walked up to these beautiful girls and started talking to them, when this dickhead shows up and puts his arm around the girl my friend was interested in and said "That's my girlfriend man". I saw this and I snapped. I'm not a vindictive guy but this dude clearly picked on my friend because he knew he was harmless. I turned to the girl I was talking to and asked if they knew him. Nope. Great. I walked up, extended my hand, the girl took it. I pulled her into me, and turned my back on the guy. I basically boxed him out of the group. For the next 5 minutes or so he stood there saying stupid shit - I dont even know what cause I wasnt even remotely interested in listening. Eventually though, he gave up and left.
That's the only way to deal with supposed 'AMOG's'. You get to a point where you realize that the overwhelming majority of guys in the clubs are faking it. There are very few lions left.
