I am no pro to the point where I have this memorized and down in my head.. but my reference to my advice is from the Mystery Method.. see being cocky is a DHV and some parts of being cocky include tease negs.. so to answer your question when it comes to teasing.. he explains how with a 9 you can do 3 negs in a row but with a 7 or bellow you want to do 2 or 3 negs but spread them apart in the conversation.. as far as other ways of being cocky.. I really have no references
but if I were to try to rationalize it I would say that.. since every conversation breaks down to IOI's and IOD's.. there is only two ways to be cocky.. cocky IOI and cocky IOD.. right?.. since a Neg is an IOD.. it works just the same as any other IOD.. like disinterested body language, disinterested facial expressions, etc.
So my only guess would be.. the simplest solution without having to count your IOD's lol..
with girls that are 7 or bellow.. you can always be cocky.. just make sure your not IODing to much.. make sure your cocky but showing more interest to lower value insecure girls.. with a little bit of disinterest thrown in there and spread apart.. that's token resistance I guess
that's the best I can think of man.. take it with a grain of salt.. and field test it
