Post subject:  How to deal with your best friend AMOGing constantly?
Ever since I started picking up and became more confident, my best friend of 6 years has also started to AMOG me and literally attacked me on every DHV FB status I put on. He possess a natural talent for leading people, but by no mean an alpha male, especially to women. He falls into friendzone all the time, yet refuse to listen when I give him a few pointers and recently criticized me for not respecting women which by his definition is putting them on pedestal. Back in the AFC days, I used to be his followers, but nowadays I just do my own things and take charge. I do think that he feels threatened and started to regain his power, especially now that he's about to be a dentist and I still don't have a stable job yet scoring more chicks than him.

I have no problem dealing with AMOGs, however, he's my best friend and I prefer not to go into all out war with him. I have been ignored his comments and occasional deflected it with humor but looks like he isn't gonna stop. I want to know if you guys have any good way to deal with situation like this.

why not ask him to stop? if he is your best friend you should be able to talk to him, no?

Like when we were out, he always bashed my ideas in front of everyone and constantly talked me down. Calling the girls are out of my league and they wouldn't go out with someone who doesn't have a decent job like me. He amoged when I opened to set and try to DHV himself by telling everyone he will soon to be a dentist. He attacked me every time I put on a DHV status. For example, I put this up like 2 hours ago.

FB status: To all the girls that are complaining about all guys are the same, I didn't tell you to try ALL of them like a slut :)

Him: Your statuses have got to stop. Have some respect for women yo.
Me: Funny, I have yet seen a complain from women about those dry sarcastic humorous statuses. Except you.
Him: No one should have complained for you to realize a douchebag status like that.

I ignored him after this and didn't reply.
Funny thing is I have other guys and girls liked this status.

I did. I asked him why does he feel the constant need to criticize the way I live, he couldn't come up with a comeback. Yet he's not stopping.

wow. and this is your best friend? sounds like he's got some issues. although myself i dont think you need to respond to his posts. you would demonstrate higher value by not dignifying them. he makes himself sound like a douche all by himself with those posts.

although some might say posting constant status updates on facebook in itself demonstrates low value rather than high but i suppose it all depends. i would certainly look like a douche posting statuses like that on my facebook because i am 39. it might be different for younger men.

If I was you, I would AMOG him harder. It's not a good way to approach it, but that's just the person I am and I have to live with it.

Logically, I would just stop communicating with him. Why do you need people to make you feel uncomfortable to tickle their little ego?

Look man, this is very simple. If this is your best friend then you should have at least that much closeness with him to sit him down and talk to him about it. If he truly is a friend he will understand that you don't like what he is doing, and if he values your friendship he will stop.

If he doesn't stop or doesn't want to stop or confronts you about your "attitude" towards women again, then you have a different mindset on this and must either accept your differences, or if you cannot, then this friendship is not really a friendship.

Yes male friendships usually have a lot of banter and teasing each other and playful fighting, but if something is truly irritating to the point where it's hindering you in some aspect, then something has to be done about it.

And possibly give him the warning of blocking him on facebook if he constantly bashes your statuses. You don't need someone always calling you out on stuff if you don't want to.

Honesty and direct confrontation is your friend here.

I disagree with Pickwick:

I think it is a waste of energy, AMOG him harder>

If you are in the field gaming around, and you find a set.In stead of gaming the girl, you are bitchfighting each other in front of the girl-> No use at all.

I once had a friend/Wingman, who was AMOG me. When I was negging a girl, he just explained to the girl that I negged her was just a tactic to seduce her?!

YOu can still hang out with your friend, but don't go sarging with him. You don't need him. He is holding you down...and you know it.

He's being a complete dick to you for no reason. I had a friend just like that who is aspiring to become a pharmacist. Needless to say, we aren't that close anymore. Why waste your time maintaining conflict with someone who is trying to socially rape you? Put him on the back burner and find better people to hang out with.

I agree with the above poster that AMOGing him back isn't very good. From an outsider's perspective, it'll just look like two retarded guys fighting with each other over the internet. Definitely won't do you any favors.

I just said that's what I would naturally do because of the type of person I am. Below that, I suggested you should cut communication with him. :)

You can however select who sees and doesn't see your FB updates and statusses under your friendslist right?
Just make a list of specific people you want being able to like/comment on your fb status, leaving him (and other ppl who AMOG you) out of it.
