I read in some pick up material (don't remember where) that the Alpha male is unaffected and unreactive. It doesn't seem to me like this type of person would bother rising to an argument.
If an HB disagrees with something you've said or is trying to argue with you, could you DHV by showing off how level headed you and refusing to get involved?
That's what I tried. I said I was done with the argument because there was nothing to argue about. She was still mad about what had happened earlier during the argument. I asked her if anything had ended up being worse off than it had been when it started. She said no, and I asked why there was any point in being upset if that was the case. It ended with her opening up more and liking me just as much as when it started.
I'd like to think I handled it pretty well. But to mention what you said about trying to DHV by showing off how level headed you are, it could be useful, but it also might just frustrate them more. Although I'd like to think it worked out pretty well for me in this situation.
As said previously though, the best thing to do is to avoid all potential arguments.
