Quote:
As I was on my way out of the venue, I saw a girl that I thought, in my drunken haze, was someone else. So I went up, gave her a huge hug, and asked her how she'd been. Then I realized that the girl wasn't who I thought she was.
And she had four dudes with her, including her boyfriend.
Oh well, fuck it. I'm already in set.
She took the opportunity to congruence-test me on the most obvious thing she could spot: my clothing.
Girl, in bitchy, accusatory tone: "I just have one question for you. Why are you wearing four shirts?"
By the way, if there's value to peacocking, it's this: congruence tests become extremely predictable.
What did I do? Did I try to logically explain my clothing and qualify myself to this girl? Did I try to bow out gracefully and say something to apologize for what I was wearing? FUCK NO. I maintained my happy fun vibe by giving her a response that, while totally logical, completely failed to answer the gist of her question.
Me: "Well, I WAS wearing FIVE shirts earlier, but she" *pointing to girl that stole my shirt earlier* "stole one of them. Hence, four shirts."
Girl laughs, test passed. I start vibing with her, and the guys, including her boyfriend, don't say a WORD. They couldn't. The girl was having fun. They didn't want to end up being the guy that fucked that up.
Can you give more examples of this? Everything here is heavenly.
